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.
