He had food alright. His ship was full of it. I was now banqueting in Tyber Zann's ship, something I'd never thought I'd be doing. We fought for his ship, and I won, I beheaded him, so the ship was mine. Then I knew, now that I was left to survive on my own, I had to do anything to survive, survival of the fittest. After that most glorious meal ,starter, main course and dessert? I would've bitten your hand off for that offer a few days ago, but then I would've ate something then, so I'd feel slightly replenished, not that your hand would taste good. That would also be cannibalism, and that's the one thing I'll never do to survive. Actually... I would resort to that only if completely necessary. Why am I saying this? I felt slightly bloated as I made my way to the Pilot's seat. Zann's ship was one of those Carriers pirates normally use, and scrap traders, if they want to trade somewhere which isn't Raxus Prime's junkyard. The buttons were quite jumpy, which says a lot about how many times Zann used this ship, I got my way around the cluster of pushy-thingies, as I liked to call them. Don't worry, I didn't call my lightsaber a flashy-thingy. The ship pulled off without hesitation, so Tyber hadn't left it long, had he? The ship flew out into the cosmos, there was something pulling me though, something in the Force told me to go this way, a place that felt very well connected to the Force, I researched the area with the ships systems. The Sluis Sector? Never heard of it. Apparently it was only reachable by hyper lanes. Apparently it was home to the planets; Agora, Bpfassh, Dagobah, Denab, Kerest, Orto, Praesitlyn and Sluis Van. None of which I had ever heard of, I checked for the hyperdrive systems on the vessel, luckily there was some, but it was quite old and rusty, it was going to be a bumpy ride. The blue flash resumed again, flowing past with slivers of black and white tracing past. The ship shook violently as hyperspace zoomed past, it rattled like crazy, I guess the hyperdrive really wasn't in the best shape, was it? When it pulled out of hyperspace the ship lurched, throwing me forward, thankfully I had my seatbelt on, although it cut into my chest. I felt nauseous, but that's what bad hyperdrive does to you. I shook my head and glared out into space, literally! The ship floated for a while, and that massive banquet I had earlier came to bite. I headed out into ships toilets, and, let's just leave it at this, space sickness really takes a lot out of the recovery and I was back in the cockpit, I felt a pull towards a certain planet, it seems infested with the Force, it was a small murky green, with swishes of white cloud streaking across in certain places. I researched on this planet.
'Dagobah?' I thought aloud. 'Isn't that...' I was going to say something, but then I forgot as I was distracted by a lightning strike on the planet.
The carrier got closer to the planet. Research brought up more results. Apparently there was no intelligent life on the planet. The ship got even closer to the planet. I prepared the ship to land. It slowly descended through the thick clouds of Dagobah's atmosphere. A cluster of bogwings flew past the cockpit, barely able to identify through the fog. The ship docked in a small opening through the swamps and forests, I looked around, what was it that drew me to this place? It didn't have anything! I exited the vehicle and searched for anything that meant something. Nope, nothing, nought. Not anything. I delved deep into the swamps. I looked into a small lake, it seemed there was something in there, I took a step further to the edge, something stirred in the murky sludge that was Dagobah's waters. I leaned to look further into the swamp. A bubble ascended from the depths and popped. I heard a deep moaning sound, and place my hand over my lightsaber, but I settled. It didn't seem right. I leaned even further so now I was looking straight down into the sludge. A small disturbance rippled across the area I was looking into, and, directly below me, the water began to get darker. It got even darker and quickly got darker, and quickly even darker, and darker, and darker, until a giant monster exploded out of the surface, I reacted quickly and backflipped out of the way. My attacker was a dragonsnake, I once confronted a devolved version of these beasts on Nal Hutta. I drew my blade and swung my arm in a combative position. The dragonsnake lunged twice flexibly, and I dodged both attacks. Then leapt on top of it, it shook it's it's neck to throw me off and lunged towards me again in quick succession. It created a large gash on my stomach and I fell back in pain. The dragonsnake coiled back for a final strike, I realised the danger and jumped to my feet, one hand on my stomach and another holding my weapon, the dragonsnake got closer and I pulled back the blade, the striking it into the roof of it's mouth. The dragonsnake's eyes rolled backwards, as it's ropey body swayed around, I took cover as it's corpse splashed into the swampy sludge, spraying the stuff in all directions. I covered my face and a bit of the sludge hit my arm. I heard a jumpy noise, and saw something jump from tree to tree to get away from me, and the corpse.
'Ugh,' I said. 'Just a Nudj.'
I travelled on further into the marsh, and overhanging vines were either swept away by my arm, or sliced down by my lightsaber. I heard a hissing noise and looked around, I decided it was just my mind and headed onwards. I was travelling for ages and stumbled into a few bogwings nesting, they flew off in fright when I approached. I accidentally walked into a tree later on, rubbing my forehead, I heard the hissing noise again. I placed my hand firmly around my weapon, ready to draw if trouble comes. There was nothing, and my hand relaxed on my blade. And I carried on. I was several miles away from my ship when I heard it once more. A hiss. I looked around cautiously, when instinct told me to do what I did next. I swiftly grabbed my weapon, activated it and swung it over my head, this move generated something to fall from the vines. A Vine Snake, I believe it was descending from the ones to either bite me venomously or constrict me, as it does. More hisses could be heard, and I prepared myself for another attack. Some snakes dropped from the vines and began slithering towards me, other attempted to drop down onto my neck. I didn't have much trouble dispatching most of them, but one successfully landed on my head and slithered down my skull. I attempted to beat it off with my hands, but it kept moving, I felt it coil backwards to inflict a fatal injury, but I pushed it off and sliced it in half with my weapon. Another dropped to the floor, and began it's way towards me, it leapt with incredible height onto my chest, I quickly grabbed it off and held it to look at, it attempted to jump out, and snacked a small piece of skin off the bridge of my nose. I threw it to the floor in disgust and squashed it with my foot. After the ambush a group of omnivorous sleens began to devour the dead. I carried on, on my journey. I came across another marshland, there was something stirring in this lake too. Without warning, another dragonsnake crashed out of the water and glared at me, I was startled by the abruptness of this one, it's characteristics were to draw it's victims close to the end, but he just did the exact opposite. The dragonsnake submerged again, and reappeared grappling with a swamp slug, a beastly creature which was literally fifty times larger than your average slug. The slug gained an advantage over it's opposition, then devoured it whole. I quickly skipped the swamp and headed further into thick brambles. I approached a small cave. This felt mysterious, it had overhanging vines and sprawling fog, it felt filled by the Force, and, the Dark Side. I walked forward, ducking under the vines and into the fog...
