Alex did all she could prevent her body from freezing within. Pouring what strength she had left. Doing her best to maintain the crushing pressure on Tempest while barely holding on. Slowly, but surely the Grandmaster faded and began to pass into unconsciousness.

The will to survive was all that separated Tempest and Alex from death. This was where their battle had led them. Alex crushing pressure seeking to crumple the Dark Lord. Turning the leader of the Sith into a broken mass. Tempest sought to do much the same. Shred Alex's body with daggers of ice...

White sparked against ruby red. Their blades locked together...but only for a moment. She felt the Force twist again. The groaning of the Darkside working against the light. Tempest was sent reeling backwards, their blades spinning apart. As the Dark Lord stumbled, Alex worked the Force again...

The Force in balance was the Light. The Darkness the unyielding counterweight seeking to drag the galaxy into bleak destruction. Rarely, did the two meet so dramatically opposed. The Grandmaster and Dark Lord brining their full strength to bare. The very fabric of the Force rippling, twisting...

Her face was bared in grim determination. The lightning from the ground conducted through her body and out her hands. A perfect translation did not exist and so she felt the cells in her body vibrating in exquisite pain. The Grandmaster using Tempests own power against her. She drew continuously...

The smell of charred flesh struck her nostrils. Alex’s control of the wind had never wavered. The Dark Lord doing nothing to combat the gale that hammered at her body. The Grandmaster would not stop the assault, her power strong enough to knock the Dark Lord from her feet. Tare flesh from bone...

The cyan saber skimmed across Tempest. Embers smoldering in the Dark Lord’s side. The very side that would swing the blade down towards Alex. Rather than expectedly flick her cyan saber back around she worked the Force in a different way. Alex felt no anger towards the Sith. No hate. Truly, she...

Alex smiled. Peace settling on her soul. Contentment found only in those with perfect balance. In that moment, found in the Grandmaster as Tempest flitted closer. The lightening crashing down on the Sith’s offhand saber. Alex pulling the bolt continuously from the sky. The saber raised to...

The Force beat steadily in her chest. Each breath in time with the heartbeat of the universe. She saw not only with her eyes but with the very Light itself. An imagine of the world few could comprehend. Alex saw Tempest begin to dash forward, the vibrations of her footfalls thumping into the...

The Dark Lord finally released the barrier around her person, to block her own lightning turned against her. The embers of the still burned beneath her feet, at her back, as she managed to slowly more forward. When the barrier dropped from around Tempest, pushed out to defend the lightning. A...

The Grandmaster remained unmoved. She stood firmly before the Temple doors. Her roots deep into the ground. She had seen Tempests like before, and she would see their like again. Through it all, Alex remained. She calmly watched the saber ignite. Her senses spread wide in the Force. The...

The flames did not dissipate. Creating the inferno was the greatest challenge. Once the fire was stoked, controlling the roaring pillar was a simple task. One she had done hundreds of times. Alex could feel Tempest working the Force and once again struck quickly. Her flick of the wrist to send...

Admiration had no place on the battlefield. The Dark Lord came into view and stopped to stare. Alex chose that moment to strike. Her left hand twitched. The grass beneath Tempest would instantly ignite, the flames suddenly becoming a column of roaring fire. Her only goal to engulf the Dark Lord...

Peace. For a moment that lasted less than a breath, they had found peace. It shattered the moment Corellia was stolen. The second Kashyyyk was under fire...and in the chaos the Darkness reared again. She should have known better. It was simply never meant to last. Her path had bended towards...

The young so often possessed a unique wisdom. One free from the drags that years tended to pile on. Alex had almost forgotten what it felt like to be challenged. Kasia was dead. Hera was too similar...despite her claims to the contrary. Lena and Tedmior had allowed Alex to direct the order...

“You’re young, Leon.” Alex smiled as she set her hands on the table. “Life can feel as if it’s racing past, but you’ll look back some day realize you were exactly where you needed to be.” She found her own advice hard to follow. That did not make it any less true. “And we trust you. There is a...

Perhaps there was time for one more lesson. Alex put her arm around Maura’s shoulder. “There is Light and there is Darkness. That much has always been true…but the galaxy is not a place of black and white.” She let her voice trail off for a moment. “Sometimes, the Force may speak to us and light...

She’d had nightmares before. Faith and balance did not heal all wounds. You had to face those challenges, confront them, and carry on. Her life had not been an easy one…and so she climbed this hill again. There was no denying the forces they had fought beneath the Temple. It would shake even the...

Momentary confusion flashed across Leon’s face. She knew that feeling well from her younger years. The impossible thought that this could all be because of them. Leon was young. He would learn, just as she had. “Modesty is a rare commodity in our galaxy. Even among the Jedi.” Alex took a moment...

Starlight far exceeded her wildest expectations. Alex had read the reports. She’d even seen the scope of it within Leon and Dash’s minds…but to experience the massive floating city provided a vastly different perspective. This was a success beyond her loftiest expectations. A salve after the...
