Time: 13 years before the events of "Knights of the Old Republic"
"Lynia'ulorn, the council congradulates you on becoming a Jedi Knight."
"Thank you."
"As a Knight your first mission is to investigate the disappearance of another Jedi. Salen Rinhold should have made contact three days ago."
"Where was he last seen?"
"His last communication was a short distance from an uncolonized planet called Myrkr. We suggest you start there."
"I'll leave immediately."
Location: Myrkr
Time: The next day
Lynia's small fighter zoomed to the planet's surface. She steered the ship closer toward a cloud of smoke. As she came within view of the fire, she noticed that it was unmanned. She landed and walked over to the it.
'Definately man made.' She thought as she inspected it. She turned around and saw three of the beasts glaring hungrily at her. She pulled her lightsaber off her belt and ignited it.
"I do not have time for this."
The center beast leapt at her, claws outstretched. She pushed it pack with a wave of her hand. As it flew back, the other two attacked. The one to the left swiped at her, tearing through her tender flesh. She screamed as she felt the planet's air enter the cut. She sliced into the flank of the right one. The three beasts crept closer, pushing her back. She threw her lightsaber at the left one, then used force wave to push the other two back.
Lynia was backed against her ship, her left arm holding her stomach. Two of the beasts stood ready to attack. One lay dead at her feet, a lightsaber shoved down it's throat. Suddenly one lunged at her. As it neared it's prey, a lightsaber sliced it's head off. Lynia looked to her left to see Salen standing there. He pulled out a vibroblade and attacked the last one. The beast howled with rage as the blade stuck in it's hide. Salen struggled to pull the blade from the creature, but to no avail. He jumped back as it snapped it's jaws shut.
"Need some help?" Lynia asked while bringing his lightsaber down into the creature.
"Thanks." He replied as he pulled his vibroblade from it.
She handed his lightsaber back to him. As he put it on his belt, she collapsed.
"Are you all right?" He asked as he rolled her over.
Her arm fell away from her stomach to reveal a bleeding gash.
"You'll be alright." He reassured her as he put his hands over the wound.
His hands glowed with a familiar white light as the bleeding stopped.
"There, that should help."
He helped her to the ship, where she switched on the radio with great effort.
"Lynia'ulorn reporting... I've found... Salen Rinhold."
"Are the two of you alright?" The radio crackled.
"I'm alive." Salen told them, taking over the conversation, "She's been wounded... She'll live."
"We are glad you are both safe."
"We'll be leaving shortly."
