The Fall of Rah

Rah always felt he grew up living in the shadow of his twin sister, she was always the one with the "Gift" and the one that got all the attention from his parents. Although they were very close, as they grew older Rah began feeling out of place. Soon he resented Cylynn and wanted nothing more to be out of the family he was forced into.

When Cylynn had left for the Jedi temple Rah was glad to be rid of her. He felt he finally would be able to branch out and do what he wanted to do without the shadow of his sister. He felt he meant nothing to his parents, and did not agree with their beliefs, so when he was old enough to leave he did.

Rah bartered passage on several ships until he reached Tatoonine, his rough rebellious kind of neighborhood where he could shine at what he had a natural gift for, Podracing. Rah had always been good as a pilot, but his family always said he was "wreck less" or that it was too "dangerous"
Rah entered in the low division podraces, but his skills got him plenty of attention as he began his rise to fame.




As Rah became known all over Tatoonine as an exceptional racer he began to enjoy all of the perks. Nothing but the finest food and drink at the local cantinas. He reveled in the party life, enjoying the finest things the fast desert planet to offer. There was no exception to the fine company he could enjoy as well. But his quick Ascension to fame had also brought unwanted attention, especially those looking to make some easy credits on the podraces. Rah was just a child who didn't now how deep he was getting into. All he could see was the credits he was winning and the woman he could spend it all. In his mind he had it all.

One evening Rah was approached by a Munn by the name of Thesalon. Munns were known through the galaxy as being financial savvy. They usually lead simple lives as accountants and rarely left their planet Muunlist unless there was a credit to be made. "Rah, I've seen you race you are very good and favored by many of the fans." The muun said sitting down in a more secluded part of the catina. "Well what can I say, I'm just that good" Rah said smugly. "Ah, well that brings me to my business proposal, You're so popular and win almost every race that most people bet for you, but lets say someone were to bet that you lose, and that rare chance that you do, well it could be quite profitable" The muun looked at him with a sly smile. "So you want me to throw the race?! What kind of person do you think I am?" Rah said outraged. "I think you're a man who is smart enough to accept opportunities to make you rich when they come along, I can indeed make it worth your wild, In more then one way" The munn motioned to a savage looking goon lurking in the corner "Do I make myself clear?" The goon snarled in Rah's direction. "Perfectly" Rah stood and grabbed a cantina dancer and walked her to the back room.

As the race neared Rah decided he wasn't going to let the Muun threaten him into giving up his perfect winning streak. He was on top of the world what could the credit pushing Muun do to him. If he was really worried he could always hire goons of his own. It was race day and Rah was pumped. As he checked his pod Tesalon with the goon in tow approached him. "Do not forget our little arrangement today Rah." He said circling the pod. "Yeah, Yeah I know, now can you get outta here so I can get ready." The Race began and Rah put everything he had into it for another win. That night Thesalon approached him in the Catina looking furious. "Do you know how much I lost today?!" The Muun was fuming. "Not my problem," Rah said trying to walk away "You will regret this!" The Muun yelled at Rah.


That night as Rah was on his way home a Figure appeared in front of his speeder. He swerved to hit it and crashed into a nearby sand dune. He crawled out of his speeder and saw the figure walking towards him. "Look what you did you stupid Bantha Fodder!" Rah said looking at the the smoking speeder in the sand.  As the figure neared he recognized it as the Muuns silent goon. A wave of panic took over, there was nothing near for miles, and even if there was something close Tatoonine had  more of a look the other way policy. "Look if this is about credits you can have all of my winnings for the day, and my next, just don't do anything stupid..." Rah began to back away, The alien snarled and in a moment had pounced on Rah. In Rah's last moments his thoughts went out to his Sister Cylynn, he desperately wished she was here, she would have protected him, and with his last breath he whispered "Cylynn..."
