Light and Darkness

Eighth Brother and Maul

I'm planning on Lita returning to Darth Vader. I don't know when just yet. Also should Lita call D3PO something else besides his full name? I also decided to make this chapter a little longer, because I have some things to take care of, so I don't know when I'll update again.

Please vote and comment.

"Not that it isn't good to see again," Ezra said to Lita, "But what are you doing here?"

"We're here looking for knowledge and if possible answers," Lita tells him, "You?"

"The same," Ezra answers.

"Did either of you see the other ship that landed here?" Kanan asks Lita and Quinlan.

Both of them looked confused as to what he just said. "The only ship we saw was yours," Lita replies, "Well actually D3PO saw it. But still your ship was the only one we knew of that was here."

"Chopper saw two different ships when we arrived here," Kanan explains, "We now know that one was obviously yours. The other ship we were tracking disappeared somewhere here."

"Well the only one we were aware of was yours," Lita said. "And I don't see any other ship."

"But that doesn't mean we can't track to where it has gone too," Quinlan replies, "And you said it disappeared around here?"

"Yes I don't know where it is, but it's got to be around here somewhere," Kanan said, "Chopper try to get a fix on its location." Chopper beeps and salutes him.

"You better stay with Chopper," Lita said to her protocol droid, who gave a nod as the five Jedi and nexu began walking around.

"This crater wasn't naturally made," Quinlan points out as they step up to one of the pillars that were just standing alone from each other.

Lita looks up at the pillar, feeling the darkness radiating from it, they reach the base of the pillar, finding ancient words that were written left behind. "What are these things?" Ezra asks as the look at the writing.

Getting a closer look Lita answers, "It looks like old writings."

"It's in the old tongue," Ahsoka answers as she looks over the words.

"Can you read it?" Kanan asks.

"Maybe, but Quinlan is a better than me," she answers, looking at the Kiffar Jedi, who was rubbing his chin. "I can make out most of it, but my language is a bit rusty," he answers then began to read over the words in the old tongue.

But Ezra and Lita look at the words on the wall, as if they were in some trance as they step forward, reaching their hands out.

"No! Ezra, Lita, don't!" Ahsoka cries out, but it was too late. Their hands touch the wall of the pillar, creating two overlapping red handprints.

The red then travels down the pillar and to the ground under their feet. All of them yelled as the ground crumbles away and they went falling, the gravel fell with them, they hit the ground and tumbled away. They lay there for a moment then slowly push themselves back up.

"Is everybody okay?" Quinlan asks as everyone got up.

"Yes, Yeah, I think so, I'm fine," everyone chorused.

"I'm sorry Master," Lita apologizes, "I don't know what got into me."

Quinlan sighs, "It's okay Lita just remember to be mindful."

"Yes Master," Lita replies.

"What is that?" Ezra asks as he and Lita walk up next to Ahsoka and Quinlan.
