"How do you know?" Balor asked Ballen-Ist. "I can feel them." He replied. Balor led the party into the village square. The village was as quiet as a cemetery. "Most people think that Grievous was buried in the capital. That is incorrect. He was buried here. In that tomb." Balor said as he pointed at a small family tomb behind a stone cottage. "And that cottage was where my parents were killed. My sister was dropped from the cliffs. She was only four years old at the time." Balor said as he led them into the cottage. The cottage was clean and sturdy compared to the other buildings. Balor had cleaned it two years after the massacre. He had scrubbed the blood from the walls and killed all of the rodents that had snuck in to make their home while he was gone. Balor pointed to a corner behind the wood stove. "My mother was backed up against the wall there. She managed the kill one of her attackers before they grew tired of using lightsabers and opened fire onto her." Balor could feel the dark side all around. This place was a nexus of dark side energy. That was probably how his ancestor was able to manifest so strongly and clearly. He led Ballen-Ist up the stairs to a loft. Scorch marks littered the floor. "My uncle grabbed his rifle and sniped at them. He wounded several of them but they fire bombed the loft after my mother was lost. I rebuilt the house afterwards. My uncle was only a charred pile of bones when I found him." Balor led the group outside the cottage and behind it. "My father saw them coming and told me to hide in the family tomb. They beheaded him and tossed his corpse off of the mountain." Balor said without emotion. Suddenly a black mist rolled out of the tomb that was behind Balor's family cottage. It slowly spiraled upwards and collected into a figure. The figure slowly ascended to the ground. The mist rolled away from the figure to reveal a Kaleesh in battle armor. He had a belt full of lightsabers. This was Grievous. Before he became a cyborg. And the lightsabers were his trophies. "You return. With a Sith?" Grievous questioned. "Yes. He promised to help me." Balor said. "Ah, but at what price?" Grievous bellowed in an otherworldly voice.
