CHAPTER TWO
THE COUNT OF LOQUS
KIARA
Woah, look at the size of them!
MORTEKAI (O.S.)
One of the rarest collections in the galaxy.
ATLAS ORA
Julius.
MORTEKAI
Jedi Master - Atlas Ora. It's been quite some time.
2.7 hundred-millionths of a galactic year,
in fact, since our last encounter.
ATLAS ORA
We thought you were dead.
MORTEKAI
Yes. I'm sure you did.
MORTEKAI
I have a new name...
MORTEKAI
An ancient Sangeerean name meaning "Master of Death".
MORTEKAI
Mortekai.
ATLAS ORA
Then my visions speak truth and the dark side has returned.
MORTEKAI
Dark side? The light. Always one or the other with you Jedi.
Twas the very reason I left the Academy.
ATLAS ORA
You were expelled.
MORTEKAI
I see you have a new apprentice.
ATLAS ORA
That's nothing to you.
Where have you been?
MORTEKAI
Learning.
MORTEKAI
I would assume the Council doesn't know you're here.
They never would have sent you, of all people.
ATLAS ORA
Whatever you're up to needs to stop. It's not worth it.
MORTEKAI
Worth it? What a splinter of perspective.
MORTEKAI
Come! I'd like to show you something.
MORTEKAI
The Glowing Azharian Watersnake. It's one of my favorites.
MORTEKAI
I own the last three in the galaxy.
Every single one of these titans was once extinct.
Forgotten by their own worlds.
I saved them.
MORTEKAI
I have nothing to hide.
If you Jedi are looking for darkness and death,
you bring it with you.
