《Son of the Dark (Male Sith Reader X Female Jedi)》Chapter 7: Dual Duel
Advertisement
Aleera was quick to deflect my initial attack and sidestepped to rekindle her defence. I ruthlessly swung my lightsaber on the offensive, before she utilized the surrounding trees to her advantage using them as grounds for a leaping attack, she used superior speed and agility again like she did during battle.
(Y/N): "Gah!"
As I might've said before my defence forms are rusty, Aleera's feline-like movement and quick attacks were nothing like what I faced with Ar' Gai. I struggled to keep up with my defence as she outmaneuvered me at almost every leap and dodge. I eventually unleashed a barrage of Force Lightning, catching her off guard and sending her flying back a few meters away.
(Y/N): "Had enough?"
I asked. She coughed for a moment before dusting herself off.
Aleera: "Clearly you're not exactly as best a defensive duelist as you previously thought."
She smirked.
(Y/N): "I try."
I responded. Throwing my red blade at her, she only leapt over it, a small portion of her Jedi robes was cut but otherwise it was a clean dodge. My sabre returned to my hand, as I evaluated on how I could defeat her.
Aleera: "So I heard from my master that some Dark Side users love to take risks. Please, allow me to make this a bit more interesting for you, Sith."
She politely stated. Taking her twin lightsabers and connecting the two hilts together, forming a potent double bladed weapon.
(Y/N): "Interesting, but can it save you from the power of the Dark Side?"
I asked again, letting out Force Lightning once more. She was now quick to react, raising the green-bladed side of her double-bladed lightsaber and blocking the attack with ease.
(Y/N): "You adapt quickly, you learn from your mistakes... Not much Jedi practice this simple act."
I said, twirling my lightsaber around in an attempt to intimidate her.

Aleera: "I guess I'm not like other Jedi..."
She shrugs, I charge towards her, leaping over her failing to scratch her as she protected herself with her blue bladed side. We both attacked and counterattacked at the same time, red, blue and green light shows in their final act. We eventually ended in a deadlock, though my strength was emerging superior.
(Y/N): "RAH! Enough of this nonsense!"
I swiftly kicked out her feet from beneath, acting faster than she could've perceive. Even with the help of the Force. Though she responded with a kick to my abdomen, stumbling back I was dazed as she got back up. I recovered quickly and shoved her away with the Force. I sighed heavily as I began to approach her, dragging my red lightsaber through the ground.
(Y/N): "I'm sorry that I have to do this..."
I apologize. Slashing apart her double bladed sabre at the centre before she could retaliate. Concentrating around her neck, I clench my hands in a gripping motion in order to-
I lay there almost helpless as I begin to feel pressure begin to build up around my throat. He's strangling me with the Force... Is this how I end?
Suddenly, a blue buzz fills the air as a distinctive stun blast hits the boy dead centre in his back. He grunts in an effort to stay conscious, but three more slam into him, sending him to the ground.
Aleera: "Apparently not..."
A small squadron of troopers appear from the bushes, the lead one with black markings on his armour was the one who stunned the Sith.
CT-1337: "General Viola, are you alright?"
He asks frantically. I nod, stealing a glance at my twin sabres. Still functional, thank the Force.
Aleera: "Thank you trooper. Your squad's arrival was just in time."
CT-1487: "No problem General, we heard all the commotion from a mile away. Figured you needed some help."

The trooper who was in lead turned his attention to the boy, a click was heard as he set his blaster from stun to kill.
CT-1337: "Should I shoot him sir?"
I lowered his blaster, shaking my head. My master had told me about how the Sith became extinct decades ago, it would be a shame to kill of such a fighter like him. Plus, it felt like I could hear the Force calling, to me, telling me to let him live.
Aleera: "It isn't in a Jedi's nature to kill. Take him on board the Manifest and call the crew to expect my arrival and prepare for the jump to hyperspace on the course to Coruscant. Meanwhile, you and the rest of the Corps continue hunting for what's left of his army."
I ordered, the Clone saluted.
CT-1487: "Yes sir!"
I waited in the interrogation ward until he woke up restrained with specially created cuffs so he couldn't use the Force in any way. I entered his room, he gave a little wave.
(Y/N): "Greeting again Master Jedi... Or should I say, Knight."
He smirked.
Aleera: "So... a Sith. How is it you came around during these times. After I did a little more digging around I found out that there used to be many of you... now, it's just you, and Dooku..."
(Y/N): "First, my name is (Y/N). b) Why is it you want to know so badly Aleera?"
Aleera: "I'm curious (Y/N). Most Jedi as I've seen are pretty arrogant about their viewing of the Force as being the only valid one."
(Y/N): "That's a common trait I see in the few Jedi I've met."
Aleera: "So, why is it you delve into the Dark Side of the Force?"
(Y/N): "My father was a Sith, descendant of a long line of family who were apart of the ancient Sith Empire, he taught me what he knew about the Dark Side. What power it gave a person and how to control it."
This made me even more curious. What would the powers of the Dark Side provided for an individual should one seek to be able to harness it? This boy intrigued me...
(Y/N): "You seem interested in me and my life Aleera. What wonder, I almost killed you didn't I?"
Aleera: "I may be a different Jedi in some ways, but vengeance is something I do not abide by."
I stood right in front of him, crossing my arms. Keeping my focus on the Force to my lightsabers, just incase he tries anything.
(Y/N): "Loyal and honest to the Jedi Order to the end, loyalty is a virtue few own. I admire people who keep their word, despite me being a Sith."
Aleera: "It seems we both have our defiances and loyalties where they lie. But all the same I still have to take you to the Jedi Council."
(Y/N): "I've always wanted to see Coruscant."
Aleera: "Maybe you'll get your chance."
I smiled confidently at him, before I left his holding cell. The two Clone guards sat dead on the floor, I looked at (Y/N), who was still in the holding field. He just stared at me and smiled back, mine disappeared.
Aleera: 'The Force-Resistant shield didn't work... he could've strangled me right then and there and escape. Even now... yet he doesn't.'
Despite this I activate my comms and message the prison warden.
Aleera: "Warden Griff, this is General Viola. Two men down in holding block 4B-9... The boy has not escaped... Yes, I'll leave now. Tell the Admiral to continue the trip back to Coruscant."

8 367Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
