The sky was as black as he could remember. When last I glimpsed it…when last I lay my naked eye upon it…when last my empty socket mirrored the welkin… He was dazed. He confirmed it as his thoughts turned into pandering verbosity. When last…I lived…
The darkness of outer space was there in the night sky, but where were the stars? Where was the sun? Where was the other one? They…they are…gone… Blink as he may, try as he might to peer beyond the shadows that swallowed the light, the mere man could not see any light at all. It is…gone…
In the silence, in the absence of sound and light, there was no time. There is only…me…and I am no mere man. He stared poised like the point of a sword and for the first time Kayden Skyler felt awake. That’s no night sky… He affirmed upon hearing a growl echo from all around him. That’s a ceiling of rock…and this is a cave…
He woke up. Now it was time to get up. The first thing Kayden felt for was his crotch. No mere man. Then for his lightsaber. Not here. Then he felt the cold rock beneath his naked flesh. Not naked. Just a pair of tattered trousers. They were as black as this pit of death.
He felt the bones scattered around, the hair, the strips of skin slick with blood, and for half a heartbeat Kayden expected one of his victims to be dangling from the ceiling, flayed and forgotten. Not my torture chamber. Another beast’s. Whatever den the Sith found himself in on whatever planet, well, it was time to meet the beast. Coming my way already…well…come see. Come play.
