[Jedi Mission]
Hunting the Hunters
The Pantheon had begun as the largest of these townships, upon which the Cragmoloids had built high walls and higher columns, seeking to construct a monument that would stand throughout the ages. Now, weathered by sun and sand, the Pantheon remained a myriad of stone walls and rock spires; a sanctuary and resting place for the oldest and wisest of the Cragmoloids, whose wearied limbs no longer sought the open plains.
Ethan had to concede there was a crude majesty to the place, but it was is a Cragmoloid-made marvel. Nothing more.
The Jedi drew close to the outer walls and spared a glance back to his Starfighter, secured on a ridge some distance away. He hadn't wanted to offend any religious sensibilities by landing any closer, but it made him slightly uneasy to be so far from his means of escape. The Cragmoloids were increasingly proud allies of the Jedi, but their mutual enemy was still unidentified. If they knew that Ethan and his companions were here to expose them, then the rocky spires of the Pantheon would make an excellent venue for an ambush.
He banished such concerns from his mind, passing under an arch and entering the vast halls of the structure. A Cragmoloid was three times the size of a man and it showed in the temple's design; wide open courtyards were joined together by generous, stone covered walkways, while there were numerous avenues in and out. Ethan made his way through silently, drawing his white cloak about him.
He could sense many of the creatures up ahead, perhaps even his Jedi counterparts. They would all convene, here among the stones of the Cragmoloids' ancestors. Then they would learn of the forces threatening this world and set about expelling them.
For Ankus would be free again. The Force would make it so.
