Star wars: a mirrored life (legacy book 1)

Chapter 14: apprenticeship

When the vision thinned itself out the outside world became clear to Techla, she awoke in a different room- the walls where draped with crimson red fabric and symbols of the empire covered the walls. Techla could see behind the draped fabric was a shiny black wall. The room was shaped in a hexagonal form and she realised that she was seated upon a stone bench that was in the middle of the room.

Techla looked down at her torso, she could see that she was wearing a black robe that had a hood that covered her head. She was also wearing plain black leggings and knee high black boots.

Techla quickly got up from her 'bed' and saw across the room was a mirror- Techla decided she needed to see her new outfit at its full and walked over to the mirror.

Techla began to peer into the mirror and saw... Eyes...

Her eyes.

Her eyes where yellow- like that of a sith she was wearing a black robe and her headtails, montreals and skin where pale. She could even see the veins through her skin.

Techla looked down at her lightsaber. She appeared to have two lightsabers. She took them out and ignited them.

One was bright green with an intricate pattern on the hilt- it was her Jedi lightsaber.

She picked up the other, it felt familiar- like she had seen it somewhere before. She ignited it and found a purple blade. Techla realised that this was the lightsaber that belonged to Jedi Master Mace Windu.

"But how-- but--?" Techla exclaimed- she just could not find the words to describe her confusion. If this was a dream- it was a vision. But it felt so real. How could she have ended up in this room how could she have gotten this lightsaber, these clothes. This appearance- she looked like a sith.

"It is you destiny." A voice from behind her caused her to jump. There in front of her was an man in sith robes, he had midnight black hair that was short cut and looked around thirty years old.

"Who are you?" Techla questioned.

"Your master." The man said darkly.

"Huh?!" Techla was completely dumbfounded- she felt like Valerie.

"I am Darth Aquian" the man continued.

"But you are a sith!" Techla exclaimed.

"And your master."

"I am a Jedi." Techla said with determination.

"Come now. You have no where to go." Aquian said menacingly whilst pacing towards her. Techla took a step back. "After all." He continued. "You want to help your friend Valerie."

"What do you know of Valerie." Techla interrogated defensively.

"Everything" Aquian said in a dark tone before leaving the room.

Techla quickly ran over to the door- it was now Ray shielded from the outside- she had no chance of getting out that way.

She had no choice- she would probably have to join the sith.

"If they knew where Valerie is..." She thought as she sat down against the door.
