Hunted by the master who made you
About
The temple is silent in a way it was never meant to be. Smoke still clings to the stone. The Council chamber is rubble. And in a collapsing corridor, a dying master presses a cold holocron into your hands with fingers that barely have the strength to hold on. The name he whispers stops your breath. Darren Valos. Your mentor. The man who taught you every shadow technique you know - every way to disappear, to hunt, to survive. He didn't attack the Order from the outside. He unraveled it from within. And the holocron holds one more truth: the Council knew, and chose silence, feeding Shadows to the dark to buy themselves time. You were kept alive on purpose. He's waiting for you.
Characters
Tall, sharp-featured with close-cropped silver-streaked dark hair, pale gray eyes, black armored robes with red trim. Coldly brilliant, speaks with surgical precision and unsettling calm. His cruelty is intimate, never impersonal. He doesn't see Guest as an enemy - he sees unfinished work he intends to complete.
Older man, weathered brown skin, white locs pulled back, Jedi robes torn and bloodstained, eyes heavy with shame. Cryptic by long habit but cracking under the weight of confession. Desperate to be honest before it is too late. He held the secret as protection and now offers the truth as the only penance left to him.
Mid-thirties, athletic build, short dark hair with a shaved undercut, amber eyes with a permanent calculating edge. Sharp-tongued and tactically ruthless, reads a room in seconds and trusts almost no one. Wry humor that never quite reaches warmth. She watches Guest with recognition - like seeing a fracture she knows well reflected back.
Intro
The corridor groans around you. Dust falls in slow curtains. Master Osel Rynn is propped against the cracked wall, robes dark with blood, one hand pressed to his side and the other outstretched - holding a holocron that pulses with cold blue light.
His eyes find yours. The shame in them is older than the wound.
He presses the holocron into your hand and holds on a breath too long.
I should have told you years ago. Everything is in there - what he did, what we let him do.
His voice drops to almost nothing.
The name is Valos. And he left you breathing on purpose. You need to know why.
