The Vornskr landed with a small bump on the repulsers. The boarding ramp came down as soon as the ship hit the ground and Master emerged wearing his usual black jedi like cloak with his saber at his side.

Master walked to the edge of the plateau and stood on the edge. After a moment he launched himself off the edge into the air then he fell downwards towards the ground one hundred meters below him. Just before he hit the ground which would have killed him it a small area opened and he kept falling into it, into the darkness.

Master landed like he had fallen no more than a few inches and walked down a dark hallway, all that could be heard was the sound of his foot steps on the cold hard metal floor. All of a sudden blades sprang out of spots in the halls moving in and out as if to stab anything that was in its way, Master ran and dived over and under them, as he got to the other side he rose to his feet, and chuckled "Heh, they couldn’t touch me a year ago Xi’an, they sure as hell aren’t going to touch me now".

Master continued down the hall way until he reached a big open room, there was a statue of a man wearing a ragged version of a jedi cloak and a cloak covering his face. Master bowed in front of it, "Old Master you taught me well, but you taught me the wrong things, this is how I should be, this is how I always was" Master said to himself with an evil grin.

Turning Master’s attention went to several stone pillars in the center of the room each one had a series of different markings on them, but that didn’t concern Master, after studying the Dark Holocron during his trip here he knew what he had to do.

After pressing a series of five symbols on each of the four pillars there was a rumble in the ground and it shook, Master then took his deactivated Lighsaber and placed it in the small grove in the center pillar so the emitter was facing upwards. This was apparently the final key and light came out from each of the pillars and hit the ceiling. In the center Master’s Lightsaber became active on its own with the blade pointing to the ceiling. Master gasped at what was happening, the lights from the pillars were bouncing off the crystals on the ceiling into Master’s lightsaber blade giving the room a beautiful glow.

A gap opened between the rays of light at the ceiling and a small cube shaped object slowly moved down towards the center pillar. It continued to it hit the tip of Master’s saber and froze their for a moment then fell onto the pillar next to the saber. The light stopped coming out of the pillars and Master’s saber deactivated.

Master grabbed his saber and switched it on, it seemed to be full of power somehow, like it was a vessel for something greater than it was meant to be. Master looked at the small device and picked it up, it had some sort of countdown which was in a language he couldn’t read but that was all that could be seen on it. The Dark Jedi holocron sprang to life and Nadd appeared "Very good, what you hold in your hand is from a lost time, where the jedi were one, there was no light side, there was no dark side, they forged this device hoping it would be their greatest treasure, which it was"

"What does it do"? Master asked.

The holo grinned "It can revive some one from the dead, but only one person, no more"

A smile came over Master’s face. With this I can revive Kristy, Master thought. It brought happiness to him.

"I want it to revive someone that was taken from me, someone I loved" Master said to Nadd.

The holo laughed in a way Master didn’t like in the slightest, "It will, but not yet, when the time comes it will revive who you wish"

The Vornskr lifted off from Tormarie and jumped into hyperspace headed for Onderon.
