Chapter rewrite. As you've noticed my writing can get pretty dark. I was actually partially reading another fanfiction while writing this.

Just so you know. And I have a tendency to swearing so you were warned.

Typical disclaimer. I own nothing.

Chapter two- What lies below II

Entering the cavern below was a tricky thing but not impossible Yaddle and Yoda alongside fifteen others would join the expedition of a sort. Something was wrong and Yavanna froze before she got any further as she was seeing her mother being taken over violently, the black liquid rising and entering through her eyes and mouth. Flowing like water and smoke as it does so as Lorai screams in agony. Begging her own friends to run, Yavanna doesn't realize that she started to cry as she continued to push forward. Despite the horror of reliving a nightmare through the eyes of another.

The meeting of the elites, the grandmaster's death, the children being slaughtered by the hand of Lorai who wasn't in control anymore. Her eyes were pure black no whites or anything, the temple under siege, all of it because of Darth Zebul. The Temple burning because of him. How he nearly killed her entire family after stealing her body and using her like a puppet hell he even admitted that he was the one who created her using the midi-chlorian manipulation. That alone drove an entire temple to utterly destroy him.

"Yavanna!" She heard a muffled shout as the hallucination tried to consume her further.

She was on her knees begging for her own kin begging for the monster to let them go, to stop using her, to stop using her like a marionette to kill hundreds of people! All the while she's begging them to run away and it took the grandmaster and fourteen others to finally undo the puppeteer strings before Darth Zebul struck them down. It was during this that she was scarred for life seeing that all over again knowing her mother's not in control.

She didn't realize she reverted to Ikkaris and was begging for mercy. Not realizing that as she looked up it wasn't Darth Zebul who looked down at her hatefully terror filling her tear stained face and reddened eyes. The whole episode being watched by terrified and helpless to stop it, jedi masters and knights as she continued shouting, begging, whispering at someone who they had not a clue. It set Karbul on edge and if he was on edge then there is a damn good reason.

She never really was prone to being brought to her knees like this nor did she seem like the ilk who would bottle up her feelings till they were uncontrollable. Bottling up the feelings just allows them to fester longer and longer till they cannot anymore. By that point it turns into a complex emotion fueled by resentment, wrath or even rage. It's a very ugly thing like bitterness except with bitterness it either stays with someone or gradually fades away at great cost. She isn't one of those people who just loses their composure for no good reason.

Besides she's not the only one hearing things but she's the first to react this violently as whatever she saw was her weak point. Apparently the forty eight year old despite appearing far younger had yet to face her demons which is why her master probably sdent her here to test her resolve. Considering that Yaddle got the gist of what she was saying, speaking another variant which is derived from another language found on their planet. Despite what others may believe each planet has typically multiple languages living, rare, dying out, and extinct. Yoda's own kind is no exception to that rule if you were to compare it like a mixture of Croatian or Slovenian and Greek in structure of sound, considering that Yaddle herself only learnt the basics of Ikkaris living on another continent.

Yaddle's own mother tongue if she spoke it was very different to Yoda's beings they are from two different countries and continents even. The word order typical of her species remains the same when speaking basic even so Yaddle and Yoda are versed in hiding their accents eventually forgetting them altogether. Being raised by people who finished the raising that didn't have those accents before she actually started to speak meant her family's highland scottish accent wasn't as prominant if it existed at all. Yoda began speaking far earlier due to a distinct lack of volcanic erruptions that year which could have kicked ash and sulfur into the atmosphere. Those conditions seem rather minor but depending on the era it varies widely which is usually why they end up dropping their accent all together.

"Yavanna chi kobai korin." Yoda said holding her breaking the vision he was trembling as he had seen it too. Basic telepathic sending. She winced internally at the implications of losing full control over it to her usual extent.

"You saw what I saw?" She asked hoarsely in a whisper her eyes full of desperation as Yoda hugged her tightly. Yoda moved, breaking the hug. Hands on her arms as the master looked her in the eyes and merely nodded. Seeing what happened shook the old Master to the core but he pressed on. Each one had visions but as they entered the main section the anxiety and fear was palpable like ice and lemon it left a strange aftertaste and left a hollow pit in your stomach. Faster heart rates faster breathing out of fear unknowingly feeding the hallucination.

Yoda's own was a slow build up his father insulting him demanding to know why he left his position as shogun, why he refused anyone who tried to get him to marry someone else, why he let himself stagnate, why the order was lesser for it, their were several hundreds of voices he barely twitched an ear. But by the time there was one who got through to him.

'You have failed them my son.' The clear voice of Yoda's mother rang in his head in Galactic basic; she spoke clearly.

'You cannot save them.'

The thing that broke him was the brutal tearing apart was his siblings telling him that he would fail.

It took the now adult Lasarra to step forward and tell him what he knew and dreaded.

"You let the boy get away now all shall suffer for it because you lacked the resolve!"

"Or is it that you don't want them to know what kind of monster that you can be?"

Yoda flinches.

He feels something wrap around his wrist as they hear him struggle against something that is burning his skin. The black twisty living vine hisses and retreats into the blackness Yoda gasps holding his wrist he barely realizes he was crying. When Yoda reveals what was done we see a nasty acid burn at least it looked like one.

'You should have left well enough alone Hathor.' The voice spoke and as their lightsabers were used as a means to keep whatever that was at bay.

Yavanna looked around, finding the ruins below and the numerous skeletons seemingly locked in combat. The funny thing about mummies too that the jaw relaxes after rigor mortis sort of wears off making them look like they were screaming. Again this doesn't apply here but it was the first thing that popped into her head oddly enough. Ordinarily the skeletal remains would freak out a lot of people who didn't deal with that kind of thing but after dealing with so much as a youngling it doesn't really bother Yavanna. And the jedi sentinels who came with them showed nothing.

Master Karba was giving Yoda furtive glances while Yavanna grew impatient with them ignoring the fact they were stuck in a damn hole with nightmares.

Yavanna came beside him, falling back and the room itself looked to have been larger once but was half collapsed. Ignoring this she used her force healing to heal the acid burns finding something else entirely. She felt the same presence before in her mother when she was controlled. She felt a simmering hot indigity and wrathful rage as she used a similar method used on her mother to purge the bastard from her mother fully. Even after death he refused to stay dead!

"When were you going to say something about partial possession? When it was overwhelming you? Or do you think it's easy to shake it off?" Yavanna hissed viciously in her voice cracking out of fear.

"It's never easy. It's even worse if you're alone. My mother tried fighting it alone and she ended up being destroyed mentally. Everything my mother was before was consumed like ash in the wind!" Yavanna spat her voice wavered full of a worry and misery.

Everything she used to be was made even worse that the man and the several people who saved her ended up dying brutally. He forced her to start the job and then proceeded to end it brutally killing the man she considered a father when by technicality she didn't have one. The aftermath left her damaged mentally that not even her own family could repair the damage. She wasn't even the same fiery spitfire she was when she was raising Yavanna all alone because the damage to her marriage was enough to destroy her even more. When her mother needed her father the most it proved to be too much for him so he left like a coward while she forgave him because he wasn't strong enough to handle it.

"It destroyed her till her spirit was nothing but an idea whispered in the wind. That kind of darkness isn't something you can shrug off whatever this is. We must stop it before it decides the younglings are next." Yavanna turned her head to the side speaking to those behind her, her brown hair swaying like a waterfall as she did so. Her blue marked brows furrowed in worry and rage this passion speaking her mind clearly.

Yoda eyes widened as well then he looked around her skeletons littered the floor many having either arrows in them or some other damage like blown out ribs from behind, if only that was the worst thing to happen here.

"That idol ...its leaking darkside energy." Master Karba said warily, eyeing the demonic oni-like Ikkarian Nol'ryannos. Unlike depictions of say human versions of pagan gods or even other religions around different gods, the same principle is different. If you were to sum it up Nol'ryannos also known by several other names including Tyrannus, Loctivus, Rnsarii, isn't like the Hindu gods in the slightest. Unlike Shiva this one represents evil but not a duality its at odds with the other deities of Ikkarian mythology in that aspect. Created solely because of the amount of hatred and malice that was present during that thousand years.

If you can imagine that its power is truly insidious taking advantage of sins to the extreme that not even their version of the devil would go to. As evil like that isn't pure evil Shåkktyab their version of the being Chaos within the force is merely the one who judges the dead she/he/them doesn't embody evil they punish the wicked. Nol'ryannos isn't like that merely embodying the sins of man like gambling, envy, or lust no this was worse. The image of it laughing at the misery of others, its hollow eyes glinting with dusty garnets, the stone used was Darkstone a type of stone which their people carved from despite its name it came in a variety of colors. It's like a middle area between limestone and granite in carving Yavanna knew this personally because her lightsaber instructor was a sculptor.

The red darkstone was carved in the image of the terrifying god of evil standing atop scorched ruins and corpses, its tusk like fangs once ivory in color now boasted only dust. Of clothing it wore articles which consisted of skulls of various races, mon calamari, nautolan, human, sephi, wookiee, ikkari, even Zatharian as a sick sort of necklace. One might think of the hindu god Kali who does something similar but each hindu god Deva (benevolent) or Asura (not so benevolent) serves a purpose to tell a story. Unfortunately unlike Kali the statues carved of the hindu gods and goddesses or even the imagery in their likeness do not give off a sense of foreboding evil that this does. Its robes are more akin to something the nightbrothers would wear, with claws from beasts hooked onto a thread carven in stone.

Half of his chest uncovered as the strap of the clothing covered the other shoulder. His belt was simple in design yet held a weapon that none of them had ever seen before.

"Seen much I have but never seen something like this." Yoda said coming forward the statue was very much malevolent. Also hideous.

"Considering the dead…" Yavanna countered sharply, recovering a sort of edge to her voice.

"Mother told me once that the entire cult had a sort of tree that they planted that was pure evil. She said that her grandparents spoke of it melting the flesh off your bones." Yaddle mentioned quietly she looked at the statue warrily and noticed the ancient bones.

Actually how the fucking hell did the jedi miss this place or was it sealed up tight enough to only reopen recently? Are we this blind? Karba asked himself baffled.

Several jedi looked a bit taken aback by that description and disgusted a bit.

"If you're lucky." Yoda said his accent getting thicker actually where did that come from? That was a sudden change unexpected with another thing.

"Uhhhh have you always had an accent?"

Its odd he obviously didn't have a clear accent before he did speak in the typical galactic basic with the Shakespearian vibe to it. You might not know an ikkaris accent but his was a older dialect the best way to describe it would be less harsh less clear obviously slight cajun influence (or his people's equivalent), the drawl was on the words much like a New York one. She immediately picked it up because despite its disuse she recognized it.

Its from the midlands which are known for their military might still it obviously started to fade from disuse*. Its likely that it used to be thicker considering the native tongue that is dominant in the region back when he was still a youngling. The midlands of Zärrgamīs are known for being more hospitable. Just because it was more hospitable doesn't mean that it was pleasant to be in easier to grow crops yes but not any easier for them to live.

"Huh?"

Seeing the scary altar looking ominous a pyramid with an ancient look to it actually it looked horrifying claw like precipices coming from it the step-like pyramid was obviously one of a sacrife considering the skeletons of old around it. If only this was the only evil thing hiding down below the temple itself, it wasn't.

"Your people made this?!" Karba asked after taking it all in. His voice raised to a rather humorous squeak.

"Granted likely insane people." Yaddle added glancing at Karba.

"Comment on that I should not." Yoda moved past them trying his best to maintain his decorum its strange but he didn't feel quite right. He could sense the darkside sure but it was something else too something felt wrong on his insides. What he didn't know was likely going to bite him in the ass later on.

"They worshiped something else…" Yaddle trailed off her eyes moving across the room their lights coming to a area which held a petrified disturbing looking skeleton 'tree'.

"Sacrificed many to the creature known in ancient lore as a beast known as the Vindicator, a being which devours minds and controls armies of the dead mutated to suit its purpose. These people worshiped it and were rewarded with death, care little for the how or why it didn't spread to other systems perhaps content being deemed a god's instrument? To call the center of such a ritual anything but gruesome would be a lie." Yoda said in this soft accent of his that gave him a drawl.

"Have you faced something like this before?" another jedi asked, staggered.

"Long ago."Yoda glanced at the jedi a suspicious look on his face.

Curious, very curious. Karba noticed this but what shocked him next would haunt him.

Yavanna noticed as well.

"Roll up your sleeves." Yoda asked it was no request, it was a command.

"Uh sure why?" The jedi said he may have been a guard and sentinel but his eyes were obviously glazed over.

The light revealed black skin and black veins on his otherwise human skin.

"Mas-"Yaddle didn't have a chance to say whatever she was going to say as Yoda's eyes hardened and he cut the jedi in two vertically revealing black rootlike tentacles. In the corpse. Well fuck that's disgusting. Everyone jumped or tookk a few steps back to try and not to get latched by them.

"Well... well… well...I guess I'll have to reveal myself." As the room shook a feminine voice rang out the black eldritch abomination spoke revealing a boney trunk with glowing red veins with skeletons embedded into it. Where the light was shone on it somehow the being lit up the room temporarily blinding us with moderate night vision.

"So you are the one that defeated my brother? How amusing. But you can't glass half the continent here." She said the ancient voice moved its venus flytrap esque mouth with a means of seeing town her toothy throat. When she spoke she revealed layers of teeth and a throat of sorts which is disturbing in itself. From what Yavanna could tell it wasn't entirely him either something else was there buried deeper that he tried to hide. It was toying with them and enjoying it.

"Oh are you angry Yoda? Or is it Apollyon?" She taunted as he grit his teeth trying to reign in his temper. The jedi glanced at Yoda who have never really seen the old master really and truly furious they hope they never do see the master lose it.

"Just like Girik… you know despite what you think he still believed in you even as his mind was consumed he pushed you away to save you. He left you in that cave so you would be safe despite the obvious danger our dormant weakling brother could pose to a child. So honorable so loving...yet you still hate him!" She laughed taunting him.

"Apollyon well you would have made a fine sith." She laughed and the four jaws were 'fleshy' and full of teeth that looked purple and yellow. The very image was horrifying to those who had never seen such a being before hiding below the temple unknowingly. The rest of the jedi were confused and terrified when she said that referring to Yoda as Apollyon being the reason for the confusion and abject horror at the thought of Yoda as a sith. Which struck them as very wrong to even think of such the only one who seemed a bit open minded about it. Even so the very thought sent shivers down Yaddle and Yavannna's spines, if he fell the universe would be far darker. That was something that even the force quivered in fear at that like it admitted that it would be true.

The funny thing is that in an instant everything shattered leaving only an echo behind revealing that what they thought they saw was nothing more than a withered old husk. Dead. Its been dead for a very long time. The jedi who was 'struck down' died eons ago in these very tunnels and his ghost remained here bound to this place because he couldn't finish what he was sent down here to do.

'I have waited a long time to be set free.' The jedi spoke he was a human and a sentinel, an obvious force ghost.

"Who are you?" Karba asked curiously eyeing the blue force ghost who looked at the master an amused smile on his ghostly face

"I was once known as Shar Tiin."

The last name Tiin was a house from the habitable moon of Iktotch. A race of near humans with twin horns that curled downward. He seemed to look mostly human despite the armor he wore obviously dating back to that time.

"I will warn you this in your darkest hour you will face evils unimaginable but the greatest threat is ourselves. The actions taken or not can destroy us. The question is will you be ready when the truth finally dawns?" Shar warned them.

"It will dawn on them by the fires of the temple burning and jedi knights, masters, padawans and younglings dead. We cannot stop it but we can limit its damage and prepare for what is to come for if we do not then all will be lost." Yavanna said as her eyes blazed with determination.

"Then what did we see?" Another sentinel spoke.

"A powerful emotional echo nothing more or less. This was the last stand where the cult of Nol'ryannos was snuffed out. But we ultimately failed in destroying the source of its power."

"Which is?" Yavanna questioned before he pointed to the statue at the base of the step pyramid where the dark side emanated from exclusively.

"Know how to do a wall of light do you?"

Yavanna face twisted into one of confusion before it hit her like a delayed effect.

"But Master Yoda we don't have enough people!" Karba protested. Typically you need a cadre of jedi to do a wall of light.

"Surely you exaggerate I mean really if Sunchaser can manage to do it without help."

"He's not." A jedi sentinel wearing red robes really the masks are all the same the only difference is slight differences in robes, voices and species.

"Technically they were known as Sunrider but they shared that epithlet because of their clans sigil, their actual name was Starwalker. Irony doesn't escape me."

"Technically all you need is one really strong in the force but in this case we have three."

Yavanna, Yoda and Yaddle were these three though Yavanna wasn't even officially a grey order knight. She had chosen the path of the Wayfinder for a reason but she didn't voice it to people who were ignorant of what it meant. Yaddle herself was prone to understating her own Force ability as there were others better than her.

"Doubt yourself you should not, despite what I said when you returned after your imprisonment." Yoda spoke softly.

"Did it then why did you?"

Yoda sighed. He figured this conversation would come up and he shouldn't have put it off as long as he did.

"Thrust upon you responsibility was, felt guilty for not going to rescue you but counsel was deadlocked on the issue. Played we were, didn't realize that we were leading you and Ploven Kut into a trap, by the time we did too late it was. Ulros basically gift wrapped Ploven to Tulak who murdered Ploven's entire family, bonus you were to him." He explained suddenly. Yaddle's eyes widened she knew some details but not all of them or why Ulros the half sephi was dead. Sephi can live centuries, maybe not as long as their own race but it's still long enough.

"Ulros? Sat on the counsel didn't he?" Yaddle asked her voice strained this sudden reveal after centuries was a bit much to take in.

"Unfortunately. Didn't mean anything by the vote against you just that wished you had more time to settle back in."

Yoda was sincerely concerned about her well-being, it was touching to know he cared though a few centuries too late despite the fact she just turned three hundred thirty one.

"Deserved being knighted on the spot after what you have done. No one else could have done what you did on Koba." Yoda said, surprising her.

This seemed to be a strange relationship but typical relationships start out strange the best ones this one could work she could see it. The sparks of the fact they could make it work she had seen this before was adorable to witness because they were so awkward about this relationship thing. While being jedi about it which was even more complicated considering that amount of repression isn't healthy.

"Have known many average jedi in my lifetime will know many more in years to come, average you are not." Yoda admitted.

"If you two are done flirting?" Yavanna had to tease Yoda who squawked indignantly, smirking at them both amused.

"Flirting?" Karba huffed a laugh warming his heart to see Yoda at least taking initiative to try and court her. The sexual tension between the two made him want to just arrange something to get those two together code be damned. The fact that they live long had actually brought up the thought that they might breed slowly due to that which would possibly explain why Yoda doesn't talk about his people. He was trying to protect them.

Yoda was blushing a deeper green wishing he could just vanish into the floor probably in embarrassment.

"You ever wonder why he has never stayed in the dark? Maybe because he loves the jedi too much to hurt them in that manner? Love will always be stronger than hate, rejection may burn but it too in time will fade. Besides he's obviously from the Ansöogar Prefecture they are rather old fashioned."

This tidbit of information about where his people came from is more than the rest of the jedi ever got from either of them. Considering they are indeed hiding something the reason why could be anything. Yaddle herself was in an arranged marriage but considering her father failed to get her consent (uh kinda hard when you still can't speak yet) and approval of the elders and her mother when it came down to it her father was disgraced. Thrown out of his family home and clan and basically told to fuck the fuck off.

Yoda left to escape the Emperor at the time and to avoid becoming the head of his house. Both of them had something to avoid.

"Lets do this."

Regaining his composure though he was still blushing the rest of them about six sentinels and Karba plus the three leading it. They would start the wall of light and help maintain it bearing the brunt of it. The unified front of lightsiders could in theory purge the darkside from an object or sever someone from the force blinding them to it. The best way to describe the wall of light is a source of blinding light with power behind it. Usually taking the combined powers of dozens of jedi serving as the blade of the force so to speak.

As they slowly started to form the blur white ripple of force slowly became the cage of the evil statue. As the force rippled becoming visible to the naked eye turning from blue to vibrant white trapping the thing which as it cracked releasing red energy until it shattered revealing a monstrous looking spirit. One can assume a former sacrifice or even perhaps Xarth'kobbo himself as it violently flew around its cage like some sort of genie, this was someone that was for certain. His face if you could call this illusion similar to the man considered so evil that its said that it took an army of thousands to finally end him.

The violent curses in an extinct tongue from Ikkari Prime were vicious with the single sentence being held in basic. Slow and guttural like a constant growl in the back of a throat that doesn't exist anymore considering his corporeal form no longer exists.

"You will fall like the worm Yisrael did bound to his fate he was consumed by it like you will be!" the dark ikkarian puff of smoke red and black shifting in shape and trying to escape its light prison. Unfortunately for him Yoda's green-amber eyes narrowed sharpening becoming like ice he had a clever retort to that. One that would put him in his place.

"Yisrael made his own destiny not fate those who believe otherwise are foolish." Yoda retorted his eyes narrowed as the shadowy form shifted and became ragged before vaporizing. The deed was done and the former jedi Tiin nodded as the room started to collapse immediately afterward.

"We need to move now!"

The problem was that for the others it tired them out which led to another issue entirely if they cannot outrun then what else is there? She went over to the panting jedi and using her powers of healing she helped them recover quickly. The jedi who accompanied us faced certain truths about themselves and each other. As they ran through a rapidly collapsing cavern complex held up only by that evil totem's own darkside energy. Eventually making it back just as dust came up through the crevice.

"Who is Yisrael?" Yavanna panted as she got up, everyone was on the floor of the maintenance tunnel trying to catch their breath.

"Ancestor of mine. Famous he was, for stopping infighting between clans." Yoda said through never revealed anything about his family or origins but on this occasion he made an exception due to the circumstances surrounding that.

"Formed first star navy of our kind he did." Yaddle noted. This was a rare bit of information that you are lucky to get at all from either jedi master at all but their own ability to really say these things around a zatharian made the rather odd change surprising. It didn't escape anyone this sudden change in them telling anything about their rather secretive species.

After everything the six jedi sentinels and Karba just went to their normal posts or in the case of many passed out in their room. Though Yavanna had something different in store she offered to take them out for drinks. What surprised her was her modest apartment and the softly flowing living force from the plants she had in the room.

"I find gardening relaxing. I could never sculpt clay, wood or even stone like my one lightsaber teacher could." She explained half these plant species Yoda didn't know the name of. He was rather curious about them by the looks of it.

Yaddle was looking at the sapling of a melancholic looking creamy grey with reddish leaves. Its force signature wasn't like the rest of the plants it was very somber like it was mourning which she found odd.

"Its a rare type of tree Titania took a cutting of one from Zakuul after seizing every record they had and destroying their sanctum. It's a tybuis tree its said a red haired girl lost her family and prayed KoIralla for something anything to give meaning. Its said her tears and pain was absorbed into a sapling which became the first Tybuis tree." She said.

She gave a sideways glance and went into the kitchen bringing out a bottle of alcohol.

Its there that we find out who Apollyon was after four cups of Ikari sake Yoda explains the name. The strange thing is that she later found out that Yoda without the use of purge poisons a healing ability that you can learn he can out drink most of the masters of the 'old guard'. Which makes him rather strange that Sake would loosen his tongue. It is known as rice wine for a reason the higher alcohol content shouldn't really matter because either way after so much alcohol you consume the effect is pretty much the same. By that I mean even if the alcohol content is 5% and you keep drinking despite that the blood to alcohol levels will increase to that. If you drink it slowly and savor it then you can control your level of alcohol in your blood so by the time your ready to go you'll be stone cold sober. Without it being watered down aged liquor is like drinking paint thinner as with aged whiskey or scotch it can taste like how paint thinner smells. Again to those who are unused to it at least or like the taste.

Sake is something else entirely and if you are unprepared you will get absolutely smashed very easily. Considering that this type of sake was a type of sake which had a spicy zest to it. You see sake depending on preference can differ as widely as normal alcohol, season, aging the koshu or matured sake is far coarser and thus stronger. Beginner sake drinkers are probably not going to want to go down that road, the fresh sake is milder in flavor and probably won't knock you on your ass if you don't drink the whole bottle in one sitting. Though it's acceptable if you do just don't do it all at once. Considering that they have a sort of culture behind drinking it kampai being the toast to go with it. Take in the aroma of the drink allow the taste to linger in your mouth when you sip but this is only in politeness. If you aren't drinking alone well typically they take turns pouring it in the cups of those who want a refill. Its just good manners for all involved.

The fact Yavanna had a bottle of Surkaii sake was impressive enough considering customs rarely allowed such a beverage out of their hands seizing it. Surkaii is a spicy sake with a flavorful umami that was made so by Omachi rice which is rare for a reason the yeast used gave it a shiitake mushroom taste which complimented the flavoring giving it a strange sort of savoriness that Omachi was known for.

One doesn't question how a Wayfinder manages to get something like this through customs. For her it's easy enough despite the fact that there was a regional ban on certain alcohols being brought in. Sake was one of them, why is anyone's guess. Considering

"Once was called Apollyon in the outer rim and Ikkarian Hedgemony." Yoda admitted his accent was thicker now you could tell if you knew what to look for.

"Why?"

Yoda looked away.

"A falling out between my father and I,ended well it did not for either one of us. Rather nasty to my enemies back then I was, regret it somewhat I might but no other option I had." Yoda mentioned. The civil war between his family and his father was a literal one and was his rather darkest hour he doesn't like talking about it mostly because he moved past it and didn't allow it to effect him presently. But certain things can effect you especially considering how something was happening and no one yet knew it something horrible deep down a spell activated after centuries of remaining dormant. As he returned with Yaddle to the temple drunk and she was tipsy eventually deciding too sleep it off in his quarters as he fell asleep he felt something cold reach inside him and claw at him. He didn't rest easy.

Don't trust that witch Isadora.

And that's a wrap.

*For this it refers to regional dialect specifically. I gave him an accent for a reason and it doesn't show up because he's repressing it and thus is forgetting it there is a reason why. Always.

The Ikkarian Hedgemony was from the original and I don't want to reveal too much. For those of you who thought perhaps the reveal of him being ordered to glass planets might be out of character for him. You must realize he was a very different person when he was in his two hundreds which to put it in human years would be like his twenties. He was a very different person.

Xarth'kobbo was a very important figure in their past it shall become clear why.

Yes the tree of death is based off the gravemind. Also considering Lucasfilms couldn't use the name Sunrider for reasons I reconned it as a family nickname and made their last name on a pun on Skywalker now being Starwalker. Make what you will of that.
