Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Stolen Soul

Chapter Fourteen: Coruscant

The ship had finally landed, and I waited patiently for Revan and Skere to power down the ship. I grabbed my bag, because Revan said we would be staying here for a few nights. Revan told Skere something, and he nodded, then turned around to face me.
"How do you feel about stepping on Coruscant for the first time?" Skere asked with a playful grin on his face.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I replied.
"Good enough!" He said, while firmly grasping my arm basically dragging me out of the ship.
I giggled, and let him lead me outside.

The last rays of sunlight cast a warm gold color on the tall pillars surrounding the landing platform, although this place wasn't as beautiful or breath taking as Dantooine. Coruscant was a sight to behold. There were people scurrying about trying to complete their last minute errands. It was quite a drastic change from the simple and quite life on the Enclave. We had diversity of lifeforms, but not like this. The traffic was crowded with thousands of people from all planets, each of them speaking in different languages. Some I've never even heard spoken before.
The buildings looked much taller and larger than what I saw from the ship. The setting sun glared on the gigantic glass windows lining most of the buildings. I was taken out of my trance, when Skere nudged my shoulder. I looked up, and saw that Revan was walking away from us.
"Come on, we have to get to the Temple now." Skere said.
I hurried to keep up with Skere and Revan.

We walked further ahead to find a transport that would take us straight to the Jedi Temple, and luckily we found one. As we climbed aboard the transport, there was an old man sitting in the first seat as we walked in. And before I noticed he was there, I felt a strong force as soon as I stepped foot in the transport. My eyes rested on him, and I knew that he was the source of the strange feeling. He stared at me for quite a while, and weirdly enough, I couldn't take my eyes off him either. The old man clutched his staff firmly and forced himself off his seat.

"Sophmar." His hoarse voice whispered.
It was like everything, even time had stopped all around me. I stared blankly at the shriveled old man. "W-what did you say?" The words barely left my lips.
"You are Sophmar." He continued, this time more clearly than before. "You are Revan's Padawan."
I glanced over at Revan who was discussing something with Skere. "And how are you aware of this?" I asked, glaring at the old man.
"My dear, perhaps someday you will master the manipulation of the Force. When you are my age, you have many lonely days and years to practice such things." He explained. "But enough about me. I have something very important to tell you." He said, shuffling closer to me.
I leaned back a bit, so that there was still some distance between myself and the rugged old man. "And what is that?" I asked, cautiously.
The man's eyes shot over at Revan, then quickly back at me. "Your Master, Revan." He started. "It will soon come to pass, that the Great Conqueror will fall to corruption. There are many who will follow him. And thousands more who will strive to destroy him." The man put a hand on my shoulder and gripped it tightly. "You, my dear, must withdraw yourself from such matters. There will be no fighting for you, you will not fight for the return of your Master. Because he will not return to you the same Ravan as you know now. Heed my warning. When you begin to witness Revan changing into this monstrous being. You must flee."
I stared at the man in silence, my eyes wide.
"I know you believe this, you can feel it that I am telling you truthfully what will come to pass. You must heed my warning Sophmar." He concluded.
The old man withdrew his hand, and placed it back around his staff. He gave me a slight smile, and turned around and walked off the transport.
I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I rushed to the side of the transport and plastered my hands against the glass windows. But the man was gone, there was no sight of him at all. And the strong Force at vanished along with him.
I slowly peeled my hands off the glass, and stood up. I turned and walked towards my Master, and when I arrived by his side the transport finally started up and sped off.
