Prolog Shadows or coruscant
On the republic capital of Coruscant Theron Shan woke up in the middle of the night. He had felt yet another disturbance in the force, it had been the 3rd time that week. Theron yawned and sat up. He saw his Cathar wife Sara asleep next to him. Both Theron and Sara were JedI knights. When Aeron was a child he was orphaned to the green JedI of Correllia. He performed very exceptionally and reached the rank of JedI knight at age 15. When he turned 17 he left the green JedI and joined the main JedI order. He gave up his title as JedI knight and wished to be retrained by the masters of the main order. That was when he met 18 year old Padawan Sara. Over time they slowly fell in love, despite the fact that the order did not always approve of such relations none on the council acted to end their relationship. Theron had never known his parents, if there was one person he considered to be a mother it was Grandmaster Satel Shan.
Even when he was a green JedI Padawan and she was just a Senior JedI knight she had constantly visited him and gave him guidance. Theron had black hair and light blue eyes. He was also very muscular from years of JedI training. He looked down at his Cathar wife, she had brown hair and her fur was a light brown and almost tan around the face. She had pointed ears and small canine teeth. Although cross species relationships were common among the galaxy, a human Cathar relationship wasn't very common. Theron lowered his head and kissed her furry cheek. He then got up and walked over to the balcony.
He looked out and saw the night sky filled with the massive cities buildings and hundreds of moving speeders. Theron had a rare ability even among the Jedi , he had the ability to sense disturbances in the force on a massive scale, he could easily tell when something bad was going to happen and couldn't help thinking about the disturbances he was feeling. Theron was 25 years old and it had been 5 years since the sith emperor was killed by the Hero of Tython. Ever since then the empire had effectively withdrawn from known space. The empire had abandoned Dromund Kass, and the republic army had placed a large base there in case the empire ever returned. The republic and JedI were well aware the empire and the sith still existed in unknown space. Expanding their domain, increasing their numbers. But the republic and JedI would not repeat the same mistakes they did at the end of the great hyperspace war.
They would simply allow the empire to live alone , separated from the rest of the galaxy. "Theron, what are you doing up" Sara said. Theron turned and saw her behind him. "I just needed some fresh air" Theron said. "Then put some pants on your still naked" She said. Theron realized he was. "What about you?" He said, "I have a fur coat" Sara said, "I can still see your stunning features just fine" Theron said. Sara laughed a little then kissed him. "Theron this is the third time this week you've woken up in the middle of the night, something is bothering you" She said. "It's these blasted disturbances in the force I keep feeling, I know the emperor is dead, I don't believe the empire is coming back. I just feel there is still something out there, lurking in the shadows growing stronger. Just waiting to strike" Theron said. "There is no chaos there is harmony" Sara said. "There is no death, only the force" Theron said. He turned back to his wife and kissed her. "Come on back to bed, now that I'm awake I can think of a few things we can do" She said. Theron smiled and followed her back to their bed and laid down next to her. He slowly moved his hands across her fur, her breasts and then her rear end as she pulled him closer and kissed him.
