Selene arrived at Korriban in hopes of finding a clue to the secret of the location of either Luster or the truth about Lucias. As she took the military shuttle down to the surface she was expecting it to give off a darkness, but it was a void of nothingness. She thought the corpse of Amenos and his evil blade would have tainted the planet greatly. She figured the set of tombs on in a valley. This was because it most tombs contained legends written on the walls. Once she landed she headed into the valley and into one of the tombs.

Selene walked down the corridor walking very lightly trying to avoided traps. She turned left and continued to walk down the corridor looking at the barren walls. She though this was strange, most tombs walls where covered with hierographs of tales of the person life and what happen during it. She continued down and walked into a room. A large stone door slammed down behind her. She giggled at such a pathetic trap, then she noticed several corpse; skeleton to be more accurate and realize that these trap worked better then she thought. She continued to down the path, knowing that she could leave any time she wised thanks to her phase shifting ability.

Selene continued down through another door when she noticed a massive beast at the other end of the room. It seem not have a strong dark side presents which was the first thing in the Force which she could detect. She looked at the ugly beast as eating a dog looking creature but eventually turned towards her. She never seen anything like it before but it was known to many in the galaxy as a Terentatek. She studied it as it ran at her, she could tell it was immune to most force abilities so used the Shadow Arts and vanished from its sight.
The Terentatek stopped its charge and within a second quickly turned around to find that Selene was right behind it. She jabbed her lightsaber into its back but it swung around, getting cut, and hit her with the back of his arm. Selene sled backwards and into a pile of bones. She slowly got up and noticed that their was a lightsaber in the pile. She summoned it to her free hand and looked at the beast which was hurt but not very badly.

Selene pushed down on the activation button of the lightsaber and nothing happen. She thought the saber must be damage and slipped it into her robes. She planned to salvage some of the components of the saber later on. At the beast turned to charge her she vanished into the shadows of the room again, this time reappearing right above the Terentatek.
The Shadow Arts took Sokan to the next level, allowing her to get into a more favorable position like above the target. This allowed her to fall on it and attack from direction it was not expecting. As she came down she ran her lightsaber right through the top of its skull and as she slide down its back cut a saber size grove through hits brain and spine. The beast fell to the ground dead just as Selene landed on her feet.
Selene ranked the battle only a three in difficulty do to the fact that the room was a favorable combat area do to all the shadows. Before leaving the beast; Selene noticed one thing starting to stick out from the first cut which seem to have opened its stomach. She used the Force to pull out the object and it was yet another lightsaber. She could tell that it had been in some strong stomach acid and figured it would not work also. She placed it into her robes next to the other one and figured she would have a look at it when she got back to her shuttle. Selene started to go back the way she came, do to the fact that the room was the end of corridor and had no information caved on the walls. This lack of history was starting to bother Selene more and more.

Selene came to the wall which dropped down to trap her with the Terentatek. She continued to walk in a straight line and passed right through the wall. She came out the other side and continued on the same path out of the Tomb as she entered. The phase shifting was a very difficult and dangerous; you did not want to end up in a solid object which would be lethal. This ability was so dangerous and difficult that no other Shadow Guard while she was the Leader. It took her hundred of years to learn to do and thousands of years to be able to do it like it was second nature.
When Selene made her way out of the Tomb she looked around and noticed another one are the far side of the Valley. She noticed a pillar next to it and by the way the sun was hitting it, small shadows where being casted showing carved carved language. In her mind it meant that tomb may have more information then what this one had. She headed across the valley towards the tomb which held more promise.

Selene made her way to the pillar which had the carvings on it. She looked at the hierographs and realize she had seen something similar before on a planet. She thought back but could not remember the planet very well. It was so long ago, something like two thousand years ago. She continued to look at the carvings, slowly walking around the pillars trying to think of what planet she had seen those hierographs on.
After about an hour of walking in circles it hit her; the planets name was Socianis. There was tomb in it, it held a Sith Lord; the first if her memory recalled. The worse was it was a Luminos; one of there kind which had fallen completely from her grandfather's light. She thought back and remember that there was a translation form this language Luminos and to this strange language which was called Sith. She used the Force to help her recall more of it and the story on the pillar started to make sense. It told of a Sith that killed his master in order to steal a weapon of pure darkness. It was she continued to read the pillar and was shocked. This was the tomb of the Sith with killed the Luminos Sith Lord.
The thing that peaked her interest was the blade of darkness they had taken from his master. A blade which had been wielded by the ultimate darkness. This may have been the weapon used by the Evil King Amenos himself. Selene headed into the tomb hoping that there would be carvings with more answers.

Selene walked down the hallway looking at the walls. Most of the stories was nothing of use, talking about his exploits as a Sith. Once she reached a few hundreds meters into the tomb Selene was getting closer to the heart of the information she was looking for. Written on the wall was the story of the way he took the Dark weapon from his former master and the story of this dark master. She slowly read it as she walked deeper and deeper into the tomb.
Just as Selene reached the section of the story about just where the blade of Darkness came from when she hit a large stone door. She rubbed her which slammed into the wall. She looked at the door and realized it was fussed. Someone did not want to let people get into it. She was starting to realize that very few people in this galaxy had the ability to walk through walls. She pushed her hand, and then quickly pushed the rest of her body through. Selene looked around and seen the statue of Ajunta Pall along with his corpse. Someone had open up the tomb and a looted. She looked around for any more information about the blade of darkness however there was nothing carved inside the tomb itself. Selene lowered her head, just another dead end.

Selene turned around to head back out when a phantom appeared and blocked off the path to the door. This ghost was dressed in Sith Robes and was radiating dark side energy. Selene quickly summoned her lightsaber to her hand, but did not activated it. Selene spoke confidently and made an effort to hide any fear she had.
"Who are you and why did you just appeared?"
The Force Ghost expression was not one of a mighty Sith Lord, but one of a broken man. His eyes hardly ever raised to meet Selene's and he failed to scorn or smile. When he spoke, his voice echoed through the Force with a sorrow of a tortured soul.
"I... I... I do not now? A name that I forgot a long time ago. How did you get into my tomb, the door had been sealed after my sword was taken. I have nothing of value."
Selene looked directly at him. She did not understand why the Ghost of Ajunta Pall was acting like this. His action, speak and personality did not fit the standard Sith Lord mold. She continue to hold the lightsaber, ready for anything; however, she figured she would give the phantom some explanation.
"My name is Selene, daughter of Sylvanus, granddaughter of Lucias. I came here because I am looking for information about my grandfather and your tomb had stories of the Dark Kings weapon caved on the walls. I was hoping to get more information in this room, so I walked through the wall."
Selene felt she did not need to explain it any more then she did and looked at Pall. Ajunta eyes where still looking at her feet, lost and confused why she was looking at the stories. People where only interested in looting his tomb, not learning from his mistakes.
"If you where wise you would leave my blade alone. It is a weapon which corrupts the strongest souls and leads to a life of misery. I myself now realize this and wised I never took it from my master."
Selene felt the ghost was telling her the truth and really wised he would not suffer anymore. She looked at him, however this did not mean she trusted him any more.
"I want nothing to do with the weapon, I am only interested to the tale. I am on a search for the truth about my grandfather, and he fought and defeated the Evil King which created your sword. I was hoping I could find clues which well point me in the right direction."
The Force Ghost looked confused. He never thought someone would not want his sword, and thought she was lying to him. He looked up at her and stared into her eyes.
"You expect me to believe that, all would want the power that my sword offered. That is why the demon tried to use it to seduce my former friend. That is why the Luminos killed his own family."
Selene finally was getting somewhere. She continued to stare into Ajunta's eyes. She could tell he was not lying to her as well as he could tell that she was telling the truth. She thought about the demon because a demon could be same species as Luster.
"Could you tell me more about this demon?"
Ajunta Pall was shocked when her expressions confirmed her original claims. He thought back trying to recall all the information he could.
"I never knew him, he went by the name... the name.. Jack. He came from the planet of my former friend. I can not remember his name, but he said he was a Kumori. I do not remember more."
Selene bowed. "Thank you for your help. I well take my leave now. May you once again find Lucias' light."
Selene realize that her grandfather was not a god, but thousands of years think it had left its mark. She walked by the Force Ghost and walked back to the door to the shock of Ajunta Pall. Selene headed out of the tomb and back to her shuttle to head back to Chinina to see if their was any information on Jack.

The military shuttle took off and head into deep space to make its hyperspace jump. Selene had programmed the shuttle and head towards the back of shuttle. The shuttle contained four rooms in the back along with the loading and cargo area. Selene had one of these rooms converted into a workshop. She constructed her own lightsaber and ship parts sense few lightsaber parts where up to her quality requirements and ship parts because the ship was just so old.
As the ship entered hyperspace, Selene sat down and threw the two lightsaber which she found in the Terentatek den. The first one she started with was the one she recovered from the beasts stomach. The stomach acid had dissolved the majority of the casing and completely ate the power cell away. She slowly disassembled the lightsaber noticing that all the components where either damage or destroyed. The only part of the saber which was salvageable was the focus crystal. She slowly pulled it out and looked at it. She could not identified it, but she could sense the force flowing through it. What was strange to Selene was that as she held the crystal, it seemed that to heal her wounds from the battle. This crystal could be very valuable and she set it to the side.
She then pulled out the first saber which she had originally saber she found. It did not activate when she wanted it so she had assumed it was damaged. She started to take it apart, but to her surprise it was in perfect working order. She started to think it was the crystal itself which was not working, but why would someone construct a saber with a crystal that did not work. She would need to look up the information on it when she arrived in a civilized system with a HoloNet connection. Selene put the two crystals in her robes because she wanted to learn their effects before placing them in her own lightsaber. She headed to her rooms to sleep before reaching homeworld of her grandfather.
