"You would have to do far worse than that if you wished to offend me," Arha said, her voice warm again. "I wished you to know this thing so that you could see the difference between what the Bene Gesserit were and what I am. I am a heretic and outcast and I am a Jed-Eye. I have found a measure of peace in this, Kyle Katarn, and I have found a center that I have lacked all my own life."
She reached out to place a hand on his shoulder.
"Our pasts make up stronger for surviving them and they make us who we are. Never should you be sorry for them, but always learn their lessons. I know loss and I know the strain of being alone." Her smile lit her face. "I also know that anger serves nothing and only furthers pain. I have let go of this thing, though if I return, it will kill me a certain as any set thing. I do not even know if I can go home myself at this point as I am touched by the Force. Perhaps my whole future is now changed. Such things I do not know and I am content in this, as well. I am where I am needed."
Her fingers fell away.
"And the past is the past just as the future has yet to come."
