《The Path of a Sith》The Arrival

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Maul and Ezra exited the Tower walking on the grassy fields on Lothal. In the distance a TIE fighter could be seen. "Is that yours?"Ezra asked and pointed at The TIE "Yes..I stole it"Maul answered in a deep voice (yall know how this idiot speaks)
"I have a feeling that we will get along"Ezra said and smirked, crossing his arms. The two continued heading towards the TIE fighter.
IN THE TIE FIGHTER...
As Maul started to pilot the TIE, soon balancing into a steady flight "I have a short question"Ezra said. Maul turned his attention to the raven haired boy "Yes ?". Ezra started looking at the man with sudden hostility "Are you with The Empire?". Maul sighed "No..I'm not, The Emperor killed my brother"Maul said, his voice getting a scratchy effect at the end. Ezra could feel that Maul was telling the truth, behind that deep raspy voice was an honest answer. "I'm sorry....The Empire took my parents away from me"Ezra answered in a sadder tone, trying to sympathize with the man next to him.
"You are the son of the Bridgers right?"Maul asked already knowing the answer " I am,I was living on the streets for almost eight years. None of my parents' aquaintances wanted to help me...They described me as "Dangerous""
"You are force-sensitive, my apprentice"Maul said calmy "Force..what?"Ezra asked looking at Maul "Force-sensetive, it is when you are connected to the Force ...in your case, the connection is very strong". Ezra looked confused "What's the force"
"The Force is the thing that gives you passion, through passion you gain strength, through strength you gain power, Through power you gain victory, and through victory you chains will be broken and The force shall set you free"Maul said. Ezra got quiet for a second "How...How didnt I know this ?"

"Your parents ..were afraid to tell you because they though that if you knew you...would be too dangerous"Maul said. In that moment Ezra wore a slight angry look "How do you know that?" Ezra asked sceptically.
"I knew your parents, apprentice"Maul said. The raven haired boy was taken a back, he didnt expect that answer "You did?"
"Yes... I did, I ran into your father when he was with you, I felt that you are deeply.. strong with the force. After your father left you at your house, I spoke to him and asked did they tell you about your connection through the force but your father said no, he told me that if you knew you would be even more dangerous"Maul said. Ezra felt like the whole world crashed on him, ho could his own father say that about him, HIS own son. Maul felt Ezra's anger and saddnes start building up. He smiled because the boy was already making a connection to the dark side. Ezra barely managed to mutter "I-I.. can't b-belive that he said that". "But your parents didn't know that you can become one of the most powerful Sith in existance, perhaps even the most powerful one"Maul said. "My mum used to... tell me stories about The Sith and Jedi, How ...I remember The Sith are bad while The Jedi are good"Ezra said
"Ah yes...Sith do leave a bad impression but.... they are more powerful then the Jedi. Rememebr this, my apprentice...Peace is a lie and the Jedi are weak, The Dark side is more powerful and it gives you victory"Maul said almost in a hypnotic voice.
"So.... I will be trained to be... a Sith?"Ezra asked as Maul slowly nodded "Yes..you will become the most powerful Sith in the galaxy..nothing... will stand on your way". Ezra felt shivers, even felt uncomfortable, This didnt feel right. He felt so out of space, something was wrong, terribly wrong but Ezra managed to say "Master..Where will we train?"

"On Mustafar"Maul answered
ON MUSTAFAR....
The TIE landed on the old landing platform of the base. The pair went out as Ezra stared into this fiery pits of no where. Muttering "wow.."
"We will be staying here..let me show you where your room is"Maul said starting to walk forward
"I will have a room that is not dirty?"Ezra asked sarcastically. "Yes...you will have a room thats not dirty" Maul answered, gesturing EZra to follow him.
The two went inside the abandoned base. They were walking through the hallways, reaching a dead end. Maul then turned around and showed Ezra a door on the left wall of the hallway. "Here we are"Maul said and opened the Door to Ezra's room. The boy went inside. The room was giant, almost twice as big as his room in his Tower.It had a bed, some shelves on the walls and a window that was next to the bed. The window resambled a little balcony but that was just glass and the view was the volcano in the distance. "I think I'll like it here" Ezra said putting his hands on his hips. Them Maul spoke "My room is on the other side of the base if you have any questions... now I'll leave you to rest. Our training starts tomorrow".
"Okay..Master"Ezra said and The Door closed as Maul went to his own room leaving Ezra alone. The raven haired boy jumped on the bed, laying down "This is amazing...my life actually has a... meaning"
"I guess... I better rest" Ezra closed his eyes but then an image of his parents appeared in his head. Ezra opened his eyes immedietly "why AM I thinking of them...they were afraid of me. Not to mention they had to do their broadcasts because they wanted to bring "hope". Well HOW did that hope end?! with them being taken away and me being all alone".........."I'm going to focus my life on one goal...becoming the most powerful Sith in the galaxy"Ezra said in an angry tone. But soon he realised what he said and a sudden wave of guilt hit him. He didn mean it.....or...did he. His mind was a mess, even when he found something to live for he felt lost....completely lost. This wasnt right.

8 100Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

8 141Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
