Korriban Encampment
Morning Hour
The bright red sun of Korriban soon came over the church like structure where Pravus and the young boy had rested for the night. The boy had few belongings, only a small back-pack that only had a few shirts and pants. The morning light was accompanied by sound of the animals that surrounded the jungle around the structure. Pravus was the first to rise as he stretched and yawned.
He walked out to the opening as he threw a pale of water over the fire had been burning since the night before, cooking the boar’s meat and providing warmth to the two. Taking another deep breath he went to wake the boy… to his surprise had already been awake. Meditating.
“Eric… I am going to travel above these hills later in the morning. You can follow me if you want, though we wont return to the encampment for another few days to a week.” said Pravus as he pointed to the vast mountain range that was before them. Eric walked up to the side of Pravus as he looked to the beyond.
“I’ll follow you, but who will protect the ship?” replied Eric as he was referring to the droids and the cargo that they were carrying.
“Well, the droids will be here. They are armed and they’ll send a signal to me if anything is going wrong. I’d be more worried about what is beyond these hills. When I went to the water-fall yesterday, I noticed a tall pyramid in the distance. I intend to go there first… here take this.” said Pravus as he handed the boy one of his light sabers.
“You can hold onto that for now, your probably a better swordsman then myself.. “ said Pravus with a slight laugh as the boy smiled.
The boy started to ready for the trip as Pravus called his three work droids over to him.
“I want you three to start on the building of the irrigation and plumbing to the encampment. When we return I trust it will be finished. Me and the boy are going to venture to a nearby Temple and perhaps beyond. We’ll be gone for no less then three days and no more then one week. Protect the ship and cargo, call me if any mishaps should come your way.” said Pravus with a stern voice.
“Oh dear”, replied one of the droids.
“We will follow your orders, sir” replied the other droid as the last droid kept quiet.
Pravus nodded as he began to pack his bags also. He carried with him his laser sword, two blasters, and a few pairs of clothes. The boy brought the same amount of things, excluding two space-ship toys that he carried with him. All Pravus could do was smile at the innocence of his new young friend.
Finally the two left the encampment. They began to cross into the waterfall area where Pravus had first ventured and quickly made their way to the top of the waterfall through the side walls. Their in the distance was the pyramid that he had seen just the other day. It was magnificent and beautiful, gigantic in its massive size. It looked uninhabited. They would soon find out, none the less.
“Come on, Eric. We’ve got a ways to go. We should be their by mid-day.” said Pravus as they started down the backside of the waterfall.
