Roun yin was a young Jedi under the tutelage of his master. He was a
promising student and was extremely loyal to the Jedi code. He had all this
to owe to his master, Pamal. Pamal Nern was a Zabrak with fearsome
features, but despite her look she was a diligent, and valuable Jedi. When
Roun had arrived at the temple she had chosen him as an apprentice because
of his amazing skill with a lightsabre. Roun could just about fend off
anyone who threatened him, even Pamal had trouble sometimes.
This particular evening, the two had been called before the council to
tackle a quite serious issue. As they both walked down the corridor towards
the council chambers, Roun decided he just had to ask.
"Master, what are we being called here for? It must be serious if it's at
this short notice."
"Do not worry Roun, I'm sure it's not that serious, probably just another
riot or two."
Pamal was always calm, it was in her nature. Although she suspected this
was a little more severe than a couple of riots, she was not about to alarm
her pupil.
The chrome doors slid open revealing the tranquil circular room that housed
the jedi council. Their sage like eyes followed the pair as they walked to
the centre of the room, but with a warm welcoming smile, like an estranged
relative welcoming a loved one.
"Ah, Master Nern, and young Roun, thank you for coming on such short
notice. We would have asked earlier but we had other pressing issues to
deal with," Saesee Tiin beckoned them into the centre of the room. The two
stood silently in the middle of the room, and listened intently to what the
council had to say.
"There had been reports of a suspicious figure in the back streets of
Coruscant. As you will know there are lots of suspicious people in
Coruscant and so we took no notice. However, and I don't know if you felt
it too, there was a ripple of dark energy in the force around 10 minutes
ago. A few moments later we got word that a Sith was on the planet and had
killed a local shopkeeper. We have not had any other information about this
incident, so we would like you to go down to the streets and find him, we
are quite sure he has not left the planet"
Roun started to wonder, "If he killed someone why haven't the local police
tried to find him?"
"He disappeared after he did it and nobody knows where he's gone. Coruscant
is a big place, it would be pointless to send out a small police unit after
a single person, and even if they did find him they probably wouldn't stand
a chance against a Sith." Ki-Adi Mundi answered the young jedi's question.
"We understand Masters, we will be in touch." Pamal gestured to Roun to
follow her as she left.
"Roun, try not to question the council so much, they know what they're
doing."
"Yes master," Roun replied, "But what will we do should we find this sith?"
Pamal smiled, "I haven't decided yet, but something will come along."
As the two strode down the long corridor they had no idea what the
following few days would hold in store for them. All they knew is that they
had a task to perform, not unlike a certain other two people.
Roun took care to take in his surroundings. He was a bright child of 14 and
was well respected throughout the temple. The temple was a very interesting
place for someone like Roun, sometimes even for someone like Pamal.
A few moments after leaving the council chamber, Pamal and Roun stood
outside the entrance to the temple formulating a plan.
"How would you like to do a little independent reconnaissance?" Pamal asked
Roun, "I'll search the clubs and bars where all the lowlifes are, you can
look around the streets, how does that sound?" Pamal always seemed to have
difficulty giving orders, so most of the time they came out in the form of
a question.
"Very well master," Roun replied, "May the force be with you." Roun strode
off into he crowds. Pamal studied her surroundings, then set off at a slow
walk towards a dingy looking bar that smelt rather strongly of something
unmentionable.
