Selaenia removed the cloak completely from her shoulders and stood up, towering over the woman as she sat on the cold metallic floor with her back to the wall
like a scared child. She was a disappointment, Selaenia thought to herself; she would never be powerful enough to harness her energy and utilize her anger and
hatred to her advantage. Instead, she showed a uniquely Jedi characteristic.... Emotion. And emotion was the tool that had lead to there destruction.
Emotion was a weakness that needed to be controlled and stored away deep inside of you, never to be heard from again. Still, Selaenia remembered what emotion
felt like, and the cold sensation of hatred overshadowed it only moments after it had returned to her memory. She hated herself for doing what she was doing,
but the growing darkness within her overshadowed any good that remained and forced it into retreat.
She observed the woman for a moment, pondering the situation and listening to her thoughts. Strangely, Selaenia had no idea how she was able to feel what the woman was feeling or know what she knew, it just seemed to appear in the back of her mind just as the dark and ominous voice that had taken control of her so quickly had almost a year ago after her trip to Korriban. She wasn't entirely sure what it was, but she knew it was evil. And the dark sensation that coursed through her veins filled her with an unusual sence of power and of freedom that she had not felt in years. It was a dark feeling, but a feeling of pure self control and dominance. She only wished that she could make someone as vulnerable as this poor creature sitting trembling before her feel.
"Come," Selaenia gestured to a small Dejarik table in the back of the ship. "Sit with me...."
Taking a seat on one side of the table, Selaenia powered on the game as the shapes of ominous monsters from throughout the galaxy appeared holographicly displayed in small checkered squares throughout the circular board.
"Should you defeat me in a game od Dejarik, I will grant your freedom." Selaenia smiled, anxiously awaiting the woman's suprised look. She was confident, however, that she would defeat her with relative ease. Years of playing the game had made it easier to identify critical strategies, and over the years she had developed a strategic offense and defense in response to each strategy used. However, the dark voice inside of her and the strange feelings that radiated from living beings had made the game boring as of late.... What fun was playing a game if you already knew what the other person was going to do?
