Backtracking (Daria)

Deep in the Iron Citadel, Naj sat in a dusty room rarely frequented by the other members of the Krath. Besides himself, the last member of the Krath to step foot in the room was Salem Ave, whose deception was recorded thoroughly in this very room.

The Krath Archives.

Naj himself had inked Salem's leaving of the group, just as Salem had inked Naj's entrance. His purpose here was for something completely different this time however. It was the third night in a row that he had come here, reading through some of the more ancient text in the room. His focus was the transgressions of the old Krath, led by Satal and Aleema Keto. He read of the spirit of Freedon Nadd, whose dark council had led the two aristocrats here. Tonight, he'd asked Daria to join him here, so he could share his new knowledge as well as a few ideas of his own with her. Neatly written on a sheet of paper were directions that would lead her through the winding hallways to the archive. Naj had left the directions in her room, along with a time for her to meet him at. That time was drawing near, and he expected her to show at any moment...

The Iron Citadel was not familiar to Daria, who had spent the majority of her time in Naj’s tower, but she managed to navigate its hallways with surprising ease. The map was very clear on what to do and so even without the aid of a light she found herself striding into a great bookcase filled chamber soon enough. It was just like the library of the Kuto, only perhaps a little more organized.

“Good evening,” she folded the map and pinned it on her hip underneath her belt.

“What are we researching?”

"The Krath of Old, the ones who left this place for us to settle in"

Naj glanced up to Daria, who had just walked in...

"Im glad you came."

Laying on the desk in front of him, a few books had been laid out and opened to pages of particular interest to Naj, most of which pertained to Jedi Expatriate Freedon Nadd, whose decendants ruled the planet Onderon. One book imparticularly detailed the location of the tomb of Freedon Nadd, on Onderon's Demon Moon, Dxun. From what he had read, Sith Lords of old were buried with numerous Darkside artifacts, presumably so only those strong enough to survive the tombs defenses could access these items of power. He suspected that Freedon Nadd's tomb was no different.

“There was a Krath before this one?”

Daria glanced at the books. She wasn’t quite properly versed in reading yet. She had mastered Basic, to a level, but only for speaking. The characters all looked foreign to her.

"A very long time ago. They occupied the very building we are in now. Much of the text here was printed by their own hands..."

Naj smiled toward Daria. The bond between them seemed to be growing. He felt more comfortable with her now. He'd never developed any kind of emotional attachment to another person before, so he found it strange that he wanted to share his plans with her. No matter how amibitious they were, he felt that he wanted her at his side, to share the wealth and glory with him....

"I feel bad that I havent taught you to read basic yet. These texts contain knowledge posessed by nigh many people, but I would like to share that knowledge with you...."

Daria gave a loose shrug and smiled somewhat.

“You can relate the information too me, give me the condensed version.”

Never the less, she still peered at the books.

“I didn’t realize there had been others here before you. What do these books say about them?”

"They detail the entire history of the group. From their beginnings, to their accumulation of power, and their ultimate destruction..."

Naj nudged the chair beside him out, hinting for Daria to take a seat.

"I have also seen mention of a Dark Jedi named Freedon Nadd. Apparantly, he was the one who guided the Krath's founders, Satal and Aleema Keeto to form the group. "

Daria slipped down into the offered seat and nodded as Naj spoke.

“Freedon Nadd… did he do a better job than the founders of your Krath did?”

"He came to the original founders as a spirit. He helped them rise far above their former selves. the founders of our Krath gathered everyone here, then disappeared. They feared what they created. I refuse to let our power go to waste, as they did."

Naj cast a glowing eye toward Daria as he finished his statement.

"The books mention the location of Freedon Nadd's resting place, on a moon called Dxun. I wish to see if any of his power still lingers there. Im also curious to see who makes up the royal family of Onderon, the planet dxun orbits. History repeated itself in us, I wonder how much has been repeated there...."

Daria stretched, nodding. This was turning out to be more interesting than she had imagined it would be.

“So to Dxun we shall go?”

"Soon enough. Dxun isnt the friendliest of places. Freedon Nadd's tomb was placed their by the Jedi, so that others wouldnt be able to use its power. Onderon is a bit more habitable, we should travel there first and try to gather as much info as we can..."

Naj closed the book in front of him...

"I need to get these books back in order, and we'll be ready to go. The trip will be fairly long, so you can start packing if you'd like..."

“Alright then,” Daria pushed herself back up to her feet, gave a little wave then headed out.

She went to the tower and started to pull together some things, gathering them inside a small close-fitting bag that would be concealed easily beneath her cloak. Strapping it and her covering cloak on, she made her way back to the room Naj had been reading in.

“Ready.”
