Anger management

[Jaden_Starchaser]

Jaden didn't notice the blush that was on Ashla's face due to him contemplating her words and the truth behind them. "You're right," he said to her. "He was able to show how easily provoked Unna and I am. How members of the group do not show Ni the respect that she deserves. I am working on fixing those issues in me, but Ashla please believe me when I say that if I wanted Tarkin dead I would have done much worse than strike him down with my blade." He closed his eyes as he was about to reveal something to her that he has hidden from the group besides his brother. "When I was on Olivan I heard the call to the Dark Side. It spoke to me like a mother would to her child. It encouraged me to strike Duke Saar down in anger for him using Duncan as a battering ram and then trying to break Trysta in half over a cannon. It's voice warped until it was malevolent and cruel the more I resisted.

"I felt the darkness swirling around Unna as she used the Force to inflict pain on him so he can drop the toy. It was trying to call to me too. I had to grip my saber to remind myself of my father's words to me. 'A strong man stands for himself. A stronger man stands for others.' He told me that means to use my strength to help others, not for my own gain. If I used my powers and my strength to torture or make him pay to avenge Tod that would be a misuse of them and would dishonor Tod. I can't do that and I most definitely refuse to give Graff, Jenna, or Frija an advantage over me."
