One

A sleeping Evan woke to a dark room, stretching he sat up. Using the force, he flicked the blinds open from his window. The starry sky of space filled his window. four years, four years of training to become a Jedi. He walked into his bathroom and washed the gunk off his face. He put his robes on and exited his room. As he went up to the bridge of the ship Voyager, he was greeted by his master Jaina Solo. She greeted him with a warm smile.

"How was your sleep?" she asked.

"Better, the dreams have been better" Evan replied. She nodded and put her hand on his shoulder.

"The dreams pass in time, it is always hard the first few years". He yawned and nodded.

"Where are we headed?" he asked. Jaina pointed out the view screen, pointing to a beige world.

"Korriban, the council wants to excavate remaining Sith artifacts. A team is already assembled there under the command of Master Typho". The ship entered the atmosphere and landed into a copper valley. Right away Evan could feel massive Dark Side energies purse through his body. He felt cold, haunted by an unknown presence.

"What is this place?" he asked, his voice no higher then a whisper. Jaina stiffened and breathed.

"The Valley of the Dark Lords, the gravesites of Ancient Sith. The dark side is very strong here, even though no Sith remain. The Only ones left unburied are the half million Sith scattered in the valley below. The Tombs of Sith Lords Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, Darth Nilthius and Darth Bane are here in the valley. Evan clutched his Amulet around his neck, which seemed to be burning like it was on fire. He stopped and looked back at Jaina.

"But what of the Sith Freedon Nadd, wasn't he vastly important to Sadow?" Jaina smiled, not only was Evan a gifted Jedi, but he had spent hours studying over historical events concerning past Jedi wars.

"Nadd was important to Sadow, but he is not buried here. He fled before the Battle of Ruusan started, hiding out of the fourth moon of Dxun, near the Onderron system.

For his betrayel and cowardice he was exiled from the Sith, yet still he remains one". Evan exhaled heavily.

"I think I want this to be over as soon as possible". Jaina and Evan filed out onto the dusty ground. They were met by Master Typho and escorted near the area where the artifacts were buried.

"They should be just here, the mystics are coming to bless each item we uncover" said Typho. Jaina nodded and beckoned Evan to start dusting off the items. They mostly consisted of small coins, and pieces of machinery. Jaina wandered off.

"Some of the artifacts are buried just about here. A Korriban Mystic is coming to bless each item". The two of them dug through the pile of history, coins mostly. As Evan shuffled through the items he found a coin, palm sized that fitted the description of his own amulet.

"Master!" he called. "I think I found something". Jaina and Typho came over to him.

"This Sith coin looks exactly like my amulet". Jaina could not ignore the similarity. Nor could she deny the wave of questions and assumptions that Evan was about to pour out.

"Am I a Sith?" Jaina quickly put her hand on his shoulder.

"No Evan, don't you ever think that" she knelt by him.

"You are a good person, and a most gifted Jedi". Evan frowned and sighed. "Then what is this? Why is it similar?". Jaina put her hand on his.

"We will find out together". Evan smiled then Jaina took his amulet and the coin and put them both into her pocket.

"I will hang on to these, so when we get back to Coruscant we can examine them more thoroughly". Evan nodded and looked back off into the sun.

Soon after, Jaina and him walked back to the ship, then left Korriban behind them. Evan sat in his quarters, looking over the history of Korriban. He propped his hand to his head and read the text on his computer screen.

Korriban-twelfth planet in the system, composed of 7 moons from Iiego to Lumar. Korriban is a desert planet, geographically rocky and mostly a cliff based planet. It holds one of the most closely guarded secrets in the history of the Jedi Order. Not only did great Sith lords ruled here, but evidence suggests that the residents of Korriban were taken control of by a "Dark Side Symbiot" making the Sith dark side affected. This secret was found out very recently by Jedi scientist and Sith historian Pi Ro Lakk, a Selforn from the planet Argonia. Lakk says that if this Symbiot didn't join with the Sith, then the Light vs. Dark wars would never have happened.

Evan was still confused, not only did he not get any useful information about his amulet, but Jaina might know something about it. He decided that he would question her when she woke the following morning.
