Chapter 8: the secret of the valley (part 2)
The old Jedi master led Xyron through the ancient structure to the core of the valley- the strange force stream in the middle of the valley, a huge source of power. Xyron could feel the worm touch of the force as they crossed the core of the valley. He looked at the ruins and pondered. What is the nature of this place? What is it supposed to be?
"Nobody knows what this place is supposed to be". Said master Yarro as if he could read Xyron's mind. "Some of us believe that it was a city of Jedi knights, the cultural and spiritual center of the order. Others say that it was a fortress the order used in difficult times, and another part of us claims that it is a weapon the Jedi used to demolish the sith".
Xyron looked more serious then usual. "My master sent me here before he was murdered. He said I can find hope here".
"Yes". Yarro sighed. "I'm sorry for your master's death. I knew master Youn very well. he was a good man and an excellent Jedi".
Xyron raised an eyebrow. He spelled my master's name wrong. It's Yuon, not Youn.
"Is something on your mind, young Jedi?" Yarro asked.
Xyron sighed. "Nothing"
"Well let's continue".
Sam pulled the brown cloak off his face.
Damn Jedi!
He felt an object in the cloak's pocket. He pulled it out quickly.
A lightsaber! What a foolish little boy, he forgot his weapon in his cloak!
He saw a dark figure walking towards him. The figure moved slowly and calmly. The cloaked figure got closer to him and Sam could see all his face, except for his eyes that was covered by the cloak. It was a Human face.
"Who are you?" Sam asked anxiously.
"I was sent by lord Mutar. I'm here to-". The figure said in a strange voice.
Sam giggled. "I've seen enough of Mutar's servants and you don't look like one of them".
"I'm here to offer you a deal Mr. Stardust". The figure continued with no reaction to Sam's comment.
"What deal?" asked Sam.
"You must do exactly what I tell you and in exchange you will get enough money for your whole life".
Sam giggle became a loud laughter. "I'm not interested in money pal. I'm interested in glory. I want people to remember me".
"And what is greater then the glory and honor you will get for killing the last Jedi in the galaxy? If you'll cooperate with me you will be remembered forever".
"What do I need to do?" Sam asked.
