The Books of Oyja I: The Tenju
Chapter 2 Crash and Betrayal

It had been about 3 standard years after Kuhn Tenju had freed me. I had escaped, and the moocher, Ver, had been taken in my place. I should feel bad about it, but I don’t. I have been able to conjure some small powers that came along with Kuhn. It wasn’t much, but I felt more alive having it. Having something to use.

The deaths were something foreign to me. I was traveling in deep space. I was resting my ship so I could figure out where to go. A Caim, by the name of Lum Ka, had been chasing me. I had killed a friend of his before.

I was looking over things very fast. Star systems went through my head. Luckily, I had some of the most up to date star maps. One caught my attention. It was a planet near the core. A very little known one that I didn’t think many people knew about. The planet was Coruscant. That was where I would go.

I went into hyperspace and breathed. I felt tired sitting in the pilot seat. My ship, the Tenju, had a pilot room, a sleeping quarter, kitchen, and bathroom. I stared at the controls and got up. The silver of the ship radiated with power.

I walked out of the pilot room, went to the left, and into the kitchen. In the kitchen were some food supplies and a computer that was linked to the holonet. The holonet linked each planet. But it didn’t work half the time. My computer recorded the holonet whenever it could and then would file the information into different files. I got some coffee and sat down at the computer.

I looked up everything I could about Coruscant. It seems the planet was on none of the major charts. It was defiantly not a place to land. It had volcanoes blowing every second and very high heat. It would be a good place to hide.

Sipping up the last of my coffee I went and looked up Lum Ka. The picture of him showed a round head with the mouth pointing out. He was covered with brown and black fur. His eyes looked like that of a feline. Lum did not look like a happy man.

After that I cleaned up and prepared to exit hyperspace. I had to make five different exists to make sure I stayed on course. I went to the pilot room and made sure each jump was safe. I finally arrived at Coruscant and checked my sensors.

There seemed to be something and I checked it out on my sensors. It was behind me! I tried to out maneuver it. It shot at me and I dodged. I knew I couldn’t keep this up and live. I felt the power that Kuhn had given me and tried to push the ship.

One of the ships’ engines went out and the other ship went off course. I put all the speed I could get out of the Tenju and went to hide myself in Coruscant’s scant atmosphere. There was great wind and it was very bumpy.

My head hurt and I checked to see if anyone could see me. No one could. I found a relatively calm area and hovered over it. I turned on the holonet recordings. Nothing big was happening. A new order, the Jedi Order, seemed to be taking shape. Civil war was breaking out in a system and explorations were being set up on every planet. I made double sure none were coming here.

I looked down at the landscape. It was full of lava and volcanoes. It was active and not very welcoming. It was a good place to hide, though. The rocks seemed to be a blackish red with heat filling them.

Out of nowhere a ship shaped like a dragon came and went after me. I was buffeted left and right. I went up and down and tried to loose sight of the ship. I passed by a volcano and almost got fried. The dragon ship blasted at me. It took out most of my shields!

The next volcano I went by did get me. I can not describe the extreme agony I went through. I felt myself dying. I saw, through a haze, myself going to another place. I felt like nothing was wrong and yet I felt a pain that didn’t come from my body but from my soul. I felt it being ripped out of me and I went with it.

I was on a bed in a metal room. “What happened?” I asked.

“The Tenju took you’re soul.” The walls replied. “You shouldn’t have made the deal.”

Author’s Note: For Lum Ka’s description I tried to make it sound like one of a Cammaasi, which are a very peaceful people. I love the image of Coruscant being a planet not yet explored because it’s so different from the image we usually see of it.
