Star Wars Legabeck Episode I: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 21

Donotyr was staying in his room when he heard loud bangs on his door. The Ignominies had broken into his room to get him there and they were sent to bring him backstage of the assembly room.

Screaming echoes through the halls as they drag Donotyr towards the assembly room for execution only for Vinith to appear, shooting the Ignominy in the leg as he screams from pain.

"Leave Donotyr alone! You move one bit and I will shoot you again...just try..."

The other Ignominy held Donotyr close to prevent him from escaping, while Vinith and the Ignominy engaged each other in a blaster duel until Vinith was suddenly stabbed in the neck, which caused her to collapse to the ground.

Donotyr cried loudly as he saw Vinith lying there as his Ignominy retainer held him very tightly to prevent him from escaping. Another Ignominy thrust Vinith with his dagger repeatedly to make sure she was dead, as Donotyr watched in horror. The retainer dragged Donotyr backstage, screaming, wailing loudly, and trying to break free. Soon, the other Ignominy followed, now covered in Vinith's blood.

Deng, on the other hand, soon noticed that the door of Donotyr's room was broken. It was then that he realized that the Ignominies had captured Donotyr.

He walked and walked until he saw a dead ranger, lying on the floor, that looked familiar. Deng immediately recognized the dead ranger as his friend Vinith. He noticed that Vinith had been stabbed in the neck so badly that her head was almost severed from the attack.

"The Ignominies stole everything from me! Those wretched worms will pay for what they did to our beloved leader Fugmius and my friend Vinith! I would not let them not hurt Donotyr as he's the only friend I have left besides Zena!" Deng said as broke down in tears as he walked to the backstage area, believing Donotyr was there.

"D- do you still want to live!?!," an Ignominy snarled to Donotyr as his retainer pushed him down to the ground.

"Y-y-yes," Donotyr nervously answered.

"Then, renounce those stupid duties of yours to Yirrim!"

"B-but I can't... I have to protect the galaxy, and I can't deny it!"

The Ignominy was infuriated at Donotyr's response.

"If then, make sure to beat him up and prepare him for execution," the Ignominy calmly ordered his Ignominy companions in the room.

A group of Ignominies surrounded Donotyr, violently stripping him of his top wear and his boots before brutally beating him up, weakening Donotyr, as he struggles to get up before going to the assembly room while he huffs around trying to get out but can't. Suddenly, someone approached the Ignominies, trying to rescue Donotyr.

"Stop it! Just...don't do any more harm to my friend." Deng said as he pointed his blaster at the Ignominies.

Deng challenged the Ignominies to a blaster duel. They responded by bringing out their blasters as well. While Deng and the Ignominies were busy shooting at each other, Donotyr, although struggling, seized his opportunity to escape from his impending doom.

Donotyr swiftly left the room and left the building by climbing down a nearby window, although struggling. He stole a nearby ship to leave the planet of Yirrim.

He was able to leave the planet, however, his ship crashed into the nearby planet of Trore. Luckily, Donotyr was slightly injured by the crash and miraculously survived, although unconscious. When Donotyr's consciousness regained, he used a huge piece of metal from the crashed ship as a crutch but fell from time to time on the sandy grounds due to the injuries he sustained.

"A-Are you okay?" a man said as he was rushing to aid Donotyr who collapsed to the ground.

The man has dark blonde hair, a brown blindfold covering one of his eyes, had a slash across his face and wore tan robes and a brown cape.

"I was part of a group once, from a planet called Yirrim. I left for a reason, I-I-I just need help... b-b-but may I ask, who are you?," Donotyr answered the man as he sat down a bit.

"The name is Terrcon Nelvor," the man replied.

"My name is Donotyr Lawsma."

"Ah, you remind me of a certain Jedi who fought in the battle of Esainoth," Terrcon said as he took off his cape and draped it over Donotyr's shoulders before he sat down.

"This cape is yours," Donotyr said as he removed the cape and handed it back to Terrcon. "It seems embarrassing as it's like I just met you, and then you just gave me your cape."

"No, no, no, it's fine, you need that more than I do," Terrcon said with a small smile as Donotyr put the cape back on his shoulders. "Just give it to me when you're done using it."

"Well, thank you," Donotyr shyly replied, putting the cape back on his shoulder. "Is there anything I can do to repay what you have done for me?"

"I want you to find my Padawan Vinna Celwik and put her back on the path to becoming a Jedi. Ever since she disappeared and I became blind in one eye, I felt like I had lost hope until I saw you."

Donotyr feels confused, but he becomes more aware as he recalls events from his past.

"I know who will teach you Jedi arts. My former Master, but I heard that he is now the count of his homeworld, Serenno. It's a bit far from here. I don't know if he will accept you in his household, but I most likely, he will take care of you and take you in with that appearance and situation."

"Come on, the Ignominies might find you here."

Terrcon then held Donotyr's hand to assist him as he tries his best to walk, even though he was weakened by his injuries.

They boarded Terrcon's escape pod, to get to the planet of Serenno, where Donotyr will be treated and cared for until he gets back on his feet.
