Malachor.
The site of an ancient Sith Temple, a crucial battle of the Jedi and Sith, and many secrets. Many, many secrets.
Currently, a young girl was walking through a yard of statues.
These statues, she knew, were more than structures of. These were all fallen Force users, victims of the Sith Weapon within the temple looming above. It was like art, with the stone figures twisted with emotions of pain, rage, fear, sorrow, thrill... all frozen in terrifying eternity. As the still, silent world around her made little sound, the hooded and cloaked acolyte stood there in awe.
This was history. A history frozen in time to be remembered. A memorial, a sacrifice... a piece of art...
She took another step forward, but the silence of the world around her was shattered by her boot pounding on an object. The girl looked down to see a lightsaber, tossed and forgotten upon the ground. It was a standard hilt, regular design. Yet, she bent down and picked up the weapon. Who's lightsaber was this? Was it wielded by the Jedi, Sith, or some rogue? The dust that had collected on it coated her hand as her pale thumb pressed the button.
From the lightsaber activated with a rough, low shriek. The blade with yellow, the color of the ancient Jedi Sentinels. The lightsaber's blade cracked despite not being used in a fight, and as soon as it was activated it shut off again. A loud spark ignited from the other end of the rusted metal hilt. The girl then worked frantically, pulling the hilt apart and freeing the crystal from its Jedi Prison.
The yellow crystal fell into the palm of her four digit hand. She gazed upon the ancient crystal with the face of an artist.
"I will make you beautiful again."
She then looked up. In front of her was the glorious temple of an ancient Sith, a super weapon. The Temple had so much to explore, unpack, that she shivered in anticipation. The Dark Side called her as she put the crystal in her pocket.
"Now this Temple," she scoffed,
"Has never faded in beauty!"
Gwyneira Craft, Sith Acolyte, continued her march into the gates of knowledge.
