"My name is Violet Grey. I'm the leader of the Grey Republic." I stood there for a minuet, processing what she said.
"You said that like I'm supposed to know what that means." I propped my hand on hip, and gave her a confused look.
"Oh, sorry. The grey republic is an order of force users who walk the fine line between the light and dark sides of the force. It's like a balancing act between the sith and the Jedi. Now, what's your name?" That explained the the hybrid symbol along with the incident with the merchant.
"I'd rather not say until I know what your intentions are," my grandmothers name was famous. I didn't need her knowing that. "Why did you help me back there?"
"Well, I... I felt something. I can feel the force radiating off of you in uncontrollable waves. You don't know how to wield it properly, do you?" She stares at me, almost looking straight into my soul. I felt like I was being picked apart, as if she was reaching into even the darkest corners of my mind.
"Kyla Organa. You need to come with me. I'm afraid that if you don't learn to properly wield the gift you've been given, you'll bring great damage to those around you." She reached her hand out to me.
"Join me. I can train you. I know a lot about the force, and I can see you are incredibly powerful." I stared at her, before laughing. A look of confusion crossed her face.
"If you really think I would join you, then you must not know as much about the force as you claim to. I'm not about to join someone I've just met who claims they are a master of the force. I have a perfectly capable ship and droid that will help me visit temples. I don't need you." I turned around, and started walking back towards The Light Ravager.
"Kyla wait. Are you really not going to head my warning about the destruction you could bring?" I ripped my hand away from hers, and she sat there baffled at me. I calmly walked right up to her, till our faces where merely inches apart. I could see a glimpse of fear pass her gaze, as she started to lose her grasp on my mind, and I gained one on her. I didn't rummage around through her mind and be nosy like she was with me, no. I dropped my control and instead turned around and started heading towards my ship, leaving her shocked.
"Thanks for the new trick!" I waved to her without turning around, and boarded the Light Ravager. Klaw stood there waiting for me, following me into the cockpit.
"Set course for Tython. We leave immediately."
