With his words, it was clear Electrix had the same thought Gavin did. Giving a slight nod, he pushed off the tree and stepped off the edge, letting himself fall feet first to the ground. He came down, fast at first, his trenchcoat floating up behind him the best it could around his massive sword attached to his back. Upon nearing the ground, his body slowed, Force Flight engaging. It brought him just a foot off the ground before stopping, letting him hover there. Gavin made it look so easy, not even seeming to strain in anyway. A few seconds passed before he touched down and let his hands slip into his pockets as he watched with interested eyes.

I stepped forward blowing air between my teeth in a hiss, I did not like the fact he blatantly says his name. With no regard or care. This was my master, and I would not take such blasphemy carelessness of using his name. I slid the holy tome back into its pocket before noticing the other being fall to the ground, and stop suddenly before touching down. No that was an interesting trick, who would have guessed he had such abilities. Now I was more intrigued then ever. First the overwhelming surge of power surrounding all of us, and emitting from the spirit, and the other man who remained silent but seemed to have some power in order to pull off such tricks. Though something felt odd about him, and when I got the chance I would probe just a bit to see if I could find something out about him.
Do not udder his name, in such a nonchalant way. My master deserves more respect then that. He is God, Emperor, destroyer, and salvation.. If you want mortality so bad, then why have you not asked him how to obtain such things, spirit? Though if persuaded right I, might help I remember teachings of my old master that hinted to such abilities.. Given you have first obtain the favor of my master.

Sidious is a difficult spirit to reach. In fact, I believe he is beyond reach. If I could ask him, I would. I have his favor. As I do all of the past Dark Lords. If I had not their favor, then I would not have been allowed to become an apprentice and then strong enough to become a Master. No tell me, what do you know of Sidious's knowledge?

Hard to reach? I had my dark lords words written here in my pocket. But Now this man wanted what knowledge I had. I gazed at the spirit as I walked around him. Maybe if I helped him he could be of some use to me, its obvious that if he had a body he had knowledge I could use. But the problem was if I could trust him at this time, It was a never ending process of showing my fellow man the path of enlightenment. I knew of pass failed attempts, with his great power. They misunderstood the very point of the power. I stopped and reached outwards towards the spirit my hand going through it with easy, passing right where ones heart would be. As it came out the other side I clenched my fist, a deep chuckle escaping.
I have some knowledge, of where tomes and relics of his are hidden. But That knowledge is not for everyone, Why do you deserve it? What will you give me in return for my help in gaining these things?

Ah, straight to business then...
Electrix thought for a moment. What would this man want? Hmm....
I would offer you great power but it seems you already have that... How about the ability and help to destroy those you would care to destroy? I was once very good at that...

As the two continued their conversation, Gavin remained silent, taking in all the information he could. Would there be any need of it for him? Most likely not, but knowledge was just as much a form of power as was strength. But ever so slowly and faintly, he began to change his presence. It was smaller and slower than a trickle of water, its coming. His presence began to alter, his darkness beginning to seep through the ever opening cracks it its shell. Gavin wanted it to be general change, as if sitting in water that was cold that was slowing coming to a boil.
It would not be as the two here, their darkness powerful and crushing. Perhaps in comparison, they wouldn't notice or it'd be weaker. But the difference in his power wasn't the overwhelming force, but instead it would make one feel as if the world around them was stripping away, leaving them in a void of emptiness. Nothing, in Gavin's mind, was more capable to drive one insane than being in an empty world.

Finally we seem to be getting somewhere. Just what I was waiting for. Nothing was free, and I was waiting to gain a few people I may use to reach my goals, or at least turn to his dark bidding. Now I had the potential power of this Shade, to add to my side. But not only him, I thought as my head snake sideways slowly as I gazed at the other man. I Had taken note of his gathering force presence. It started a slow change, I only noticed cause Chaos had been keeping a close eye on him. If there was one thing you could always sadly count on was that these fallen would try to consume one another shortly if left together to long. A volatile bunch they all were. I turned towards the man standing by himself and made my way towards him. My arms crossed behind me. My smile was gone, and now I was looking him up and down. I had found it odd that since I had arrived here he had not stated a word, yet stood there watching. When I found this shade he was already here. Meaning they had to have been conducting some kind of business.
Did this man fear me? Fear what I might learn? Or was it simply he didn't trust me. Good the thing I learned quickly was trust no one, and be ready to both dish and receive back stabbing.
And what of you stranger, silence is not a gift here. There is knowledge to learn, but it never comes cheap! What do you want? what are you willing to give to obtain it?

Gavin watched as Sauthril turned and began to approach him. His first thought was curiosity. For what reason would this man come to him. Gavin hadn't said a single word and had stood back from the conversation. But now he was coming to him. Casual, yet he could tell by the man's eyes, the way they wandered, the way he kept a serious expression upon his face that he was checking Gavin out, measuring him, figuring him out. His thoughts then switch momentarily to his massive sword attached to his back, Shintara. He didn't move his head or eyes to signify his thoughts. His outward appearence didn't alter, but he readied himself, put his guard up, just in case. Slung over his left shoulder was his large sack, left hand holding it in place.
Then the man spoke. Curiosity once again ran through his mind. Did he want anything? Did he even desire any knowledge from him? After a moment, Gavin lets his eyes close and a small smirk come across his face. With a chuckle, he responded in his calm cool voice.
"Silence is always a gift, provided one knows how to listen and carry himself."
His eyes opened once more and looked to Sauthri, his head tilting to the side ever so slightly.
"True enough that knowledge is a great source of power and strength. But the question is, what is your information worth? Does the knowledge you hold out weight mine? What could you possibly offer me?"
Not once did Gavin let his growing darkness stop, nor did it increase in flow. It continued on, slow and steady. He did not care to compete with the others in flashing of his presence. He only chose to let his darkness out for a time.

Electrix watched, and listened as he other two measured each other up. These two were interesting, and could provide quite the entertainment, as well as further Electrix's goals. Could they be the start to a new rule? Possibly, but there were always two, one to have the power, and the other to crave it...

I couldn't help but smile as there was a slight shiver crawl up my spine. The mans word me happy, he was right. With out having known him before I didn't know what he knew, and as much as I relied on the holy tomb there was holes in its writting. Things I was still unsure of, things I felt needed more answers. So I gave him a slight bow crossing my right harm across my chest hand straight. I stood up strait still feeling enjoyment rush through me I turned towards the shade as I made my way towards him. I spoke first to the man I was walking away from.
You are right!
Now my eyes focus purely on the face of the shade.
Shade, I'll agree to help, but on one condition. He comes along, I like him. I felt it coming and instead of trying to hold it back i spread my arms and laughter over took me.

*Gavin watched as Sauthril turned and walked away, taking in the the smile and bow he had given. It was a curious thing, as if some manner of respect was given from his words. The idea was confirmed more when the man agreed with him. Gavin released a silent breath of relief. He had no desire to engage in any kind of combat, argument or physical. The the next words brought a hint of surprise to Gavin. This man liked him? Strange that just a few words could bring such a thought. But Gavin did not question nor complain. He merely continued to remain silent as he had for most of the conversation.
His ice blue eyes moved ever so slightly, looking now to Electrix. Gavin was far from oblivious to the reality here. Electrix desired knowledge at the moment, the knowledge to return to the physical plane. With Gavin, he would have had to search for the information. But with Sauthril's arrival, it was as if the knowledge he desired had just been set in his lap. Whether or not he desired use of Gavin for information was now irrelevant. He was certain that this man, for the moment, would most likely exploit any advantages he had, and use who ever was willing to follow or work, whether willing or for acquisition of something of great desire. He desired the knowledge Sauthril held, and now the terms had been set. Gavin was to accompany them. He couldn't see Electrix saying no, not with such information within his grasp. So whether or not he needed Gavin anymore or not, it seemed he'd probably be tagging along anyway.
And so, with that thought, things had been set in place. After twenty years, Gavin came out of exile and sought to mingle with others again. But for two years, he had searched and found no place that he could slip into and call home. Perhaps it was the will of the Force that Gavin's ship crashed landed here. Perhaps it desired his knowledge to be filled out. He had learned from the Jedi, the Grey, and the Dark Jedi, as well as things that others couldn't know. As he thought about it, his path in the Force, his journey of knowledge and understand, had started with the light and had slowly become darker with each passing year. Now, here was the last bit. The Sith was apparently where he needed to be now. If this was the path he was meant to take, then so shall it be.*

Electrix smiled a wicked smile. Everything was coming together. He looked at Sauthril and Gavin.
I cannot make him journey with us, so I cannot give what isn't mine to give. The choice is his, but I will not turn him away.

*Gavin smirked at Electrix's response. Not quite what he expected, but still along the same lines. He figured he wouldn't have been turned away. And now the choice was laid upon him. So what was the decision? It had been so long since he traveled with others aside from the few years with Kayden in training. It would be wise not to jump suddenly into a large group of people compared to a small group. And at the moment, there was nothing he was in pursuit of that he needed to leave. So the choice was an obvious one. He took a few easy steps forward, speaking coolly.*
"Well, I don't have anything of importance that requires my attention so I guess I can tag along for awhile."
*Though he did desire to join others, he would not make it appear so. When one has desire can another twist them them to their will. And in such Gavin had no intention.*

A Sith Infiltrator descends from the heavens, landing in a clearing deep within the shadowlands. Sinistra doesn't speak to the others as she moves about the ship, grabbing her weapons and making sure she had what she needed. The pull of the past was strong here; the lay of the land familiar as she looked out over the trees as the ramp uncurled from the rear of the ship like a metal leaf from a wayfaring bulb. She didn't move for a moment, taking it all in and searching for the thread that tugged at her, drawing her awareness back to someplace the darkness refused to let go of.
She stepped slowly down the ramp, closing her eyes and the bottom and communing with the thrum of the jungle around them. It was the same thrum she first encountered 25 years prior when she came to this world, a mere acolyte. She stood there now, leader of a faction more powerful than KA had ever dared to become. Her brother may have claimed Sith'ari but he was ultimately the doom of them all with his short sighted focus. He could keep to his decadent sanctuary. She was the diplomat and she had the power now and longevity to show for it. She opened her eyes and looked to her left.
"This way."
She stalked off into the jungle, her silver blade in her gloved right, ready to slice through the dense vegetation towards her goal if she must. The tropical forest swallowed her small frame, her black cloak trailing the floor of the woods behind her. She looked much as she always had, the formal looking robes of pleated linen and cotton, the flowing bands of the cloth sashes belted at her waist hidden by the cloak. It was hot for so many layers but she merely wiped her brow and kept going. Their destination wasn't too far.
She did not look behind her to see if Stormro and his new recruit were behind her. Either they were, or they would be left. She did not have time to dally or teach lessons to those who were just taking their first steps down the dark path. Let those lessons come from Stormro in an appropriate time when she was not facing a Mandalorian threat and a clock swiftly running out of time.

Stormro followed his former master off of the Rancor, standing just behind and to the right of her as she stopped at the base of the ramp, the Nagain Sith Lord allowing his own memories to roam the shadows of Kashyyyk. He still remembered the first time he had come to the homeworld of the Wookies, an enemy of the Sith who had dwelt here disguised as a friend; he had deceived them handily, living amongst them even as he tortured the very woman who he now followed and who was one of their leaders. One of them had eventually seen through his deception, however, and after a fierce battle he had been nearly killed, captured, and corrupted. When he had woken again Sinistra had claimed him as her own, stepping forward despite her burnt and scarred state to take him as her apprentice.
It was here in the darkened Shadowlands of Kashyyyk that he had blossomed as a Sith, becoming the formidable warrior and manipulator that he was now, before treachery and incompetence had destroyed his home here. There were countless memories here for Stormro; faded echoes which persisted in the Force despite the physical things which they represented having long ago vanished. Closing his eyes, Stormro allowed those shadows to play across his mind as he breathed deep the scents of the jungle before he opened his eyes and spoke to the young Zabrak who he knew was standing behind him. "You will follow me and remain silent unless spoken to. Observe everything around us and commit as much as you can to memory. If you fall behind you will be left behind; do you understand my apprentice?"
At Sinistra's command he set out, following her through the undergrowth as he returned to his thoughts. The Dark Side pervaded this planet, even before the Sith had come and built an academy here, and it could well be beneficial for Nel to spend some time here. Perhaps once they had finished their business the two of them could spend a short time here, and if not they would return some other time. For now, however, he would focus on Lord Sinistra's mission; his apprentice's training would have to come later.

The Zabrak opened her mouth to speak, before her brain caught up with her and she shut her mouth again, merely nodding. "Yes Master."
The phrase was still something she was going to have to get used to, and though she was sure her training was going to be coming, she was uneasy around these two people she had only recently met. She didn't know them, and so her instincts had her on alert. Trust, in this instance, she was still holding onto. She worried her lower lip between her teeth and ran her fingers through her black hair, before finally tugging on her small braid behind her ear. Her hands were in constant motion it seemed like, and when she noticed, she tucked her hands behind her back, her right hand encircling her left wrist as she followed after him. She stayed close, while also giving him a proper distance. Her mind still reeled from the events at the Praxeum and she took a deep breath to steady herself, letting it out in a slow drawn out way. She needed to stay calm. Emotions weren't going to help her. If she wanted to keep up, she needed to do as she was told.
And as she drew herself out from her own inward thoughts, she looked around, noticing the thickness of the brush around them, the play of dark and light amongst the branches... The sounds, the feel of the air on her skin. All of it. It was a lot to take in, but she was still going to try her best to pay attention to everything that she could. She only hoped it was good enough.

*As the conversation continued on, Gavin felt the presence of others approaching the planet. In his silence he focused on them as they approached and landed. They were a distance away and the chances they'd cross paths was minimal. but he couldn't help but take in the sensations of the aura's. So dark, at least two were. The last was still small, meant to be molded into something more. The presence of the other two began to mingle with the presence of the two with him. He compared their essence, their strength, trying to determine which group the greatest power.
But such a comparison was pointless. One may seem stronger than another, but that did not say it was powerful or potent. The sting of a smaller scorpion was far more deadly than that of its larger brethren. To each presnece was different based upon its upbringing. Gavin, despite his uncertainty as to where he should go prior to the moment, now felt a desire to understand the teachings and depth's of the Sith and the darkness they held. To gain such knowledge would round out his understanding with the Force and the many lines of light and dark. For now, he continued to focus on the newcomers while listening to the bargains Electrix and Sauthril were making with each other.*

Yes the pieces were falling into places. I now had a minor step to make to help my ultimate goal. I wold gain the allegiance of these two, and move forward. All if this made me and chaos happy, though Horus had remained quite for the most part. I had slowly made my way towards the Shade tell I was standing next to him, facing the opposite direction. I was about to speak when I felt the attention of both those around me shift. I turned focusing on where I noticed them looking, ahh.... It hit me like a bag of rocks. I had been so engrossed in what was happening I had failed to pay attention to my surroundings, now 2 more force presence had shown up. Both showing his Dark Favor. I cleared my throat and Smiled.
It would seem so shade, I did not realize that this was such a popular place to gather.
I reached into my shirt removing the cross that was tucked behind it and brought it out. Rubbing my fingers across its smooth surface. Hopefully they were here on the same terms as us. If not im sure it shall get interesting around her real quick. When I came here I did not expect to run into these two and now here came two more as soon as I had just formed an alliance with the original to. I was curious if I could talk these two into forming and alliance as well. Though I had high hopes for this I could feel Horus burning inside telling me to prepare for struggle. But he was always so hostile to everything, so in these times I always looked towards Chaos for the final vote. But in my mind all I got was a wink and a smile. I still did not completely understand Chaos, but he would warn me if this was a liability to the greater scheme of things.

A maw opened in the densely packed vegetation, split wide by the glow and thrum of a silver lightsaber. Stepping out in the clearing, Sinistra extinguished the saber, the hilt disappearing into the midnight folds of her cloak. She folded her hands in front of her, taking in the scene before her. There were a pair of men talking to a shadowy figure who could only be a force ghost from the looks of him. She made no move to throw herself open to the force, her presence simply dark and simmering in the heat of the jungles. Her long dark hair hung around her face, frizzy and damp from the humidity of the forest. She stood a little over 5 feet tall, robes cut in a style distinctly similar to those worn by Darth Maul, with pleats of linen, silk, and cotton. Her knee high boots were well worn, as was the cloak she donned over it all, marking them for having seen extensive use over their lifetime. She waited as Stormo and the girl joined her in the clearing before she spoke, moved to words with a hint of poetry. She spoke to no one in particular, her eyes moving between them all, as if she merely wondered aloud the stray fleeting thoughts of her mind to the winds of the planet she once called home.
"The galaxy erupts with war and the burning flow of the Mandalorians sends me across the universe to shake those who cling to the dark ways from their nooks to take flight from the onslaught or stand against it with me. Which shall I find here?" The pause grew in the opening between them all until it pulled her forward with a step and she spoke again, her words and eyes more focused on the men before her.
"Forgive the intrusion. I am Sinistra, Lord of Atrocity, and supreme commander of the Dark Tide. War has broken out in the form of a holy crusade against all force users by the insipid Mandalorians. I come seeking those who had eschewed joining together in the past to come together now to assure the mutual survival of all those who would call themselves Sith."
