[…] how the holocron came to be in the possession of this particular merchant, I could not say. He was selling the tome alongside cheap trinkets, decrepit motivators and assorted droid parts. His stock looked like garbage, but like many Jawa merchants, he was selling a few rare gems.The Tome of Achivaris was a collection of rituals and incantations that was first identified by the Jedi Order during the time of the Hundred Year Darkness. Whether the book was written during this time is not known and the Order has never had a chance to study the book properly, instead its history is a muddled mess of rumors and allegory.What is known is that the book never seems to stay with one owner very long and attempts to duplicate the book have failed. Sometimes the copies made are destroyed with their owners in rather dramatic fashion, if the records are to be believed. Other times more banal things seem to destroy the copies. One such copy, made by a Jedi who infiltrated the archives on Koriban, rest his life, fell victim to a read error that slowly but surely destroyed all of the data on the copy.The Tome was believed to have been destroyed three centuries before I found it by the Mad Knight Emphalis Tork’tonug who jumped a Sith cruiser into the heart of a star, killing himself and all souls on board in order to destroy holocron. Sadly, it seems, he failed.While I instantly recognized the Tome as a Dark Side artifact by its rather strange presence in the Force, it was not until I boarded my ship that I identified which artifact it actually was. I contacted the Council and I set course for the Temple on Coruscant immediately.We were set upon by pirates before we could jump. Indeed, this was the same pirate attack where I lost both my arms. The pirates escaped with the Tome and, though I have searched, I have never heard of it since.The mission on Tatooine was a success, ultimately, and the ambassador was returned safely to […]
A human stands in front of a large green creature. An Acklay. The robed figure, head covered in greying brown hair, paces back and forth, examining the creature. In the background, a yellow Twi'lek male, covered in heavy armor, is clearly chained the wall of the dark room."You made quite the mistake... Coming after me." The human says to the Twi'lek, "Now, most would have just killed you by now, but I thought I'd give you a parting gift first... You get the rare pleasure of watching my work."The Twi'lek, clearly afraid, responds in huttese, "Look man, it was just a job! I'm sorry, just let me go. I'll pa-""Silence!" He is cut off by a torrent of purple lightning. "I did not compell you to speak!"The human cuts off the electricity, turning to the oddly calm Acklay. "Now come, gaze upon my creation!"The human casts a buffet of dark energy at the giant crustacean, it screeches in rage and pain. The beast slowly begins to change, the crest on it's head growing longer, thicker, and covered in spikes. The creatures legs lengthen, and it's body grows larger and larger. The front two legs snap upward, bone being broken and reformed, until they resemble arms with hand-like appendages. The Acklay's teeth increase in number, it's mouth a jagged, shark-like maw. Finally, the green skin hardens, turning jet-black with bony spikes appearing here and there.The monstrocity is released from the energy, turning to the Twi'lek. As it charges, the Sith yells, "WITNESS THE POWER... OF SEVERINUS!!!"The Sith-spawn reaches the chained bounty hunter, picking him up with it's new arms. Both Twi'lek and Acklay scream as flesh, bone, and armor alike are shredded.In the background, sick cackling is faintly audible.
"Do not be one to let the WAR come to you. There is always choice, for as much as your heart knows, there is always hope."
