This was more than a darkness... more than the Jedi, more than the Sith. He had allowed himself to bask in the force, feeling its archaic energy flow through him... and yet there was something more. While he had learned and experienced the sensations of the force he was yet juvenile in understanding it. Blades on the other hand... Bryn had come up in the world of experience, of practical applications. Augmenting his physical ability, using the force to manipulate object, people... but the force and its behavior was another realm entirely. He could not sense what it was, but there was something hiding behind the veil.
The Sith seemed to repeat himself, again calling out the Republic for violence, for genocide. Bryn breathed inwards slowly, forcing down the frustration deep within. If his people did not want war, then what was this? He could feel the movement of the force, the small flutter of lives being snuffed out as if by a stiff wind even as they stood here discussing those very lives. His eyes picked out the two shuttles the Sith Lord had indicated, tracking them as they flew.
If the Sith Triumvirate had never contributed in the killing of innocents... was he implying that the Denebans were not innocent? What had they done that so deserved this slaughter occurring. Pure madness ran in the streets of Meru... he could sense it far below them, the sounds of chaos rising. He turned to face the Sith lord, noticing his stance. He watched as the Sith's gaze snapped somewhere down the mountain. Before he could react, the Sith lord had moved quickly, shouting and wrapping an arm around Alyona. As the Sith turned towards him, he began to reach for his saber, fumbling with the clip. Too late.
An incredibly powerful force had closed around them, Bryn's last memory that of Alyona's gaze. And in another moment the pressure lifted, his body being flung powerfully forward as if pushed though the force. His lungs were on fire, his chest heaving as he rapidly attempted to force oxygen into his lungs. Normally Bryn would have been able to negate the effects and hold his breath for a long time but that he had not been prepared to, his mind a brief jumble of emotions, thoughts... and then the physical strain. Having felt similar pressures through his experiences sparring Bryn was able to quickly catch his balance despite the distress, the lightsaber forgotten on his belt. Luckily for Alyona, he'd managed to right himself firmly in the alleyway as he felt the pressure of her hand on his shoulder. He could tell she was unhurt without looking, the message communicated through the touch. He quickly imparted the same to Alyona as he began to calmly soothe the pressure in his lungs.
"The beginning" the Sith had uttered... The beginning of what?
As Alyona thanked the Sith, he narrowed his eyes. Looking up towards the mountain he saw a torrential storm of dust and debris... an evil emanating from that place they had so recently inhabited. He spit on the ground and forced himself to look away, to shut out the emotions trying to worm their way in. In a violent mental push, he forced out the intruding thoughts. As he did so, he looked back to where the Sith now stood. He too could sense the fatigue, the Sith had used a lot of energy bringing them here. Why? Sith were not in the habit of saving Jedi, especially Jedi with Padawans in tow. The Sith had to know he was weakening himself further. What was the angle here? It took the discipline he'd worked so hard to master not to simply draw his lightsaber and press an attack. Out of respect for both the Sith, who had willingly saved them and Alyona he withheld his impulse.
Now he listened once more, taking a rearward glance down the alleyway. He could hear chaos coming from other parts of Meru but here they seemed safe, for now. He calmly closed his eyes, listening to Alyona speak, once more opening himself to the force, attempting to keep track of the chaos around them. If the Sith was going to outright kill them, he would not have bothered saving them from the violent force which had consumed the mountainside.
