As she grew closer, she saw Malvus's fleet in orbit. Opening up a channel, she contacted it. This is Luxeria. I have come upon Lord Malvus's request. Please inform him of my arrival. =Ship Security= Lady Luxeria, His Lordship will meet you in the meditation chamber. Please land in the upper hangar bay.With that communicated, a pair of Mark VI's came in and escorted the Dark Illumination to the upper hangar bay within the center of the Harrower's divided prow. Once there, a Sith warrior was present to take her to the meditation chamber on the upper levels. Just above the level, where the main batteries were located, the Sith warrior stopped before a door and knocked once before stepping to the other side of the hall.Enter, Luxeria.The Sith spoke from within the chamber that hissed open seconds later. Slowly, Malvus rose from his meditative state and turned to his former apprentice. He hoped there would be news about Dathomir.What news from Dathomir? |

Pressing forward, Luxeria made her way towards the Harrower that rested in orbit, her craft eventually being flanked on either side by the Mark VIs that escorted her in. With a steady hand did she guide her ship in, landing the modified Baudo in an open section. Powering down the systems, Luxeria departed the cockpit to check in on her apprentice, who was meditating over the events on Dathomir. "Continue your meditations. I shouldn't be long."
With the message relayed, she exited the ship to find the single Sith warrior awaiting her. Giving him a nod, she followed his lead as he guided her to the meditation chamber. The trip went on in silence as Luxeria looked around. Having a couple of Harrowers within her own fleet, she was curious if there was any true difference between hers and the one Malvus possessed. For the most part, all seemed to be the same except for the detail of the meditation chamber. Then again, it was a rare occurrence that Luxeria even walked among those within her fleet. Only those major campaigns did she choose to fully take command aboard the Exar-classStar Destroyer.
Upon reaching the room Malvus awaited her, the Sith lady waited until she was granted permission to enter before doing so, something that came shortly after the knock. Entering, she gave the Jen'ari a bow before responding. "All is well upon Dathomir. They were a bit resistant at first to the idea of joining with us, but I was able to convince them otherwise. For now, they don't require our aid but will look to us to help remove their light-sided sisters when the time arrives. Another world under the rule of the Blackguard."

The moment Luxeria finished speaking, she could feel the sudden change in the air around her. Its source was obvious. Her eyes focused upon Malvus as she awaited his response. Something was clearly off and the sensation didn't bode well. Was it something she said? She figured that he'd be pleased to know that Dathomir was now in their clutches. Was he hoping that despite his claims do to do whatever it took to gain their allegiance, she would have made them bow to their order without asking anything in return? While possible, she doubted that to be the case. Whatever the reason, she could only stand there and wait for him to speak and reveal the cause.
The answer that came, however, gave her pause though it might not have been in the way Malvus expected. Was it solely because they found a Jedi here where they didn't seem to belong? Or was it because that it wasn't guarded, though at no point was the world under their protection. In his current state, Luxeria knew it was possible to further incur his wrath if she spoke differently than her feelings, but if she was to get to the root of the issue, she had to press a few borders. "I can see where your feelings lie on the matter. I thought we had sought to eradicate the Jedi back on Felucia years ago or, at the very least, scatter them and weaken them to be picked off one by one. Yet, I made a trek to the planet shortly after the Great Hunt and saw that they not only survived and remained on the world, but built a temple greater than what they once had." She then crossed her arms, her gaze hardening and her presence sharpening around her. "That being said, why should the presence of a single Jedi here be a problem? The Sith species may have called this home once and it may have been where the Sith order began its existence, but what does it truly have to offer the Blackguard? It was not a world held under our control, so why should we dedicate forces to something that sits as merely a burial world?" Sure, she would have made a pilgrimage at one time to visit this place, but only the visit the origin of the Sith and to move on. It held great power in the Dark-side, but what else could they gain from it? Nothing she knew of. The power they could have here didn't stay with anyone once they departed the world. As far as she could see, the world had been striped of nearly all of its secrets over the centuries and was only sought after based on sentimental value. It was a feeling she did not share.

Luxeria remained silent as he went on, his anger surging as he spoke of the constant downfall of the Sith at the hands of the Jedi. She had heard of rumors and saw from some of the intelligence the Blackguard gained that a new group of Jedi had begun to rise up, one much more focused on eradicating the darkness and pushing the assault against it compared to their more passive brethren. In truth, that was something to be wary of. The Jedi as they stood were nothing more than pests.. But a group much more dedicated to moving and occupying different worlds with a goal to stamp out the darkness was another matter. In the end, she still didn't think much of Korriban, but it wouldn't be long before they felt confident in attacking any of the worlds the Sith controlled. That was a fact she could agree with.
However, his opinion of one Jedi being enough to extinguish the darkness was something she couldn't believe, at least not as a straight forward fact. She remembered her studies well and while there were those occasions the eventual end of the Sith orders of their times were brought down by a single Jedi, the truth was, it was rarely so cut and dry to say such things. There were always contributing factors to the Jedi's success. Many times, it was the Sith who were the culprits of their own demise.
When he finally finished his rant, Luxeria clicked her tongue a few times as she processed all he had said before speaking. "Are you that concerned over the existence of a single Jedi, Malvus? I'd be cautious if I were you. One could take all that anger you're expressing as a facade for fear of our enemy. And I'm well aware of my history. Each of those examples was defeated by a single Jedi, true, but nothing about the situation in which they died was truly tied to a Jedi being so much more that his light extinguished the darkness. Sidious and Krayt were killed by nothing more than their own arrogance and certainty of victory. If they had been more guarded and not so caught up in torture or turning the enemy to the dark-side and focused on killing them, they'd possibly still be around. And Caedus was another matter altogether. We possess great strength, but we are mortal and are bound by those laws. In this case, he was severely weakened and put at a disadvantage with a missing limb. Not to mention what he was actually fighting for versus the Sith of old. And clearly Jaina failed. How many times have the Sith returned since then?" She then tilted her head. "A single Jedi can take down an entire Sith order? That is a delusion. A Jedi can defeat a Sith, just as anyone with the skill and a smart enough mind can. In defeating an order, what a Jedi does is defeat the only Sith remaining or the leader that all within the order blindly follows. If a single Jedi is truly capable of defeating an order of Sith, then the power of the Dark-side must be a very feeble power that isn't worth pursuing." She then let out a laugh as she shook her head. "The thing that typically leads to a Sith's demise is the beliefs in which our order was raised on. Above all that, arrogance. Is that not what the Blackguard was meant to fix? Were we not supposed to throw down those old ways that rid ourselves of overconfidence and constant betrayal? Or was that merely pretty words that covered up the reality of us remaining the same?"
Stepping up to the window, she let her gaze fall upon the dusty world below. "Well, well, such claims of the Jedi's Grandmaster. And here I thought that was why the Sith'ari and yourself have sought to achieve such power. Why else if not to combat him? In all this, you are making compelling arguments of the Jedi being stronger than us and that the Dark-side is a wasted endeavor. Certainty disgrace of a man that calls himself the Jen'ari of the Blackguard and the Voice of the Dark-side as you once called yourself."
Glancing over out of the corner of her eye, she worked to gauge her former master's expression. All her words had come out smooth and her tone and remained calm. Even her presence and stance were undisturbed by him or the claims she made against him. After a moment, her gaze fixed forward again. "I do agree, however, that our focus should be on the Jedi. The Jedi as a whole are pests that need to be removed and these Jedi Lords as they call themselves won't wait around forever before trying to bring the fight to us. Our attack on Felucia was meant to eliminate them at best or scatter and weaken them at worst. They were to know our strength and fear us. Yet, in but a couple years, their presence remains upon that world, as strong as before, if not stronger in a temple grander than that of which we destroyed." She then raised an eyebrow. "I suppose you are speaking of yourself. Why waste time here? The Dark Obelisk has the facilities to store these secrets and keep them out of the hands of anyone else."

A violent reaction came from the first of Luxeria's words. Malvus' gaze turned rather suddenly, his eyes flaring with anger. Somewhere behind the female, the metal was heard groaning and then a loud twisting sound, followed by a hiss, as several pipes were bent and crunched beneath the weight of the Force. The Sith seethed, in silence after, gazing at his former apprentice.
It is not one that makes me worry... it is the fact that, where one is found, many more can be as well. Where one is, more can follow. When one knows, more can learn from that source. It is the effect that one can cause if the circumstances are set a certain way.
The Sith turns away after a moment.
As the Jedi have rebuilt, this one can easily tell the Order of our presence here and bring many more to our doorstep. A rebuilt Jedi Order, and a militant Jedi Lord organization, are signs that we did not do enough... yet our gaze remains upon the Imperials and neglecting a truer threat!
Malvus recalled the many times that he cautioned the Sith'ari in seeking war and conflict with the Imperials. This resurgent Empire was strong and proved its capabilities in a large conflict, a galactic scale, that threatened the future of many worlds! He feared that a war with such a strong nation would be an absolute unraveling of what they had brought together. Defeating the Jedi would ensure that there wasn't a second threat ready to pounce at their flanks. If they left the Empire alone, the Empire would likely leave them be. But the Jedi? It was in their nature to fight with the Sith.
There was a silence that followed when the mention of the Sith'ari and Blackguard was made again. A very odd silence that wasn't typical of Malvus. The Sith swallowed the disgraceful remarks as he was felt coming forward and standing beside Luxeria. He gazes at Korriban before beginning to speak.
The Sith'ari... is falling into madness, Luxeria.
He utters words that were well-guarded within the hierarchy.
The Force is deteriorating his mind... it has even weakened him physically. After the attack on Felucia, he frequented the bacta tanks and meditation to heal his physical form while uttering strange and incoherent sentences and words. He has even come to refuse my counsel.
Malvus gazes outward at the barren world, exhaling deeply as the Sith takes a moment before speaking.
I do not even know who will succeed him if he were to die one day. The Imperium could easily explode. And with it, years of work and preparation. The future was once certain, Luxeria. But now, I can feel the rot within. The stagnation, the ease, the rust...
The Sith had thought the future was certain, but now the Dark Side was making him question his decisions.
I sought a greater power to ensure I could defeat our foes. As for the Sith'ari, he claims it is for the greater good of the Imperium, but... I fear he is simply speaking those words. In fact, even now, I do not believe that he accepts what I sought to promote, the Rule of Unity, as I called it. Many offices are filled with his relatives and not those who have proven themselves worthy. The Imperium... could become a bloated carcass.
His gaze slowly turns to Luxeria. What he had spoken was true and false, merely words put together to emphasize a picture. A picture that was a lie and a truth, a picture that Malvus sought to corrupt those to his side and cause. Would Luxeria believe his partial truth? Or would she see through it all? If the latter, the Sith had alternatives.
Does that answer your insults and questions, Luxeria?

Luxeria remained standing, not even the slightest of flinches emanating from her as she heard the creaking metal behind her. If there had been a point where Malvus's anger was obvious, this was the moment. She knew what she was getting into by pressing the matter. She was stirring the pot, thicker and thicker. If she wasn't careful, it could have been said she'd choke herself on the end result. For a Jedi, anger made them blind and careless. For a Sith, it fueled their power which, at times, made them seem god-like.
But Luxeria exhibited no fear to the being that stood before her. In fact, she couldn't help but give off a dark giggle when Malvus finished speaking, finding his final remarks the most amusing. "Did I offend you? Terribly sorry for that. Then again, I didn't think you'd be so easy to insult, nor rile up like this. Still, it may pay if you addressed the matter with proper intent. Expressing such emotion over a single Jedi and insinuating the capabilities of said single Jedi undermines your position and power. We don't want others to get the wrong impression." She glanced over at him, her dark smirk still set upon her features as she tapped her temple. "But, as I said, I agree with you in regards to the Jedi and how they've been overlooked as of late. One can, indeed, lead to more. And more can lead to issues that could, in some fashion, but us on the defensive. That is a place I'd rather not be."
Taking another moment to drink in the fury that radiated off of her former master, her smirk then faded as she thought on the rest of what was said. She, herself, felt that ignoring the Jedi was a bad choice, and knowing that he was aware of the Jedi's strength yet dismissed it was troubling. But to claim such against the Sith'ari was quite bold, even for the Jen'ari. Was he really in such a state? Through her studies, she had believed that the search for greater power could, in fact, devolve the mind, especially if it became an obsession. Voix was a very powerful being. Was he becoming subject to such truths? It was hard to know. At the core, despite what Malvus intended for the order, the Sith were still capable of betrayal to achieve their goals.
After a few moments, she crossed her arms and looked at Malvus, the dark, focused glare returning as she wrapped her head around everything and the validity of it all. "So what is it you are suggesting? If I were to take your words at face value, you seek to claim the throne from him all in the name of maintaining what you want to achieve."

Luxeria knew how to get under his skin, it was a consequence of her tutelage under his wing. Malvus simply snorts, giving no further response to what Luxeria had said before her final statement. The Sith merely turned and gazed back at Korriban, his eyes so focused that they could have easily escaped his skull and glued themselves to the glass of the viewport. It was quite evident that he was attached to the planet now and sought to utilize it for a future within his mind.
I do not seek that throne.
Malvus hisses to Luxeria.
I have built an empire before, a sovereign nation, and I do not desire such a crown upon my head.
Malvus remembered that time, when was still named Valstrol Horica. Back then, he ruled a small domain called the Horica Sovereign Empire. During that time, the Sith sought to build a dynasty, which came to reality with his marriage to San Zabar. His son, Aasim, and his daughter, Anastasia, were among the ranks of his personal disciples and agents. His son, an enforcer. His daughter, a capable female with numbers. Not to mention his stepson, Vallen, and his adopted child, Tyrana. They had become his dynasty... but that dream was dead and that ambition was cold.
I desire to build an order, Luxeria. One that has vast resources, but stays within the shadows. It is not an obvious target, but rather an organization that strikes from the darkness, ravage its targets, and slide back into the shadows from whence it came. A conclave of Sith, of Dark Side users, dedicated to the eradication of the Jedi and the Light.
His fist formed a balled fist as the Sith gave emphasis to those words. His gaze turned to Luxeria.
A means to focus our hate, our power, and our rage. To ensure their doom and destruction. To ensure that we can dominate the galaxy!
Malvus turns back to Korriban.
...but not by vast armies and fleets. But by the power of the Dark Side and the skill of our warriors.

Luxeria's gaze seemed to sharped as her eyes focused more upon him and his words. It was now that she had arrived at what this was all about and what it was all leading to. A few things fired off in her mind with each passing word, each line resonating that darkness within her as well. "So you fully intend to betray the Sith'ari? That's quite the treasonous claim, Malvus. That alone is enough that I should report your defiance to him and attempt to bring you in, kill you, or die trying. While it has been seen that Voix has put more attention into the First Order than dealing with the Jedi, you are going to need more than that to justify leaving the Blackguard. All these other claims are yours and not things I have witnessed for myself." She then let out a low growl as her forest green eyes shifted to their burning orange. There were others things that had been said that brought about a realization. "You already have proven your deceit in using me to grab Dathomir for your plans while having me believe it was for the Blackguard."
Her arms then fell to her side as her presence began to swell a bit as if preparing for a fight. Where her paths of fate went depended entirely on the next few moments. She stood ready to use the Force and draw her weapon should she need it. "If you were anyone else, you'd be reported and possibly dead. But since you were once my master, I will allow you the chance to explain and try and convince me otherwise. If there is no weight in your words, you know what will come."

Luxeria listened with as the man before her spoke. He was right, she wasn't a fool. Even with her claim just moments ago that had he not been her master, she would have turned him in with absolute resolve to fight and kill him should she have needed to. But there was a fine line between doing one's duty for their order and following it blindly without asking questions. Despite turning someone in, she would indulge in the perception of the traitor and see if there was something truly worth thinking about. She wasn't a lamb that would follow another without question. She would only stay so long as there was something she believed in.
And so his words came, further trying to convince her of his claims and the failure of the Sith'ari. Part of his claim had already been denied within her mind, only on the fact that it was something she hadn't witnessed herself. It was why she asked for more, something she could see as true and not simply believe or deny something based on experience. Did she feel she was at the bottom of the ladder? Not in the slightest, yet she could see the points he was trying to make. Blood would rise much more quickly and take greater positions before the rest. A sign to ensure the Blackguard followed only a single direction and that any infighting was quickly struck down. And though Sirona was Voix's adopted daughter, she rarely was able to venture out from the academy or Mustafar. She had graduated Gavin's class as did her own apprentice, yet she still had no master nor was she being sent out as an acolyte to further her skills and experience. Had they been Jedi, it would have been understandable as their approach to apprentices was entirely different than the Sith.
Then there was direction. She could see it as well. Sure, it could have been hidden by the attempt to expand and claiming of worlds, but what all did it matter in the end? How many of these worlds truly granted them the resources they needed to fully build themselves up? Not many, in her opinion, especially in terms of what was lost in order to claim it. And for all the attention the Sith'ari had put towards the First Order, there had been nothing done about them. In truth, she didn't know what else they were trying to achieve.
Malvus certainly had some valid claims, but Luxeria wasn't one to just jump ship like that. She had to see things from all sides, see where the truth existed and which truly benefited her. Belief and benefit were the deciding factors for, after all, she was a Sith. "Then tell me, Malvus, what is it you fully intend to achieve? What is this new order you intend to create? A hidden order that stays small and hides in the shadows much like the One Sith? But what else is there? What are they to stand for? What do they intend to achieve?"
As she awaited his answer, she thought on that those final claims. It was true that he made her work for her skills. However, she had to disagree with the gold platter of a Sith name comment. She doubted Nidana was his apprentice long before receiving her own name. Would she have to work hard to keep it? Yes, but still, it couldn't be said she earned it under his tutelage, but she wouldn't say anything of it. After all, she received her Sith name shortly after becoming the apprentice of her first master, Darth Andor. She had no room to object but found the detail a bit amusing.

With the questions, the intensity of the room began to subside a bit. Things were still, undoubtedly tense, but considering the discussion thus far, it wasn't something that would immediately dissipate. Questions were key to understanding motivation, desire, and intention. She did not settle with blind loyalty. She was not a sheep. Perhaps it was why she kept moving, kept progressing. Questions allowed one to kept from settling and kept the quest for power, knowledge, and destiny alive. "Without the questions, we never receive answers. Without questions, we stagnate."
She then stood quietly as she focused intently upon each word that was spoken. She listened for the truths, the intentions, and the purpose. She let it all mull around in her head for several minutes after he finished speaking. This was not a choice to make lightly. Departing the Blackguard, even wandering its halls with this secret intent could create a storm that could bring them all down if they were not careful. If she were to make a move, she needed to ensure the pieces lined up and that whatever path she sought had the best potential for the order and herself.
After the minutes of thought, she stepped up to the viewport and set her gaze upon the planet. It wasn't a quick or unquestioning one, but she had made a decision. "Then you have my support. However," She then looked at him with burning orange eyes. "I will be watching. I won't follow blindly and if these ideals begin to falter with you, I won't hesitate to leave or even ensure any heretics are dealt with. Just so we are clear."

Luxeria's eyes squinted as the focused upon the Sith. At least he had enough mind to make such a claim as to not endanger the order. Whether or not he'd stay that way when the time came, however, remained to be seen. Regardless, if that was the wish he was making, she'd ensure he'd find his end rather than destroy the very principles of the order he was fashioning. "Very well. If that is what you want, I'll ensure that it'll be a quick and painless death."
But that wasn't all he had to say. It was here that she turned to face him completely as he granted her new titles. For as much as one could glean from the title of Arbiter, it was still a mystery, one that would be revealed in time. If her skills and knowledge made her best suited to carry that title and responsibility, then she'd trust his judgment. Becoming his hand as well was another matter entirely. That position was easy to figure out as it was one that was used a long time ago by Sith before them. "I see. A curious development, to be sure. I suppose you have thought through the details of this new order much more than expected. I'm curious as to the details of being this Arbiter. I guess I'll have to be patient for the time being and wait until the currents move forward."

Some time had passed since the announcement of a new Sith Order ravaged the Blackguard Imperium and the Sith Academy. The Sith were splintering, fracturing. Whether it was from the family civil war or otherwise was left uncertain. All that Lady Vesperia knew was that the very Jen'ari spearheaded this move, which brought her to Korriban's orbit today. In truth, it was a shock that she was able to wait this long before striking.An X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype broke out of hyperspace. Lady Vesperia made her and her ship's presence known with an unsavory, commanding transmission to Harrower-class Dreadnought that floated in orbit.This is Lady Vesperia to orbital control. Inform Darth Malvus that I'm here to meet with him. I expect docking commands or coordinates immediately and his presence to greet me upon my arrival.Although she had her apprentice Karnac with her, she either didn't care for either of their lives or was more than confident that no harm would come to them despite her current demeanor. No matter the case, it was clear to see that something had irked the Lady, so much so that she hadn't the patience to play up her ususal animated apathy or feigned charm.

Duvrax sat within the cockpit of the X-70B as they arrived over the world of Korriban. He had heard much of this world and what it meant to the Sith through his studies but had yet to ever visit. Unfortunate that his initial visit was less than a pleasant one. Not only had Vallius Savage stood against his father and begun to claim parts of the Blackguard for himself, but it turned out that many of the Sith had departed the order to form a new Sith order. In the time before this news reached their ears, many of the order's members had left, including one of his peers, Kosrezic, which meant Lady Luxeria had departed as well.
His master didn't seem to be thrilled either as the training they underwent came to an immediate halt in order to make this trip. Turning in his chair to watch as they approach the fleet in orbit, he listened as Vesperia contacted the main ship for a meeting with the former Jen'ari. He was curious about what she intended to accomplish with just the two of them, but if they were here for a fight, he wouldn't complain. Based on her tones, she certainly wasn't playing around and any who decided to get in her way would definitely pay the price. It was a thought that brought a smirk to his face. For now, he remained quiet as they awaited a response.

A transmission was sent back.=Captain of the Leviathan= Lady Vesperia, you have been approved to land at the Fanged Acropolis. The Heirarch will await you there. |

Lady Vesperia's request was hardly given as a formality but, instead, to glean a sense of direction. It seemed a wise decision, too, when the captain directed her towards some structure called the Fanged Acropolis. Despite the coordinates, the Lady left her vessel to linger in orbit for a beat longer. With the transmission cut, only Duvrax was able to hear the long, low hum. What more, her expression had been twisted into something resembling thoughtful scorn.
"Meet at this Fanged Acropolis with the Hierarch, hmm?"
Vesperia toyed with the words as they rolled off her tongue, emphasizing both the place and Darth Malvus's new title. It was as though she was recalculating a long, extensive list of sins, and two more had been added.
"It appears that they've been congregating for far longer than we realized."
No sooner than the words parted from the woman's lips, she took control of her ship and piloted them into Korriban's atmosphere. Nearing the Fanged Acropolis, Vesperia glanced over at her apprentice with a wicked glimmer in her eyes, a sharp, steely blue. Although she hadn't disclosed the full depths of the plan to him yet, watching him in action would just be part of the fun.
