Unfortunately, while they were there, her master had to be called back, to deal with a more important issue. In doing this he left the padawan on Alderaan alone. She began to feel forgotten and frustrated with the Jedi on their lack of vision. After going on a stroll one day, she would accidentally walk into Empire territory. Here she would bump into Princess Aashia and Lord Chroft, where she acted as the aggressor to the sith. The sith used their words wisely and toyed with her, pulling at her and slowly irritating her further. In doing this, it causes Aoiphe to lash out at the Sith. Sensing he had won over her mind, Lord Chroft would engage in a duel with her, where he kicked her saber out of his hand, force pushed her back then knocked Aoiphe out with the butt of his saber. Lord Chroft would notify Darth Drastus if the events that occurred and explained the mission had to be placed on hold. The Darth understood and instructed the Sith to place Aoiphe in a cell until she could be tormented further. After continuous, strenuous talking, the Sith managed to convince her that her master left her for dead and the Jedi didn't value someone like her of her

    Jung's theory also says that often the hero becomes the sacrificial scapegoat for his people or country. The sacrificial scapegoat is defined as a hero who must die for the well being of his country, people, or for the sins of his people in order to save the land (Guerin 163). In addition Jung says that the death of the hero as a sacrificial scapegoat can often be attributed to the hero's hubris, or excessive pride in themselves and their accomplishments (Guerin 168). Oedipus is an archetypal hero because he follows the quest, and is later the sacrificial scapegoat. His quest is when he leaves his parents, who have raised him, Dorian Merope and Polybus, out of fear of the oracle.…
