It was the next day on Taanab, Jason and Amara didn't get much sleep as their thoughts had dwelled on what transpired yesterday. They had come to raze this planet of its people and resources to fuel the war engine that Ajunta Pall sought to rage against the Jedi council and the Republic.

Jason continued to lay in his bed even after waking up. His night was full of visions of the future. Of a Jedi Knight that would rise to war and save the galaxy from one of its greatest threats, only to return some years later to conquer it for his own under the title of Dark Lord of the Sith. Another vision of a Dark Lord of the Sith that would come to be the founder of what the Sith would refer to as the Rule of Two. Another vision showed a powerful Sith Lord that rule the galaxy after decimating the entire Jedi order during his time. The other visions after that were all jumbled together and blurry making it hard to decipher what was happening.

"Is this what Abeloth has in store for me next, or is this something else entirely..." He said to himself as he wondered what it could all mean. He looked towards the door of his room as he could hear his padawan stirring around in the house. He could sense her uneasiness about it all and continues to wonder if he did the right thing by joining Pall and his followers.

He sat up in his head and began to rub the crust from his eyes and then the top of his head and thinks about all his actions that he has done since he has been here.

"Is this how I really am? Am I truly destined to be part of the dark side of the force?" He said softly to himself as recalled the past few weeks. He couldn't tell if these actions and feelings were his own choice or are these created by Abeloth to control and manipulate him to do her bidding. He drifted off into his mind until Amara had snapped him out of it by startling him for, she had come into the room with breakfast and he hadn't realized it.

"Sorry, was doing a little daydreaming that I didn't hear you come in Amara." He said with a smile on his face as he took the tray of food from her and began eating. "No problems master." She said with a fake smile on her face as she could sense that he was concerned about something but didn't pry into it. She took a seat next to him on his bed while he ate his breakfast.

"What is that you wished to ask me, my padawan? I can sense your reservations about what we're doing here." He said as he was taking bites of his food waiting for her response. She sat in silence for a moment gripping her pants leg fearing what might happen between her and her master. She took a deep breath before saying… "Master I'm terrified what's happening to the other masters and well, to you as well. I mean the amount power and strength that you all gained is immeasurable and scary. I'm scared of myself because I can't not be around you or lose you master; I won't let it happen." Amara said as she shed a tear down her cheek.

"Amara, we've been over this. You are not going to lose me and I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Now stop worrying about it so much, I have everything under control." He said with some resentment in his voice towards his padawan. She looked at him with sadness in her eyes and nodded and said, "Yes master…" and she got up from the bed and left the room and house.

Jason sat their regretting just now how he talked to Amara, even though it needed to be said, I could have said it better he thought to himself. After having sat on the edge of the bed for a bit he finally got up and went to the bathroom to shower and clean up. While he was shaving, there was a knock at the front door. He cleaned off his face and through a tunic on before answering the door. When he answered the door, it was Master Dreypa standing before Jason.

"Master Pall request your presence along with the rest of the masters" Dreypa said with a disgruntled look on his face like he was annoyed by something. "I understand, is everything alright Master Dreypa?" Jason asked with concern in his voice by the look on Dreypa's face. Dreypa merely just grumbled at Jason and walked away. "Note to self, don't make Dreypa mad today" Jason said to himself.

Jason met up with the other masters in the village leaders building that was in the center of the village. Master Pall was standing at the front of the room while everyone else was sitting or standing around the room waiting for a few other masters. After waiting a few minutes, all the masters had gathered, and Master Pall had raised his hands to silence everyone.

"My fellow Masters, today we spread across this planet like a dark cloud, conquering all in our path. We will bend the minds of the people that do not follow our will. The resources that this planet has to offer will be the start to fueling our great war machine. Once we have taken all that we can from here, we will strike at the Jedi Order hard and fast. We will show them the true might that we possess, and we will make them see the error of their ways and acknowledge that we are superior! Today, will be the start of our rule!"

All the Jedi were in accordance with Master Pall and his ideals, even Jason agreed with Pall even though he knew how it was all going to play out. Maybe it was the lure of the dark side and Pall's alluring charm and ability to inspire others to his cause. Jason could the creeping feeling of Abeloth stalking in the back of his mind pushing him closer to the edge of the dark abyss. When Jason quickly realized, he quickly began shouting no as loud as he could in his head to stop her from advancing further into his mind.

Jason snapped back to where he was in the meeting with the other Jedi, the feeling of Abeloth gone from his head, but he was sweating as if he had just run from a stampede of Rancor's. He had only been out of it for a minute, but it seemed so much longer than that. Abeloths influence was becoming increasingly more aggressive into his mind, he was getting worried that she might find out about the dagger. He couldn't lose focus, or he would surely be disposed of by her.

After taking a moment to collect himself, he returned his attention back to Master Pall and the meeting. Pall was informing the masters of his plans of spreading out over the planet of Taanab and conquering all those that were here and gathering all the resources that would be useful for the upcoming war that we would be waging on the Jedi Order. This included people, food, credits, weapons and star sh.i.p.s and everything in-between that.

The plan was that Master Pall would lead a force of Jedi and dark side spawn in one group, Master Dreypa would lead another, XoXaan and Sorzus Syn would lead a group, and Karness Muur and Jason would lead the last group, spreading out across the planet like a dark cloud engulfing all in its path like a plague. This plan would take place in 3 hours' time after the groups of Jedi and spawn be evenly dispersed.

After Pall had finished laying out the last few details, the meeting had concluded, and the masters left to begin preparations for the operation. On his way out of the meeting hall, Master Muur had stopped Jason before he could leave.

"Master Jason, would you accompany me, I wish to show you something" Muur said with an ecstatic smile on his face. "Of course, Master Muur, what is it you wish to show me?" Jason said with worry in his thoughts by the look on Muur's face. "It's, something of a breakthrough in mine and Pall's work" Muur said slyly with that same smile on his face.

They left to return to Muur's house that he was staying at. Muur reached to open the door, and as he turned the knob to open the door, he turned his head to face Jason. "Try not to freak out when you see them" Muur said with a happily crazed look on his face as he walked into his place. Jason was fearful of what he was about to walk into…
