This would be a most interesting experience, and one potentially fruitful, by all means. The promise within this particular quest was too great to simply ignore, despite the fact that it involved venturing deep into the unwelcoming and protective Darthomir, a home and lair to some of the darkest souls that dwelled within the galaxy. There would be dangers, traps, and unavoidably acts of betrayal, a lack of good faith was indeed necessary to outlive the countless hidden shadows of the deceiving foes ahead; not only a means to remove the weak through a test of survival, it would also be a gamble, for few could remain without falling into complete madness once the whisperings of the monsters would start ringing in their ears and lurking within their minds, deep echoes of war and silent screams of fear in it's purest form would drive away the greatest of heroes in despair.
The witches of the night, had especially a mastery of such forbidden arts; left to rot and fade in the darkest corners of the places none would dare to walk upon. Their hatred gave life to their power as ages passed and the hidden knowledge was transferred from one maddened and broken generation to the other like a sacred tradition of the greatest importance, thus the foul words of power corrupted them; they were drowned in their own fears of turning into mindless abominations, their sanity was ripped apart by the overwhelming weight that they were forced to wield, and their fears conquered them, rendering the nightmares of the insane real. So they fled; vanished into darkness, taking away whatever ancient evil that resulted in their demise as they went. Thus fell the hidden power of corruption, enslaving the cursed tribe that uncovered it.
So tells the legends, of tribes lost and powers dark.
It had taken days just to catch wind of this most odd myth, even longer to track the source of rumors all the way to this very outpost deep within the unexplored and incresingly hostile jungles of this region, which was quite removed from the properly adminstated and stabilized parts of the planet itself. The journey was treacherous and exhausting, yet, Galad was now certain that this was the right path to walk upon, despite the fact it strongly felt like otherwise. It had been weeks since his campaign began upon landing at Darthomir, roughly around the far side of the hostile planet. All the travelling and tracking had led him here, where he was sitting comfortably on a chair, his legs put to rest over the table, crossed, a half-empty bottle in one hand, his hat pulled down, covering his eyes, making it difficult to notice that he was actually eyeing the door, awaiting to see the certain figure finding her way inside. His clothing was simple; one that was designed with the intention of avoiding unnecasarry attaction; the brown hat, cloak, boots and the travelling clothes. At a first glance, it would be extremly easy to catch one very obvious detail; they were dirty and worn-out, for he had been on the move for the last few weeks now. Each feature suggested that he was a normal traveller, like any other. Nothing less, nothing more. Save for the blaster pistol kept in he belt, perhaps.
So he waited, a whistle of his accompanying the soft tone of the music spreading from across the room where a holocron was playing, though it was lost amongst the common noises one could find in any cantina; men laughing and yelling around, overrated jokes and all. The tune of the silent whisper reached no ears, for it was eaten away by the black hole of music and rumbles, thus none realized it was actually the melody belonging to an old song of Naboo origins.
