After the General's image disappeared, a deep silence filled the room, broken only by the voice echoing in my mind.
'Aiden... are you sure you want to do this?'
I looked at the tiny figure of Sith floating in front of me, then sighed.
'I'm not, Sith, I'm not. Sending someone to their death for my cause is not something I would do if I had no choice. But... this war has gone on too long, and if we don't end it soon, there will be many more casualties. So... I have to do it.'
Sith looked at me worriedly and I smiled slightly.
'Let's do what we have to do for now, we will regret it later. We have already started down this path.'
I leaned over the table, opened a holographic window in front of me, and turned it into a blank page where I could draw.
'Let me draw this rune first. I'll probably spend all night on it, so the sooner I start the better.'
Sith floated over and sat on my shoulder.
