After talking to the floaty talking figure in the tree. We overhear other Jedi say that the ruins are over 21,000 years old which means the droids are also that old. They also say that zero non-force users have ever been inside these ruins.
-FLASHBACK-
When we first entered the ruins, I noticed a large door-sized white marble stone in the hill about ten meters past the entrance.
-END FLASHBACK-
I just noticed that there was an empty handed droid that is unarmed standing inside an alcove next to the stone covered by the roots of the normal-sized tree growing above the white rock on the hill and it is watching us. All the other droids are missing. A battalion of troopers with auto-cannons, padawans, and masters are gathered around the hole we found. Scouting party are being formed for reconnaissance on the ruins and some are being stationed in certain areas.
I asked the hologram in the tree what else we woke up and the hologram replied,"He's not up yet and neither is she."
"She?"
"Yes, there are two of them" stated the hologram matter-of-factly.
"What are them" I ask.
"They are two very powerful dark-side users."
"Sith, or before Sith?"
The hologram replies,"before Sith."
"How long till they wake up?"
"Good question. All depends on what you disturbed. Hopefully you didn't get too far into the vault. Hopefully they won't wake."
"All we did was open the door. We got freaked out when the dead people started moving."
We hear him chuckle under his breath and say,"I really need to thank that tech for that."
"What tech do you mean?"
"Oh, you heard that. His name was Tal'roc. He was a Twi'lek and liked zombie films."
A collective sigh is heard behind us when the news that the dead coming alive down in the hole were holograms. The hologram asks me to leave and a padawan comes and takes Fra'll and I to guard a mountain pass while he talks to our masters. The dark-force still pulses from below and every time it does the walls within the ruins glow white.
"What race are you?"
The padawan answers me,"I'm a Kathar."
She asks,"What do you think of all this?"
"What do you mean?"
She explains what she means by reciting everything that has transpired since we arrived at the ruins. She says something about how this is a minor problem.
Two robed figures enter the ruins, walk to the unarmed droid, bow, say a few words, walk to the Lady in White, said a few words, looked at Fra'll and I, then said a few more words to her, turned around and walked out, nodding to the droid, and left through the ruin entrance. Heard two speeders leave shortly thereafter.
My master approaches after talking with the Lady in White and says we are going someplace else, off planet, to a restricted planet to deal with some living force.
We leave the ruins on our speeders and make our way to the temple grounds and see everyone training for battle and several transports, seven to ten inbound. There are troopers and non-force users inside the sacred temple. Place is literally an army encampment.
Kaleth Ruins destroyed via explosion. Can feel the dark-side emanating from there at the Temple. See large smoke clouds rising from the direction of the ruins. Healing others for rest of day. Make it back to our rooms at temple after about five hours of helping and we end up having to share a room due to overcrowding of wounded. The hole that we found in the ground is now twenty meters by twenty meters crater. The droid that was unarmed at the ruins is now standing by the temple where it meets the mountain it's built into and it's holding something. I wake up, grab my ration box and head over to talk to the droid. I ask him two things: who are you and what are you holding?
He answers,"I am the protector. I am the one to see if you are worthy of the item."
I see the item he is holding is a wrapped cylinder. The droid has no rust and no signs of age, even though he is 21,000 years old or older. It says,"I feel that it is on purpose that the two awoke and destroyed part of the test. The other part of the test is to know what the item is."
He tells me it is the First Hilt. The first hilt is the very first hilt of the very first lightsaber. The hilt can still be used as a hilt for a lightsaber. The last time it was used was over 20,000 years ago. No one has proven worthy since.
Before I get to the droid I see him talking to a force apparition that's different than the hologram force apparition at the ruins. The outfit the apparition is appearing in is a cross between a Sith Lord and a Jedi Knight.
That's where we left off. Out next meeting will be in two weeks, Tuesday Night because of the World's Largest Trivia Contest. Until next time, safe gaming and have fun.
