From the Author
Once again I am required to state the fact that the Star Wars universe, characters, and anything concerning Jedi and the Force are not my ideas. I am merely getting enjoyment out of using the ideas that George Lucas gave to the world.
Couple things I want to point out about Dark Path and any future stories I may do:
I know several things in the story may be "stretching the Force", or at least the guidelines set by Lucas. These instances are merely my imagination taking his ideas and running with them. (not literally)
I also apologize for not giving the real Star Wars characters (Luke, Ben, Tahiri, etc.) the recognition and credit they deserve. As well as not establishing much of a background for some of the newer characters I introduced. (Kam Twoplintor, Din Holnt, Tay Norat'k, etc.) I simply took on too many characters at once without having the experience to elaborate on each of them.
As you probably noticed, however, I did give Salah Jem a little bit of a history. This is because I plan on using her in a future series, and also because she has established ties with another main character (Jyo).
The next series will take place several years in the future, focusing more on just the main character, Dax. And aside from Salah, I would like to try and bring in maybe one or two other supporting characters. So to help me decide I would be most appreciative of any e-mails with the name of the character you might want to see again and possibly a short reason or what you liked about them.
February 24, 2004, is my prospective leave date for the Air Force. Seeing as the Dark Path was completed on January 19, 2004, I do not know when I will be writing again. Until then, "May the Force be with You" and God bless.
P.S. I apologize to my readers for the delay in getting this story published to the site. Between getting chapters 1- 3 up and then the rest of the story I had gotten a new computer. And although I had all the data saved from my old one I just hadn't gotten around to getting the chapters separated and submitted. This is the rest of it and if you liked it, I'm glad. I am in the proccess of working on the final story in the trilogy. I have no idea how long it will take me to complete, but I foresee it being somewhere around twice as long as the first two. And whether or not I publish them chapter by chapter or wait until it's finished is yet to be determined :). Until next time...
