**Insert number three in the continuing story*** Here I end my turn. PLease re-read Chapter 7 and see the two prior inserts. as always comments are welcome. I focused on removing Tenric from the storyline so we could wrap up the others. =========================================================
Tenric stood in the darkness of the tunnel, leaning against the stone, and held his breath as the Dark Lord headed for the shuttle. The anger that had temporarily gripped him had been snuffed like a candle before the maelstrom Vader’s presence caused in The Force. He was still shaking from the adrenaline surge his near miss with Vader had caused and didn’t trust his limbs to work just yet. Every step the Dark Lord took away from him helped to ease the shaking. Never had Tenric conceived of such anger and power coupled like that. His Force-sense, attuned as it was to subtleties in the Force, had nearly gone blind with Vader’s approach. Silently he thanked the Force for the glimmer he had seen in the darkness that Vader caused; the glimmer that had saved him.
He had been caught in the open trying to slip into the tunnel without the use of the Force. He had sensed Vader was near and had not wanted to draw attention to himself. Then suddenly a shadow had eclipsed his heart and reflexively he had summoned an image of himself as a boy as a defense. He was still exhausted from the battle and knew he stood no chance in battle against the Dark Lord. He had remained crouched, waiting defiantly for the blow to fall, when the faintest hint of a Force-current had flowed from within the darkness around Vader. In desperation Tenric had lashed at it with the Force and held it up in front of himself as a shield. Whatever it was had stayed Vader’s hand and won Tenric a new chance at life.
That chance had almost evaporated, as Vader seemed to sense something and stared after him into the tunnel. Tenric had stopped just out of sight in the tunnel, to give his wounded leg a rest, and was sure Vader would be after him in a heartbeat. Then the transmission had come and the Sith Lord had abruptly left. Tenric guessed the message had something to do with his fellow Jedi’s escape and sent a silent farewell after them. If it were the will of the Force they would meet again someday. He had learned much these past few weeks, much about himself, the Force, and the currents at large in the galaxy. He could sense that his friends, though still not out of danger, had made good their escape; now he just needed to make good his own.
Remembering his master’s lessons on centering himself Tenric relaxed and renewed his connection to the currents in the Force. After taking a few moments to be certain he was out of the main flow he headed off down the tunnel to his hidden ship. He now understood why the currents had led him to hide it upon his arrival and mention it to no one.
It took him a quarter hour to reach the modified Z-95 Headhunter he had ‘borrowed’ from the Dura-Lite Enforcer base on his homeworld. He had come to Dantooine in response to Force-visions which had directed him here. Not many Z-95s had class I hyperdrives, but this one did. It was an oversized version modified, as all Dure-Lite’s ships were, to show off the hyperdrives made from the ore mined on his world. He tended his leg with a med-kit that was on board and settled in to wait. After another half hour he was reasonably certain that Vader and the troopers had left in pursuit of the others. He eased out of the large cave mouth in which he had hidden his ship and kept low to the ground until the currents indicated he should head for home. He had much to think about in his coming time in exile. He also vowed to himself that never again would his anger get the better of him. Having danced so close to the dark side, he never wanted to do so again.
As he punched the coordinates for the first leg of his journey home he again sent a fond wish after his new friends in hopes they too would find refuge until the time was right.

Upon completion of the story I will be posting a printable WORD doc with the entire story. Each Author's contribution will be labeled as well.
I shall need to make a few spelling or Grammar corrections but will otherwise not make any changes (unless a specific author PMs me with a request to do so).
I am eager to see this one finished as my kids want me to read the whole story to them as a bedtime serial.
