Sheik went for a swing, but Aeris used her force powers to pin him against the wall, and explained everything to him. "It's true," Dren added. "We unleashed something deep below the temple. He was feeding off of our energy. When we use the force, he get's stronger. So the more we fight, the more power he gets."<br/><br/>As Aeris dropped Sheik, he landed on his knees. He looked up at Dren, studying him. He sighed. His anger dissipating. It seemed he understood--like he had seen something. "There was a mist," he explained. I didn't know what it was. I escaped, but no one else did. First it hit Lotheal. She fought it, but it tore her apart. Then it hit Renth--he was also disintegrated. But Teli and Asha, perhaps because they aren't as trained--they succumbed to the mist. Their eyes--it's like looking into shadows. They attacked me. It's hard to know who to trust."<br/><br/>As the Sith spoke, Dren turned to find Aeris fallen, and in Jax's arms. Dren clenched his lightsaber tightly. He breathed out a few times, trying to calm himself. Though he got instantly weary. Dren knew she was a Grey Jedi, but he was a Sith. It was also highly suspect that he showed up out of nowhere. Was he on the side of Darth Devorer? Was he going to kill Dren or Sheik at any moment he had the chance?<br/><br/>"I apologize for attacking you Jedi Dren," Sheik told him, "But those two right now are Sith, and we need to dispose of them."<br/><br/>"It's Aeris, she used to be one of us," Dren pleaded.<br/><br/>"She used to be, now she's on the wrong side." Sheik walked over with his lightsaber still ignited. "The Sith want power, and that makes them dangerous."<br/><br/>Dren wanted to explain she was a Grey Jedi, but wasn't sure it would sit well with her comrads. He didn't trust Jax anyways, with the way he saved her suddenly. No, something was wrong about the whole situation. Sith craved power, and strength. They weren't about to do the galaxy any favors. Dren gritted his teeth, and pointed his lightsaber at Jax, and chose his words carefully, "Who's side are you on, Sith? Are you with Darth Devorer? Or are you with us?"
