Something is hunting Darth Maul across the stars.
A presence he cannot touch, whispers that chase him from sleep. Answers seem to lay in a place he cannot go... at least, not alone. Before the Jedi and the Sith, before the Republic or the Empire, before the ancient Je'daii even, there were force users building temples and communing with the cosmic energies.
Somehow, even back then, there was a rule of two.
For Ben Kenobi, getting up each day is difficult enough, nevermind facing the past. He has one singular goal left to him: to be a guardian. A very distant guardian. Between the echoing emptiness of his cave and the war-torn memories that haunt him, he really just wants to be left alone.
Too bad for him that sleep-deprived sith lords aren't likely to take no for an answer.
[The long awaited sequel to Desertification is here!]
Tumblr media
🔥🔥🔥 Read chapter 1 on Ao3, or scroll below the cut! Updates on Tuesdays.🔥🔥🔥
Bridges are a beautiful weakness. 
This one is massive. Natural stone that reaches across a wide span between stronghold and barren cliff. The architecture is sharp, angular, and modern, with little in the way of ornamentation. It is simply a functional pathway, the sole point of access for a utilitarian facility. The forces garrisoned here would have little trouble defending this chokepoint, under typical circumstances. 
A zygerrian guard rises off the ground, clawing at their neck, while the next shoots wildly, hollering for backup. Blaster bolts curve off unnaturally into empty air. The first alien loses consciousness and slumps, still airborne. Their rifle clatters to the stone. The second turns and manages to flee two steps before they are swept sideways off the bridge like a leaf in a storm. They plummet, screaming, twenty stories down and into the lava below. With a lazy gesture, Darth Maul sends their strangulated comrade tumbling after them. 
Lords of the Sith truly cannot qualify as ‘typical circumstances.’ 
He begins forward again as the next defenders rise to stop him. The formation they take is practiced, but he can see their quaking knees, feel their fear in the air. 
If these fools truly wished to challenge him, they would be far better served by calling their forces back and turning the compound’s anti-ship cannons on its own infrastructure. Burying him alive might actually slow him down… but the cannons remain fixed on the sky, and figures in golden armor pour out onto the wide, windy bridge. 
The price of such short sighted arrogance will be their lives. 
Maul finishes churning through the first of the stronghold’s defense forces. He scatters a forward line of pikemen, shielding himself from blaster fire using stones torn from the structure itself. The occasional bolt slips past these rocks, but he simply bats those away with his saber. 
The slaughter of their frontline gives the next group time to prepare. He is met with a more cohesive unit, backed by snipers. The cover fire does them little good. Maul ruins their formation by blitzing carelessly into the middle of it. His red blades lay into the panicking bodies around him and parry the long range shots back to their origins with impeccable soresu. 
While he picks off the remaining snipers in their nests with a few force-propelled rocks, a new line of troops with energy bows come forward, firing in rapid sequence. It is… quaint, he thinks. Few have the dedication to make such a weapon into a formidable challenge, and these guards could not have matched the skill or power of a dathomirian archer on their worst day. Perhaps it is because these soldiers lack an edge of desperation -for food or survival- whenever they practice their aim?
Regardless, their skill or lack thereof is ultimately irrelevant against a man who can predict where they will fire.
Maul reaches the halfway point unimpeded, and the zygerrians finally switch tactics to something more innovative. The remaining guards part, and a set of twins emerge to close with him instead.
Each wields a halberd tipped by shining blue energy blades. They fight together, resplendent in fanged grins and fine armor. Their movements, obfuscated by swirls of shimmering gold cloth, complement each other with the skill born of what must have been decades spent training in tandem. 
Facing such talent is the highlight of his efforts thus far, but even these warriors cannot match a sith. He tears their blades from them, and stabs each twin through the chest with their siblings' match. They die propped up on the hafts, slouching toward each other. 
Blaster fire starts back up, and Maul returns to working through the rest of the chaff. The air begins to reek of desperation so strong it can be smelt over the sulfur. Acetone-bright and cloyingly sweet. 
Quick as a lightning strike, an electro-whip cracks near his head with a sharp snap-fizz . A waft of ozone fills his nose, and the sith's forward momentum stutters to a halt. Resentful yellow eyes lock on the offender and he bares sharp, iron-stained teeth at them. The tall zygerrian only snarls in return.
Hatred rolls off Maul’s shoulders like heat waves in the force. That energy coalesces, and entropy descends on the whip-wielder. Their fur begins to dissolve as if they were being nibbled on by acid that simply does not stop, and the muscular form falls to the ground, writhing and screaming. They melt into naught but blackened ash under Maul’s baneful stare.
He turns to continue on, sunk too deep in the flow and lust of combat to examine the demise any further. 
Slaves are thrown at him next, driven out onto the bridge as his assault nears the stronghold's three-story double doors. An effort he hesitates to call a 'tactic'. Half of the scrawny chattel fall to their bellies before he has even reached them, quivering and silent as they choose the potential wrath of their masters over certain death upon his blades. 
Those who fight he kills as quickly as they come. Living and dead alike are left on the ground behind him, forgotten as soon as they pass out of sight. 
More guards, with flashier armor and even finer weapons are next. Insignia and marks of esteem decorate their shoulders; the royal guard, here to die for their liege. 
A sai cha strike with his saberstaff, and a head hits the ground before the body knows it is dead. Cho mok and cho mai, double-disarmed at the wrist. Their owner stumbles and falls off the bridge in shock, fixated on the remaining stumps. An angled shiak, down through the ribs just far enough to boil the blood in their lungs. Mou kei to the left leg, and another trips off the side to join the rest in immolation. Maul spins in a flourish of beautiful juyo at the gate.
Sai cha. Sai cha. Sai cha. 
Then there are no more guards. 
He pushes the double doors open with the force, and smiles to behold the reason he came here.
"Prince Trifenra," his croon echoes in the silence of the throne room, "I warned you not to cross me."
The lone zygerrian slams a button on the podium beside them, and the floor falls away with them on it. Maul gets to the edge in time to be stymied by a bulkhead closing the hole over. He sneers at it in annoyance, and starts cutting through with his lightsaber. 
Twenty seconds, and he completes a circle of molten metal. A kick with his cybernetic foot sends the cutout falling, revealing a web of catwalks over a field of lava. He jumps. 
The sith searches the platforms as he freefalls, but Trifenra is nowhere to be seen. 
Maul lands on a catwalk with a heave of force to lessen the impact. His eyes drift closed, chest expanding as he breathes in, swaying in whichever direction feels right, focusing… focusing…
The force whispers to him that his prey is that way .
Maul jumps the rail and bounces between causeways, reaching the correct one and pelting down it. The feeling ends at an arch built into the rough stone walls. Thick metal doors, locked tight.
He snarls and starts cutting again, a small circle just large enough to admit him. The sith punches this cutout, and somersaults through without touching the cherry-red edges. 
On the other side are holding cells. Row after row, multiple levels of hexagonal doors stretch out from the entry, each sealed by lambent red. Some are empty, some not. All the prisoners are exotic in some way. 
Maul glances over the occupants as he passes, walking deeper into the facility. Trifenra is here, he can sense it.
The chamber widens into a large, multilevel room around a center platform. A dead end. The prince's possible hiding places have multiplied yet become limited at the same time. Maul's mouth quirks at the corner.
"Come out, come out. Wherever you are~," he sings in a sardonic drawl, like this is a game of hunter and prey between younglings.
The airscrubbers hum through the walls, creating a deep resonance just on the edge of hearing. Despite what must be a robust air recycling system, this room remains steeped in the scents of the enslaved; bitterness and despondency, melancholia and hate. A multispecies cacophony of emotions that make his sinuses itch. 
He hears wheezing laughter, like the rattle of dry grass. 
"Ssssweet, ssssweet, ssssinger…" calls a hoarse voice from one of the cells. The force twinges, a plucked string.
The source is… across the room, on a higher level. Maul can sense the force warping in on itself somewhere nearby. Curious, he leaps closer to it, up a story and over.
The cell on the left is marked as 214, and it contains a nautolan in a rare carmine color. She is heavily pregnant, and pressed as far to the left side of her cage as she can be. 
The cell on the right is marked as 216. It holds a crab-like species he does not know, with a shell that looks like molten, living gold. It is quivering in the back of its container, in the rightmost corner.
In the center cell is a woman with wide pink eyes and an abundance of platinum hair. Her skin is white, like a palliduvan, but with an oily, iridescent sheen. She sits in the center of the room, naked, hugging her knees and shaking with that dry, rattling laugh. 
Her pink gaze zeroes in on him, and her smile grows…and grows… and- 
Lips spread like split meat as she grins from ear to ear, her teeth needle sharp. Conversely, her eyes are kind above the unnatural-looking maw. 
"Blesssssed sssssinger~" she croons sweetly, "the lit-tle king plays a trick  on you. Deceitful. Rude. Give him t-to me and I will blesss your path!" 
She shouldn’t be able to move her jaw like she is, with those facial muscles severed. The force perhaps, magic or alchemy of some sort. He considers her, and the offer, mildly. "I am not easily tricked.” 
She smiles still, and says nothing. Her presence feels like a tangle of razorwire, writhing and clingy. 
"Hm.”
Maul walks away, stalking the metal floors and surveying the open room with thoughtful eyes. The prince is here somewhere, but there are enough strange projections from the prison's myriad occupants that it feels… cloudy.
A mirialan glares at him as he walks past their cage. The man floats a foot above his bed, rail-thin and cross legged.
A dry-looking quarren ignores him in turn, crying weakly into their hands.
He laps the room, and finds himself at the center of this fusion of zygerrian and modern architecture. A control panel sits on a dias, with a map of the cell block and various monitoring systems running. 
"Hm!" he comments, "How convenient." 
He taps the icon for cell 216 and tells it to open. 
The sound of a ray shield powering down is shortly followed by more dry, wheezing laughter. He turns to see the woman step into freedom and launch herself across the room, trailing yards of platinum hair. 
She lands in front of 107, and presses herself as close to the ray shield as one could be without burning. 
"Knoc-kk knnnock!" she croaks. 
The cell's occupant shrieks, falling back in their terror, but then scrambles to the shield again to yell up at him. They appear to be a salenga, but something… something is off. Maul squints, trying to pinpoint-
"I will pay you whatever you want! Anything!"
He cocks his head. Curious. How would a slave pay- 
Oh. Interesting. 
"Put her back in her cell and I will make you royalty! I swear it!"
The unnaturally white creature hisses, no longer laughing.
It is Maul who chuckles, walking to the edge of the center platform and clasping his hands behind his back. "A marriage proposal is it, Prince Trifenra? Now that is a… curious bribe."
He waits for the hope to glimmer in their eyes, then waves a hand in a grand gesture. The console registers a command from a finger press that is not there, and obeys it.
All of the cells open. 
The salenga shrieks again, and melts into a clawdite changeling as they zip out and go streaking away. They make it all of three strides before disappearing under shimmering hair and vengeful pink eyes. 
The next few minutes involve teeth, tearing, and unhinged sobbing. Maul watches for a moment as dozens of aliens flee on either side of him for the exit, then grows bored and turns to his comm. Dryden's secretary answers for him, a softly spoken pantoran with a penchant for ancient art. 
"Hello sir. My apologies, Mr. Vos is in a meeting at the moment. Should I get him for you, or can I take a message?" Sochu asks.
Maul waves off the first. "Simply inform him that the treachery has been dealt with, and he has my permission to begin renegotiating with the other offer."
"Very good, sir. Anything else I can do for you?" 
"Mmno," Maul says and hangs up.
His timing is good. The room has cleared and the strange woman is levitating up to the central platform, slathered in blood all down her front. Something wet and purple is cupped in her palms. She lands daintily, and he raises a brow. 
"Ssssinger, c-c-clever son~ You figurrrred out the trick-k, denied the trick-ksster. Gave him to us ," she smiles sweetly, too many teeth in her mouth. 
Maul hums, watchful.
"A gift!" she declares, and holds out… it’s a liver, or part of one. 
He accepts it, amused, with the smallest of bows. “My thanks.” 
The woman giggles like rotten wind chimes and turns to leap off the platform. She lands below and goes padding toward the lava flows, leaving a trail of red footprints smeared by passing hair in her wake. 
Maul considers the slick bulk of the organ in his hand. Dense, warm, and evenly toned purple. He holds it up and gives it a sniff. It smells healthy- clean blooded and rich, and the fight did have him feeling peckish.
"Mm… waste not, I suppose.”
He chooses a corner and slides his teeth in. The woman’s sharp, clinging darkness in the force gives a final twist and melts away. Maul chews thoughtfully on his way out of the compound, disregarding the blood that drips off his chin. His robes are already too stained for a bit more to matter.

I have been to many worlds. Some barren, some verdant. Some ripe with vitality in the force, others a wasteland where the cosmic energy is like a background hum and no more.
Dathomir is like none of those places. It is a quilt of energies. Bone numbing chill in places that overflow with the dark side of the force. Resplendent grottos so full of plants that the living force radiates and warms the area. Hollowed halls that pulse with potential, and barren stone that almost vibrates with the cosmic force.
Why did no one tell me my homeland was so incredible?

Top 10 First Bosses in Video Games
The last post I did on this site left a bad taste in my mouth because of how awful it was to respond to a yellow journalist, I thought that I would do a top 10 post as a palate cleanser.  One of the best things in gaming is when you face the first boss.  It sets the tone for how the rest of the game’s boss fights are going to work, and is a fantastic first challenge for the player.  Some games do…

In honor of May the Fourth, I pulled myself out of a painkiller haze and finally wrote down my headcanon about what exactly the Dark Side of the Force is.

[In-progress Obimaul, post TCW, updates tuesdays! New? Read the prequel "Desertification" on Ao3! 18+, Link at the end. ]
~~~~Chapter 9: Vacation Planning~~~~
He wakes, he fights, he rests.
He wakes, he fights, he gets up to eat, he rests again. 
He wakes, he fights, he almost manages to rest. 
He’s torn from the edge of sleep to fight, he rests again. 
He wakes, he fights, he gives the fuck up on further rest, staring in bleary confusion at the ceiling. Because it is pink. That is the wrong color for the ceiling to be. It should be… should be… 
'Come to me…'
… mother? 
'... Son of Dathomir, follow me…'
No. No! It is only the voices. There is no Mother to go to, only her empty sanctum, and he is determined to wean himself from its necessity. This task is not beyond him. He had not slept more than a few hours during a fortnight spent on the harsh surface of Mustafar, and again, when Sidious tested him against the army of assassin droids on Hypori. This present situation is far more draining than it is deadly. 
’Follow me…’
The pink cast to his vision is not going away. He had awoken to a headache during the previous attack and it is not going away either, the pulse of it behind his eyes is a continuous irritant. He squeezes them shut for the faint relief that pressure brings. 
A lazy sort of dizziness sways within him, in the flow of the force and the warm darkness behind his eyelids. Gravity twists sluggishly, focus eluding him just as keenly as sleep. These afflictions culminate in a relentless insomnia. Maul bares his teeth at the ceiling in a silent snarl of frustration.
’You should rest, brother.’
No.
’It is a hard trek through the swamps.’
No.
The voice shifts, rising in pitch and slowing in cadence. Mother, again. ’Now… sleep,’ she bids.
If only he had been-
Gentle fingers touch his horns and he whips around, hearts pounding. Had her spirit finally found the strength to..? 
Blue eyes and pale features meet his gaze, but the face before him is framed not in lines of black but a faded, bloody wine. 
Not his mother, just Vos, looking a bit shocked himself at Maul’s reaction. That expression quickly fades to… what is that? Something anxious, but milder. He squints at it irritably as a hand cups his shoulder and slides down his arm. Fingers squeeze his wrist.
“You look pained, my lord. What did you see?” 
He growls and sloughs flat onto his back again, palming his eyes as the headache spikes higher and vertigo swirls like mixing paint. The other man only shifts closer despite his silence. Cool fingers skim up his arm, tracing the edge of black along his collarbones. Solid. Real.
“Keep trying to rest, won’t you?” the man breathes, “Our little family is out hunting in your name. Save your strength for the time of action. I will remain at your side until then… if it pleases you."
Fingers brush his cheek and Maul gathers himself enough to snap at them, but Vos only dodges his teeth and makes an admonishing sound, amusement clear in the force. His touch wanders lower, stroking the markings down Maul’s chest and ribs instead. "Easy..." 
Oh, he should put holes in the man for this. For the presumption, for startling him, for the… the rest of it. A cool palm smooths over his skin, erasing the trails of fingers gone by, only to start anew on the fresh slate. He works up a growl, but between one scattered, irritable thought and the next it loses out against his state of being.  
Voices whisper at the edges of his perception. A low, metallic creak rumbles in his ears, emanating from somewhere inside the solid rock of his bedroom wall. A few breaths later, dripping water, landing in heavy, impossible plaps against his left temple in time with the ache pulsing through his skull. Vos’ wandering hand moves to his head again, dragging a long thumb claw along his forehorn. The ticklish vibration neatly drowns out a phrase of Mon Calamari opera music. It is overstimulating in its own way, but a few passes later the sensation of water drops ceases as well. 
Vos should not be encouraged so, but… he is a tangible presence, as opposed to the cloying sensation of the attacks. Or the phantom brush of ghosts. 
Weight and warmth, the sounds of calm breath and that singular heartbeat on the fringes of his perception. Vos’ senses may not be as sharp as Maul’s but he is far from inept. A pair of eyes and blades in the dark, their loyalty secured by spilt blood and greed. All of it offensive, yet it weighs on him like satiety, the fulfillment of a nightbrother’s instincts to have a bedmate dangerous enough to matter. 
Vos croons something he does not hear. Those cool, real fingers move back and forth across his pecs in a soothing rhythm, and soon enough he is gone. 
… and then he wakes.
"Mnnnnegh," Maul groans, sitting up as the threads start to spool. 
"Mmmn?" asks a lethargic voice to his left. 
"Hngh," he replies, dragging himself up and moving on autopilot for his mother's sanctum. 
The gossamer strings try to catch him, but readily slip away. He waits it out standing on the center circle, eyes closed and half awake. When the effort is done he meanders all the way back to his kitchen, and starts making a decanter of caf. It is late enough to be early, and that is good enough for him. Good enough for now.
Maul goes through the motions half aware with the same precision he would spare to a nightmagick ritual. Whole beans into the grinder, grounds into the filter, filter into the machine, clean water as well. Caf is brewed like the elixir that it is, and he stands to bear witness as it percolates. It would be any other morning on Dathomir for him, if only the stone countertop’s striations would stop flowing like lava. Tired lava, perhaps. The effect fades out after he digs his palms into his eyes and blinks a few times.
When Maul finds who is doing this to him he will need a bacta tank on hand so he can skin them more than once.
A carafe of warm beverage is prepared. Two clean mugs are procured. Cream. He has no taste for sweetness, but his guest does, and so he adds a tiny jar of nectar to the collection. 
Maul loads up a tray and carries the lot of it with the force, more steady with that than his current two feet. It drifts behind him down the hall and into the bedroom, where Vos is half lost in the pillows, sitting up and typing. 
"I have lovely news," the crime lord begins, far too chipper, "well, mostly lovely news. Though there is a complication." 
"Mnh," Maul grunts, setting the tray down on a carved shelf by the bed. He pours himself a cup with cream, and then fucks off to the canapé. 
"One of our agents has found a lead.”
Thank the fanged fucking god. “Mnn?”
Vos practically preens. “There's an extremely ancient sith temple under a jedi temple?” Vos says, tapping his elongated claw on his chin, brows raised as if that information was somehow provocative.
Maul grunts.
The other man rolls his eyes, presumably at the reticence. “Anyway, the whole thing appears to be dedicated to hiding secrets, finding secrets, numerology, mystical bonds, et cetera." 
The laggard sith snorts at the emphasis on 'under'. "Mnnss more common than you would think."
Vos smirks, inhales with a look of interest, then smiles winsomely as he points toward the freshly poured caf. "Some of that for me?"
Maul glares at him, then pointedly at the table next to him.
"Ah, wonderful!” the man says, helping himself, “As I was saying, the twin temples seem to be uninhabited and unopened for some time. No one knows how to open them… though I'm sure that won't be a problem for you?" 
"Hmn,” he replies. It was a stupid question. 
“Oh now this is interesting,” Vos continues, curled over his datapad like an oversized shrimp. "The temples are also quite elevated, and they seem to lack the usual pathways you'd expect. Stairs, causeways, and the like."
"Mnh."
"The only real issue here is that the location is technically a core world." 
Maul makes a face, then drags a hand down over it. A core world. Why.
When needs must, he speaks, "A risk, but not unthinkable. Although… a core world with an unopened temple? That does not add up.” Especially considering the jedi’s thirst to gather and restrict force knowledge at all costs.
The sith finds himself skeptical. Surely his former master would have conquered its challenges by now? His grandmaster had been voracious for secrets of the force as well. The odds…
Vos finally takes his first sip of caf, tsks and starts adding things to it. "Defenses, of course. Lethal ones. Impassable ones."
Expected, though… less common in jedi designs. "You are sure the temple above is a jedi temple? A force nexus of some kind?" 
"No?" the man offers with a flap of one hand and a shrug. "Maybe it isn't… but the pictures do look like one."
“Hmm.”
Vos tips him an inviting look over his caf. “Would you like to see?”
Maul stands with a sigh and goes to refresh his cup, then sits beside him. "Show me."
A few buttons are pressed, then the datapad is passed over to him. He takes it and starts swiping through the flat images. 
A massive stone tower, reaching up into the clouds of a mountain range. It sits perched over a sweeping river valley. The heights are like a fantasy castle, white stone and jade, windswept vine growth and gold filigree. The depths of it are a dark mirror, dripping stalactites and upside down bridges of obsidian. Silvery metalwork and amethyst beacons wind around its depths like musical bars. The pillar holding it all up looks unreal, alien, as if time had worn away the land but could not unmake that central piece. 
Where once there was a temple above and another below, now both are in the sky. 
The next image is a set of grand double doors with a mural of growing things, solid stone that presumably led into the temple above. 
Following that is a matching door, deeply recessed and foreboding. Its face is a smooth, featureless plain.
After these first few pictures are more, taken at range and with surveillance drones, capturing the various facades and designs of both structures. Or rather…
Maul explores them with his eyes. "I suspect this is only one temple. Where did you say it was?"
Vos sips his caf, seemingly satisfied now that he could not taste it over the nectar. "I didn’t. Hmm.. have you ever been to Palawa, my lord?" 
Maul hands the datapad back. 
"No," he says ponderously, "Perhaps it is time to change that."
The other man beams, his striations flaring pink with excitement. “I do love to travel.”

The secular-led
Informed nonbelievers know that the dark side of Christianity stands at odds with the specific teachings of its founder. By contrast, non-Christian philosophers have no secure grounds for correcting injustices. What basis, for example, did the secular-led French revolution or the atheistic philosophers of Soviet and Chinese communism have for judging moral behavior? How indeed can moral values be justified without appealing to a transcendent source of moral absolutes? ~ Samples, Kenneth Richard. ‘Without a Doubt: Answering the 20 Toughest Faith Questions. p. 206

The fact that I have a short series very very similar to this prompt yet want to write this sooo bad 😱
ok so superhero whump scenario:
Villain is Hero's favourite 'bad guy' to fight. Villain never really hurts anyone with their actions, and anything they steal is usually anonymously returned within a few days. The worst crime they've really committed is property damage. Hero is convinced they're just doing it for fun, as evidenced by Villain's very melodramatic and performatively cheesy attitude during their confrontations
Eventually, Villain disappears. Hero assumes they just decided to put down their cape and mask, though is a little saddened that they now don't have any real 'comic relief' in their day-to-day villain fighting.
A few months later, Hero is in Superhero's HQ when they come across a locked door they hadn't noticed before. Overcome with curiosity, they figure out how to get it open and take a peek inside.
Even without their iconic costume or mask, Hero would recognise Villain anywhere. Villain looks awful. Emaciated, bruised, scarred, curled up in a shivering ball in the corner of what Hero now recognises as a cell. How long has Superhero kept them here? And why? Hero doesn't know, all they do know is that this is wrong, and that their old rival needs their help, Superhero be damned.
