What's next?

Continue

Jereli: ...But no Jedi will ever teach you how to control your passions and prevent turning to the dark side. Now, you will learn that lesson too. We have covered it a few times, but now, you are going to face your biggest challenge about that.

Ranvi: And how is that going to happen, master?

Jereli: You will see, soon enough...

You arrive on the planet. Felucia is a jungle planet, covered with giant plants and all sorts of wild plant life. Currently under the control of the republic.

Lana: I wonder what we might learn about controlling our passions here...

Drek: I certainly have zero passion for this place!

Ranvi: Come on guys, don't be like that! We are finally away from the temple again!

Lana (whispering to Drek): I think I know who is going to have to learn to control her passion at this place...

Drek: Yes, that is certainly clear! Wait, master... My sensor doesn't pick up any civilized signals in our vicinity... Have we landed at the wrong place? This is far from any settled area of the planet!

Lana: I sense... the dark side here...

Ranvi: Master, what is this place?

Jereli: Follow me. This is the planet's lesser known area. The locals avoid it, as it has been tainted by the dark side. The farmers wouldn't be able to farm in this area, the cultivated plants might eat them instead... You are going to have to face your inner darkness here.

Drek: Soo, we have to cut the plants down that would try to eat us?! Is that it?

Jereli: No. This lesson will be far more than simply physical exercise. There are three paths ahead. You will have to take different ones. Remember your training and all will be well.

Ranvi: What is waiting for us...?

Jereli: You will know, once you are there. All lifeforms are touched and connected by the ****. Empty your mind and you will pass this test quickly. Don't give in to your emotions, nor deny their existence. That is the only way to understand the ****. Go, I will wait for you here! May the **** be with you all!

You all look at each other, before setting out on your respective paths. You ignite your lightsaber, just as a precaution...

Jereli: You will not need that Lana. No harm will come to you on the path forward.

You look back at your master, but decide to proceed with the sabre still ignited. As you go further and further the trail gets darker and darker, the giant plants are blocking most of the light coming from above... You hear Drek crying out. You turn around and hear Ranvi call our Drek's name.

Jereli: Ranvi and Lana, keep going forward! Drek will handle it, this is his own trial! Yours is awaiting you too! Focus!

Lana: Alright, this will be alright... This will be alright... I will soon become a Jedi knight, there is nothing to be afraid of between some giant plants...

After a few steps, something touches your foot. You strike there with your lightsaber, but you find nothing there... Moments later, something grabs your hand with your lightsaber and knocks it out of your hand... You struggle to free yourself, once you succeed, you look at what has attacked you in the dark... It was the tentacle of one of the giant plants at the side of the trail! You try to pull your lightsaber to you to defend yourself from its next attack, but it catches it first... Soon its tentacles are all around your body!

Lana: Damn, I was never good at mind control if it had to be used on animals or plants...! I have to free myself before it kills me! Wait... what is this plant doing...?!

It has started to strip your Jedi robes off of you... You are even more terrified to find out what it may actually want from you than if it just wanted to kill you!

Lana: Fuck, this can't be! What should I do?!
