The Cursed Holocron

Chapter 21 - Arriving at Nar Shaddaa, a change of plans.

Xim's meditation focused on the light side of the force, his weakest area, it was hard for him to concentrate on the light side of the force as it is centred around defence rather than his preferred offensive stance, he decided however to focus on the light side in general rather than learning a new ability to further his understanding and connection to this side of the force. He began to follow the teachings that Master Vandar had taught him on Lehon and went back through all of his uses of the light side of the force so he could strengthening the connection and feeling of using it. Lilith awoke to see Xim meditating and walked up to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before joining him in deep meditation.

Mean while on Dromund Kaas, Darth Baras was interrogating his prisoner, a Republic spy, who somehow discovered Baras's spy network. Out of options, Baras sent his strongest apprentice to the Dark Temple to retrieve an ancient torture device that would be beneficial to the inquisition. The spy, before dying, revealed information regarding an extremely gifted Jedi padawan being trained by one of Baras' oldest adversaries, Nomen Karr. In order to hide his spy network, and proof of the padawan's abilities, Baras assigns the Sith warrior to permanently silence his spies on Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa. The Warrior chose to go to Nar Shaddaa first in an attempt gain extra information or support for the mission in Balmorra.

A few weeks passed with both Xim and Lilith spending them in mediation, Xim kept his focus solely on the light side of the force while Lilith moved in between the grey side of the force and the light side of the force. Xim was awoken firm his meditation by the droid that was piloting the ship, they had arrived on the moon circling Hutta, Nar Shaddaa. They docked their ship in the nearest open space in the docking port and prepared for combat at any given opportunity, Xim was made aware of the potential threats on Nar Shaddaa by Lilith in their breaks, during the week meditating. They moved into the main area and moved towards the nearest cantina to gather information on where they could get physically slaves as well as some mercenaries as guards. Xim had planned to build his order on the planet of Dantooine however his home world of Lehon was also a contender for the position as it was far more defensible as they would be hidden by the large amount of the dark side force on the planet. He decided to buy the people he needed before making the final decision on the matter.

The Sith Warrior arrived at Nar Shaddaa to silence another agent of Baras , this time however Darth Baras's burned agents have fallen under the protection of Lord Rathari, an upstart Sith Lord. The Dark Council has placed him in charge of their interests on Nar Shaddaa, so Darth Baras's apprentice must act without drawing unwanted attention however he had instantly drawn Xim's attention to him, his strong dark side presence resonated with Xim instantly and he told Lilith "Here is the money to buy what we need, I have just discovered an interesting dark side presence on this moon and I plan to find out who it is and what it is here for, if the traders want to know where to send their merchandise, tell them to box them up and move them to our docking port. I will deal with it when I get back, make sure that they are strong enough to move the rubble and rebuild the walls in the temple, we will be going to my home world instead of Dantooine. There is a set of Jedi temple ruins on the planet that we can use for now,the bottom floors of the temple are still unexplored and there maybe stuff we can use to train ourselves and our apprentices on the light side of the force."

Lilith understood what he had asked and disappeared towards the nearest cantina while Xim tried to track down the Sith Warrior, he moved closer to the spaceport to pick up the trail. He cloaked himself with the force and trailed the source of the presence from a relatively safe distance away into a Empire controlled sector of the moon towards a corned off Imperial sector with a few rooms and two Imperial officers inside. Xim strolled into the room and immediately noticed a Sith warrior in battle armour, he concluded that this Sith was the cause of the presence and stood in the corner far enough away from the Warrior to remain hidden from him. A large holo terminal turned on in the room and a Sith in impressive armour began to talk " My apprentice you have made it safely to the safe house I have prepared for you on Nar Shaddaa, the Imperals here are for you to use to find my rouge agaent and the Sith lord protecting him. I believe you are strong enough to deal with him, I will put you in contact with with one of my best informers on this planet, she will have more information on how you can get access to your targets." The Sith slightly bowed before saying "Your wish is my command Darth Baras, I will meet with your informant as soon as possible."

He then left the room leaving Xim and the two imperial officers there, Xim drew the force around him and created his clone, he then whispered to it" Follow that Sith warrior, do not let him slip out of your grasp, I'm going to talk to the Darth Baras, then I will meet up with you." The clone hid itself with force cloak and followed after the warrior while Xim approached the two officers and removed his cloak. He began to force choke them lightly before saying " I need to speak to Darth Baras now, I would like you to call him back, there is no way you will get out of this alive if you refuse me however if you agree I will just disappear after my conversation is finished." The Imperial officers agreed instantly and began to call Darh Baras back, when the line connected Darth Baras looked angry and shouted "WHY did you call me back, wait who are you, I have never seen those robes before, interesting an unforeseen opponent has entered the fray" Xim smiled at him and said" My name is not important however I have the title of Patience within my order, I just wanted to ask you if you have plans for the padawan known as Jaesa Willsaams and if you do have them I would like to warn too stop them now. You can do whatever you want to her master but she belongs with my order not with a washed up Darth. Thank you for listening, officers turn it off, I have made my message clear, thank you for your help." Xim turned around and cloaked himself in the force and disappeared back in to the streets of Nar Shaddaa.
