   The Powers of the Dark Side   
   'The force drives Lucian offworld,' said Scar Palpatine.   
   Darth Verlak smiled. 'She is young, and naïve.  She knows not her own powers   
   yet.'   
   'We can corrupt her,' said Scar.  'They always like to fall.  It is their   
   coming of age. Time and time again when we bother to push our agenda, they   
   succumb so easily.  They have no Jedi spirit like those from the ancient   
   times.  Offer them the galaxy,    
   and their eyes light up.  Lucian is no different.  She will accept our terms.'   
   Scar Palpatine picked up the Orb Centralis.  'I sense she is ready for a   
   fight.  Already she believes she will be accepted as Padawan, and she knows   
   her age to be too old.'   
   'Some before her were too old, yet were admitted,' said Verlak.   
   'Vader was exceptional,' said Scar.  'My father knew it when he saw him in   
   action.  The Jedi council simply would not turn him down in the end.  Yoda   
   knew it unwise, but the promise was too much to forsake.  And they will say   
   the same of Lucian's    
   daughter.  This child of the force will be too much for them to resist.  They   
   will not turn her away.'   
   'She flies with Skywalker,' said Verlak. 'I sense it.  I can see it I am sure.'   
   'Your farsight is always cloudy, brother,' said Scar.  'But you speak true.    
   Rey has befriended her, and they seek the council emerging of Jedi Warriors,   
   to entertain the notion that this young talent will be Rey's Padawan.  She   
   virtually rules their    
   council now, and the other new Jedi will not decline her wishes.  They have no   
   prudence as they once had.  But I know they suffered heavily, and tradition is   
   gone in many ways.  They are reborn, and must learn again.  And that is their   
   weakness, and what    
   we can make their undoing.'   
   'Yet they live time and time again,' said Verlak.  'Because the force refuses   
   to change its way.  It admits and revels in its darkness, yet always clings to   
   the light.  It is of a dual nature it never denies.  And it will always bring   
   Sith to Jedi and    
   Jedi to Sith.  It is the way of the force.'   
   'And so we shall gather this young chick, and bring her to the dark, and she   
   will be our new pawn of prophecy for the dark side,' said Scar.   
   'As you say,' replied Darth Verlak.
