Jud Watched as Nartaga and the rest of the nearby Council were dismissed with a wave from the Elder.
"Oh, how ironic... The used becomes the user." Jud said venomously. "I was hoping you'd allow them to hear, especially the boy." Jud made a pouty face in mock sadness. He didn't need a history lesson on how he was, or how the Tusken was similarly motivated . Nor did he need a detailed analysis of how the Elder managed to stand before him, everything had already been fleshed out in the Old Sith's mind; still not dulled by the millenniums of usage. "A blink, a spark, a flickering flame." Jud waved his hand at the Elder, shooing the notion away. "He does put so much faith into your words. Oh, wise one... He thinks you care." Jud grinned before having to covering his mouth to stifle the roaring laugh. "And to think, you used to be a Watchmen. A Keeper of Light!" Jud said it loudly, hoping it carried across the Enclave, drawing in the curiosity of the inhabitants to this most rare spectacle. "All that, all your righteousness on doing the right thing, on protecting the weak. All that you fought against for so long, so long ago." Jud smirked again. "And you ended up like me anyways... You took the plunge knowing the outcome, and you did it anyways." Jud laughed, shaking his head from side to side, seeming to try to make sense of the happiness he was feeling. "I can't say I blame you, it is fun, isn't it?"
Jud looked surprised at the Elder's death-feint. "Oh? Harder? Don't tempt me in trying, old friend. I'm not really good about leaving loose ends hanging around. It's a compulsion; some would say..." Jud laughed, clutching his side. "But if you are truly more sand than man. It would prove a most interesting dissection."
Jud grinned at the jab, chuckling slightly. He looked at the man, the fraud of a Tusken, a nexu in Tusken clothing. Jud was silent, and the silence could be seen as an unnerving precursor, but it wasn't. "It has been two thousand years - give or take - and about three thousand since the youngling incident... Old friend." Jud said in a low measured monotone. "And if I acted my true age, I'd be nothing more than the dust you're made of. Correct?"
Jud's eyebrow raised as the Elder said that his plans had been disrupted by the Sith, and the addition of having Jud return to his "hole" was brilliant. But little would deter the Sith now, he had found much more than he bargained for in what should have been a two minute "thank you". "You are very correct about one thing... I have no Masters." Jud grinned. "I know of the crystals, and of you. So, why would I put my tail between my legs and leave now? This is just getting interesting."

Jud grinned. "I know of the crystals, and of you. So, why would I put my tail between my legs and leave now? This is just getting interesting." -The Elder- "It only took me a few years to realize that the Jedi were stagnating. While I do not agree with the measure taken by your brethren...betraying once you once stood for....I can say that while we are similar, in our power and longevity....I, however, do not leech off of the weak. What do you think I am doing among Tuskens, hmm?! I have planted seeds, Jud'dayus! Seeds that will help them rise to power once even you and I are gone. This is only my most recent appearance to them. I have been hiding for a long time. I am surprised it has taken us this lon to meet each other once more."The Elder's grip on his staff tightened, and a creaking of the ancient wood that it was made him come back to the matter at hand; Jud'dayus. He would have to shake him off, if he wanted things to go smoothly. But the man being who he was...this would be difficult. He knew showing Force would only play into Jud'dayus's hands. And while he did not doubt he could hold his own against the Sith, he knew that eventually he would lose. Instead he decided to downplay the crystals. He circled Jud'dayus as he walked, speaking down to him.-The Elder- "You remember what happened the last time with the crystals, do you not? Of course you are older, stronger...perhaps even wiser...But you saw the things that one crystal was doing to Nartaga? Think of if you had the others? You could try to leech out the power from them slowly, but that is what Nartaga tried to do. I have taught him in many things. He is my apprentice, one of the most gifted humans I have seen in some time, and he still failed to do this. He turned himself into another dead end. Eventually the power...will consume him."The Elder stopped in front of Jud'dayus, and looked the man in his good eye. The energy that flowed from the Elder was filled with anger, but he controlled it enough to speak to Jud'dayus civilly.-The Elder- "Or perhaps you believe you can use him yourself? Is that close to the thoughts that are forming in that twisted mind of yours? Nartaga...this clan....this Enclave...this planet.....will be mine, Jud'dayus. Do not get in my way, or you will find yourself on the wrong side. Go back to your empty Temple, and stay there....and you will be left alone. This is my advice to you...as an...Old Friend." |

*Vollen look at Ish and the talisman he held. She look down her blasters pointing at him and his wife her hands white from hold them so thight.*
"She tells me to hurt you?"
*The voice she could hear was her own darkest desire left to boil for years, all the years hurt and pain build up untill it wants setting free. "Just squeeze the trigger you so close" Maybe her parents were right not to let her leave with the jedi perhaps they saw a darkness in her a child. She watched as the tuskens left the room she had caused them to leave when Ish had been so nice to her why was this happing she thinks to herself and the voice raise up again"It happen because it must, we must be who we are, YOU MUST"
"Will he help me?"

Lost in thoughts had she spoke these out loud to no one at all. Having a sinking feeling of something going on with elder, but having enough respect to let him handle what every needed. It still didn't make any better for what was happening to her giving the swagging beast before her one more pet. Giving away to the smell, that having to guess one could get use to after a while. Finding herself inching herself to the huts but more so until she almost ran smack into Nartaga.
I hummm hello there, I... can't help but feel uneasy of mix feelings coming from you.. Lowering her head could deside what to sa next or even could be over stepping herself in these matter before hand. After all guest among these people. Not knowing if this one would remember her as after all it was a very short visit.

"Did not agree!? Betrayed!? I WAS BETRAYED! You SIMPLEMINDED FOOL!" Jud yelled, barely restraining his rage as he watched the Elder circle him. Jud shook his head and told himself to remain calm, chuckling before speaking again. "I left the Order...because I had to. You, on the other hand. You chose your parting, and on what terms. As much as you lord your decisions over mine as correct, you're just as damaged as me. Never forget that." Jud said calmly in his actual voice. The voice he had talked with when they had been friends, comrades, brothers. It was youthful, measured, with a mellow timber that verged on a slight accent. "As for leeching... WE do what we must, don't we?" Jud continued, watching the Elder pace around him. "Seeds can always be planted... but it doesn't mean they will sprout, or flourish in the ways we want or expect." Jud smiled. "You always had such a myopic view of things. Never thinking outside the box." Jud nodded his head." I blame the Order for that, stifling your perception of the truth, and it weighs on me." The Sith said solemnly as he looked upon the Elder pitifully, with a single naturally hazel eye. "What is one people, one planet, compared to the limitless potential of the Galaxy?" Jud extended his hand and clamped it shut. "You can have your small vision of a prospering garden. I already have the rest."
Nartaga, a human. The Sith smiled. "Yes, yes .yes yes yes.." He said, his born-voice receding into a low hiss. It made sense, and the Old Sith chuckled at himself for somehow over looking it. "I must admit, you've shown your hand too early, yet again...Old Friend." Jud mused for a moment. "Oh, and I do recall the crystals. I recall a Jedi Watchmen uniting the Clans against me and my quest." Jud smiled at the Elder, before clapping his hands mockingly. "It was quite the achievement, to bring the warring tribes together against little ol' me. Too bad that Tusken's are weak, weak minded savages. Only capable of the most basic of sentience, yet just enough to be seduced, persuaded, and ultimately controlled." The Sith laughed, a triumphant laugh. " How did your pawns fair then?" Jud tapped on his chin in mock thought. "Oh, that's right. They ripped each other apart... allowing me to kill you." Jud just gave the Elder a gloater's smile. "I mean, not exactly. Since you're here..." Jud shrugged. "As for the boy, he has no clue what hes done... You brought his demise upon him. You can have the mess that you created." Jud waved his hand dismissively. "As for your miniscule pawns and this dust ball planet." Jud laughed. "You can keep that as well..."
In an instant Jud's mirthful demeanor was gone, replaced by the baleful glint of his eye. "There's one tiny thing though. Before I leave you to your small vision."
"You will give me the crystals in your possession, and the others you know of." Jud stated bluntly. "Or more of your pawns die..."

I will lead you to our Elder."Lost in thoughts had she spoke these out loud to no one at all.

I am sure that he will be pleased to see you."Not even waiting, or actually asking where Regina was heading, Nartaga took her by her arm and half-ran, making sure to go a way that went around the Elder and Jud'dayus, back to his hut. He opened the door and closed it behind him, leaning on it, and putting his hand to his forehead. He was almost in a panic at what might happen. He kept having visions of the ground littered with bodies. Whether this vision was from the past or the future, he did not know. A bit unsettled, he tried to talk.-Nartaga- "I am sorry to drag you like that, but I believe that it is best to stay here for a few minutes. Anven, you, of course, know Regina...""Did not agree!?

"Or more of your pawns die..." -The Elder- "These people are not as weak-minded as you believe them! They are capable of great things! You underestimation of them is a mistake! I taught their ancestors to use the Force! To tap into Tatooine's power, and to use it to their advantage! They are learning! In another ten generations they will be taking their first steps into the Galactic Community as peaceful beings, if not sooner...The tribes you destroyed were mongrels, unaware of the potential they had! The Tuskens are an untapped force, one that is only waiting to be shaped and used..."The Elder coughed a bit and held his hand to Jud'dayus, empty and open, showing him that he nothing to give the Old Sith. He clenched it into a fist and lightning crackled within it.-The Elder- "What you see is what you get, Jud'dayus. I sent Nartaga back to recover four crystals that I know still exist, but he was only able to recover two. He absorbed one, and the other he guards with his life...They are....lost even to you."The Elder hunched over as a stronger coughing fit came up, and he covered the mouth portion of his mask. He walked a bit closer to Jud'dayus as his fit subsided. He pointed a finger at Jud'dayus and leaned on his staff for support as he continued speaking.-The Elder- "Through the boy's faults and mistakes, there is still hope he will survive. I included him in my plans, and the blame is rightfully mine, but as long as there is a chance.....I cannot ignore it....He is one of the few beings in these bleak times I see a future for worth having! So much untapped potential! He has the spirit and ability of someone many times more experienced than him..."The Elder lifted his staff a few inches off the ground and brought it back down, sending a small Force shockwave through the sand and air.-The Elder- "You shall do no harm here Jud'dayus. If you dare harm a hare on a Bantha's head, you will never find what you seek...When you decide to ask more nicely, you may try again....but I fear the answer will be the same!" |

Anara smiled and guided Malystrix over to an empty part of the training area, and sat down, gestured for him to sit facing her. She held out her hand for him to take in his and nodded her head at any apprehension he might had, to let him know everything was okay.-Anara- "I wanted to try this, to help you clear up your vision, so we can discern what it is that has brought worry to your mind, so we can prepare."Anara closed her eyes and cleared her mind, and reached out to Malystrix with the Force.-Anara- "I want you to clear your mind, and only focus on my voice, and do exactly as I tell you to do, understood? We will get to the bottom of this vision, and figure this out together, okay? I just need you to trust me....."Anara reach out further to Malystrix, both with the Force and her mind.
For a long moment he simply looked at the offered hand, his stern features expressionless. One hand finally shifted forward, calloused fingers gently closing over the woman's as Malystrix bowed his head. One long breath left him as he delved into the river of the force, shutting out the noise from the encampment, the heat from the scorching twin suns, the sand and grit that filled the air, until there was only her, and himself, and the swirling, all-encompassing currents of the force. Her consciousness touched his and he withdrew instinctively. 'No...it is here that I will find my purpose.' The unspoken words strengthened the warrior's resolve. 'I can let nothing stop me.'
With gritted teeth, Malystrix opened his mind to Anara.
"Very well." the murmured Miralukan words hung in the void that encompassed the two.

Jud glowered at the man before him. He was so feeble, so weak, yet he continued this futile act of defiance. The Sith's face set into a stoney scowl as the Elder drew the Force to him, in a faint attempt to show any measure of power. What did he expect to do? Did he truly think he could match wits and power with the Sith, again? Jud's eyebrow raised as the ancient man was wracked by crippling coughs. Maybe he was further gone than Jud had originally realized? Maybe his brain was already dust, and there was no fear to keep the Elder from sacrificing himself for his failed experiment? It was preposterous, but not completely improbable.
The Old Sith adjusted his stance to the Elder, moving so minutely that it looked like he was still standing as he had before.
Jud stopped listening to the words spilling out of the dying man's mask. After mentioning there had been four crystals discovered, but two recovered. That was all Jud had needed. Nartaga held the knowledge of the others location, and the one he already owned. The Sith nodded his head. He would take the crystal this time, it was needed. As for the Elder... He was now completely expendable.
Expendable.
The word brought a smile to the Sith's face. "Oh, the irony of it all..." Jud said out loud, completely fixated on the idea of ending this, crushing the Elder in front of his people, and taking what was owed to him. The tension in his muscles tightened, the fiery rage pumped in his veins, just waiting to be loosed. They were close, the Elder was only an arms length away. It would take little effort to close the gap and run the Elder through. Jud smirked. Maybe it would be more fitting to crush the remaining life out of the fool. Jud shrugged, he was done with small talking to a corpse.
"I admire you and your resolve, but I have more than enough information to continue what I started centuries ago... and it's all thanks to you and the boy. I'm glad you survived long enough to help me again. You're truly a good friend." Jud said, bowing to the Elder in a very respectful manner.
"I have your saber in my collection, you know?" Jud said mirthfully, deciding to lash out at the Elder one more time. To bruise whatever ego remained. "I kept it as a reminder of your courage and diligence to the common good." Jud sighed, it was time. With a flick of his left hand, a single ornate saber jumped to it, igniting in a snap-hiss of orange light.
"It's a pity I can't kill you with it... That would have been the ultimate form of flattery from me." Jud brought the blade up to his face, holding it double handed in an executioner's stance. "Are you ready?... Nutho'us."

One hand coming up to adjust the strip of cloth wrapped about his eyeless sockets, Malystrix allowed himself to be guided to a less crowded part of what could only be a training area. 'Simple,' the warrior thought to himself. 'But not primitive.' He felt something akin to admiration rise within himself for these people. They seemed strong, reserved. Hopefully at some point he would be able to test their strength, their spirit, their honor. Drinking in the movements of the entire Enclave through his Force Sight, he sank down into a sitting position, sightless head bowed in Anara's direction.
For a long moment he simply looked at the offered hand, his stern features expressionless. One hand finally shifted forward, calloused fingers gently closing over the woman's as Malystrix bowed his head.

With gritted teeth, Malystrix opened his mind to Anara.
"Very well." the murmured Miralukan words hung in the void that encompassed the two. -Anara- "I want you to try and think about the first time you had the vision. Think of what you saw, before, during, and after. Tell me what you see." *Vollen lowers Her blasters and puts then in there holsters she takes the tailsmen and Ish hand and lets him take her to the person who could help her. Or was this something that was going to happen any way.* -Ish- "Do not fret, my dear. Everything will be okay. The Elder is a very powerful Shaman. He has taught many people. I am sure he will be willing to help."Jud glowered at the man before him. He was so feeble, so weak, yet he continued this futile act of defiance.

"Are you ready?... Nutho'us." -The Elder- "That name died the first time I did! Your mistake is falling for the same farce I bring up to these simple people. I do not show my power like some angry child throwing a tantrum, like you do! You underestimate me once again, Dante."The Elder brought his other hand up several inches, and lifted Jud'dayus several feet off the ground. The rage showed in the Elder's usually calm voice."I have the ability to be far more than the thorn in your side I was all those years ago! You are lucky that we share a connection to Tatooine, or I would kill you where you stand!"The Elder slowly set Jud'dayus back down to the ground and shook his head. He face turned to the horizon, but his eyes looked farther.-The Elder "If you were not so blinded by your quest for power, there was a chance we could have once again been friends...But that possibility disappeared long ago...."The Elder turned back to Jud'dayus.-The Elder- "I am done with my old life. You are simply a ghost sent to remind me of the mistakes I made in that life. Nutho'us Mardenus is dead. He has been dead for a long time...just as Dante Calibar is dead as well. All that remains of them are the ghosts they left behind, ourselves included...The Elder's voice became saddened, and he looked Jud'dayus in his eyes.-The Elder- "There are times when one must simply stop, Jud'dayus....Do what you will to Nartaga. He is a good man, but his folly was trusting you. I must let him learn his mistake the hard way..." |

Anven was just getting up about ready to leave Nartaga's hut to see what all he could find to do around the enclave but then he saw Nartaga come back dragging Regina along with him. At first he was surprised because apparently in his mind he was followed here by two people of course he had no idea if she had come here for some other reason still he found it odd. What else kind of surprised him was Nartaga's reaction after coming into the hut because he had closed the door and leaned on it it seemed to him that Nartaga was under a lot of stress probably because of Jud being around.
Anven nodded towards Nartaga. "Yes I know Regina" Anven was kind of stuck looking between Regina and Nartaga not quick sure why she was here and not sure if he should be offering help to his friend.

The Sith's blade was absorbed, stopped by the clasping palm of his erstwhile friend, but he didn't fret or spout obscenities to the deflected death blow or to the Elder raising him off the ground; immobilizing him slightly in mid-air.
Jud just cracked a smile before laughing maniacally, disengaging his saber before putting his hands up in mock surrender.
"I underestimate you? No, I test you. I'm always putting my Dejarik pieces in their right order." Jud said in his natural voice, while twiddling his thumbs and swinging his feet back and forth; like a child sitting at the edge of a chair, talking to a mad parent. "Now that I know you are exactly the man I left all those years ago, I can make sure that this game continues on it's proper path." Jud continued to grin even at the mention of his true name. "To know one's true name is to hold power over them...So, we are, as we've always been. At a stalemate." He had found balance again, and it kindled a familiar flame. The feeling of admiration for someone that could match wits with him. It had been so long, so tiresomely long since having someone to look forward to killing. "Now can you put me down, or are you going to make a move?"
Jud was returned to the ground, patting his robes and smoothing them down. "Once again, you see things through a very small looking-glass. This quest has been for the truth." Jud's face twisted slightly, his voice hissing back into anger. "And I will do anything to obtain that TRUTH!" The Debase spat, his chest heaving with coiled rage. His hands clenched allowing an audible cracking to be heard, but as soon as his temper flared, it was gone.
It was replaced with the cool ease of the Sith flicking back his long honey-brown hair. Jud nodded his head to the Elder's words. "Very well, Elder... Those people will remain dead and gone, covered by the ever changing dunes of this dead world." Jud's eye glinted. "But, I can never stop... You know that. You were there, you know what was said. I must go on."
Jud bowed and started past the Elder, walking out towards the gates of the enclave, the heavy atmosphere seemed to follow him. As they passed shoulder to shoulder Jud smiled speaking through the force. "Folly is your word. Glory is mine..."
"Until next time, old friend." Said the Old Sith with a 'ta ta' wave of his hand. Before turning his back to the Elder and making his way down the dirt path towards the gates.

Lost in thoughts had she spoke these out loud to no one at all. Having a sinking feeling of something going on with elder, but having enough respect to let him handle what every needed. It still didn't make any better for what was happening to her giving the swagging beast before her one more pet. Giving away to the smell, that having to guess one could get use to after a while. Finding herself inching herself to the huts but more so until she almost ran smack into Nartaga. I hummm hello there, I... can't help but feel uneasy of mix feelings coming from you.. Lowering her head could deside what to sa next or even could be over stepping herself in these matter before hand. After all guest among these people. Not knowing if this one would remember her as after all it was a very short visit. -Nartaga- "Regina? Ah, yes. Uhm. Anven is in my hut. I was about to go...and get him! Yes. I am sure that he will be pleased to see you."Not even waiting, or actually asking where Regina was heading, Nartaga took her by her arm and half-ran, making sure to go a way that went around the Elder and Jud'dayus, back to his hut. He opened the door and closed it behind him, leaning on it, and putting his hand to his forehead. He was almost in a panic at what might happen. He kept having visions of the ground littered with bodies. Whether this vision was from the past or the future, he did not know. A bit unsettled, he tried to talk.-Nartaga- "I am sorry to drag you like that, but I believe that it is best to stay here for a few minutes. Anven, you, of course, know Regina..."*Crystaall smiled at regina and sat up, stretching her arms and walking over to Nartaga and Regina.* "Its a pleasure to see you again Regina. How are you doing?" *Crystaall didn't expect a response but gave a look to Nartaga that questioned where Jud had gone. She didn't trust Jud and had seen his power before, she did not like the thought of that man walking about freely in a place of peace such as this.* |

*Nartaga looked to Anven. He still seemed a bit distracted but he was trying to keep his mind off of the things that had just happened-Nartaga "Yes...I believe that you first brought her here, no? Anven....What do you know of Sith? What are their motives?"The Sith's blade was absorbed, stopped by the clasping palm of his erstwhile friend, but he didn't fret or spout obscenities to the deflected death blow or to the Elder raising him off the ground; immobilizing him slightly in mid-air.

Before turning his back to the Elder and making his way down the dirt path towards the gates. -The Elder- Glory usually only comes to those who seek it. Haven't you done enough?Not expecting to get an answer, the Elder reached towards his staff and the piece of wood flew up for him to catch. All he could do was shake his head. The man always seemed to know exactly what he was doing. The Elder had always attributed the man's near all-knowing ability as bullshit. The Elder highly doubted that Jud'dayus thought the Elder's illness was a ruse. A flash of his childhood, momentary as it, came to the Elder's mind. He was standing on a well lit stage playing an old man, surrounded by other children in costume. The Elder cursed and walked away, trying to beat the images down.*Vollen lets Ish guide her to this elder, she held her rage, and temptations at bay as she was lead from Ish home.

Jud had continued walking, putting the Elder to his back. He heard the man's last fading words, and didn't answer back. Hearing his old comrades voice was starting to grate on him, or maybe it was the truth in the words. Truth? What was it to anyone but him? The Old Sith shrugged off the doubt in his mind and instead focused on Nartaga and the crystal. The boy had a piece of the puzzle, and now was a piece of the greater puzzle himself, or maybe he always had been? "A most sticky situation, indeed." Jud said to himself out loud, just before running into a Tusken. The one he knew as Ish; by the talismans on his garb. He seemed to be escorting one of the women Jud had seen earlier. Ish patted the young woman's hand and guided her out, into the Enclave, passing my an Outsider who sent a chill down the Storyteller's spine. He stopped and turned towards the man, recognizing him. He stepped in between Jud'dayus and Vollen, to protect the woman. He grasped a talisman that was hanging from his neck with his free hand."For one supposedly so evil, you bring far less destruction than your reputation expects of you. I am surprised. It does not make a good story though."

*Vollen had followed ish and had stopped when he had as he spoke to the man she meet at the enterance to the enclave. Strange really as thats when these feelings of rage had start to surface, was it him was he causing this to happen. The anger in her boils again and she grips ish's hand and with out knowing it she was using the force as she grips the tuskens hand. She start to feel alive and lets it out of her, Still gripping ish's hand and aiming a kick to the back of his leg hoping he would fall forward on his knee's so she had a clear view of the sith. Then her soft voice was replace by a bitter and twisted one in staring at the sith..*
"Its you, your doing this to me arnt you! ever since i saw you! What did you do to me?"
*Of cause the sith was not doing anything to her she had just felt his power and darkness and craved to know more about her power. But was this sith knowing and willing to help her or share what he knew. What would be the cost of such a thing. She was still gripping ish but was now not aware she was doing so, so any pain cause to him was not what she was planing as she was just that moment feeling the force again but fueled by the darkside.*

The instant flare of rage for the woman gave Jud pause. He hadn't felt anything like that since his days with Enam, and even then it seemed less tame then his lost learner anger. As the woman took Ish hostage, Jud wondered on what he really had to do with any of this. This woman was obviously insane, there was no doubt to that, but did their meeting serve a purpose. She could be useful, the Sith mused as he took stock of the situation. He could bend her, break her, then remodel her into something quiet stunning. A grin crossed the Sith's face before he smiled.
"I do what I must... girl."
Was all Jud said before lifting his hand, Force pulling Ish from the psychotic woman's grasp and towards himself. The Tusken came to rest softly to Jud's left, still shaking from the experience. Jud turned to him, feeling the Tusken's sickness at such a close proximity, and grimacing at the stench of death that welled from the Tusken's pores. "Seems I only saved you for awhile longer, Ish..." Jud said softly. "I'd advice you to get Nartaga." Jud looked back at the woman. "Things may get ugly..."
Jud released Ish from the pull and let him run along.
"So, little girl... What else would you like from me?"

*As Ish was pulled away from her with easy this only made her more mad and want even more answers. Her eyes narrow as she stared at the sith, she could feel his darkness which only made her feelings of anger and rejection more powerful. She knew deep down that he could kill her with easy, but something told her she was ment to meet this sith. The trappings of power and knowledge surround him. The bitter and twisted voice remained as she spoke back*
"Was it you did you do something to me, Why do i feel this way?"
*She really had no idea what was going on and need a guide, a teacher, but was this sith willing to teach or even give up some of his knowledge.*

Jud laughed at the girl. Did she truly think that he had something to do with her insanity? The thought made the Old Sith laugh harder before returning to his senses.
"I've done nothing yet, but if you continue to stand in my way - little girl - you might find how much I can do to you."
Jud let the sentence hang, seeing if it would sink into the woman's brain. If not, she'd be screaming no longer.
