The Rebel Faction

Aleister looked at Dolash.

"I did hear a voice. It was as if the mountains themselves spoke to me, and expressed their displeasure. I didn't mean to upset them, I was only trying to help. I told them thus, and, they said "My appology wouldbe "considered."

"To be truthful, Master, I have no idea what that means. I didn't mean any harm by removing the objects, they were loose already. I only wanted to help."

He sat again, eyes closed, breathing normally, and awaited a response.

Aleister paused. He was certainly conflicted.

The Force had spoken to him. It was clearly displeased that he had taken the crystal. He would have to find a way to assuage the Force when it came to getting this new crystal, some way to be sure that it would allow him to have it, without angering it again.

He stood up and stretched, his wings fluttering a little bit.

He had no idea what he was going to do, but it was time.

Looking deeper into the cavern, he saw a tunnel, lit by torches. He took one from its cairn, and lit it against a small fire, and carried it with him to ensure visibility.


He walked deeper into the cavern, eyeing its construction, and the formations that the rock had created within hte temple. He noticed lightly colored crystals that dotted all throughout the temple area, but, this was not what he searched for.

He continued forward, until he reached the secret passageway, which he studied for a short period before opening. He stepped through.

Aleister held his ground, though his wings twitched slightly at the laughter.

He kept his position, without appearing to be a foe of whatever this was, as he was certainly curious.

"My name, is Aleister Mianar. I am a student of Dolash, the Great Jedi Master. He instructed me to enter into this cavern and retrieve a crystal which should be right where you have emerged from. I come in peace, with no ill will."

Aleister nodded in his head for the moment. The being did have a point.


"Great is a relative term, oh spirit. In this case, would it not be possible for me to believe that you both be great?"

He paused before speaking a second time and inquired again.

"Power doth not make one great sir, but the ability to harness it, and NOT use it, and understand why, that makes one great."

Aleister marvelled at this. To gain the stone, all he would have to do, was give up his moral ground, a thing that the Jedi did covet. This was, inherently, an obvious test.

He could not see himself doing so.

"Why sir, Why would I threatnen that which i cannot touch? To do so would be obvious lunacy. Perhaps we must think of another solution? Surely the crystal is but a trinket to you, and there are many others which are larger, shinier, and more valuable to you?"

He paused and he watched the ghost peek out of the stone momentarily.

"Not to mention, being that you are incorporeal, do you really have use for such a crystal, when you yourself cannot even hold it?"

"May I ask, Sir, what you are? Or, used to be, as the case may be? Obviously, either you are a fallen Jedi, or no jedi at all, which leads me to wonder why you choose to inhabit this place, and spend time in an area so connected to Master Dolash? If you truly despise the Jedi and what they stand for, wouldn't you rather inhabit a place that was for the most part, free of them? I'm certain there are worlds out there that you would thrive on without any presence that you truly despise. hrm? You speak of trade. What could i offer you, that would make you want to part with the crystal i wish to retrieve for my Master?"
