Shadows and Light: The Great Hunt
Prologue
3 Years after the Exar Kun War
The Jedi Temple
Coruscant
Duron Qel Droma stood in the courtyard, awaiting the arrival of Master Vandar.
He walked patiently up the steps to wait at the fountain in the centre of the courtyard to centre himself.
As he stood, he sensed the master approach and turned to greet him. "Master Vandar, it is good to see you," Duron said.
"Good it is to see you, Duron Qel Droma. I trust you know why you were summoned?" Vandar replied.
"You want me to go to Dantooine to get Shaela and Gun Hann, then go to the worlds that the terentatek have been found on."
"Yes, Duron, now go and stop those beasts!" Vandar said as he turned away. Duron walked to the docking bay, and got aboard the LAST FLIGHT, his shuttle and lifted off the ground.
As soon as he entered space, he punched in the hyperspace co-ordinates and pulled back the levers.
As he slept, he could see the horrors brought by Kun.
All around there was shouts of pain.
People stood in fear as Exar Kun walked through the city, destroying more with each step.
Ulic stood off to the side and saw all of this, but did not do anything.
Kun left the city, as the world burned and many died, turning the city world of Duro into a vast, never ending and uninhabitable desert.
It felt like an eternity had passed when the alerts sounded, telling him the reversion to realspace was going to happen soon.
Then, he lazily sat up in his chair, and pushed the levers forward.
Duron sat back and let himself guide the ship gently down to the surface, as the ship arrived over Dantooine.
Jedi Enclave
Dantooine
Shaela stood up and listened to the noise.
It was Duron, she could tell. He had come to begin the mission.
She ran to the docking bay, and found Duron loading supplies onto the LAST FLIGHT.
They embraced, and she said "I've missed you, Duron." "I know Shaela, but I…oh, no! Gun Hann is coming!" Duron said.
They broke their embrace quickly when Gun Hann came marching up to them.
"Shaela. Duron." He said, walking onto the ship, his prized swords with him.
"He's in a cheerful mood." Shaela said as she helped Duron place the Last of the supplies in the cargo hold.
Duron fired up the engines again, as Shaela and Gun Hann settled into the 2 other chairs in the cockpit.
"We need to go to Tython first, then we hit Yavin 4, then Onderon and then we will finally hit Tatooine. Now let's get going!" Gun Hann said, reading a datapad.
"Very well, let's begin," Duron said. He punched in the codes and pulled back the levers for hyperspace, leaving Dantooine and its beauty behind.
He felt that during this trip, he was going to get very sick of hyperspace jumps.
