Digging up treasures for knowledge came as one of the best past times for Jareth Shral who recognized that Knowledge brought power; something that the Sith Code failed to teach. It preached about power being the fundamental pillar of the Sith order and their ways, but never did it explain how to come about gaining said power. Not through training as it preached a quick and easy path, nor did it speak about knowledge. Jareth though looked at it with a different understanding. Having been a former Jedi Knight and historian, he understood that true power came to those who took time to learn things. Even someone naturally gifted at something couldn't hope to master the skill without learning it after all... as was the case with the legendary "Skywalker" of his time. A Man who believed he deserved things just because he was naturally gifted, as the Sith do. It was his belief that he knew how to balance both, as his current master Darth Revan did. He balanced the teachings of the Jedi with those of the Sith, and created something that few others ever seemed to find. To achieve this though, Jareth had to Study, gain knowledge, train and then he could grow in power. That is what he did today. In the clone wars; the time he came from, the planet of Korriban was difficult to gain access to if you were a Jedi as he had once been. And even when he left that order it remained difficult to get to, but he had managed a couple of times. Those adventures paled in comparison to the things he could learn now though when his access to the planet was unrestricted (so long as he kept his Sith ties open) and now he worked in a tomb, uncovering secrets he didn't even know had been kept from him. Working on Sith riddles was rather simple for him, a little blood here, some lightning there and viola, the doors would open to you... the traps would disarm, and the knowledge and artifacts you looked for were yours for the taking. Such traps were impossible for mere mortals to pass through of course, but that was hardly a concern on Korriban... practically everyone here was a Sith or acolyte... But few of them followed the same path Jareth and Revan did. Just as he was taking an ancient scepter from the stand in Marko Ragno's tomb, Jareth could hear something behind him... Knowing the secrets of the tomb he felt it was safe to leave the scepter for a moment, locking the tomb again behind him as he explored to find the sound...

Arya coughed up dirt. She moved her arms, and was surprised to find no resistance, as up to a moment ago there had been compacted earth preventing her from doing anything except trying to keep her head up to breathe. She pulled herself up into a sitting position, though she was pretty sure she hadn't been lying down a moment ago. What had happened? Even compared to her level of normal, this was strange. Maybe some sort of teleporter?
She stood up, brushing dirt off her clothes and face. The adventuring business was a dirty one. Literally, and sometimes figuratively. Grey eyes peered out from under dirt-covered eyelashes. She was standing on what was clearly Korriban terrain, yet she could feel something different in the air. She had been in a tomb just seconds ago, dirt pouring down from the ceiling and she had been in the middle of trying to find a way out... and then she was here. How had that happened?
She looked at her surroundings more closely, and spotted a glowing object nearby; her prize. Whatever had happened, the artifact she had been hunting had been transported out with her. Bending over, Arya lifted it up and carefully stuck it in her rucksack. She was still curious as to what had caused her to appear here like this, but she knew better than to stick around here long. She had a familiar itching on the back of her neck, warning her something wasn't right. She had best head back to camp and make sure everything was okay. She only had the chance to take a few steps, before someone emerged from seemingly nowhere. She paused, recognition crossing her features.
"Jareth. How nice to see you. Are you well? You look a little paler than usual," her tone was mocking, and he never had appreciated the sarcastically friendly way she spoke to him. What baffled her was how she hadn't heard he was nearby before. Her fingers moved to the rucksack protectively to make sure the orb was still there.

Jareth wandered out of the temple, the odd feeling through the force that the ruins and caves gave off seeming to distort his senses on what was on the outside. The further he got to the edge of the cave system and tombs though the more clearly he could sense things; but that didn't mean things made any more sense to him. For one he could sense a familiar presence, yet it was one he hadn't felt in some time. He didn't instantly recognize it as he might have if it had been in his past.
Another thing was that he could somehow sense a SECOND one of the artifacts he had just discovered in the cave. It gave off an odd force signature yes, but it was the same as the one he had just left in the tomb's cradle. Curious now, Jareth quickened his pace and soon was exiting the tomb and stopping to see the face that he did find he recognized now. It was the eldest of the three Cibre children, and Jareth had to sigh aloud. Arya Cibre was always trouble for Jareth even in the Clone Wars where he came from, and it seemed lately all of her family members were showing up.
Jareth had begun watching Brody when they had had an encounter on Kashyyyk, and he had also heard of Aldric and their father Gunner, but had kept his distance from them; none of them bothering him yet. Arya was the last one he was aware of, and by far one of the most troublesome ones he had met. "Well, well, well... I guess this means that time slip isn't just bringing important people through." Jareth countered back, letting his eyes wander around for the artifact, realizing after a moment who had it.
