《The Path of a Sith》The Sith Temple part 3
Advertisement
After aproximetly one second of falling..Ezra hit the ground hard. "Ugh, I hate when that happens!".... "Where am I anyway?"Ezra asked as he looked around. It seemed like the same darkness was around him. There was nothing except the colour black. Then Darth Traya's voice spoke "What do you desire the most ?"
Ezra winced, being suprised by the question "Mind your own business"
"Just like your master..never sharing personal information"Darth Traya said
"Why do you even need to know what do I desire the most?"Ezra answered her, losing his patience. "That's for me to know and you to find out"Darth Traya said "If she knows why did she ask ?" Ezra thought in annoyance.
"I know...I know what I truely desire ! I want the Empire gone!"
"But ..that's not the full truth..is it ?"Darth Traya said
"What do you mea-"Ezra stopped when he saw that the black room changed into.....Ezra's old house. Everything was in a mess in the house, it was not burned down like he remembered. The house was still standing excep that there were broken things everywhere. Then Ezra winced as his eyes widened "T-This is right after m-my parents were taken away". He started to look around as he sighed. Remembering how things looke before...when his famly was there..togather..happy.
"I ....I wish that.... my parents were never taken away.."Ezra said as he noticed a picture on the table next to him. He picked it up as extreme sadness washed over him.
It was a picture of Ezra as a 6 year old child..his parents standing next to him. They all looked so happy Mum,dad....". He felt tears buidling up so he quickly set the picture down, wiping his eyes and taking a deep breath. Darth Traya's voice had snapped him from his thoughts.

"I ask you again...what do you truely desire?". There was amoment of silence as Ezra spoke "I...I want to know the truth!..The truth about my parents and what happened to them!"
"and what would you do to find that out?"Darth traya asked
"Anything"Ezra answered.
Then Ezra's house dissapeared and it was replaced with the dark room of nothingness again. But this time Ezra was alone, there was another figure there....a familiar one...
"Tseebo!" Ezra said and started to run to Tseebo but something blocked Ezra from getting to him. It was like an invisible wall "What..."
"You said that you would do anything to find out about your parents' fate right?"Darth traya asked with her voice echoing
"Yes"Ezra answered
"Do you see that device on the Rodian's head?"Darth traya asked. Ezra looked towards Tseebo and there was indeed some device around his head.
"In that device there is information about you parents when they were captured by the Empire and... what happened to them.....but"Darth Traya said. " But?"Ezra asked
"To get the device off him ..you will have to ..eliminate him"Darth Traya spoke. Ezra winced. Tseebo was a friend of his parents.."I ..I have to kill him?"
"It is your choice"Darth traya said
Ezra turned his head to Tseebo, looking at the Rodian who seemed completely lost and helpless. Ezra sighed deeply as he picked up Savage opress's lightsaber that Maul gave Ezra and activaded the red blade "I'm sorry Tseebo". The boy said as the wall that was holding him back before disappeared, letting Ezra run to the Rodian and stab him. Ezra looked down at the now lifeless Tseebo "This isnt right, I-I..." Ezra thought
Then everything around Ezra started to break like glass, he shut his eyes but this time he didnt return to the Sith Temple. His mind was starting to slip into unconciousness as Darth Traya spoke "You have passed the Test of Passion".
"Now begins your final test....you have to prove that there is no good in you"
That was the last thing Ezra heard as he passed out...not knowing where he will wake up..

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
8 494Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
8 226James of Galendar
The brain tumour was slowly killing him. For James, his only hope for survival lay beneath the surgeon’s knife. On the operating table, he counted down from ten and waited for what might be the end… When he awakes, he finds himself in another world poised on the brink of catastrophe. With the age of the magician long since dead, a supernatural force threatens to engulf the land and enslave its people. With the help of a local Lord’s feisty daughter, Leander, James must brave the forests of the Gelding in search of the only man who holds the key to their salvation. It is no longer only his life in the balance, but the fate of an entire world.
8 215Forsaken Soul
Morgan is just an average teen or at least he was. He is now in a foreign world where magic is real, mythical beasts roam, and monsters hunt. Labeled as a heretic he was hunted down by the Holy Church and left to die. On his last breath he is reborn as a lich. An undead mage who can summon powerful minions of darkness. Fueled by revenge, bloodlust and the internal darkness of his soul, watch as morgan struggles in a world where he is now the monster and grows in power by consuming the souls of his victims. Will he become a evil creature of massacre? Is there any shred of his humanity left? Will he ever make it back home? ONLY TIME CAN TELL... Note from author: This story will develop slowly. He isn't some chosen person or special in any ways. Not even very lucky, powerful or smart. Just a regular guy in a world he doesn't understand. The novel will cover his journey, even some of the boring and adventureless parts. I want him to seem real. I will however used time skips for long-winded and stagnant periods followed by summaries of what occurred.
8 141The Warring Teacher
An idealist high-school teacher finds death when saving a student. Most of the time he had regretted not having the power to change the world, but at the very end, his last actions saved that student’s world. In Tellus begins the rise of two particular boys. The first one, Kancil, has lived a life full of suffering and betrayal, leading him to throw his life into a quest for revenge. But he has a special talent. Teaching people comes like a second nature to him and he acquired an ability to make that talent something that could change the world. The second one, Brencis, was a commoner boy who rose to the upper echelons of society after finding out he was a superbly talented person. Thus, the naive boy is thrown into the unknown and complicated world of nobility’s intrigue and deception. His only advantage over the double-faced nobles is a special knowledge of groundbreaking technologies that constantly pours into his head during his sleep. Upon death, the high-school teacher was promised rebirth and the two boys display the traits of the teacher when he lived, but only one of them can be the reincarnation of the teacher. ——————— My tags?: A reincarnation litrpg xianxia with base building. At least my plan is blending all those genres with a lil' bit of a 'realistic' twist.
8 174Growth
A fantasy story set in a world after mankind has long passed. Their descendants inhabit the ruins of humanity, barely clinging to survival, plagued by monstrous beasts and blessed with strange powers. Note: Have not edited it at all yet. There will likely be pretty broad changes once I get around to actually reading what I've written.
