When the sun rose over the ruins of Great Library, a reverent gasp escaped Ty'kh’s lips. The massive ruined temple, with its hundreds of stone passages, stairways, and statues, rose up like a hand reaching for the sky. Kingwood trees pressed against each side, pulling at the stone in an attempt to reclaim it, and the massive moat surrounding the main entrance shimmered orange and gold. In the distance, columns were the only complete thing remaining of an isolated secondary edifice, everything else had worn and crumbled – their decay the only marker of time in a place of uncounted days.
As a scurry of Gokobs passed him by, Ty bounced; he was generally not easily frightened, but something about the unspoken grandeur this place impressed upon him a sense of unease. Thankfully, in a few minutes, he'd be climbing the cobblestone stairs, sustaining the gazes of the few Jedi statues still standing, to gain entrance into the half-crumbled main building of the complex. It had taken twelve long hours to get here on foot, but despite all the obstacles, he’d finally arrived.
History had long forgotten the cause for its destruction, but the site was still frequently visited by pillagers. Ty'kh, himself, had been sent to investigate the ruins of the Library of Ossus by his organization. A reed-goose's chase as some would put it, a sort of initiation rite for he had been ordered not to return until he found something worthwhile. There were still those within Crimson Dawn who doubted his determination to join their ranks, for Ty was not your average criminal and they could not relate to him.
The young scoundrel doubted he would find anything really interesting within the weather-worn halls of the forsaken temple, but he was determined to at least try to prove his detractors wrong by applying his signature creative thinking to the task at hand. He had opted to take the journey alone for he mistrusted the other members of the syndicate as much as they him, but right this moment, as he was about to take his first step through the archway to gain entry into the vestibule and his courage threatened to abandon him, Ty would have given almost anything for some company...
