Luxeria leaned against the glass as the discussion between Malvus and Forente went on about the creature's DNA. Only a slight misunderstanding came about in the actual makeup when her former master compared it to the older Massassi. Looking back to the creature as the tamers sought to bring it under control. "It is quite the specimen, to be sure. Makes me wonder just what other projects you've been working on secretly over the years."
She then looked back at the Jen'ari. "The soldiers of the Blackguard not working for you?"

Malvus scoffs at the mention of the present soldiers of the Blackguard.
I feel their edge has dulled and they are prone to all kinds of liabilities. Defiance, desertion, and laziness... they will likely not pursue an attack order if it does not suit their personal agenda. That is the issue with soldiers, they have minds of their own.
The Orzi grunts will be nothing more than that. They will be eager warriors and highly effective at killing. Eventually, commanders and strategists will be bred and they will likely be more countermanding only when it came to strategy. They will seek to recommend alternatives if need be. Not for the sake of preserving their units or to preserve their reputation. The Orzi will only be concerned with their martial reputation after all, not some political connection.
Malvus glances at the beast as it was brought under control. The tamers slowly directing it away.
Forente, Luxeria.
The Sith says to the two.
Later, meet me in my office. I would like to speak with you about the Orzi's potential.
In truth, there was business to conduct and the Sith Lord only trusted these two among the gathering.
The rest of you, I hope you enjoyed this... demonstration of the Orzi's potential.

Luxeria listened to Malvus's response, though gave only a tilt of her head before to gaze once more at the creature. She couldn't deny the logic placed upon just creations. It was a daunting task for any Sith to fully rule and manipulate the mind to ensure complete loyalty anf fulfillment of their tasks. All they could do was either led by respect or fear, sometimes a bit of both. But soldiers and officers still carried their own minds, minds that could break and change at the flip of a hat. These creatures were meant to be rid of such concerns and would prove to be far more capable in battle.
Her attention then return to the Sith as he asked for her and his step son to meet with later. It made her curious just what he wished to discuss. Here, he had allowed even a stranger in Elariyna down here that kept tight lipped and secure, but wished for only the two of them. Just what did he have in mind?
Pushing off the wall, she nodded. "Understood." She then looked to Sirona. "Feel free to meet up with Kosrezic in the training area, if you like. I'm sure she'd be pleased to see you again." She then looked back to Ela, though stayed quiet for a moment. Still not trusting of the girl and what possible trouble she may have brought, she had to accept that wasn't a prisoner and a possible prospect to join them. The most she could do would be to have her go witn Sirona and meet with Kree. Let her have some semblance of freedom. Maybe the two could better determine who she was and her potential from casual interaction. "You can head out with them, too, if you like Elarinya."

Darth Sirona bowed to her new master, and to Luxeria, who suddenly paid attention to her, making her blush a little. Thank you, I'll be sure to say "hello." Then she glanced over as Luxeria told the new Pureblood that she could go to. Sirona offered a friendly, yet timed smile to Elarinya before taking her leave and walking confidently (or as much as the nervous Echani could muster) but to the lift, from there she would have no idea how to get to the training rooms, but was determined to 'fake it till she made it'.

The demonstration had clearly come to an end and it was time for the children to clear out so that the adults could talk. At least, that was the impression Elarinya got from the situation. Though, in truth, she was not adverse to the idea of exploring this new world that she would be calling home. She gave a short bow to both Malvus and Luxeria, as the former gave her leave to join Sirona in going to the training area
Thank you for this honor, Lord Malvus...
He offered a smile back in return to Sirona, somewhat pleased to have the opportunity to spend more time with the Echani beauty. Maethoriel gave a nod of her head and offered a formal bow to Luxeria and Forente, before turning her attention back to Malvus
By your leave my Lord, I shall accompany Lady Sirona and Lady Elarinya to the training area, so they do not get lost...
Ela smiled as the Zeltronian stated she would accompany the two girls to the training area. She turned then, and followed close behind Sirona. Sensing the presence of Maethoriel close behind as they traveled back through the facility to the lift that lead back up to the main estate.
Maethoriel stood at the back of the lift, while Elarinya stood beside Sirona. Watching the read out above the door as it indicated their ascent up through the tunnel. She turned her head to the side then, her gaze shifting toward Sirona then
Well this has been an interesting day so far... Can't say I could have imagined any of this, when I crash landed here... Life is certainly full of mysteries...

Sirona didn't register, at first, that it was her being addressed. She turned and smiled politely, waiting for what she assumed would be Maethoriel's response. But after the couple of beats and it never came, and noticing Elarinya's eyes were on her, she blushed lightly, before responding.
Oh! Uh- Yes, I suppose it's quite the auspicious day. All of us meeting like this. The Force works in very mysterious ways, I suppose.
It did seem odd that so many would come seeking out Malvus in such a way, all on the same day and without any kind of coordination. It made her nervous, but also excited. If this was the will of the Force, and she had been chosen to help carry it out, who was she to deny it? But for now she was trapped in a lift with two people she didn't know, which for Sirona was it's own kind of hell. But for now she gritted her teeth and smiled politely through it all. Hopeful that Kosrezic would be able to save her from this awkward situation. Or at least be a buffer for it.

Malvus was rather surprised when the apprentices departed, under the watch of Maethoriel. It gave the Sith Lord the opportunity now to speak instead of having to wait. Once the room was filed out, he turns to the console, flicking a switch off. This meeting was not to be recorded in any way possible. The Sith Lord then turns to Darth Forente and Luxeria .I have some assignments for the two of you to carry out.He first turns to his former apprentice, Lady Luxeria.Head to Dathomir. Negotiate with the Nightsister Clans there. If need be, show a gesture of our commitment to an alliance. And that gesture can easily be the destruction of any clan of the Dathomiri Witches that is not a follower of the Dark Side. Give them technology, supplies, promises, whatever. Secure their allegiance no matter what, Luxeria.Malvus knew he could rely upon her. She had not failed him. Finally, he turns to Forente.Forente, your task is a bit more simple. The world of Thule rests within the region of our new activities. It has a long history with the Sith and I recall one who had brought Imperialism to its population in recent memory. Go there and take it for us. It will prove useful as a fortress for our cause and give your men some action, if the planet resists.. I even believe that its Sith academy may still be in operation, more likely in secret.Darth Malvus, after giving the assignments, glances between the two, wondering if either of them had any thoughts or questions on the assignments given by him. Hopefully, good results would be yielded from the actions of these two. Results that were needed.

Something good for your new followers. Go to the Malachor system and secure the planet there.

Ensure a garrison is left to keep the planet secure.Darth Malvus, after giving the assignments, glances between the two, wondering if either of them had any thoughts or questions on the assignments given by him. Hopefully, good results would be yielded from the actions of these two. Results that were needed.
Though it gave the appearance of disliking her given task, it wasn't because of the fact that it was given to her or she felt it beneath her. It was a world that carried a personal scar against her. For a split moment, her mind thought on the past and what had transpired there. It had been a couple of years or so now, but she remembered it well. It was where she and Vasari went in search of the Book of Life. What they found, besides the target, was truth. Luxeria had discovered the Zabrak's escapades with other people, making her feel betrayed from the time they had spent together and the bond they shared. The reality of it was further enforced when not long ago, she had found out from the Empress of the Dark Jedi just how far the acts had spread, furthering the betrayal and hurt. And now she was being expected to go vack to where it all started.
But she wasn't about to let her personal feelings keep her from fulfilling her duty. Malvus wished for her to claim Dathomir and so it would be. She gave him a slight bow of her head. "Understood, my Lord. I will claim Dathomir for the Blackguard, no matter what it takes. |

Ever since her master left her to train with Umbra to check on their "guest," Kree had been hard at it, training in her Jar'Kai variation of Makashi. It was hard to tell how long it had been. Twenty minutes, thirty minutes, and hour? It was unclear but she continued to go at it, looking to make Luxeria and Gavin proud with her dedication. After all, it was the only way she could get herself to a point where she was her master's equal sooner rather than later.
As the trio entered, they'd see the Twi'lek engaged in her sparring match with the custom built droid. She blocked a strike at her left, then deflected one from her right which granted her an opening to step into the droid's circle and lunge at it, ger saber seeking its chest. It side stepoed her at the last moment, jumping a bit back, pulling its saber with it before slashing at her shoulder.
Using her sabers as a barrier, she kept the blade away from her as it pulled back, then ducked undr its slash, it attacked twice more, once at her feet, then higher at her waist. She cartwheeled away from the first swipe, the jumped higher in a spin flip to dodge the second, landing to face it.
Bringing up both sabers to her side in an X pattern, she stopped hus attack then spun forward, bringing her blades around and stopping at its neck. They stood there for a moment before the droid stepped back and deactivated its saber.
=Umbra=
::Well done, Kosrezic. I will be sure to inform Lady Luxeria of your perform during the spar.::
Kree gave a nod before turning to see the trio there. She recongized Nidana and Ela quickly but was unfamiliar with the third. Deactivating her sabers, she put the gold and black curved hilt sabers back on her person as she approached. She first looked to Elarinya. "I see you recovered quite quickly. Impresdive considering the crash you were in." Then she looked at Nidana. "This is quite the surprise. I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? What brings you here?" She then turned to the third and felt her power, she doubted the woman to ve a student so elected to address her as a master, thus giving her a bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Kosrezic, apprentice to Lady Luxeria."

*Vallen turned back to Malvus and put his mask back on. Back to business, apparently. He nodded to Malvus, affirming that he would head to Thule. It amused Vallen that Malvus wanted to launch a crusade across the stars with next to little prep. He arched his eyebrow behind his mask.* Crusades? Crusaders? I like that imagery. He thought, his mind wandering for a moment. Vallen closed his eyes for a moment, to open them and watch as the rest of the group left the chamber. He followed behind, his hands clasped behind his back.*
*When he arrived at the highest level of the Tarkin Estate, Vallen activated his communicator.* Termina, bring the speeder around. We're headed back to orbit. *By the time Termina had left the estate and brought the speeder to the entrance, Vallen was exiting the main building. He climbed inside, shut the door, and the two of them were off. Termina took the shortest route needed to get back to their ship.* "Master, what happened below?"
*Vallen smirked, unseen behind his mask.* "Malvus is mustering his forces and is making a play in the galaxy. We'll see if he can succeed with my mother's Ronove Order and my Death Cult failed." *That is all Vallen would say on the subject for now. He could not be sure that his speeder was not bugged while he was inside. The two of them arrived shortly at Vallen's ship. While Termina loaded the speeder into the cargo space, Vallen made his way to the cockpit and prepped the ship for launch. Moments later, Termina arrived in the cockpit and Vallen took a seat. She'd be the one piloting them, as usual. After a few more checks, the ship was airborne and left the city.*

I am Kosrezic, apprentice to Lady Luxeria." Yes, it is! I didn't expect to see you or your master here, though it is a welcome surprise. Seems the Force has something in store for us all to meet like this. I actually came to ask Lord Malvus to take me as his apprentice. His reputation for spell-weaving and alchemy is exactly what I want. And he accepted! Even as the words escaped her lips, she couldn't seem to believe it herself. And he has already given me my Darth title! I am Darth Sirona! As she spoke, she had been getting more comfortable in the situation, especially having the familiar face. But how are you? It seems your training has been going well! |

Ela watched the purple skinned Twi'lek finish off her training session with some droid. It was a rather impressive display to be sure. But as it came to an end, Ela gave a simple nod of her head in greeting to Kosrezic. Unlike Sirona, Ela lacked any sort of history with the Twi'lek beyond having been pulled from the wreckage of a ship. A wreckage that Kosrezic just happened to mention
I've just gotten lucky... I still have some rest and healing to go before I am back at a hundred percent... Speaking of that... Thank you for your help...
She was not used to thanking someone for their help, but it was not an entirely alien concept to her. She had thanked her former master on a number of occasions. But thanking someone other than her master was new. Her thoughts, however, were soon distracted by Sirona blushing once again. Seemingly remembering something from the past.
Maethoriel had entered the training room behind Elarinya and Sirona, taking in the Twi'lek Warrior. She had heard about Luxeria's apprentice in reports, and Kosrezic did not disappoint. She was beautiful and alluring, qualities she had learned to no doubt emphasize more thanks to her Master's teaching. Maethoriel smiled and gave a nod of her head in greeting
It's a pleasure to finally put a face to the name. I am Maethoriel, a Blademaster in Lord Malvus' service...

Kree placed a hand on her hip as Nidana spoke first. A smirk formed across her face as she took in the Echani's tone. There was still that hint of nervousness within it, but with it also came some excitement. For most of their time training together under Gavin, she had been more on the timid side, though she had slowly started opening up by the end. She then gave a shrug. "I suppose it does. This was meant to be just a random visit for my master to view Eraidu once again and let me see where she spent most of her time as an apprentice. The day most certainly has shown to be a busy one." She glanced over to Elarinya for a split second before looking back to Nidana. First the fleet that waited in orbit, then Ela, now Nidana. The gathering of people was certainly interesting. "Sirona, huh? Well, congratulations. A step ahead of me as I have yet to receive one. However, it doesn't really bother me. Luxeria has been spending quite a bit of time training further in the manipulative arts and graceful combat."
Answering the question posed by Nidana, she then fully turned to Elarinya. "Not a problem. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Hopefully a full recovery comes quickly. There's no telling when you may be put to work within the Blackguard."
Once Maethoriel introduced herself, Kree gave another nod of her head. "I see. That would explain why I've never seen you before. It makes me wonder just how many Sith within the Blackguard are unknown to each other. I would imagine there are quite a masters serving directly under the Sith'ari or Jen'ari."

Sirona shrugged. She had to get used to calling herself that and being called that. She felt a little awkward now, knowing that her friend had been apprenticed longer but still had not been given a title. Perhaps this was just one more unexpected privilege of being the adopted daughter of the Sith'ari and now apprentice to the Jen'ari. But she managed to keep herself from showing her awkwardness at the situation too much. The Echani was glad to hear that her friends training was going well. Sirona did tend to worry about her former classmates from time to time, a remnant of her past as a Jedi padawan.
It seems to be suiting you quite well, Luxeria's training. You two make quite a stunning pair. I'm just glad we're on the same side! The young woman gave a slight laugh but in the back of her mind she remembered the ways of the old Sith orders and knew that old habits died hard.

The glance her way did not go unnoticed as Kosrezic made mention of the day being a busy one. It had honestly been beyond anything that Ela had ever expected to experience. From surviving the crash, to being inducted into this order of Sith and finding out about some new breed of warrior. The last thing of which she had managed to find out about while it would seem Kosrezic was not privy to learning about just yet. She gave a nod of her head then as Kosrezic addressed her
Given how this place seems to move, I suspect it will be much sooner rather than later...
Maethoriel meanwhile had been listening with interest to the conversation between Sirona and Kosrezic, making a mental note to look into both of their pasts later on. The two clearly knew one another, and knowing how they did may prove useful later on. For now, she kept her focus upon the twi'lek woman
I suspect there is fewer than you might imagine. But yes, to my knowledge there are a handful of masters that serve directly under the Sith'ari and Jen'ari. We each have our personal allegiances for various reasons... But ultimately we all serve the same cause...

As Forente took his leave, so to did Luxeria. There seemed to be nothing else to speak of regarding her mission, only to acquire the loyalty of the Nightsisters by any means necessary. And easy enough task she suspected.
Making her way from the lower levels, Luxeria made her way straight for the training area. Not knowing if the others met with Kree or not, she knew this was the best starting place to find her. Luckily, all were still present. Stepping up, she looked first to the Twi'lek. "I hope you're training has gone well. As much as I'd like for you to enjoy some time catching up with Sirona, we have been given a mission. She then looked to Elarinya. She was given no orders regarding the Sith but if the girl was to remain under her watch until Malvus said otherwise, she figured it best to take her as well. It would give Luxeria a chance to evaluate the skills she possessed. "You will be coming with us, Elarinya."
She then looked to Sirona. "Apologies for the sudden steal."

Kree nodded to Sirona. "Well I did make it a point to become her apprentice the very first time we saw her. It was my goal to be just like her. That desire and determination granted me what I wished. Approach your wants and desires the same way and they are sure to be fulfilled as well."
Kree was about to speak further to Elarinya when Luxeria suddenly arrived and stated they had a mission. It was certainly unexpected for a simple visit to become something more, but it was a task granted to them by the Jen'ari. She gave a nod to Luxeria before looking at Ela once Luxeria further dropped more unexpected tasks. "Well, looks like that soon has already arrived."

Ela turned toward the door as she faintly sensed the approaching presence of Luxeria. Her gaze settled on the woman, as Luxeria spoke to Kree about some mission that the pair had been sent on. But the most surprising thing, was when Luxeria turned toward Ela and stated she would be joining the pair. Apparently this whole babysitting arrangement was going to involve going where ever Luxeria went
As you wish...
She gave a nod back to Kree, as the twi'lek made her comment
So it would seem...
Maethoriel pushed off the wall she had been leaning against and turned toward Luxeria
Mind if I tag along as an extra set of hands?

Luxeria looked to Maethoriel as she spoke up, asking if she could join up as well. It didn't take long before she nodded. The more they had, the better the mission could go, especially if they ended up having to take out the Dathomir Witches in order to gain the Nightsister's loyalty. "Of course." She then looked between Ela and Maethoriel. "Gather what you need and meet me in the hangar in thirty minutes."
She then looked to Umbra and Kree, motioning for them to follow. She knew her apprentice didn't need anything, all her things being on the ship or on her person. But it gave Ela the chance to go with Maethoriel if she desired, allowing her the opportunity to pick up anything else she may not have had. With a final nod to the two of them, she left with her apprentice and droid as they made their way to the hangar.
As they reached the hangar, the trio boarded the ship as they ensured everything was ready for the second pair to join them. Normally, the ship was best built to accommodate two people, the interior being reshaped to accommodate her and one other, be it a friend or her apprentice. Luckily, there was space available to turn into a makeshift room if needed.
From there, Luxeria ordered Kree to stand outside and wait for the others as she prepped the ship for take off.
