The Sith’s Hard Time Sentence

[17JosephLC]

“His name is Ralis, not “it” Master Serrat,” Isabella reminded him, surprising herself a little at how defensive of the Cathar she was being.

Master Thalia’s wisdom had at least half of the council nodding along, with others looking undecided and one or two trying to support Master Serrat.

“I will take him under my wing,” Isabella volunteered. She then continued, “as for your points, Master Serrat: no Penny has escaped the Jedi Temple in 300 years, I highly doubt one Cathar boy could; furthermore, it is known that the influence of other younglings has helped Darksider pennies with similar philosophies to see the Light, even if they were not true Sith.”

Serrat looked at the other masters. "It seems I have been overruled. Very well, but I want a report from you on the Sith's progress or lack there of every week."

[17JosephLC]

“Yes, Master Serrat,” Isabella bowed her head before the Master.

The matter closed, they were allowed to leave. “Well, I won’t be going on missions for awhile again,” Isabella mused. “I’m going to be a Penny Mama. Any advice for a friend, you two?” She asked of her companions.

"You may want to go speak with Ralis about what has been decided. O doubt he knows anything about rejuvenation." Gavin suggested.

"I'll see about getting some clothes that his tail will fit through." Chessika added.

[17JosephLC]

“That’s a good idea,” she nodded, and thanked Chessika. It shouldn’t have been hard. Ralis was not the only Cathar Force-sensitive. Or the only species with tails for that matter.

Soon coming to his cell, she entered, looking neutrally at her soon-to-be-son. “Hello, Ralis. Are you well? Don’t worry, you’ll soon be out of this cell. Tell me, have you been active in this time long enough to learn about rejuvination?”

[Hrtofdrkns]

The Cathar looked at her with contempt. "I assume it is a form of execution? Do not expect me to repent before I die. I only regret not killing you when I had the chance."

[17JosephLC]

Isabella chuckled. “No, it’s not a form of execution, silly Sith. Were you always so dramatic? Anyway, it’s actually a piece of technology left behind by an unknown civilization that can turn back the hands of time. It can make someone a child again.”

The woman allowed the Light Side to flow through her as she spoke. Whilst Ralis would not be able to use the Dark Side, he could still feel things through the Force, so he should be able to sense that she was being honest.

[Hrtofdrkns]

"What?" He demanded, stand up. "You're lying! That's impossible!"

[17JosephLC]

“I’m not. You’ll see yourself soon. I bet you’re going to he a very cute little boy,” Isabella told him, giving him a motherly smile.

[Hrtofdrkns]

"No no no! You can't do this!" He pleaded. "I won't let you hurt me again!" He seemed close to breaking down. For some reason the thought of being a child again terrified him.
