《Star Wars: Rebirth of the Sith》Chapter 5

Jadek looked around the room. It was a small circular room containing two things. On the wall was a large stone tablet with an inscription they read:
Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory.
Through Victory my chains are broken
The force shall set me free.
This was the code of the Sith. Quite a contrast to the Jedi code. The second thing in the room was a small lockbox that was open and displaying a Sith holocron. Jadek lifted and activated it. It displayed a map to the planet of Volik with the location of a Sith mask of power belonging to the Lord of Hunger. "Who is the lord of Hunger?" Wondered Jadek. The holocron also displayed the location of a derelict Sith battleship called the 'Pathfinder'. The location appeared to be around the destroyed planet of Malachor V. It was debatable whether or not the ship was still there because Malachor V has been destroyed. Finally there were details of a super weapon said to be onboard the Pathfinder. A weapon called the 'Force Cannon'. However it didn't give any other information on the weapon itself. "I need to report this to the council" thought Jadek as he destroyed the holocron by crushing it with the force. At least now the empires chosen could not obtain the location for any of this. "The truth is within your reach need you only allow it to beckon you" boomed a deep voice. Jadek drew and ignited both lightsabers. "Who's there?!" Struck Jadek.
"I am not here. Come seek me out and i will give you the answers you crave" said the voice again. Jadek was beginning to feel drained as the dark energy was growing rapidly. Jadek then realised the voice was the one that spoke to him in his dream. "That wasn't a dream. You called me to Korriban. Who are you?!" Shouted Jadek.

"The answers, the truth, the lies and your destiny will all be revealed but you mus seek me out. You must travel to The Valley of the dark lords and seek me out in the Tomb of Naga Sadow. You will know it once you see it. The Valley is a funnel of concentrated dark energy. If you are not strong enough it will destroy you. If you make it to me then you will be rewarded with all that you seek. The tomb also beckons you to take the artefact held within. But you must prove your worth" boomed the voice.
Then as suddenly as it appeared the dark energy completely faded. Jadek couldn't feel it anymore in the force. He instantly reached for his communicator and contacted Hira. "Master Hira, i have found and destroyed the artefact but i fear we must send our attention elsewhere" jadek said.
"Is that so? Please explain." Asked Hira.
"The artefact was a Sith holocron containing the location of a Sith mask of power on the Planet of Volik. The mask of the Lord of hunger." Explained Jadek.
"No!" Shouted Hira. "That cannot be allowed to fall into the hands fo the Chosen!"
"Master Hira, i have destroyed the Sith holocron so the Chosen will not find it" assured Jadek. "But who is the Lord of Hunger?"
"The mask belong to an ancient Sith Lord called Darth Nihlus. He was a monster of unimaginable power. That mask will wreak havoc and destruction if the chosen get it. I will dispatch Jedi Knights Na-Um-Tay and Lun-der Oss to Volik to destroy this mask. Return to the guardian for debriefing. the Queen has sent an assault fleet to taker care of the Chosen Convoy. We will need you to recuperate and lead the ground forces when we assault" ordered Hira.
"I have a small matter which i must tend to first master Hira' replied jadek.

"On Korriban? What could you possibly have to do on Korriban?" Asked Hira.
Jadek explained his vision and all that had transpired since including the summons that he received. "I need to find the tomb of Naga Sadow" said Jadek.
"No! Absolutely not! You will follow orders and return! You will not go to that Tomb, nothing good will come of it!" Demanded Master Hira. His tone had angered Jadek a little. This is something that Jadek felt he had to do. He may never get the chance to come to Korriban again. He disabled his holo-communicator and walked back up the stairs. He seen a valley from the rocks when he was scouting the academy. It wasn't far and he could easily get by the Chosen. He was so distracted by Master hira's complete rejection of his summons to the tomb that he didn't see the group of shock troopers and commander in the room as he walked out.
"STOP" shouted captain Tole. Jadek quickly ignited both lightsabers and spun round behind one of the pillars.
"Open fire!" Commanded Tole as the group of four shock troopers rained a barrage of laser fire towards the Pillar hiding Jadek. He had no option but to go back through the tunnel he entered from. But he was still going to need a great deal of luck. He needed to get out alive. 'Argh. I can't fight them all from this position and i cant reach that tunnel. I need to get to a better position." He thought. He gathered energy and dashed towards the staircase but Tole anticipates this and fired his own volley of blaster shots, one of which nearly hits Jadek and causes him to lose balance and fall, dropping both lightsabers.
"Cease fire!" Shouted Tole. "On your feet, Jedi. Keep your hands in the air." ordered Tole as all the troops had their rifles trained on Jadek. Tole moved slowly towards him. "Where is the artefact?' He asked.
"It's in that room... in pieces." Replied Jadek with a small grin.
"Then you have no use to me. Let this be a warning to your order not to interfere with the Chosen. Now you die!" Said Tole angrily. Everything suddenly seemed to slow down. As tole was raising his hand to action his troopers to shoot Jadek looked up and reached out with all the power he could gather and yelled "I am not dying today!" As he pulled his arms downwards and with a huge rumble the entire ceiling above the troopers collapsed killing them all. it caused a chain reaction and the entryway to the academy caved in, further slowing the Chosen progress. Tole was stunned and quickly raised his blaster but Jadek was quicker and force pushed the blaster far out of Tole's hand. He used the force and called both lightsabers back to him and as Tole drew a small vibroblade, Jadek ignited both lightsabers and in a flash, bolted towards Tole and pierced both lightsabers through him. Tole let out an agonising scream and dropped to the floor as Jadek deactivated both weapons. He needed to get to the Tomb of Naga Sadow. The ceiling collapsing would mean the Chosen would have to expend more units to excavate it so this would mean less opposition for Jadek on his way to The Valley. He holstered his lightsabers and headed back out he cave that he used to get in. "I didn't even have the opportunity to inform the Jedi about the Pathfinder, and now my comms are destroyed. No matter, there will be time for that later." Jadek said.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
8 188Chronicles of the dragon slayer [old version]
Julian was your normal happy go lucky kid in his younger years. He did everything that a normal 10-year-old that came from a relatively middle class family. Playing around with friends, going to school, and going on trips with his parents every once in a while. But life had other plans for his future than letting him grow like any normal teenager. At a young age his parents were killed, his friends slaughtered and family stolen. This had broken Julian completely, and hence he left on a journey to find strength to seek his revenge. But life was not yet done playing with his life, so it showed Julian that he had no talent to do anything that would lt him gain his revenge. It had become clear to Julian that the heavens did not favor him, so he left on one last journey when… ***** Ahhh I don't really know what else to add but ill write it here anyway, this is my first time writing a story, so I am still experimenting with things, so it is possible that you might find the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but I assure you the later chapters and things I have in plan will not disappoint you. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.

8 117MY Sweet Interlude
Aliya didn't realize she was in love with her best friend until he announced that he is getting married. With a broken heart, she attends his wedding where she decides to throw caution to the wind and play with fire with the man her friends (especially her best friend) warned her to stay away from. A man who is all play but stays away from commitments. How long can she keep on playing with fire without getting burned? "I don't know why you'd think that I don't want to speak with you. What you need to know about me is that I am not a charmer like Taehyung or Jimin. I don't sweet talk, I don't hold hands, I don't text unless it's something important and most especially, I don't date. I am not the prince from a fairy tale book who'd rescue you from your trouble and sweep you off your feet princess." **************************************************************************************************** Warning:Adult content, not recommended for below 18 yrs. old readers.***The story is purely fictional and does not reflect any of the BTS members' actual character.
