Tarsus was walking through the jungle. He was on a mission to fine an ancient Sith artifact. We was surprised that he was sent alone. He thought they will tell him that his master will be tagging along, but Tarsus was go alone. He has always hated the jungle. There were always a huge insect, or man eating plant out to get him. As Brandon walked through the forest, he heard something big moving in the bushes, but no foot stomps. As he turned around, he saw a frighten cracian thumper. Brandon lowered down a little, and slowly walked up to the creature, making sure not to frighten it even more.
"Hey, bubba. How ya doin'? I ain't goin' to hurt ya. I promise that, or I swear on my aunt Maris' fried chicken. Come on, now."
The cracian thumper slowly walked up to the tall Obelisk. Brandon smiled as he pet the very furry animal. The thumper had a saddle, so it most likely gotten lose from another party.
"Hey, now... Your kinda cute... Hahaha, you're very fuzzy."
Brandon hopped on the thumper's saddle, and was beginning to feel a bond with the large animal. Brandon pat the thumper's head and rode off to the temple. It was very hot and humid, and the thumper was suffering of it.
"Don't worry, big fella. We'll be out of here sooner or later. Trust me, I am going to get that thingymajigy they want me to get, and we'll be out of here."
Brandon was so focus on riding the thumper, he didn't realized that a rancor was near by. As the temple ruins came in view, the rancor roared as he swung his hand and knocked the Obelisk to the ground. As Brandon struggled to catch his breath, the rancor grabbed Brandon and roared in his face. The Obelisk was lucky enough to pull out his blaster, and just as the rancor was to swallow the poor man, Brandon shot 4 bolts down the throat of the rancor. The massive beast dropped Brandon, and as he fell, the thumper ran underneath him and caught Brandon with his saddle.
"Oh, fuck it! Lets go! YEAW!"
The thumper ran as fast he could through the heavy forest. The Obelisk used the Force to help clear a path back to the LZ. He held on tightly to his big furry companion, and he felt the bond grew stronger.
"You just done save my life... I'm going to keep you... I am going to call in Jiggs."
The Obelisk new he failed his mission, but he rather have his new companion safe. He'd just get back- up to help him with the artifact. It mustn't been of too high of a value, since they sent an Obelisk to go after it.
