    Loki steps away from her touch, a sharp movement that puts distance between them. He steps back, away from her, out of her range of reach. “I did not do it all to protect you. I did it because I wanted to, because I wanted to destroy myself and my body. And I would rather you be angry than this- this indifference!” Sigyn’s eyes widen, shock and hurt flashing across her face.

    “Indifference?” She echoes, looking utterly appalled. Loki continues on, his voice shaking.

    “Yes!” His voice rises, his pain and frustration coming to the surface. “Yell at me! Scream at me! I have defiled your name and our relationship by lying with another! Several others! Do something, say something!”

    Sigyn’s eyes flash with sudden intensity, her gentle demeanor giving way to fierce passion. “You think this is indifference?” She exclaims, her voice rising as she steps forward with purpose. “Loki, I am far from indifferent. I am burning with rage, but not at you.”

    Summary

    Three months after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker goes in search of a rumoured Jedi temple in a secluded part of the Mid Rim. He finds within the temple nothing but a strange artifact, which unexpectedly brings him much closer to the Jedi of old than he ever thought he would be.

    When Luke fails to return from his mission, Leia goes after him, retracing his steps to the ancient temple — and to the past, to the time of the Clone Wars and the waning years of the Old Republic. Under suspicion by the Jedi Order, the twins struggle to find a way back to their own time while trying to keep their knowledge of the future from affecting the past.

    This, however, turns out to not be as simple as it seems.

    Qui-Gon left out a small, amused breath, and shook his head. “No,” he said. “Not yet.”

    “Not yet?”

    “Anyone could die at any moment.” Qui-Gon gave him a gentle smile. “You’re just closer than usual right now.”

    Summary

    The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. But one Sith sorcerer pushed the boundaries of Darkness farther than ever before. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side that none could rival him. The only thing he was afraid of was losing his power. Such a foolish man. Darth Vitiate should have known to fear love.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And then, the single, unified rhythm breaks.

     

    The chant dies away awkwardly. Everyone is breathing too hard to sing. And they are too distracted in any event. For the men down below in the sanctuary begin to yield their Force. Slower, and slower still becomes the pulsating sensation emanating from their group. One man at the front shudders and slumps forward as the first to fall. As he slumps, a blue mist of visible Force wafts up from his body to travel towards Lord Tenebrae. It swirls around the priest and disappears. Then another man slumps and more blue mist envelopes the Master Sorcerer.

     

    Tosca watches in horror. This is the visible evidence of a soul leaving its body to adhere to another. Tonight’s ritual is more than an execution that kills and sends the Force of the condemned back to join the universe at large from which it came. This is theft. The condemned yield their Force to another completely in an unprecedented transfer of power. Lord Tenebrae is literally absorbing their lives, she realizes.

     

    The men start falling fast as the ritual gains momentum even as the thumping sensation slows to a halt. Everywhere Tosca looks, men are prostrate face down dead. The air is shimmering with blue mist arising and wafting towards Lord Tenebrae. It’s like seeing four hundred ghosts rising from the dead to join together and possess a new body. This is Sith alchemy at its most complex and daunting.

    _

    “Darkness is dangerous,” the priest gasps in a shaky voice.

     

    Yes, Darkness is deadly. Tonight had demonstrated that very clearly. “It’s done. You’re done now.”

     

    “It will consume you if you let it. Once it’s done lashing out, it destroys from within—“

     

    He’s babbling now. She just lets him talk.

     

    “That’s why Darkness can’t win. Because once we defeat others, we will defeat ourselves. We will turn on one another. It’s why the Sith will never rule the galaxy. Not for long, at least . . . ”

     

    “Shhh. Do not doubt. Do not fear. Darkness is supreme,” she assures him. “We will win in the end.” She quotes him Dark Side chapter and verse. “We will get revenge. Once more, the Sith shall rule the galaxy.”

     

    “We won’t. We can’t. I know it for certain,” he chokes out. “Fourteen hundred years a Sith has taught me the fallacy of Darkness . . . ”

    _

    “Plenty of Sith elite have the Light in some degree or another. Some of what people perceive as low skills in Darkness is really the Light at work,” Carl explains. “It’s something of a counterbalance, I suppose. But since no one alive has ever seen the Light in action, they do not recognize it.” He shrugs. “Sometimes in life you have to know what you are looking for in order to find it.”

    _

    Tosca holds his gaze as she raises her left hand and announces her benediction, "I bleed for you, my Lord." Then she takes the knife and slashes her palm and keeps on slashing. She wounds her hand and then carves hard at her wrist too.

    "NO!" Carl roars as his far superior reflexes nab the knife she next raises to plunge into her throat. He knocks it away and knocks her down in the process. "NO!"

    She's on the ground bleeding in sickening spurts from her left wrist. She stares blankly at the gory wound. Is it sufficient? She hopes so. Carl clearly fears it is because he grabs her left arm and starts wrapping tight with his cloak.

    "What have you done?" he hisses.

    Carl is the one fumbling and terrified now. Tosca herself is surprisingly calm. She's not afraid to die. She's done it before. What truly scares her is living forever with this man. And maybe it's clinical shock, but Tosca is not feeling any pain. She just feels release. Like a great weight has been lifted from her shoulders. She will be free soon. Free of this man and his toxic love that has destroyed her life.

    Like all suicides, this is an act of desperation. But it is not a cry for help. Tosca would not have taken this path as a ploy for attention. This is not a stunt. Tosca did it with intent to follow through. This is her best choice, she believes. With the grim cost benefit analysis that first led her to Carl's throne room, Tosca has thought this through. And yes, today she has been an emotional wreck reeling from the loss of Gaius. But tonight was a deadline she could not put off. And besides, more time to think it over would yield no further options.

    Summary

    “Where am I?” The question comes out with a snarl. “Who are you?”

    The other woman tilts her head slightly to the side, and there is something about her pose, something about her eyes, that-

    “I think,” she says calmly, hands folded in front of her, “that I might be your mother-in-law.”

    (In which Rey leaves Jakku, and does so very much against her will.)
