Ruhmer stood by his shuttle. The sun was just daring to peep over the
horizon, as if scared at what it may see. The fresh morning air was
unfitting for such a dark and evil place, where pure talent was matured
into a dark hate and anger. It was quiet, as it normally was at this time
of the morning, the first early risers would be awake soon. But Ruhmer had
been here all night, listening to the sounds of the night; rustles, howls,
snaps. He did not often do this, but today he would depart on a mission and
unlike other tasks set before him, he had a feeling something bad would
happen. Ruhmer was not one to question what he was asked of, but right now
he felt so strongly he longed to decline his mission. He harnessed the
force and tried to peep into the future, but each time he tried it came
back to one thing, Doma.
It didn't come as much of a surprise to Ruhmer, he often blamed Doma for
everything, and on several missions Doma would have done something wrong.
But Ruhmer had never felt anything like this before. He decided he had
better be on his guard at all times, especially while Doma was present.
He sighed and turned to see a hurriedly dressed Doma racing towards him, he
had obviously overslept. Ruhmer stared him down as Doma stood panting in
front of him. He readied himself to let rip an enormous roar, but something
told him not to. It was strange, Ruhmer wanted to let Doma know how late he
was, how scruffy he looked, and generally let off some steam, yet he turned
and got into the shuttle followed by Doma.
The journey was a quiet one, but Ruhmers thoughts kept dwelling on his
sudden change of heart. Ruhmer was not one to go back on his initial
decision, and to be honest he didn't know why he had kept quiet in the
first place. He looked at Doma sat opposite him. He was reading something,
it looked like the mission brief. Ruhmer swiftly revealed a hand from his
long cloak, snatched the paper and let it float down in front of him, and
withdrew his hand. Ruhmer read the sheet quickly, ignoring the look of
blatant surprise on Domas face. Since the loss of the rancors at the temple
the masters were short on training beasts, so Ruhmer and his apprentice had
been ordered to secure some other means of training. But nothing was
specified, no breed, no planet, not even a particular type of beast. Ruhmer
was puzzled, this would mean he would have to find a beast on his own.
"Master? Is something the matter?" Doma broke the silence.
"Quiet, I'm thinking of something, someone of such small intellect like you
would only hinder me." Ruhmer was easily agitated, but the other masters
had never set him an assignment like this and he was a little rusty on
"what lives where".
"Master, I've read the assignment, we could just try a dealer on Tatooine
or somewhere." Doma had a good point, it would be simpler and faster than
searching.
"They would be tame! We need wild, dangerous animals, but where to get
them.that is puzzling." Ruhmers thoughts jumped across the galaxy, from
Tatooine, to Hoth, Blenjeel, the dealers on Coruscant.
He decided he would visit them one by one. Maybe it would be faster to
split up and send Doma somewhere else, but would it be safe? after all,
Doma was at a dangerous stage.
"Doma," Ruhmer called on his apprentice, "I'm sending you to Hoth, you will
look for what we need there, and report to me if you find anything. I will
go to Coruscant and try to find out where the most dangerous beasts dwell."
Doma looked a little worried, but nodded nonetheless. Ruhmer headed to tell
the pilot of the destinations, leaving Doma to sit and wonder as to what he
would do next.
