A friend in need (D8 LA)

[Baesal Zyn]

There was a silence as Aphr's feelings echoed inside Baes's Heart "I feel the same way Pinky"

She pauses to breathe

"I owe her much and I wish to see her happy...but the more she gorges on the dark, the less I recognise her"

[Aphr Ahaya]

"What...what are you going to do?" Aphr asked quietly, looking at Baes

[Baesal Zyn]

She looked up, towards nowhere in particular...

"If I rejoin her and the Sith then I fear that I'll just be an enabler...I fear that she will go deeper and I with her..."

She took a succession of deep breath

"I do not know the right path for certain...but I will find it. I will create one it if I don't"

[Aphr Ahaya]

"I don't understand. You were a Sith originally, then left to be a Jedi. Now you're...considering going back?" Aphr frowned a little "do you not believe in the Jedi?"

[Baesal Zyn]

She waved a hand

"No...no, I am not considering going back to the Dark Side. It is, however, something your sister would enjoy. Just like I would like her to turn away from it."

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Can I ask you something?" Aphr tilted her head "why does it matter who is what side?"

[Baesal Zyn]

Baesal frowned and her eyes seemed to focus

''That is a good question'' she says at first

''But I think that the term 'side' is a misnomer...more like a way to imagine things then a reality: I think that there is truthfully no light and dark but simply the Force and the Force is the energy of the universe, life itself and every living thing. While it is the nature of life to grow and expend, it as inherent dangers. Life often feeds on Life in order to survive, like animals with plants and us with them, but this is part of a natural order.''

She scratches her chin

''Force sensitives can tap into it but can only truly master it with their wills and emotions. I think that this is where light and dark comes from. Light is used to describe force uses who are aligned with happiness, joy, love, and benevolence, or alternatively simply calmness, which some believe nurtured the light side and provided insight into its ethical uses. It is generally concerned with the ideas of good, generosity, healing, and wisdom, as opposed to evil, harm, and hasty judgment. While the use of the force for element aligned with selfishness, fear, hatred, aggression, and malice is called Dark.''

She laid back a bit

''Remember what I said about the over-reliance on the Force as being a weakness? Well I think that using the Force changes you as much as you change the world around you when you use it. The Dark Side is the energy of life used to harm life using the deepest and darkes emotion the the mind...if it is kept being used the darksider's body will begin to rot while still alive and the emotions used to channel it will inevitably begin to rule one's consciousness as it is the source of their power and power is never put away easily...especially if it is the core of a doctrine and code.''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"So you worry that eventually, because of the Dark side, that Moyr will change too much and no longer being the person you care about?" Aphr said thoughtfully, finally taking a bite out of the cookie which distracted her a moment - they were really nice!

[Baesal Zyn]

She nodded

''Indeed...I would like to think that there is always a little dark and a little light remaining no matter how far one goes but...bringing someone back from the dark seems incredibly hard."

She began munching on the cooky as well

''I have faith in your sister...but I can't help but feel she is...insecure about herself''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"You came back from the dark" Aphr pointed out "and Moyr seems so strong. If anything, I feel like the self-doubting and insecure one. I've questioned everything I've done, and I don't know where I'm going, or what I'm doing. My future seems a mess."

[Baesal Zyn]

''Ignorance, yet knowledge'' she replies ''Trying to find answers is better then settling in for false ones. Doubt is sometimes an ally.''

She takes another bite

''I came back from the dark because I saw where it could lead me and, thanks to your sister, my heart was'nt as filled with hate anymore. My greatest regret is that I could not do the same for her.''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"I don't think Moyr would like being credited for your path to the Light" Aphr said with a laugh "she would be angry. I..I don't want her to suffer anymore. I feel like she is both suffering and thriving, but I don't know what I could do for her when I can't even focus myself."

Aphr sighed and shook her head.

"Thank you for listening to me, by the way. I must sound like a child or something. Are you sure we're the same age?"

[Baesal Zyn]

''She is aware, I think'' she replies

''And yes, we are...we just happended to have diffentent lives. Is thare anything else?''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr had a small frown, but shook her head. "Ah...nothing else. I'm sorry for taking up your time" she lowered her head.

[Baesal Zyn]

Baes booped the young twilek's head

"Nothing to be sorry about dear, I am glad to lend a ear to a friend"

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Thank you" Aphr gave Baes another hug "can I take one of these cookies with me? They're so nice."

[Baesal Zyn]

She grinned wide and winked

''Sure, I'll make an exception for you''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr giggled, claiming the cookie and standing. "Thank you for listening, it's been really helpful I think. I feel a little less...upset, I guess."

[Baesal Zyn]

She arched an eyebrow

"I am glad, I guess" she replied with a grin

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr sighed. "Sorry, it'll take me a while to forgive myself for what happened" she reached over and gave Baesels hand a gentle squeeze "but you really did help. I promise."
