Sine Praktaspis
May 20th, 2001, 01:33:28 PM
In great trepidation, the Jedi steps out of his crashed Y-wing. After a run-in with another ship (of which he has no recollection), he crashlanded on this swampy world. All around him is dessolation. Trees covered from top to bottom in mosses, the ground soft and watery, and all around him muck and mud.
"How unsanitary," he thinks to himself.
He then senses something in the Force. Apparently he is not the only one here. Some other life form is not too far removed from where he stands. This disturbance seems to be radiating from straight ahead, into a dark patch of woods. Should he or shouldn't he go in? That is the dilema. On the one hand, this life form might be able to tell him where he is and how to get off. On the other, it might be a wild beast just ready to pounce on any unsuspecting victim. He tries to use the Force to sense who and what it is, but his senses are blocked. Then he hears an eerie female voice calling his name.
"Sine (and the name is pronounced See-nay, in case you were wondering)!" it squeals. "Sine! Come to me, Sine!"
He feels so much fear from this, and he has no clue what spirit's tongue salutes him so grimly. But then he remembers what his master taught him when he was but a young padawan. He told him that fear is only an emotion, and emotions should hold no place in a Jedi's mind when an emergency situation is concerned, for they block the natural flow of the Force. He takes a deep breath and slowly walks towards the dark woods. His lightsaber activated to light the path, he makes his way through them. The dark forest is amazingly very clear of branches, rocks, or anything that may block the path. Could someone have recently been here? Then he hears the voice again.
"Sine! Come to me, Sine!"
He suppresses the sudden feeling of fear that has entered him and just moves on. Deeper and deeper he walks until he sees light not too far off. His saber still alight, he runs towards it. It's getting closer. It's right in front of him. He's free! The young jedi deactivates his saber and replaces it in its holster as he nears an ancient brick structure. It is trapizoidal in shape and, like everything else around here, covered in moss. Old carvings and paintings decorate its surface; a warrior in a chariot conquering his foes, a Jedi knight dying in battle, a king killing a rival king, and many others. The disturbance in the force was more intense here, gripping his stomach and twisting it. A flight of seventeen stairs led up to an entrance guarded by stone lions, and from that entrance issued forth the ghostly woman's voice.
"Sine! I'm in here, Sine! Help me!"
Feeling as though the voice is tugging at his body, he runs up the stairs and into the building.
The main halway is lit with wooden torches.
"Hmmmmmmm," the jedi thinks to himself. "These couldn't have been lit thousands of years ago. Someone is definitely here."
He walks further down, and sees nothing more than more torches for almost fifteen minutes. His feet grow weary from all the walking, but still he presses on. He then comes to a plain wooden door right in front of him, and hears the ghastly voice, but this time it is so loud, it seems that the being is in the hall right with him!
"Sine! Sine!"...
Well, that's my first RPG. Anyone care to continue it?
