Mother of Pearl
Voss had been home for a long time. The Sanctum had been good to her. Encouraging, uplifting even. Yet she’d turned her back on them, preferring to spend her time in Sith beds and doing little to help others. It was easier than she’d realized, to be seduced in a number of ways by the dark side. It certainly had its draws, and she would not deny that. Her descent had begun as a Padawan—despite her best efforts, Joza had given in to her more racially-fueled desires and frolicked in a ritual pool within a Voss temple, accompanied by an irresistible priestess who would later turn out to be a Sith Inquisitor.
From then on, it was as if the floodgates had opened, her own hedonistic tendencies wearing down the dam of willpower that stood in its way. She’d lashed out at those who tried to help her, going so far as to even try and take lives. The dark side had its hold on her, but she was beginning to tire of it. It was too confusing, too conflicting. While she did not seek power, she found that it left her horribly unfulfilled.
Enough was enough. Was she ready to push back against the rushing waters of the dark side that threatened to drown her? Probably not, but she was afraid of being submerged and losing everything she had. The Silvers had stormed Balmorra and secured her route to freedom, the aftermath of which became messy, but she’d escaped nonetheless. Perhaps if they were merciful, they could help in her rehabilitation—or blight her from existence.
The sun had just dipped beyond the horizon, giving way to an absolutely gorgeous sunset. It was enough to give Joza pause as she stopped in her tracks, lowering the hood from her head to take it in. She’d touched down on Voss moments ago, swathed in billowing black robes. No Sith insignia though—it was moreso aimed to be conservative and concealing rather than intimidating.
The Zeltron took the time to inhale deeply, swelling her lungs with the tranquility that Voss was known for. Its soothing effect worked even now, though there was a prickle of unfamiliarity in her chest. Did she even belong here anymore? She felt as if she were the enemy, and had half a mind to turn around and leave the planet. No. You can do this. Joza continued forward, heading towards the temple with carefully placed, anxious steps.
