A Journey of Knowledge

[Warren Azalin]

The sun was beginning to set on Arcan IV as Warren began heading towards the Space Port, or at least the Hangar where his ship was being kept during his stays on the Planet. After all if he was to greet recruits he had to have a place to store his ship, and lucky for him the NR gave him such a spot to store his ship. It was all useless knowledge of course, but it was good to know anyways. Eventually the Jedi came to a halt not far from his ship, he didn't stand there waiting for anyone to help him to his ship, or even standing there waiting for his pilot. He was waiting on two special individuals: Dacian Zade and Gon Du-Val, both where newcomers he had chosen to train in the Jedi arts. They would need a way of getting to Yavin IV before the training began and Warren would help with that, after all it would cut time on the training when they got there.

"Gon, Dacian, this is your new Master, Warren Azalin. Come to Docking Bay 8, I'll be waiting. Bring only what you must, for this shall be your first step towards the Light of the Force."

He let the Force linger in him as he waited. letting it serve as a beacon to those it called out for, mainly his Padawans.

[Gon Du Val]

The newly appointed Jedi Padawan was sitting by herself when she heard her masters words ring out into her head.

"Gon, Dacian, this is your new Master, Warren Azalin. Come to Docking Bay 8, I'll be waiting. Bring only what you must, for this shall be your first step towards the Light of the Force."


She heard his words and stood from her seat. She took nothing with her as she had nothing.

Gon made her way down the long dim light hall to the docking bay. She read the signs as they lowered from 22 down to 8. Gon smiled and then peaking inside the docking bay and looked for her master.

She felt the presence of her master with in the area. She smiled and could only hope to do as much as this man had. Gon stood there just watching the man as he was as some called ' one with the force '. She then jumped as Dacian touched her shoulder and announced his name.

[Dacian Zade]

"Gon, Dacian, this is your new Master, Warren Azalin. Come to Docking Bay 8, I'll be waiting. Bring only what you must, for this shall be your first step towards the Light of the Force."

Dacian stood up from under the tree. The new Jedi Padawan had been trying to get in touch with the force, but his Master's words disrupted him. He wasn't getting very far, anyway. He began walking back to the base, heading straight for the docking area.

It only took a couple of minutes to get to the area. He walked past bays 1 to 7, and stopped at bay 8. Dacian saw a woman staring into the room, and figured that it would be the one that Warren called Gon. Silently, the Padawan walked up to Gon, and placed his hand on her shoulder. She jumped slightly, and he grinned at her.

“Sorry, Didn't mean to scare you. I guess you're Gon? It's nice to meet you. I'm Dacian, another of Warren's padawans. Well, lets go in and greet our master, shall we?”

Dacian smiled lightly to Gon, then turned to Docking Bay 8. Warren had told him to bring what he must; and he did. He brought only one thing, which was clipped to the right side of him; a extendable staff. It was only wooden, and was taken apart quite easily, but he was skilled in using it, so it proved to be a formidable weapon.

The Jedi Padawan stepped past the doors of Docking Bay 8, almost immediatly spotting his master. He silently made his way over there, and when arrived, he stopped, and bowed to Master Warren.

“You called for me, Master?”

[Gon Du Val]

Gon returned the smile to Dacian.

" Yes I am Gon. Its nice to meet you as well Dacian."

Gon watched the man walk from her and into the DockingBay. She stood there for a moment then hurried off after him as they made their way over to their master.

Her light brown jacket covered her white t-shirt. Her pants were the same color as the jacket. Her black boots made a muffled sound on the floor.

She as well bowed before her master.

" Hello Master Warren "

[Warren Azalin]

“You called for me, Master?”

" Hello Master Warren "

The Jedi had expected them to come quickly, and as such had already told James to warm up his ship. It would be no ordinary trip though, for what would normally be a routine shuttle trip to the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV was to be the beginning of Force Training for these two. The Jedi Master had hoped to teach them much before they even arrived on the planet, heck he might even train them enough to get home back to his wife sooner. Warren still remembered the times he had come home in the dead of night after training the Padawans, even showing those he did not know guidance in the Force, but it was his duty as well as hers and she knew the effort they both put into their work. Now Warren stood here before Dacian and Gon on Arcan IV, ready to embark on the trip.

He had told Dacian and Gon to bring with them what they must, and that's exactly what they seemed to have done. Dacian had come wearing basically what he had moments ago when Warren had greeted him at the Recruitment Center, he stood there waiting for Warren to respond in brown robes, it seemed Dacian already had part of the Jedi attire down. Yet it was hard to see him well through the hood, not that it mattered because Warren had met him before and could tell it was him by his aura and by his voice. All he brought with him was the clothes on his back and what seemed to be and extendable staff, wooden but still durable and useful, though no match for a Jedi's true weapon: A Lightsaber.

Gon was what seemed to be the opposite of Dacian though, she came with nothing at all. Opposed to the masked visage of Dacian, Gon was also the apparent opposite. She stood tall at about a good five foot five, with shoulder length hair. Even though she knew what was coming she seemed to be coming casual, wearing a light brown jacket covering what seemed to be a white T-shirt underneath. Her pants seemed to be the same color of light brown as the jacket, and her black boots finished everything off. She did not stand out in a crowd from what Warren could notice, she seemed to him like any other person he had eve seen on Talus, or even Corellia for that matter. It was a Jedi's job to blend in with their surroundings when needed, and by the look of things Gon was going to be very good at that...

Warren had waited long enough though, by now he could hear James firing the ignition, waiting for Warren and his passengers to come aboard. Warren would do just that indeed as he motioned towards the two with a nod of the head. They understood as they followed him down one of the more decrepit corridors the Docks had to offer. To this day it amazed Warren that there had been no thieves, maybe even murders in this area, but then again who in their right mind would do that in the very heart of the New Republic, much less the location of the Jedi Recruitment Center and Yog's Bar and Grill, a well known establishment for Jedi and NR officers alike. His mind was cleared of his distant thoughts though as they reached his ship, and followed him towards the now lowered ramp of the Massive Cruiser.

"Before you step aboard this ship, I want you to both know this will not be an easy life. I have seen loved ones die and friends turn in this business, so be weary. The one you trust today could be your enemy tomorrow, I am not saying to not trust, for trust is a human trait and humanity is at the heart of the Jedi..."

Warren almost stopped to ponder the dilemma he had presented himself in what he had said.

"I am not saying to not trust, for trust is a human trait and humanity is at the heart of the Jedi..."

Did this mean anything against him? For Warren was not human, at least not fully. Human blood coursed through his veins, but their were stronger Forces at work in his body. Those of a now seemingly dead race: The Ambrelians. It was that blood that coursed through his body now, it was that blood that gave him his wings and his power of flight. It was also their kinship with nature that let him control the elements as a child would a toy starship. He was more alien then human and he knew it, but was his humanity at stake when he said such things to his Padawans? For if trust was a human train and the heart of a Jedi, then what lay in him? Did he lack the humanity to ever truly be like those Great Jedi before him? The Jedi lineage had been one of dedication and hard work, all before one man by the name of Anakin Skywalker had brought it all crumbling down. Even after all these years the Jedi where not back to the full power they once had when the Old Republic was still young. Warren hoped to change that though, change it in the way he taught and the way he spoke. He would train New Jedi in the traditions of Old. Gon and Dacian would be the beginning, a beginning he hoped would never end, but instead become a Legacy. He was getting ahead of himself though and he could see that Gon and Dacian where wondering what was going through his head, thankfully none of them new mind tricks yet so none of them knew, but he would have to get back on track soon enough...

"...As I was saying, this will not be a walk in the park you two. I expect the very best from you both, remember: Do or Do Not, there is no Try. I want to know as we begin our journey what you two know of the Jedi, about who they are and what we do. I want to see ho much I must explain, and teach, how much of my knowledge should I pass on to the Next Generation of Jedi. Now come, let us depart for Yavin IV, a place of great history both Light and Dark, but that is for later."

All three walked up the ramp and into Warren's cruiser after he was done. He had left his new Padawans sitting in what he had made a small recreation area towards the back as the ship lurched forward, signaling the beginning of their journey. Both Gon and Dacian almost fell forward in their seats as the ship jumped into hyperspace only moments later. Only after they had recovered did they notice Warren again, standing near the door with a grin on his face.

"Now we shall begin. What do you both have to say about what I asked you before? It seems I have the time now to listen, and listen I shall do as you both speak."

Warren took a seat himself as he motioned for Gon and Dacian to start. He didn't know which one would answer first, but he was all ears now.

[Dacian Zade]

Dacian suddenly fell forward, off his seat, and straight onto the metal floor. Gon had fallen right beside him, and by the look on her face, she was just as stunned as he was. Dacian got up to his feet, and helped Gon up, to only see that they had gone into hyperspace. When he sat down again, he saw Warren standing at the door, with a wide grin on his face.

“You know.. you could've warned us to brace ourselves..”

The new Jedi brushed his robes lightly, taking off a bit of dust. After that, he, almost reluctantly, took his hood off.

"Now we shall begin. What do you both have to say about what I asked you before? It seems I have the time now to listen, and listen I shall do as you both speak."

Dacian nodded, and spoke up first.

“The Jedi. Well, I know that they are the protectors of peace and justice, and serve all that is good and righteous. They were once the defenders of good back in the Old Republic, but Darth Vader - Anakin Skywalker had ended all that. Umn, so yeah. That's pretty much all I know.”

He looked up at his master, who had entered the room, then turned to Gon, and waited to hear what she had to say.

[Gon Du Val]

Gon was sitting in the shuttle as it took off. She as well as Dacian fell forward onto the floor of the ship. She smiled and dusted off her clothes after Dacian helped her back up. Gon retook her seat and smiled as the fellow Padawan spoke. His words rang into her ears. She was not raised with such information but she knew most of it.


Her soft voice rang out


“ Few Jedi of the old ways live Yoda hide on Dagobah do to a myth of a Dark force user that he fought there. Hidden in a tree so the Emperor couldn’t find him via the force. Obi-Wan hide in the desserts of Tatooine. And others just hide their talents. Lord Vader as well as Mara Jade were sent by their Darkmaster to kill them off. “


Gon had joined into this adventure with nothing or had she?

[Warren Azalin]

They spoke of the past with ease and of figures now "One with the Force", they spoke of epic Wars and endless feuds, of Triumph and of Loss, but it was all common knowledge. Everything Gon and Dacian had said was written down in the ancient Holo-Novels, some older then others by many, many years. They knew well of the literary part of a Jedi, but nothing of the purpose, the meaning. They could recite the code by verbatim, but did they know what those words meant?


"There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos; There is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force.

The peace and justice of the Galaxy will be guarded, and all life in any form is and will be respected. For my ally is the Force, and I use its powers to serve and protect the innocent from evil. I seek goodness, and defend it from the Dark Side. I have dedicated my life to the Truth, I am the Light - I am a JEDI"


~~The Jedi Code~~

Did they understand it though? The Darkside would take more then a few mere words from history to besiege it. Dacian and Gon would in time learn to understand the Code, and in time they would in essence become the Code. That's what Jedi hoped for of course, to train these two in his ways, or more importantly the way of the Jedi. They had the raw potential, but they had to harness it in order to become anything like those Jedi before them. Warren knew it all too well though for once he was like them, but now he had raised to the status of Jedi Master, and now it was time to train them. Clearing his throat he spoke out to his newest Padawans.

"You both speak words of truth, but what do you know of them? You speak of History and Facts, but do you know what it all means? Can you tell me what being a Jedi truly means? What you do and the repercussions of the decisions you make?"

He hoped that would get them thinking, for none of this would be found in any Holocrons, they would have to think for themselves, and speak from the heart.

[Gon Du Val]

"There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos; There is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force.

The peace and justice of the Galaxy will be guarded, and all life in any form is and will be respected. For my ally is the Force, and I use its powers to serve and protect the innocent from evil. I seek goodness, and defend it from the Dark Side. I have dedicated my life to the Truth, I am the Light - I am a JEDI"


~~The Jedi Code~~

his words rang out in her mind...

<font color=lightblue>" Master Warren May I go first? "

Gon didnt wait she knew her answer...


" Our Emotions should not sway our thoughts, or actions. We must be mind full of all things around us, not just of what we like. We should watch everything to learn everything, the more we know the more we have to fight with for the peace of our lives. Nothing should stand in the way of what was belive and know, nothing! Fear not death for each of us shall return to help the next, via the force and our souls."

She thought of her next answer or really the finish of this answer...

We are who we are, we do as we are taught, we are the Next Jedi and we must live up to what has been taught for years before us. We are the hope and the light of our lives. I am a Jedi and I am the Light.. "</font>

[Dacian Zade]

OOC: Sorry for not posting in like.. for ever.

IC:

“Master Warren, may I go first?”

Before Warren could answer, Gon started her answer to what the Jedi Master had asked. Dacian stood aside, staring at nothing, while listening to what Gon had to say. Finally, she finished, and Dacian looked from Gon, to Warren. There wasn't much that Dacian could reply to what Gon had said, and he just stared for a moment.

Then, suddenly, the ship rocked violently, knocking all three off balance. A small explosion echoed through the ship, and then everything went black. Dacian was unconcious.

[Gon Du Val]

Gon was sitting with her feet propped up on the seat. She looked at Master Warren then to the other Padawan. Gon waited to hear his answer, but the ship was hit with something and it flung her across the room and right into Master Warren.

" What in the name of the Force was that? "

Gon then turned to look once more at Dacian but he was out like a light.

[Warren Azalin]

The ship glided through Hyperspace as Master and Padawan alike sat, heated in conversation...

<font color=lightblue>"Master Warren May I go first?"</font>

She waited a moment for him to speak, but he did not, only motioned her to speak her mind.

<font color=lightblue>"Our Emotions should not sway our thoughts, or actions. We must be mind full of all things around us, not just of what we like. We should watch everything to learn everything, the more we know the more we have to fight with for the peace of our lives. Nothing should stand in the way of what was belive and know, nothing! Fear not death for each of us shall return to help the next, via the force and our souls."</font>

Taking a deep breath, and what seemed to be a moment to gather her thoughts she continued.

<font color=lightblue>"We are who we are, we do as we are taught, we are the Next Jedi and we must live up to what has been taught for years before us. We are the hope and the light of our lives. I am a Jedi and I am the Light.."</font>

Warren let the words ring in his head, words of wisdom from such an untrained Padawan struck him as hopeful. Maybe there was hope for the next generation after all. He would wait on Dacian before he would say much more though, even now he could tell the boy's mind was teaming with ideas, just waiting to speak his mind on the questions at hand.....

BBBBBBBLLLLLLLAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM

An explosion seemed to suddenly rock the Space Cruiser as all three Jedi where thrown like rag dolls, flying every which way only to end in chaos. Dacian, the lightest of the three was thrown across the cabin, hitting the wall with a loud thud as he fell then motionless to the ground. Gon was the next to be affected as she flew across the room, heading like a rocket towards her Master, Warren. Warren braced for impact as Gon hit him like a sack of newly crafted bricks, taking the wind out of him. After a short assessment of the damage Warren headed towards Dacian, to check on the Padawan...

Dacian was in bad shape, but he would survive. Most of his wounds were external, a few cuts and bruises, nothing more. Only reason he had lost consciousness was that hard slam he took into the wall, all Warren knew was he had a hard head to withstand the blow. Warren motioned for Gon to help him get Dacian to better quarters, after all he couldn't possibly let the poor boy stay like this on the floor...

<font color=lightblue>"What in the name of the Force was that?"</font>

"No idea, no idea at all...."

He watched as Gon helped get Dacian to the Medical quarters as he stood there, alone and thinking...

"Nothing of the Force created that, I'll bet my life on that."

That thought kept racing through the Jedi's mind, indeed nothing of the Force had hit them... but then what had? Quickly the Jedi reached the Comm System, not even wasting time for formalities he spoke into the unit and could only hope it was still operational.

"James what the Frell happened? What the Hell was that?"

A few minutes of silence passed, only to be broken by a few pieces of static every now and then. It brought images of horror only thinking what could have happened, then as if a prayer had been answered he head someone speaking on the other side.

"Warren? You still there mate?"

With a sigh of relief Warren hit the Comm unit in response.

"Where you been James? What the hell happened?"

"Well I got good news and I got bad news, which do you want first?"

"Whichever you want James, I don't care at the moment."

"Well we are currently running outta fuel, our hyperspace engines are outta commission and we lost a good part of the left hull."[i]

Warren let out a small disgruntled sigh, but what else could he do about it?

"So, what's the good news?"

James pondered for a moment before he answer him again...

[i]"That was the good news. The Bad news is we somehow got shot out of Hyperspace, seems we cut through a Space Battle, we lost. The way I figure is we got hit with enough firepower to send us flying out into the unknown, but with no hyperspace engines and fuel running low we have no way to stop, no way to know where we are going, and basically no chance to live."

Warren buried his face between his hands, not being able to comprehend how this could be happening to him. He seeked answers in the force before he spoke again. Suddenly as if a voice spoke into his head it was clear as day.

Stop

"James, throw the ship into reverse. That should gives us enough energy to jump out of Hyperspace and find a place to land."

"Sir, begging your pardon but have you gone mad? The reverse thrusters could kill us if it doesn't work. Plus what are the chances of finding a place to stop at? We don't even know where we are."

"James, trust me. I just have a feeling, call it the Force guiding us ok."

"Force this, Force that, well sir, if your "Force" Doesn't help then we are screwed, no other way around it."

Suddenly the ship jerked back once again, almost causing Warren to lose his footing. Luckily it lasted only a moment as the ship came to an all to silent halt.

"Sir, you won't believe this, but we got a Planet in sight."

Warren all to well know what James was talking about as he looked out the Portside windows, looking at what seemed to be a barren planet.. Warren lost himself in thought as the ship closed in on the planet...

"I don't know why, but I got a bad feeling about this place. Almost as if something does not belong here...."

[Gon Du Val]

Gon walked up behind her master and smiled. She heard him speaking to someone.

" Where are we going Master and what has happened to the ship? "

[Dacian Zade]

"Owwww...."

Dacian moaned softly, as he slowly regained conciousness. He felt a small amount of liquid on his forehead, and a trickle of blood rolled down to the tip of his nose. The Jedi Padawan snapped his eyes open, and looked around. His head was pounding with pain. Rolling onto his back, he saw Gon standing beside Master Warren. Slowly, he sat up, and stared over at the two.

"Master.. what happened?"

He shook his head slightly, then looked around. They were still in the ship.. That was a good sign. Atleast, He hoped it was. Turning back to Warren, he waited for an answer..

[Gon Du Val]

Gon smiled as she heard the Owwwwwww. From the other padawan.

" Well Well Well he does live. And here I thought he was going to sleep forever. "

[Warren Azalin]

"We are in danger....."

The words left the Jedi with a heavy heart, and a heavier burden. He had brought his Padawans with them and left them unknowingly into danger; maybe it would have been safer if he had told them to get on one of the daily shuttles to Yavin IV, after all it would have been better to lose a few hours then to be stranded on an unknown planet...

"Wa..en, W..ren, can you r..d me?

The Comm unit began to buzz through a wall of static, somehow the planets atmosphere was playing havoc with the Ships electronics, the first sign that something had happened to the planet not long ago. Warren could now see below, at the lifeless wasteland that lay before him. He could see what seemed like a small city below them, he had seen at least two others like it as the ship headed downwards, all he could see was a symbols standing out all over the planet...
<img src=http://warrenssigshop.clanhappy.com/sigs/bwsym50.gif>

Somehow the symbol struck him as familiar but he could not exactly place how? How could that symbol mean anything to him? After all they where on an unknown planet out past the Outer Rims. He would ponder this question over and over in his mind as the ship came to a rest on the planets surface....

"We're here Sir. Scanners show no life forms except maybe vegetation. Seems whatever happened here ended a long time ago... I'd say maybe twenty years, if not a little more..

"Twenty years? Are you sure?"

The same thought rang through his head a few times all in the span of a moment....It can't be...

"Well I'm not sure, but these marks are years old, at least twenty, maybe more."

It made some sense now.. for the first time that symbol finally made sense. The winged figure, the barren wasteland, the time span...
<img src=http://warrenssigshop.clanhappy.com/sigs/bwsym50.gif>

It was, it had to be.. the symbol of...

"Ambrelia...."

[Dacian Zade]

“Ambrellia? What's that?”

Dacian stood up slowly, and looked over to his Master. Walking over to a window, he looked down at the planet before them. Was that Ambrellia? He wasn't sure.

“Warren.. is that Ambrellia?”

He said, pointing to the planet.

[Gon Du Val]

Gon had little to say. Rather cause she had nothing to do about the problem at the moment. She stood next to her Master and just watched.

" Master what is going on? "

[Warren Azalin]

"What is Ambrellia? Warren.. is that Ambrellia?”"

The Jedi only stood looking out the window in solem silence. He didn't know if this was really Ambrelia or only a planet that fit the description almost so well that he wanted it to be true...

<font color=lightblue>"Master what is going on?" </font>

"I don't know..."

The Jedi had broken his silence to say the words he was sure his Padawans did not want to here "I don't know". He figured they where in trouble, but he would rather not tell them, at least not yet...

"Warren, you still with us mate?""

The comm unit had come on again but Warren was already used to it's buzzing on and off.

"Yeah, I'm here James, what's the Status?"

"Well while we still haven't found any life on the planet we have detected some building."

"What? Like Huts?"

"No Sir, bigger, like a settlement."

Warren had remembered seeing something of that description as they where flying in for a landing.

"You think it's safe?"

"No clue sir. Want me to check it out?"

"No, I'll go check it out, but I'll need some help..."

Warren turned his attention to Dacian and Gon. It seemed both were willing to go with their Master but the fact still remained that Dacian was still injured.

"Gon, come with me..."

Warren turned to her his equipment before heading out. He would wait for another report from James and he would wait for Gon to get ready.

[Gon Du Val]

Gon looked up as her Master said her name.

" Yes Master.."

She walked over to where he had motioned to get her things together. She grabbed a small carry bag and placed some food inside. Her blaster was already clipped to her belt. Still dressed within her tan and white she walked back to her master and awaited the reply from James.

" Master Azalin where are we going? "

[Warren Azalin]

"No Idea, but that's what we're going to find out."

Warren had walked back into the room with his Jedi Robes on and ready for anything. Along with his robes he came back with his saber strapped to his belt.

"Let's go find out what exactly happened to this planet...."

Warren signaled for Gon to follow him as he looked at Dacian.

"Be prepared, if anything goes wrong I'll contact you Dacian.."

Dacian nodded as Warren and Gon began to leave. They knew that only a whiles walk away lay a city that no one had seen of been heard of in over twenty years. Warren had no idea what he would find there, but he would soon find out, and so would Gon.

[Gon Du Val]

As the two stepped out side of the ship the sun started to beat down on them. The heat of the planet could be felt even threw their boots.

Her Master walked infront Gon as she made up the end of the two man caravan. She looked around and noticed lots of old buildings that could no longer stand. It looked like the whole world had been blown to hell and back.

The young Padawan watched as the sun started to set as the two made it into the main city. Gon looked around as Master Azalin looked inside of a building. To her left she noticed another well standing buiding and decided to go for a look of her own.


~~

Inside of the building she noitced that it was at one time a shop. Pieces of old and now rusted parts could be seen on the floor under all of the sand. Looking around Gon noticed a box that looked beat to hell on the out side but it was locked on the inside. She found a way to get the box open and found pictures of a family, and other iteams. Inside an envelope that was under some of the pictures was a recipt mark 20 years ago this very day.

Startled at the fact Gon gripped the box and made her way to the door she had entered from.

" Master Azalin..."

Gon looked around and then noticed her Master up the street a little ways.

" Master Azalin you have to see this! "

[Warren Azalin]

The Jedi had been conducting his own search of buildings and had only succeeded in finding odd weaponry and artifacts. It seemed the people of this planet where not human, or if they where they where a bit advanced for their time. Whatever the problem Warren needed to keep searching for answers.

"Master Azalin you have to see this!"

Warren heard the call of Gon and raced to her, almost expecting danger. Instead all he found was her digging around in a box.

"What is it Gon?"

The Jedi stood silently letting the grip on his saber become more relaxed.

[Gon Du Val]

Gon held the small box out to her Master.

" This, these, here! "

She handed him the pictures and then the recipt. The family's portrait looked perfect like just taken, but the recipt looked old and faded.

" Its from 20 years ago. "

Gon kicked at the sand that was pileing up on her boots. Her tan uniform was getting dirty thankfully the dirt was the same color.

" What all did you find? "

[Warren Azalin]

"I haven't found a damn thing...."

The Jedi Master looked around the room quickly, as if trying to place something he could not put words to.

"There is a strange force at work here. Can you not feel it through the Force?"

Warren could feel the taint of the Dark Side in the air, he could still hear the screams of the dying people and could taste the Hatred and Malice that lead them all to death.

"We should head somewhere else Gon. I saw a Temple not far back. Maybe we can find some answers there."
