Duel on Praesitlyn

"That will be the last mistake you ever make, Adsec."

- Darth Abeonis

The Duel on Praesitlyn was a monumental duel between Darth Abeonis and Darth Adsec, following the latters murder of Katae-muri.

The duel
Darth Adsec raised his head, and stared at the Dark Lord in a state or rage, his lightsaber still ignited. Darth Abeonis took no time in making his intentions known, pushing Adsec far from his wife's body via the Force.

Adsec, regaining his footing then began his attack, proving his mastery of Ataru. Striking hard at the Dark Lord, Adsec easily proved his equality to the Dark Lord in lightsaber combat. Darth Abeonis, having to rely more on the defensive nature of Atra-Manua more than he wanted, was being pushed onto the back hand. Seizing upon his advantage, Darth Adsec spited the Dark Lord over the death of his wife. Making a particular point on how she had "&hellip;begged for [his] mercy&hellip;" and "&hellip;cried for Jasca&hellip;" before he stabbed her through the heart. Darth Abeonis, now more enraged than ever, used a momentary break in combat to conjure up a deadly "midnight black" which struck Adsec in his chest.

Darth Adsec, having been knocked onto his back, panted for breath. He had been lucky to survive Abeonis' last attack. As Abeonis stood over Adsec's exhausted body, Adsec mustered the strength to carry on fighting, launching Abeonis ackwards, and climbing to his own feet. As Abeonis did the same, Darth Adsec choked the Dark Lord, but was quickly repelled when Abeonis broke Adsec's concentration. Abeonis then used the Force to hit Adsec hard in the chest, knocking him backwards slightly, as he ran towards him and impaled Adsec through the abdomen. A slight smirk came across Abeonis' face, as he withdrew his lightsaber and then used it to decapitate his former Apprentice.

Aftermath
With his revenge satisfied, Abeonis ran towards the lifeless body of his wife. He could faintly hear the recognizable voice of Darth Wyyrlok from over the dunes, shouting for the Dark Lord to respond – he simply ignored it. As he sat, cradling the body of his one love, for the first time in over twenty years, Abeonis eyes had welled with tears. But even as those tears poured from his eyes, Abeonis could not help but feel anger for one person – Luke Skywalker.

Luke had allowed Katae-muri to take charge of the assault forces on Praesitlyn, he had allowed her to partake in the battle, and he had left her to the mercy of Darth Adsec. Darth Abeonis vowed that, one way or another, Luke Skywalker would pay for the death of Katae-muri.

As Darth Wyyrlok came into sight, Abeonis stood up, using the Force to ignite his wife's body and taking his wife's lightsaber with him. Walking away from the body, towards Wyyrlok, who was standing in silence, Abeonis would, for a brief moment, hear the faint voice of his former wife, echoing through the desert.

"I love you, Jasca."
