Korriban
The single planet in rotation around Horuset. Desolate and deserted, very little remained to show that this planet had ever been populated. Merely ruins at this point, the sith temple and burial ground statues and pillars lay fallen and crumbled. The remains of long decayed skeletons can be seen here and there. An occasional creature flew over head or could be heard growling and snorting within the darker caverns scattered across the surface of this inhospitable world. The very look of the place was enough to cause someone to loose faith in the light side. Luckily, she was not looking for a Jedi. But why here, in this sand and rock pit? As far as records showed, nothing was left of this planet. Any artifacts that may have remained had been long pillaged out. Why would he be here?
The dark haired woman stepped off of the modified Naboo Cruiser. The reflective metal that the hull was made of was darker than normal, dully reflecting the sun back across the sky. She readjusted the black mask across her nose and mouth as she looked around the desert plane she had landed on. She was only a short distance from where the former Sith Temple had been located in the planet. It would not take her long to get there on her speeder bike. She stood on the small outcropping of rocks, looking at the horizon, thinking. This was it. She knew he was here.
She had been searching for Zereth Lancer for ages now. Many time, she had lost his trail and had to start over again. She was unsure if he knew she was looking for him and covered his tracks to avoid her, or if he was running from something else. Any time she had managed to get close to him, within a system or a planet, his signature would disappear very quickly. Did he sense her coming? Or was it coincidence? But this time, he would have no chance to run.
The woman stepped back over to her ship as the cargo hatch opened up. She walked in and a second later was speeding across the plain on her bike, headed for the ruins of the sith temple. She hid her force signature from being detected by him now. She would not risk the chance that he could sense her and run from her once more.
