Chapter 7: the secret of the valley (part 1)
Xyron looked at the rusty datapad impatiently.
It should be here, maybe in this canyon.
Xyron bent over towards the steep canyon and smiled in a sigh of relief. The 'valley of the Jedi', one of the most mysterious places in the galaxy, was there. Nearby the valley was a small lake that twinkled in the hot sunlight of the planet. Indeed an amazing sight for every nature lover. Xyron took off his brown cloak and threw it on Sam's head. He took a deep breathe and jumped to the lake, a fall of at least 100 meters. As he fell, Xyron could feel the cold breeze touching his body. He closed his eyes and fell into the lake. Even though it was small, the lake was a lot deeper than it looked, so deep that Xyron couldn't see its bottom.
I cannot allow myself to go deeper, I have a mission.
Xyron stopped his fall and pulled himself out of the lake. He saw four blurry figures standing near a small ship. He rubbed his water covered eyes to get a better look at the figures.
Sith
Xyron tried to reach his lightsaber but he couldn't find it. Suddenly he understood his horrible mistake.
The brown cloak, it was in the brown cloak.
Usually a Jedi carried his lightsaber on his belt, and so did Xyron. But when he fought the F.U.T.S. soldier on new alderaan he accidentally returned his lightsaber to his upper cloak.
I'm probably the worst Jedi in the order's history.
Xyron searched his pockets nervously, trying to find a weapon. He felt a small metallic object in his left pocket, his blaster pistol. He took the blaster out and jumped foreword to confront the sith. The soldiers turned their heads to the Jedi and began shooting at him. Xyron dodged the shots swiftly and returned fire. One of the soldiers fell to the ground unconscious while Xyron rolled behind a rock to hide from the soldier's fire. He closed his eyes.
Concentrate Xyron. Use the force.
Xyron rolled out of his cover and unleashed a powerful lightning at the soldiers. When Xyron opened his eyes he saw the soldiers lying on the grass, dead.
It wasn't the first time Xyron used this strange lightning. The first time he did it was when he was still a padawan. He was in a mission with master Zen on bespin.
"Always remember that the force will help you when you'll need it". Zen said as they entered a small cantina.
"Wait here until I'll return". Zen said and walked towards a bunch of bounty hunters. Xyron looked at his master and noticed that one of the bounty hunters is pulling out a blaster out of his clothes.
"Get down master!" Xyron shouted.
Zen bent down as his apprentice told him and Xyron unleashed a lightning strike at the hunters and knocked them out. Zen wasn't surprised. He was well aware of Xyron's talent and potential.
"I told you the force will help you in difficult times. Remember that". Zen said and stroked Xyron's head.
Xyron felt something touching him. He turned around and aimed his blaster foreword. An old human, dressed in the traditional Jedi robe stood in front of him.
"You will not need this blaster here. I'm Master Yarro. Please come with me, I have much to tell you".
Xyron looked at the rusty datapad impatiently.
