The voices of unknown origin caused the young Chiss to look for the source, only to find out what sounded like a sentient being was a crystal. Surprised, the teenager continued to stare into the box, watching the crystals change colors and listening to their chatter. Having never seen anything like that, she immediately deemed the strange crystals to be quite rare, as no Jedi she had met possessed such a thing. Because of that, [member="Darth Praelior"]'s gift surprised the Chiss even more. A lowly Dark Jedi Padawan by no means deserved one of the crystals. Students of more worth, the true Sith who have studied the right path for much longer than her. But if the Sith Master presented her with something like this, Alaki would by no means return the crystal, taking the opportunity as she might not get another one.
Taking the crystal into her hand, she held it gently between her fingers, listening to its words. Such an interesting little thing, yet with the potential of becoming utterly devastating if wielded by the right person...
Shifting her attention back to the Zeltron Sith Master, the blue skinned girl lowered her hand holding the crystal and listened to the woman's words, explaining the nature of the crystals. From the gathered information, it seemed it would be impossible for the Chiss to use the unique crystal for some time, at least until she learned how to let out her passion properly. The major setback called Jedi training threatened to toss more obstacles under her feet. She may have deemed the Jedi teachings wrong a long time ago, but habit is like an iron jacket.
Upon suddenly hearing the Sith Master adress her, the Chiss gulped. Time seemed to slow down as she expected the crystal to be taken back, as she was unworthy of having one. Failure as a Jedi, the same as a Sith. Maybe she should have died instead of joining the enemy to save her life. Such a selfish thing she did in hopes of extending her life and becoming as powerful as the Sith, but how could a Padawan who was too weak-willed to resist the temptation of power become a strong Sith? Her rank has never even been on the pyramid of the Sith hierarchy, Dark Jedi Padawans such as her nothing more than weaklings, filth, just the title an insult used by the Sith among themselves.
Alaki did not dare to look at the Zeltron, or to make any noise. She just stood there, listening. The Chiss fully understood she had to embrace her new identity as a student of the Sith, yet the remains of the Jedi Padawan still resided in her body and mind. Learning something and believing it for so many years, only to toss it all aside and accept the exact opposite, the fear of the unknown, that was what continued to prevent the Chiss from shedding her Jedi part. Unlike the majority of the Sith Acolytes, the fallen Padawan still knew little about the Sith Order, despite spending countless nights in the library and taking in the knowledge.
Then the spell hit her and the young Chiss found herself overwhelmed by the passion wrapping around her body. No light still present inside her could possibly prevent the darkness from spreading, consuming her mind and body alike. At first it hurt, almost like Force lightning as she sub-consciously tried to resist, her body shaking violently. Lust for power soon replaced the fear she felt and the teenager realized she enjoyed it. The Dark Side, the greatest of all powers, the right way of life. It felt liberating, exciting. The Padawan finally fell dead, replaced by a Sith Acolyte. While she still held the title of a Dark Jedi Padawan, Alaki felt different. The Dark Side radiating from the beings around suddenly seemed natural.
"Yes," the blue skinned girl moaned, still recovering from the unexpected burst of emotions in her body, "Much better... Thank you for helping me find the right path, [member="Darth Praelior"]."
