"Fuck! Oh shit, shit! Goddamn it!"
The moment he got distracted a bit, the rest of the orbs started flying off into the desert sands below… Fortunately he didn't fly that high, so they weren't damaged. But it was a pain in the ass to find them all again.
"Hmmm… Wait a second, what kinda shit luck is this? Force, are you fucking with me? Hahahaha~!"
Asmodeus found the ancient skeleton of a Canyon Krayt Dragon. There were actually some clear 'cuts' that he could recognize…
"Lightsabers? Wait a second…" Then he looked up and saw an ominous cave on the side of a huge sand dune…
"You've gotta be kidding me, right?"
'What happened? I feel… Something Dark.'
Asmodeus looked back and saw the slowly approaching gigantic Sarlacc. Compared to the Krayt Dragon in front of him, Sarry was a true colossus. Even without stretching her legs all the way, she was still about 40 meters from her belly to her back. She bulked up a lot since devouring that Greater Krayt Dragon. Most of its corpse was filling her entire torso and it would be a long time before it was actually consumed.
"We actually walked so far west that we ended up in the Eastern Dune Sea… And this place… I know this place. I almost fucking forgot about it. But, ugh. The Force really likes 'forcing' people to do shit, huh?"
'This place reminds me of something… From my childhood. Bad memories.'
"The Ratakan."
'Rakata Empire.'
"Rataka Rakata, whatever."
As they were chatting, Eldra jumped down onto a small dune and slid down to Deus' side. On the other hand, Shmi just jumped down directly off that huge, terrifying upper lip. Then some tentacles reached out and caught her, allowing the little daredevil Slave to land safely in front of her Master with a flushed face. Well, it was also burnt a bit.
"Master! What happened?" Shmi looked at the fourteen balls lined up behind Asmodeus' back, "It looks like you found them all?"
"I found more than that." He pointed backwards with his thumb and looked towards Eldra who was walking over cautiously, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, just not as reckless as I used to be…" She sighed and turned the power of her lightsaber to full, before igniting the blue blade once more.
"Master… What is that?" Shmi also took out her dualsaber again and adjusted the power settings, but didn't ignite the blades, just held the hilt with her right hand.
"An ancient relic from a fallen Empire." Asmodeus turned around and waved his hand. Those Dragon Pearls flew off into Sarry's mouth for safe-keeping. Then he grabbed his big black shaft and ignited the crimson blade, which made a loud, screeching cry.
"You feel it too, Kanya? Heheh~! I just hope this fucker hasn't turned into some kinda Old God in the past four thousand years."
"I don't believe in Gods. Only the Force."
"I hate to break it to you Eldra, but the Force has plenty of Gods." He shook his head and sighed, walking forward into the abyssal darkness.
The Dark Side shrouded this place deeply. That was the reason why the Rakata chose this location, but also, the reason why the Dark Side is so strong here is also due to them building their evil temple in the area. Now it's just a tiny cavern inside a sand dune, almost the same as it was thousands of years ago.
"Back then, Darth Revan had been mind-wiped and 're-trained' by the Jedi. He came here for a Star Map."
Asmodeus spoke as the three of them walked deeper into the cavern. Unlike the game, it was much larger. Even after a few minutes of walking, they hadn't reached the end. Though the swirling dark mists also made them walk in circles a few times.
"What was the map for?" Eldra asked, looking down at the creepy broken statues of egg-headed people.
"An ancient superweapon called the Star Forge. It literally devoured stars as fuel. Then used that power to create endless fleets, mechanical armies, anything and everything… But it was also fueled by the Dark Side. And corrupted or was corrupted by the Dark Side? I don't remember the rest of the backstory."
'Find… Me…' A deep, dark voice whispered into their minds. It wasn't Sarry. But not quite masculine either.
