"Pureblood… Sith." The moment the second word was spoken, there were a few gasps and a few of the Masters simply showed confusion.
"How is that possible? Do you have proof? Actual evidence?" Plo Koon spoke through the cybernetic mask on his face, sounding somewhat distorted.
"What is a 'Pureblood Sith'? I thought the Sith were a religion that was wiped out a long time ago?" Mundi spoke again, though his sentiments were actually shared by a few other Masters around the room.
"Deus… Asmodeus isn't really a 'Sith'. At least not religiously." Daesha couldn't help speaking out for the first time since she entered the room, then immediately regretted it when she saw those judgemental eyes again.
Fortunately her Master explained quickly, "This is a story from so long ago that many records have been lost already. Even thousands of years ago, the Pureblood Sith were declining due to various wars, infighting and interspecies breeding. Even what was considered a 'Pureblood Sith' was merely a hybrid race between the original Sith Species and the human Dark Jedi who conquered them. Their most notable features are red skin and a high compatibility with… The Dark Side of the Force."
"Then… What happened to them?" Depa Billaba spoke again. As a human with a fairly short lifespan, it wasn't too surprising that she didn't know.
"Genocide." Yaddle was the one to speak. Although she was 'only' half Yoda's age, she was definitely old enough to know a lot of secrets.
"However, that was nearly five thousand years ago. The Pureblood Sith weren't completely wiped out. They returned eventually. Then disappeared once more. Likely as Kikha said, interspecies breeding. Unless… Even I am unsure whether the Jedi or Republic of the distant past decided to speed up their extinction. I'm not 'that' old."
"Neither am I, hmmmhmm~!" Yoda added from across the room, "Guided you to this boy, the Force has."
"Yes, Master Yoda. I believe so as well." Kikha smiled gently, "Although he did try to hide it, I noticed his peculiarities at first glance…"
When she thought of their first meeting, she almost laughed.
"Asmodeus had a very ancient lightsaber on his… Person. Hmm, well, the lightsaber is at least four thousand years old. It used to belong to a Sith Sorceress who lived during the Old Republic Era. She used the Sarlacc in the Great Pit of Carkoon to prolong her life, but was eventually devoured after her death. Passing down some knowledge and memories to the Sarlacc, which was then passed to the boy."
"He was eaten by a Sarlacc?" Mundi was surprised again, but so were most of the Jedi. Even Yoda was impressed.
"Yes… Asmodeus was eaten by that Sarlacc. He… Formed a 'bond' with the creature over the course of several months."
"He had sexual relations with the Sarlacc." Mace Windu said with a straight face.
"Is that legal?" Yarael Poof asked. He was the extremely long-necked, white skinned Quermian between the Zabrak man and the Thothian woman.
"Regardless of whether it's legal or not in the Republic, we have no authority over Hutt Space." Adi Gallia spoke calmly, "Even from a moral standpoint, we have no right to judge the child's actions."
"Asmodeus believes that 'Sarry' is completely Sentient and judging by the way he described her thoughts and actions, I believe she is also Force Sensitive. Perhaps all mature Sarlaccs might be Force Sensitive."
"Perhaps. However, this meeting isn't about the viability of Sarlaccs joining the Jedi Order or the morality and legality of Sarlacc-Humanoid relations. Please continue with the report, Kikha."
"Yes, Master Windu." She smiled wryly and continued the report.
