The Exolos desert was unfriendly to aliens. Suffice it to say that this continent, covered by endless desert, was a place where all scum and villains could rest peacefully from the pursuing hand of justice.
However, here it was possible to escape from Ravenna and her forces, which were relentless in their search for the enemies of the new order. Ten years have passed since the day Tabor fell, and then, like domino cubes, other kingdoms followed. The evil queen conquered with her power almost 3/4 of the visible world. Great countries, which for years were famous as ornaments of human civilisation were crushed by locust armies of orcs, raveners and people, who decided to serve the new empress.
On Exolos, Rheus Matir roamed the desert alone on a bantha. He ran some errands in the city centre, and it was a long way to where he lived with his apprentice. An apprentice who amazed him with his skills.
Robert, or rather Aegon Paul Tatrides was a question mark. The blood of Ravenna and his father King Jared was extremely strong, and the boy was proficient in the Force. His age was out of keeping with his appearance, as the ancient blood of the gods from his mother's line extended his youth. The boy looked 16 years old in reality he was about 30.
Rheus never wanted to be a teacher. As a disciple of Jacen he was not very humble, he had a lot of pride in him. Perhaps this was also the reason why he lost his friend and only student so far, Cade Starkiller. Not a day went by that he didn't think about Cade. When he looked at Daniel, his son, whom his uncle had his eye on on Exolos, he saw that resoluteness that turned into hatred and the dark side that Lord Vorgath had.
His contemplation was suddenly interrupted by a shiver down his spine, which slowly ran through his entire body. He stopped the bantha, and looked out over the desert where the sun was setting.
"-Rheus"
A voice somewhere inside called back to him. He waited a very long time for a sign from his master, who found solace in the Force. Years passed when he finally grasped the Force fully and was able to teach Robert something.
-Jacen?- he asked uncertainly- Master, can you hear me?
- The time has come", said the voice of his old master. Rheus nodded his head. He knew perfectly well what it was about. He pointed Bantha in the direction of the Robber Dunes where he had a certain item hidden. He had waited ten years, but at last it might come in handy.
