"Cut the chains," Maul ordered. The guards released me. "Summon Kenobi." He promounced "Kenobi" with intense hatred. I was beginning to get nervous. Two guards left.

I looked around. The paintings of Satine were gone. The windows had black curtains over them so no light could get in. There were a few candles and ceiling lights, but that was it. It was kinda dark.

A guard was holding my wrists together. I decided to not try anything "clever", as they say. Maul was seated on the throne with 2 sabers strapped to his belt. One was recognizable. The other looked like the Darksaber I read about in the archive textbooks. Very dangerous.

The guards then came back empty handed. "He's not there sir."

"Excuse me?" Maul asked. This was not going to end well.

"Kenobi has either been illegally transfered or freed neither of us did it."

The other guard began to speak, but was choked to death in a matter of seconds by Maul. They were both dead. The designated dead body carrier took them out of the room.

Obi-Wan had escaped. It was just me. I had no weapon. Maul stood up and ignighted the Darksaber.

"I was left to rot for years because of Kenobi, and now, you shall pay for his mistake."

He jumped at me. I slammed my head into the guard behind me and jumped out of the way. He kept following me until he lifted me up and choked me using the force. I was helpless. The only reason I survived was the presence I felt enter the room.
