Part I: Decisions
At the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, Jakkarin Hyle and fellow students Selissa June and Malara Jeen (who had previously had a romantic relationship with Jakkarin, but both agreed could not be continued due to the requirements of the Jedi Code) stumble upon the Rakatan ruins, where a spirit of a former Dark Lord of the Sith reveals himself to the trio. He demonstrates his power by wiping out an area of land where another Rakatan ruin sits, then sets his challenge to Jakkarin. His test is to kill either Selissa or Malara - if he refuses, then all three die. Jakkarin offers to give his own life to save them both, but the Dark Lord's spirit refuses. After a moment of hesitation, he decides that Selissa - being the more capable of the two females, the one whose future has been seen to a promising one where she stops a great darkness in the Galaxy, must live. For this reason, Jakkarin decides he must kill Malara Jeen, his former love interest. She begs and pleads, but he has no choice but to kill her. After he does, the two leave the temple in grim silence and return to the Jedi Enclave to report what happened.
