Abigail Marie: You wouldn't know who Ylenic is, because I don't think he appears in any of the movies. I will have to tell you when I talk to you, cause its kinda long, and it will take some explaining for you to understand who he is.

REMINDER: The things between asterisks are supposed to be in italics.

The Growing Darkness

*Ylenic listened to the water all around him, letting the calm permeate his every being. He loved meditating in the Temple Gardens. It was the ultimate place of peace and tranquility.*

*Coming here, to this place of safety, was the only thing that allowed Ylenic to survive the life he led. Without his meditations, he would be torn apart from the inside out.*

*Ylenic let himself go to the Force, feeling it rejuvenate him. However, something felt terribly wrong. Ylenic reached out, trying to find out what was wrong.*

*Ylenic broke his meditation abruptly. He had felt the presence of something completely evil within the garden. He would have to alert the Council.*

*However, as Ylenic looked around, he realized there was no longer a Council to report to. In fact, there was no longer a temple. Instead of sitting in the Temple Gardens, Ylenic was now standing on a pile of rubble that had once been the Temple. The only people left were himself, and Nejaa.*

*"Nejaa! How did we survive?!" Ylenic asked.*

*"Shh," Nejaa replied. "Look up."*

*Perplexed, Ylenic looked up. And when he did, his jaw dropped from what he saw.*

*Filling the entire Coruscant sky was an enormous, black sun. And from that sun, floated down a dark figure.*

*As the figure touched down, he charged at Ylenic. Ylenic reached for his lightsaber, only to find it in the hands of the dark figure. The dark figure swung, and Ylenic dodged, but Ylenic could tell that the dark figure was a better swordsman than he.*

*The dark figure came in with a flurry of furious blows, knocking Ylenic to the ground. The dark figure stepped over Ylenic, preparing for the killing blow. Ylenic wanted to roll out of the way of the deadly blow, but his body and mind would not respond. Then, just as the blue saber would have connected with Ylenic's chest, a silver blade flew through the air, intercepting the blue one. Nejaa ran up, grabbed his blade, and began a furious assault on the dark figure. However, the dark figure's strong technique quickly put Nejaa back on the defense.*

*The dark figure feinted, and then brought his saber around, sending Nejaa's saber flying. Then, before Nejaa could react, the dark figure stabbed Nejaa through the chest.*

*The last thing Ylenic remembered was the black sun expanding, swallowing all of Coruscant.*

"What does it mean?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I do not know, my friend," Ylenic replied.

Suddenly, something slammed against the door to the room.

"Open up! You three are under arrest for treason!" a male voice yelled.

"We've been had!" Obi-Wan exclaimed.
