Liar Liar

[Eugen Aker]

Hephit Station, Vraco, Kiribi System

Arisa anxiously paced back and forth down the hall, looking out through the wide-spanning viewpoints for incoming traffic every few minutes before drooping her head once more toward the floor. Since arriving at the busy space station, she hadn't been able to sit still, wound up from nervous energy.

An email from Jardain out of the blue (or someone posing as Jardain) had brought the issue of the missing Jedi back to the forefront of her mind after her attention had consumed by war once more.


The harsh words of the rage filled message kept running through her head, one word in particular. Liar.


Both out of a sense of guilt and curiosity, she had invited the sender to meet her on Hephit on the outer reaches of her home system, the KSU being a neutral space much like the FWC or the CSA. Here they would be safe, but so would Arisa. Neither the Dragoons or the Abhorsen who patrolled the station would take kindly to any altercation between Jedi and Sith.

Now she could only wait and see if her call would be answered.

The letter written to Arisa had actually been thought out for a while before being sent. The word chosen carefully to fully express what the former Jedi felt. The message had been sent and received by the now Jedi Grand Master. Through the entire script, one point was made perfectly clear, Jairdain felt betrayed and lied to. The fact she was now Sith was a side effect of the lies and broken promises Arisa had told and made to the former Knight.

When a reply had come back with a location, day and time to meet, Jairdain chose to agree to it. In her time among the Sith, she had learned to harness and use the emotions she had feared for so long. Those she never used while she was Jedi. The ones she had always locked away into a little box and then released at a later time. She was not a wild card or too unpredictable, instead these emotions were still kept in check and Jairdain was a calm fire of anger.

Most of the time, she remained calm and collected. The emotions she felt still clearly displayed on her face. She had never tried to hide them nor did she now. There was resentment and the feeling of being betrayed, of anger at being forgotten and left in prison after being kidnapped again.

While Arisa paced, Jairdain came aboard the station. Her robot helper came with her. She no longer wore what was considered her typical Jedi garb, Jairdain was no longer Jedi. Still keeping a little with the robelike garb, they were dark now. Not entirely black, but changed from the brown she wore with the Jedi. Walking aboard the station, Jairdain sought out to find where the Grand Master Arisa was.
