Stepping next to Elder reaching up to the massive beast. Listen always as he was full of so much wisdom. Feeling through the force the age of the Bantha and the closest between the two of them. I bet it is interesting to read others steps in the sand all have a story from behind them one still a head of them. turning her face upwards to face the now stars just starting to peek out from under the blanket of darkness. It was strange to be here again be so much different for herself to be so calm, not from what had taken place the last few times. It was a side she never really thought she would given this a thought. -The Elder- "It is an enormous pain in one's choobies. I have outlived all of my family. My children, their children...their children's children. I can see the paths that people walk, and the paths that they might walk. It is torture to know that people put themselves through such inner turmoil when they make such decisions. I even see these things in you. I see them in Anven, and Nartaga, and even the Sith filth speaking to them."The Elder reached into his pocket and pulled out a couple of dried pallies. His bantha sniffed the air expectantly, and its tongue came out and grabbed at one of the pallies when the Elder held it out. The Elder handed one of the pallies out to Regina.-The Elder- "Go on and give him one. They make wonderful companions. They are loving beasts, and very loyal. I still cannot understand why all Outsiders do not make a bond with such a truly magnificent creature."It was like getting slapped across the face. A swift, punctual dismissal with the air of egotistical superiority behind it. Jud's chest burned with barely caged rage as he acknowledged he was being talked down to. How dare you! The Old Sith roared internally, stoking his own superiority in the most hypocritical way possible. Jud's hands unconsciously gripped tighter to the flimsy metal cup, buckling it slightly as the Sith thought about squeezing the life from the Tusken's body...even if it meant having Nartaga's new allies watch the life leave their "friends" eyes. It truly didn't matter, he would kill them too, then the rest of Nartaga's Clan in one fell swoop of his endless rage. "One fell swoop..." Jud murmured barely above a whisper as he stared towards Nartaga. To have the audacity to question him was one thing, but the full out dismissal of Jud's wisdom - as false or hearsay - was barely tolerable, nigh unforgivable. He had killed many for far less, and the thought of letting this scrap of desert waste get away with such an insult made the acid tang of bile rise in his throat.
Jud wondered if Nartaga - with all his new found knowledge - could sense the pin-pricks of his growing rage, or if Nartaga knew he was possibly a sentence away from getting the flame of his corporeal being snuffed out?
Jud adjusted his rage momentarily to fueling his understanding of Nartaga's new tone, he had noticed that the Tusken's bravado seemed to have increased since coming into the Hut. Jud began to trace events back, noticing that everytime he felt a twinge in the Force that the Tusken became awkward, distant, shrinking away from the Sith. "What are you hiding from me? What could possibly be so personal and powerful that you feel the need to poke a Nexu with a stick?" Jud asked silently to himself, before returning his rage to it's proper place: Nartaga.
"Things may change, the dunes blow away and the suns rise and fall... I do not" Jud said with a venomous sheen covering every word as it left his pursed lips. "My resolve can not be tempered or bartered with, and it most certainly can't be changed." Jud's single eye bore past Nartaga's masked face, with an intensity that verged on pure hatred. A hatred so deep, ancient and endless, that it's sickening effect could be physically felt if sensitive enough a Force practitioner.
"There will be no such alliance or armistice...there never could be. We are what we are." Jud finished before taking a sip of tea, as if no animosity had just passed between the two. -Nartaga- "I meant no disrespect to you, Jud'dayus. I simply want to see my people prosper, Tatooine prosper. You are wise; one of the wisest men to walk this planet...but you are alone. Your allies of old have come and gone. Their time has past, but you are still here, after so long, you remain. I am not asking you to change....I am asking you to help me..."Nartaga looked down at wood of the table in front of them, away from Jud'dayus's eye, almost in submission, but only for a moment. He looked back up and sipped some more of his tea.-Nartaga- "But suppose you are far too busy and important to be bothered by simple 'Sand People?' Then let me ask you something, Jud'dayus.....Why did you come here? You could have sent the Sentries I left there to watch for you back to me in pieces, but instead you decide to come see me, specifically, in person. Why?" |

Anven just sat there listening respectively to Nartaga and Jud as they talked with each other sipping away at his tea as he did. It was of course an interesting conversation especially with the details about Tusken history in it as he was always interested in learning though never quite found the time. Even as the knock on the door came Anven remained quite and just gave a silent nod to Crystaall in greeting to her as she entered the hut then he had also done the same when Nartaga asked if he remembered the ancient creatures he just nodded in agreement that he had yes seen them and remembered them though he still had no idea what they were until now.
What came after that was a twist indeed as he could feel a slightly the rage building in Jud though he knew not of what the reason was. As the man spoke finally it seemed what could of been a great alliance as Nartaga had asked for was denied though Anven thought it didn't hurt to ask then again was that the reason Jud was getting angry? What ever the reason was he just hoped nothing bad would come of it and the man would leave peacefully and hopefully not leave the enclave in ruins. For now though his eyes were on Jud'dayus as Nartaga began to speak again not to watch him incase he caused trouble but simply to hear his response to Nartaga though just in case he was ready should things take a turn for the worse which he really hoped it wouldn't since Jud was the last sith in all the galaxy he would ever think about trying to fight.

*Crystaall had continued to sit there, in waiting for an outburst from Jud or something that would enrage him. She easily sensed his anger, but knew she was too young and inexperience to even stand up against the man. She felt his power at the entrance, and she felt it even stronger now. But Crystaall just lay in wait to defend Nartaga if the sith grew violent or to watch the conversation calm down to a peaceful discussion. It was obvious Jud was angry, and Nartaga was trying to deter his anger. She hoped it would work. She closed her eyes and just sat there. She disregarded the tea in front of her. Crystaall was not accustomed to tea and always carried a small bottle of Correlian ale on her, which she took out of her pocket and drank from. She leaned to Anven and whispered to her friend.*
"What do you know of this man?"
*Crystaall expected Jud's anger to get the best of him and not notice this small gesture, but once again his abilities were unknown to her.*

Jud felt the eyes of the two Jensaarai on him, and reminisced on the order he helped found. "Oh Tyris, where did I go wrong?..." Jud said to the darkness of the hut, as he watched Anven's slightest movements of battle preparation with a smile. He felt it, the fear, the wonder... He looked from Anven to the woman Crystaall with a predatory leer. Anven would be an inconvenience, he had skill. The woman, Jud smirked... was as good as dead. "I meant no disrespect to you, Jud'dayus. I simply want to see my people prosper, Tatooine prosper. You are wise; one of the wisest men to walk this planet...but you are alone. Your allies of old have come and gone. Their time has past, but you are still here, after so long, you remain. I am not asking you to change....I am asking you to help me..."
Alone...
The word rang in his ears, and a ghost of emotion grabbed at his normally steeled heart. It was the icy grip of regret, of incomprehensible lose. A profound sadness washed over the Old Sith, as his face seemed to weather from the complexity of the emotions he hadn't allowed himself to feel. He thought of all the people he had known, loved, taught or betrayed, their lives playing out in an instant, turning to dust with all the centuries gone past. He watched as Empires were built on the backs of the innocent, then toppled by the people they oppressed. It was a flood of faces and places, of thundering highs and crushing lows, and in the midst of this. In the center of this maelstrom, were the faces he missed the most; their eyes alight with life... the images of their smiling faces was unbearable.
Jud turned away from the faces in his mind, physically turning his head down and away from the three people that sat across from him. His face etched with agony. "Be gone." Jud said aloud, in a tear choked rasp, but to who was unclear. Jud stared off into the distance of Naratga's hut, his breathing erratic. He shook his head back and forth murmuring what sounded like apologies to phantoms, before looking back again towards Nartaga, Anven and Crystaal. Jud's eyes were rimmed with tears, which he held back. His single eye looked around the room as if he didn't know where he was, or how he got there.
"Help?..." Jud asked, with a confused face. "What help?" The Old Sith genuinely asked, as if he were a different person, or in another state of mind all together. "But suppose you are far too busy and important to be bothered by simple 'Sand People?' Then let me ask you something, Jud'dayus.....Why did you come here? You could have sent the Sentries I left there to watch for you back to me in pieces, but instead you decide to come see me, specifically, in person. Why?"

*Crystaall put her hand to her side and looked toward the sky.* "I understand. Well, I believe I best be off. I'll trust you to mind yourself here. May the force guide you Vollen." *Crystaall walked off without another word. She ventured the valley, trying to find Anven. She eventually found multiple huts and began to sense for her friend's presence as she got close to each hut. She eventually knocked on the hut where multiple voices came from, hoping Anven was on the other side.* *Vollen nods to Crystaall, and gives a wave in a good bye guesture. She watch her walk off to try and find her friends. Vollen stood alone at the bantha pen she looked around she could see no one around not even a guard. "Well now all alone and in a enclave and so much to see and maybe take ill have just go and take a peak see" Vollen looked round were could she go, She closed her eyes and spins herself round on the spot, and stops facing a arch way heading towards the mountain. So with out another word she heads in the that direction feeling that was the way she was ment to go.* |

*Vollen came across a hutt she could hear shoutsing as if a heated exchanges were going on. She also got a shiver as she got near. The she remembered the man from before and was strangely draw in and she heads for the Hutt doors. As she got nearer she was Flanked out of no were by Tusken's 3 in fact two flanked the door and another had a rifle at her back. They were yelling someing at her but she could not understand them. But she was getting the picture she was not aload near that hutt. And then it happened a voice in her head cool and calm at first then a blood lusting roar."Keep calm dont panink and KILL THEM ALL.".Were did that come from, her heart started to race and she could feel a aching for her blasters. She paused waiting to see what the Tusken would do!.*

You could have sent the Sentries I left there to watch for you back to me in pieces, but instead you decide to come see me, specifically, in person. Why?" -Nartaga- "Things are in motion, Jud'dayus. Things that few are aware of! Prophecies have been made, and the Seers tried and true in their predictions. You are one of the strongest and wisest forces on this planet, and when the time comes, it would be better to help each other than to try and fight alone. That is why I had the Sentries watch out for you. Not to spy or kill you, but to make sure you were made aware of the situation....at least they got you here."Nartaga excused himself from Anven and Crystaall and gestured for Jud'dayus to follow him. Standing up, he walked over to the next room, and closed the wooden door behind Jud'dayus once he entered. Nartaga quieted his voice down to a whisper. His voice was forced, as if caught in his throat from both nervousness and some type of fear. It was like the words themselves were causing him pain speak.-Nartaga- "The Elder has long warned us of you and your deeds. Your exploits in Wars that I can barely understand, let alone imagine. He knows you, and he knows your power, and he distrusts you for it...But I believe that you take Tatooine as your home, and I do not believe that you would allow evil, true evil, to take over your home. Things that stay in the dark, but are unknown to us, they cannot be allowed to take our home from us. They must be stopped before they even begin."Nartaga turned away from Jud'dayus, and went to his private room. Lifting a wooden spirit mask from the wall, where a hollowed space was behind it. Taking something from the space, and then replacing the mask, Nartaga walked back over to Jud'dayus and held the item out. In his hands was a metal box. His hands shook a little as he opened the lid, revealing a Kuummgah crystal, dark and grey, its energy gone and taken.-Nartaga- "I am sure you know what this is?"*Vollen came across a hutt she could hear shoutsing as if a heated exchanges were going on. She also got a shiver as she got near. The she remembered the man from before and was strangely draw in and she heads for the Hutt doors.

She paused waiting to see what the Tusken would do!.* -Gersh- "There are too many of you here, Outsider. Bad things come to us. You leave, or we make you."Another Tusken, that had apparently just been walking, ran up to Gersh and began yelling at him in their native tongue. Multiple times both pointed to Vollen, and became louder when doing so. Finally, Gersh huffed and walked away, followed by his three Sentries. The Tusken who had stopped the enraged Councilor was Ish'Rak'Rru'R'Crurak, and he advanced Vollen slowly, his hands up showing he meant no harm. His Basic was much better, as if it was his first language.-Ish- "Do not fear my child. You are not in any danger. I promise you nothing is going to happen to you. You may call me Ish. I am one of the Councilors of the R'Crurak clan, the owners of the Enclave you are a guest in. And guests deserve better treatment than that. Please. Come enjoy some dinner with me and my family as an apology to this event."Ish held out one of his handsout for Vollen to take. |

*She watch the Tuskens lower there weapons and then she turns to the Tusken with the bark in his voice. She was making it out what he was saying and she heard it again. "BAD.....MAKE YOU LEAVE....."Her hand flashed for her blaster on her right and she stopped herself when another came running. From what she could tell the new Tusken was have it out and telling the other off to her surprise and this knock her back into a calmer state of mind, and his softer tone made her at ease.*
"Am thinking i need to do just that Ish and i thank you for helping me. It would be a pleasure to learn more about your kind...."
*She though back to what the man said at least she didn't call them sand people.*
"Am Vollen Dor. But my friends call me V"

"Things are in motion, Jud'dayus. Things that few are aware of! Prophecies have been made, and the Seers tried and true in their predictions....Nartaga quieted his voice down to a whisper.

Things that stay in the dark, but are unknown to us, they cannot be allowed to take our home from us. They must be stopped before they even begin." His hands shook a little as he opened the lid, revealing a Kuummgah crystal, dark and grey, its energy gone and taken."I am sure you know what this is?"
Jud shook his head. "Yes, yes... Things are always in motion, there are always prophecies, and there are always predictions. But I fail to see what part I play in your endeavors, or that of your people, Nartaga. You still seem not to understand, I can't help you."
The Old Sith couldn't change the past, and if he could he'd probably do the same necessary actions all over again. He was the enemy, he always had been the enemy. Why was Nartaga still so eager for his council and help? It didn't sit right, and Jud continued to wonder on the Tusken's motives as he excused himself from Anven and Crystaal, beckoning for Jud to follow him. Jud had been standing, and was about to make his leave, but Nartaga's body language made it seem like whatever he had behind the old wooden door, would be worth the Sith's time. "Very well, I will allow you one last chance of persuading me." Jud said with a sigh as he followed the Tusken into his private quarters.
Jud felt the spike again, as the door shut. The same ebb of Force power from before. It was to little surprise that as the Force signature was squelched, that Nartaga seemed in pain. His words forced out under the concentration of control over something that Jud couldn't see, but he could feel. The Old Sith closed his eyes and started to shut himself off, to bring himself at one with the Force around him. Jud knew that if he homed his senses, that this mystery would be solved promptly. Just before Jud was able to tune all outside nonsense out, he heard Nartaga speak of an Elder. An Elder that seemed to know a great deal about him. "An Elder, you say?" Jud asked with his eyes still closed. "How interesting that an Elder would perceive to know anything about me... or about things that go bump in the night." Jud opened his eyes narrowly as his face contorted into a look of frustration. "I know you're hiding something. I can sense it, and I've been sensing it since we first met outside of your Enclave." Jud pointed a finger towards Naratga's heart. "All this misdirection, all of this Elder business. Is testing my patients with you a second time." The dull red orb of Jud's left eye flickered. "In other words, get to the point... before I leave you to your own devises. Tusken."
Jud's eyes widened, his mouth opened slowly. "How?" Jud muttered, his face somewhere between awe and confusion. "That's impossible... utterly impossible. We..." Jud trailed off, eying the Tusken before smirking. "You took the energy, you took it upon yourself, didn't you?" Jud let out a raspy laugh, before levitating the spent crystal out of it's resting place and into his out stretched hand. "It's sister, you have one of it's siblings on you, don't you?" Jud squeezed on the crystal, the sizzling sound of electricity started before the sparks started to leap from Jud's clenched hand, bathing the crystal in arcs of shimmering energy. "Do you feel it?" Jud asked, with a laugh. "Can you understand what you've found or what you've done?" The crystal in Jud's hand started to ebb with an eerie red light, as he continued to suffuse the crystal with power.
"DO YOU FEEL IT!?" Jud cackled, his face turning into something akin to a cruel smile. |

But my friends call me V" * take his hand as she say her name* -Ish- "Weel I would prefer to call you by your given name, Vollen Dor. I hope this does not upset you, but I believe in taking pride in one's name. In the language of my people, my name means 'Silver Tongue.' I am sure yours name has more meaning to you than you realize."Ish stopped in front of a door, and took out a key, and unlocked it. His wife, K'Shir'Hrt'Ka, spotted the woman that Ish had dragged into their home and stopped him. Ish's looked at the ground, trying to seem sorry.-K'Shir in Tusken- "Ish I keep telling that you cannot keep bringing in Outsiders without warning me. Don't give me that look! She can stay for dinner, but after that, you need to go to bed. It has been a long day at the Great Hall. I am sure that Rik'Ur has been pushing his own laws to the Council's attention, with little success..."Ish smiled beneath his mask and led Vollen over to the table, where his family of nearly 20, mostly his grandchildren, were sitting and jabbering. The younglings hushed when their grandfather came to sit. Ish spoke to his family.-Ish in Tusken- "We have a guest tonight, and we shall treat her with respect, as if she were our own. Her welcome into our midst was not what one would say warm, so we will show her that Tusken Hospitality....is the greatest in the Galaxy."Ish gestured for Vollen to sit on a cushion, the table being low to the ground, and someone gave her a cup of hot H'Kak bean tea.-Ish- "Please, Vollen Dor, be seated and join us for our meal. I believe that my wife was preparing Dewback stew....So....what brings you to the Enclave?"
Jud shook his head. "Yes, yes... Things are always in motion, there are always prophecies, and there are always predictions. But I fail to see what part I play in your endeavors, or that of your people, Nartaga. You still seem not to understand, I can't help you."

Jud opened his eyes narrowly as his face contorted into a look of frustration. "I know you're hiding something. I can sense it, and I've been sensing it since we first met outside of your Enclave."

"In other words, get to the point... before I leave you to your own devises. Tusken."
Jud's eyes widened, his mouth opened slowly. "How?" Jud muttered, his face somewhere between awe and confusion. "That's impossible... utterly impossible. We..." Jud trailed off, eying the Tusken before smirking. "You took the energy, you took it upon yourself, didn't you?" Jud let out a raspy laugh, before levitating the spent crystal out of it's resting place and into his out stretched hand. "It's sister, you have one of it's siblings on you, don't you?"

The crystal in Jud's hand started to ebb with an eerie red light, as he continued to suffuse the crystal with power.
"DO YOU FEEL IT!?" Jud cackled, his face turning into something akin to a cruel smile. -Nartaga- "I've felt it ever since I returned!"Nartaga's vision blurred a bit, and he blinked to try and clear it, but only saw more symbols of his long-dead ancestors. He reached out and snatched the crystal from Jud, placing it back in the box and shutting it. He took note of the residual energy that sparked within the crystal.-Nartaga- "I've seen the pinnacle of Tatooine, and watched it die before my eyes! I have seen the R'Crurak of Old fight the demons that are prophesied to returned. I feel the power through me, and I hear the voices of dozens within my head at every waking moment!"Nartaga's goggles show a bright blue light flashed for a moment as he spoke the last few words in almost anger. He backed up and was only stopped by the wall. His hand went back to his head and he looked at the ground to stop the room from spinning.-Nartaga- "What do you know of them? The Elder had me search for them...in places I dare not speak of. Why? They have power, yes, but the nightmares...no...visions I have seen....Such power is a curse." |

Post by Lord Jud'dayus: The Debase on May 13, 2013 14:00:28 GMT -8
Jud continued to laugh as the crystal was yanked from his hand, returning to it's box-tomb to slumber yet again. The connection had been severed, the crystal turning a dead grey again as the lid shut. Jud's eye mellowed, but he still felt the anguish lingering on his fingertips. The souls knew him, they knew what he was and what he had done, and they cried out to be away from him.
"So..." Jud started... Creeping up on Nartaga within the cramped confines of the room causing it to shrink behind him in an emanate claustrophobic effect. His hands twitched as he twiddled his fingers in anticipation to snatching the dead crystal's sister away from the Tusken. "You finally can understand, can't you? You can hear them now. Do they scream at you? Do they fill you with dread at my presence?" Jud smiled his telltale smile, he liked this. It felt right. He felt vindicated in the knowledge of seeing another suffer under a power they couldn't control completely. "Did I not tell you to keep a modicum of fear for me? Did I not tell you that an alliance was futile?!" Jud was mere inches from the Tusken, and though slightly smaller in statue the closing darkness that followed him gave the Venerable Sith a fun-house effect boost in intimidation. Jud could feel Nartaga's fragile psyche under the strain, and a sickening glee spread through the Sith as the Tusken told him of the voices, how they bombarded him constantly. "Aren't they beautiful?" Jud asked sing-songingly. He was almost relieved that the Tusken finally could hear what he'd been hearing of centuries. "The music of their suffering is enough to drive one insane." Jud closed his eyes and started to hum, his fingers conducting an invisible choir.
"What do I know of them? Ha." Jud gave Nartaga a loving pat on the side of his mask. If it had been his bare face, Jud would have been patting the man's cheek. Jud knew it was more than taboo to touch a Tusken, but he didn't care now, they were brothers. Even if Nartaga didn't understand his connection now, to the sins of the distant past. "I know your ancestors learned how to bind their souls to Force sensitive crystals thousands of generations before the Jedi or the Sith Orders even came about. They could have only been taught by the Whills, I doubt they found it under their own devises." Jud spoke to Nartaga's masked face, thinking of his own knowledge of such things. I wasn't an easily learned technique, nor was it wholly safe. One wrong incantation, the slip of concentration... Jud smiled, feeling the crystal as he spoke. "Your Elder, you call him Elder... I think I know him by another name. He was a nuisance then, and he seems to have continued that legacy in you. The crystals were scattered, hidden across space, and for good reason. The power in one was enough to sustain a trained Force user for years, decades... centuries." Jud tapped himself. "But if one found ALL, they would be more than immortal, they would be more powerful than any Force user before, present or future. They would be the pinnacle of the Living Force, a being like that of a God. They would be as limitless as the Whills!" Jud's voice was full of pomp, his redderick so fervent that there could be no doubt that the Sith was speaking of his own quest. His quest to be a God. "You finding two crystals is more than miraculous, I'm actually impressed as much as jealous." Said Jud with a shrug, thinking on the years he had spent, the years they had spent... and when finding the precious crystals, when taking that power, how the legends of the Daemon started in the annals of the Clans.
"SUCH POWER IS A BLESSING! Insanity is a small price to pay for complete consciousness, for Godhood." Jud roared, flecks of spittle hitting Nartaga's mask. "The only curse is knowing you have become privy to this power." Jud started to reach up towards Nartaga's face again. "I can't have that..."

Nartaga shook his head. Setting the box containing the dead crystal down, he tried listening to Jud'dayus, but the voices, spirits, whatever they were...They screamed for him to get away. They were frantic, more so than before. Now that the man in front of Nartaga was aware of not only the dead crystal, but the one around Nartaga's neck, the combined fear of both almost brought Nartaga to his knees, but he was stronger than that. He would not let the fear of a race dead for thousands of years make him appear weak to this man.
-Nartaga-
"The things I went through, to get these two crystals alone....No mortal being should ever have to see the dark creatures I have seen. I do not believe that you understand the extent of my own sacrifice, to gather them. I was meant to get one more....but it escaped me..."
Nartaga grasped painfully at his right arm, an old wound inflicted by a cursed weapon. As Jud'dayus bombarded Nartaga with words, Nartaga shook his head as his mind went to other places. He saw children playing in the grass beneath the twin suns of his homeworld. No...not his homeworld. More flashes of other lives came and went before his eyes. A Kumumgah warrior falling to a Rakatan soldier, dragging the dead body back into a building. The bombarding of a great city, people running away from the epicenter only to be incinerated. A gloved hand reaching into the sand and pulling out a living crystal, and the Tusken bringing it to his face.*
*Nartaga flinched very visibly as Jud'dayus touched his mask. He jerked his face from the man's hand as he touched Nartaga's mask.
-Nartaga-
"Why!? Why did they do this to themselves! I can feel the pain that they go through, remaining in this realm! They should have known, but time was short! The Rakatan came, the destruction, the death....."
As Jud'dayus reached out towards Nartaga, the Tusken reached and grabbed Jud'dayus's arm by the wrist. He pulled the man in close, the blue light emanating from the goggles in his mask.
-Nartaga-
"You will have me! I am not something you can wipe out with the wave of your hand, Jud'dayus!"
Nartaga laughed, and as he spoke the blue light became tainted, and became blood red, just as it had in Mos Eisley all that time ago, and the massacre began in the streets. He leaned his face close to Jud'dayus's and stared into the man's eyes, both of them.
-Nartaga-
"You come here, and think you can simply get rid of me now?! I offer you friendship, and you threaten me? And you wonder why we hate you! You are nothing but a shadow within the darkness. There are far worse things than you and I have seen them. I am not as afraid of you as I am of them. You are nothing compared to them."

*She watch the Tuskens lower there weapons and then she turns to the Tusken with the bark in his voice. She was making it out what he was saying and she heard it again. "BAD.....MAKE YOU LEAVE....."Her hand flashed for her blaster on her right and she stopped herself when another came running. From what she could tell the new Tusken was have it out and telling the other off to her surprise and this knock her back into a calmer state of mind, and his softer tone made her at ease.* "Am thinking i need to do just that Ish and i thank you for helping me. It would be a pleasure to learn more about your kind...." *She though back to what the man said at least she didn't call them sand people.* "Am Vollen Dor. But my friends call me V" * take his hand as she say her name* -Ish- "Weel I would prefer to call you by your given name, Vollen Dor. I hope this does not upset you, but I believe in taking pride in one's name. In the language of my people, my name means 'Silver Tongue.' I am sure yours name has more meaning to you than you realize."Ish stopped in front of a door, and took out a key, and unlocked it. His wife, K'Shir'Hrt'Ka, spotted the woman that Ish had dragged into their home and stopped him. Ish's looked at the ground, trying to seem sorry.-K'Shir in Tusken- "Ish I keep telling that you cannot keep bringing in Outsiders without warning me. Don't give me that look! She can stay for dinner, but after that, you need to go to bed. It has been a long day at the Great Hall. I am sure that Rik'Ur has been pushing his own laws to the Council's attention, with little success..."Ish smiled beneath his mask and led Vollen over to the table, where his family of nearly 20, mostly his grandchildren, were sitting and jabbering. The younglings hushed when their grandfather came to sit. Ish spoke to his family.-Ish in Tusken- "We have a guest tonight, and we shall treat her with respect, as if she were our own. Her welcome into our midst was not what one would say warm, so we will show her that Tusken Hospitality....is the greatest in the Galaxy."Ish gestured for Vollen to sit on a cushion, the table being low to the ground, and someone gave her a cup of hot H'Kak bean tea.-Ish- "Please, Vollen Dor, be seated and join us for our meal. I believe that my wife was preparing Dewback stew....So....what brings you to the Enclave?"*Vollen felt like a dog being lead home like a bad wamprat.* "Vollen would be fine Ish am ok with that, and in truth i have no idea what my name means ill have to look in to that" *When they got to Ish's home and his partner or wife meet him. Vollen guest that he offen did this kind of thing and his wife went along with him out of respect. Vollen smile at her being respect full to them. When she was lead in she was shocked to see so many people in one place this was his family "so large" she thought to her self. She was a little overwhelmed by such a gathering but kept such things to herself she give a respect full bow and say* " thankyou." n *Once she was sat she again remembers her P's and Q's she didn't want to cause a problem she takes her H'kak tea this was her first try of it and liked it. When the question came about why she was there she looked round they had been so nice so far and she didn't want to afend them. But the truth would be better she thought* "Stew we be great thank you Ish for taking me in, and to your wife and family.....*She paused before answering*"Am sorry to say my intentions were not for the best Ish. I am a thief and bountyhuter and not very good ones in truth.. Am stuck on Tatoonie i have no money and no means in which to leave. I was told of great riches in the enclave but now i see the riches were not what they could have ment. i feel ashamed to be here now." |

As Jud'dayus reached out towards Nartaga, the Tusken reached and grabbed Jud'dayus's arm by the wrist. He pulled the man in close, the blue light emanating from the goggles in his mask.

There are far worse things than you and I have seen them. I am not as afraid of you as I am of them. You are nothing compared to them."
It happened faster than a blink of an eye. The force of a charging Bantha crushed into Nartaga's chest, his rib cage buckled and internal organs jarred from the impact as he was forcefully pinned against the wall. Jud's free hand came up in a swooping motion, lifting Nartaga off the ground several inches, the continued pressure on his chest causing the intake of air to be as painful and difficult as possible; like breathing hot needles. Jud shook his freed wrist to get the color back into his hand before making a tisk tisk motion to the Tusken. "Foolish, foolish boy..." Jud said in a low measured voice. The crippling crushing pain spread from the Tusken's core to his extremities, pinning him completely to the side of his quarters. "You still don't get it. You stole power, a great power that is far beyond you in every way. A power you have no idea how to harness or control. A power that is MINE!... You have been caught up in your Elder's supposed knowledge on the ancients, when he knows nothing! He fails you! As he failed to help your people before... Do you listen to their voices in the hope of learning more? Do they tell you secrets of the distant past? No, of course they don't, because they have none to give. All they can give are their undying screams as lullabies to someone as weak as you. Their legacy to you is only in blood, and nothing compared to the Power they owe me. The POWER you stole from ME!" Jud walked to Nartaga and looked up at him. "Now... should I take what is rightfully mine?" Jud lifted the crystal from Nartaga's robes with a twirl of his finger. The only thing keeping it from his grasp was the thin sinew cord wrapped around the Tusken's neck. Jud's fingers clasped the crystal, but then he let the artifact go, as if having a change of heart. "I could squeeze your organs out of your orifices like jam, or crush every bone in your body to chalky pulp. Do you know how? Do you know why?" Jud asked in an unfamiliar voice, tapping his index finger on Nartaga's sternum causing the pain to intensify throughout the Tusken's rigid body. Jud gave Nartaga several seconds to reply, which of course he couldn't. "Because I can use power properly. Because I have control over myself and the Force." Jud said matter o' factly. "And that ability, that knowledge did not come to me overnight!" Jud spat, before pointing at his lost eye. "Or without consequences..."
The Old Sith turned away from Nartaga, the crushing pain subsiding steadily from his extremities, as he started to slide back to the floor. "You have learned the first consequence of overestimating your new power, your stolen power and your place in the Universe." Jud looked back at the Tusken, his single eye a baleful red. "I hope for your sake, you learn from your mistakes..." The pain was gone, the pressure lifted like a vale, allowing the Tusken to take much needed breaths. "Some day you will thank me." Jud finished, his voice returning to what the Tusken knew as his normal demeanor.
"You will take me to the one you call Elder... and I expect your eyes will be opened shortly to what you have pilfered from me." Jud finished as he walked towards the wooden door to exit Nartaga's quarters, leaving the Tusken to lick his wounds or ponder over what every cryptic moment with Jud meant. |

*Vollen felt like a dog being lead home like a bad wamprat.* "Vollen would be fine Ish am ok with that, and in truth i have no idea what my name means ill have to look in to that" *When they got to Ish's home and his partner or wife meet him.

I was told of great riches in the enclave but now i see the riches were not what they could have ment. i feel ashamed to be here now." -Ish- "So you thought to overtake a whole Tusken clan? My dear, you are one of the strangest Outsiders I have yet to meet. We are indeed well off....but we have very few things of value, and we fight hard to keep them. Armies of our brethren have tried to take what we have, and they did not succeed...."Ish was cut off by his wife bringing in a large metal pot, and began handing out bowls to the many members of the family. She passed one to Vollen and bowed her head in greeting. She finally went back to the kitchen and came back with what looked liked some time of vegetable paste, and smelled like Bantha poodoo. Ish sniffed the "food" and jerked his head back. He coughed at the strong smell and turned his attention back to Vollen.-Ish- "Despite your...former intentions. As a Councilor of the R'Crurak clan, and the Twin Suns Alliance, I extend an invitation to you to stay here, so long as your stay here remains peaceful. I hope that this somewhat disproves anything you've heard of my people in the past. Not all Tuskens are as violent as the stories of those in the cities claim. They've just met the worst of us."Jud looked at the Tusken's hand clamped firmly around his wrist and smirked. This was new, the use of physical force from the otherwise passive Tusken. Jud chuckled, he was enjoying this. The friction of ego to ego, power to power. It had been far too long since someone had tried to stand up to him, and far longer since anyone had laid a hand on him. The truth of the matter was the Sith liked the anger, the build up of fury he could see in Nartaga. The Tusken was only steps away. Mere inches from the black abyss of complete rage. Jud sniffed the air, he could smell it, taste it, and the familiar shiver of glee ran up his spine at the thought of feeding off such unbridled energy. He only had to push a little more. "Your ancestors were very shortsighted. They thought that if they bound themselves to the crystals that at some point they would be able to live again after the destruction of their homeworld and their bodies." Jud looked to Nartaga's glaring mask as the Tusken bellowed he would never submit to the Old Sith. How he mocked the thought of Jud as superior and how he was nothing compared to the power that Tusken now harbored, the power of his people, the power of the Ancients. That was all Jud needed, Nartaga was primed. Primed for his fall. "But they were wrong, so very wrong, and their vanity proved their undoing. Just like yours...."
It happened faster than a blink of an eye. The force of a charging Bantha crushed into Nartaga's chest, his rib cage buckled and internal organs jarred from the impact as he was forcefully pinned against the wall.

Jud finished as he walked towards the wooden door to exit Nartaga's quarters, leaving the Tusken to lick his wounds or ponder over what every cryptic moment with Jud meant.
*Nartaga breathed, and coughed. His vision returned slowly, and he used his right arm to hold himself up. The pain that went through his arm at that moment, the pain of an old wound that would never completely heal, almost caused him to pass out. He looked down at his arm, where blood from what looked like a knife wound on his forearm began to show through his wrappings and robes. He sat up on his knees and covered the re-opened wound with his other hand. This made him wonder if it was Jud'dayus's heartbeat or his own he had felt as the wound reopened and his blood pumped faster with the power that had overtaken. Nartaga shook his head, trying to think straight.-Nartaga- "WAIT!"Nartaga stood up, still wobbly on his feet, but steadied himself. He coughed more, as the air passing through his lungs to speak was still difficult. He walked after Jud'dayus, and stopped near the man. There was anger in Nartaga's aura, sadness as well, but the most prevalent at that time was probably submission. He knew that he had lost control, and that Jud'dayus, in a way, had put him back in line. He still did not hesitate to look Jud'dayus in the eyes, and behind the goggles a complete unwillingness to fully give in could be felt.-Nartaga- "I will take you to the Elder...but I have not stolen anything from you! These crystals are one of the few things left of the Kumumgah, our Ancestors! If you know and have used these crystals before, it is you who have stolen from my people! The information that we could obtain!"Nartaga could feel Jud'dayus's frustration rise, and so Nartaga cut the subject short. Instead he bowed and gestured for Jud'dayus to follow him, but not before tucking the crystal back behind his robes, where it would not be seen.The Elder looked up at towards Nartaga's hut and sighed. So this was how things were going to happen, after all? He grasped Regina's hand and brought her close, like a parent with a child.-The Elder- "My dear, I am sorry but you must excuse me. Please watch over my Bantha in my absence. In turn he will protect you as well."Without an explanation of any kind, the Elder walked off, his staff in his right hand, using it to help support himself. After he was a good distance from the Bantha pens, he amplified his voice using the Force, shouting out to Jud'dayus.-The Elder- "Jud'dayus! It has been too long!" |

*Vollen smiles at ishad been some time since her last hot 's wife as she give her food it hot meal.*
"thank you".
*Then she thinks about what ish says was she really going to take on a whole clan just to get what she wanted, no she needed. And then she heard it again like a wave for the past or something she has hidden deep. it speaks to her as she trys to remain calm."How dear he speak to us like that, he is just sand and bones."
"thank you Ish again for your help and for this food, and ill be glad to stay as long as i can or am wanted"
*The voice rose up more at the submission from Vollen"You make me sick stupid little child, take you blasters out and blast them all start with the strongest and then work your way down his line till none remain" Vollen rubs her head she could feel a growing darkness in her and she could not control it. Part of her wanted to be evil to make other suffer like she has. She Makes a hard smile at ish she was sure he mst feel something of what was going on in her mind. She rubs her head and look for the tea which she knocks over and then she trys to stand bt stubles backwards and falls down as if drunk. "you can feel it cant you the burning darkness in you ready to explode, you are nothing if you dont inbrace the darkside"It was like her own mother was telling her to become evil and she hits the floor were she fell and quickly grads her blasters and aims then in all directions.*
"Dont come any closer i dont want to hurt you!"
*She was not in her right mind and the darkside was setting its seed in Voolen*

The elder shook his head at her thought that it was a gift to see one's past and futures show themselves to him.-The Elder- "It is an enormous pain in one's choobies. I have outlived all of my family. My children, their children...their children's children. I can see the paths that people walk, and the paths that they might walk. It is torture to know that people put themselves through such inner turmoil when they make such decisions. I even see these things in you. I see them in Anven, and Nartaga, and even the Sith filth speaking to them."The Elder reached into his pocket and pulled out a couple of dried pallies. His bantha sniffed the air expectantly, and its tongue came out and grabbed at one of the pallies when the Elder held it out. The Elder handed one of the pallies out to Regina.-The Elder- "Go on and give him one. They make wonderful companions. They are loving beasts, and very loyal. I still cannot understand why all Outsiders do not make a bond with such a truly magnificent creature." |

"WAIT! I will take you to the Elder...but I have not stolen anything from you! These crystals are one of the few things left of the Kumumgah, our Ancestors! If you know and have used these crystals before, it is you who have stolen from my people! The information that we could obtain!"
Without an explanation of any kind, the Elder walked off, his staff in his right hand, using it to help support himself. After he was a good distance from the Bantha pens, he amplified his voice using the Force, shouting out to Jud'dayus.
-The Elder-
"Jud'dayus! It has been too long!"
Jud sensed a presence before he heard the voice bellow his name. He smiled, even with the lapse of time he knew the voice. It was as clear in his mind as the day he had silenced it. Jud's single eye followed its course to a frail figure, silhouetted atop a slight dirt slope towards an opening in the Tusken huts and the outer Enclave structures. Jud continued towards the figure, opening his arms wide as if he were going to embrace a long lost friend, or kindred spirit he had not seen in years since parting ways abruptly. In a manner it was a reunion, a reunion he had never of expected. The Venerable Sith was in fact seeing a dear old friend, a dead old friend. Jud smiled ear to ear, starting to giggle slightly at this most dubious of encounters as he neared the man known as the Elder.
It seemed like the Old Sith was actually going to lock the Elder in a brother's embrace before he stopped a couple steps away. "Seeing you alive..." The Old Sith started. "Brings up many conflicting feelings." Jud said with a bow to the Elder. "Feelings of both joy and sorrow..." His voice brimmed with genuine amity towards the man before him. "Joy; for knowing what you've had to do in order to be here, yet sorrow; for not killing you properly in the first place. Please know, I am truly sorry for that: It won't happen again." Jud laughed. "So... Elder. Since we are leaving our dead names behind us. What happens know? Do I do the job a second time, and hopefully a last? Jud looked to Nartaga. "Do you have the boy try? And die before you?" Jud smirked. "Or do we sit down, have some tea, and talk about the good ol' times?" Jud cackled at the last proposal, before wiping away the laughter from his eye.
"Pick wisely, Old Friend... For your life has been long, and my patients is ever so short." |

"you can feel it cant you the burning darkness in you ready to explode, you are nothing if you dont inbrace the darkside"It was like her own mother was telling her to become evil and she hits the floor were she fell and quickly grads her blasters and aims then in all directions.* "Dont come any closer i dont want to hurt you!" *She was not in her right mind and the darkside was setting its seed in Voolen* -Ish- "I'm sorry if we upset you in any way. Here, take this. It may help to calm you down. We do not wish for anyone to get hurt." Several of the Uli-ah went to their parents, who slowly backed out of the hut, and went to go get help. Ish held out his hand, once again.-Ish- "I know of one who can help you, my dear. Please give me a chance to get you to him."Jud heard the call from behind him and ignored it. The Tusken continued in vain to plead his case of working together for the promise of more knowledge. "The information you can have. I don't care about your people, or their illustrious past. I already know what I need of them." Jud interjected. "The power... however. Is mine for obtaining totally." The Sith finished, thinking on the crystal within the Tusken's robes as he exited out the door, passing Anven and Crystaall without pause. Jud was surprised they were even still sitting there. "Lap dogs..." Jud said under his breath before allowing Nartaga to take the lead towards his Elder.
Jud sensed a presence before he heard the voice bellow his name. He smiled, even with the lapse of time he knew the voice. It was as clear in his mind as the day he had silenced it. Jud's single eye followed its course to a frail figure, silhouetted atop a slight dirt slope towards an opening in the Tusken huts and the outer Enclave structures. Jud continued towards the figure, opening his arms wide as if he were going to embrace a long lost friend, or kindred spirit he had not seen in years since parting ways abruptly. In a manner it was a reunion, a reunion he had never of expected. The Venerable Sith was in fact seeing a dear old friend, a dead old friend. Jud smiled ear to ear, starting to giggle slightly at this most dubious of encounters as he neared the man known as the Elder.
It seemed like the Old Sith was actually going to lock the Elder in a brother's embrace before he stopped a couple steps away. "Seeing you alive..." The Old Sith started. "Brings up many conflicting feelings." Jud said with a bow to the Elder. "Feelings of both joy and sorrow..." His voice brimmed with genuine amity towards the man before him. "Joy; for knowing what you've had to do in order to be here, yet sorrow; for not killing you properly in the first place. Please know, I am truly sorry for that: It won't happen again." Jud laughed. "So... Elder. Since we are leaving our dead names behind us. What happens know? Do I do the job a second time, and hopefully a last? Jud looked to Nartaga. "Do you have the boy try? And die before you?" Jud smirked. "Or do we sit down, have some tea, and talk about the good ol' times?" Jud cackled at the last proposal, before wiping away the laughter from his eye.
"Pick wisely, Old Friend... For your life has been long, and my patients is ever so short."
*The Elder waved his hand at Nartaga, a signal to make himself scarce, which Nartaga did without a problem. The Tusken High Councilor quickly left the presence of the two ancient beings before him.*
*The Elder bowed to Jud'dayus, and when he looked back up the goggles seemed to have a feeling of a black hole, sucking one's very essence within them. A smile could be felt, even behind the mask.-The Elder- "If I was following the events in Nartaga's home...you are already filled to the brim with tea, as well as anger...No....Things are going differently than I have planned. You always were a wild card, as is Nartaga. Both of you are controlled by self-given missions. Yours is, mostly, power. His is, he believes, to aid his clan in re-discovering their Ancestors. You two....are more alike than you believe, so do not judge the young man. He is...after all...still a blink of the eye to either of us."There was a strong animosity in the Elder's voice as he spoke to Jud'dayus, but he tried to maintain a non-violent atmosphere. He lowered his presence in the Force, to show he was not looking for a fight, at least not in the Enclave.-The Elder- "I am afraid trying to kill me, would be as difficult, if not more, than someone trying to kill you. I am more sand than flesh now. You helped see to that..."The Elder put his hand to his chin, trying to figure out how things were going to go from here. The Sith before him was strong enough to destroy everything within the Enclave. The question was would he try to, despite the risk of hundreds of highly trained Tuskens, Shamans, and not to mention the crystals thrown in. Nartaga would at least be a thorn in Jud'dayus's side, but the Elder was really the only real threat, the way the Elder saw it. The rest would die, if things went sour.-The Elder- "It has been how many years? Several thousand? I am sure, despite the anger you often let loose on surrounding people...that we can act our age, no? After all...think of the example we would set for the younglings."The sarcasm flooded out like a dam had been broken. The Elder felt his own anger rising. Rising at the very presence of the man in front of him, and the things that both of them had done to remain alive.-The Elder- "So you know of the recovered crystals, now.....So your hunger rises, like a hungry beast, who gorges himself until his master comes along and beats him. The only problem is...you answer to no one living. You are unaware of how long I have been planning this. I would suggest...that you go back to your hole in the ground." |

While Nartaga and Jud had left to another room Anven just sat there enjoying the rest of his tea peacefully and apparently silently with Crystaall. Anven had thought it best to leave Jud and Nartaga to talk privately and in some sense show them respect towards their business with each other. Though he did keep his senses up trying to feel what was going on beyond that door they had disappeared behind hoping Nartaga wasn't getting himself into trouble. It was honestly hard to just sit there knowing Nartaga is alone face to face with probably the most deadly sith in all the galaxy…..he kinda wanted to be there if a fight broke out. Other than facing certain death it would probably be a fight to remember in his mind that is if they would even survive a fight with Jud which wasn't likely.
Despite his thoughts he continued to sit there quietly sipping away at his tea as Nartaga's conversation with Jud continued on. Eventually he began to notice that they were raising their voices at some points in their conversation and he knew things probably weren't turning out well in there. It was around this time Anven began to feel darkness come from that room as he felt the two men's anger begin to grow and he just sighed as he hoped Nartaga didn't make Jud kill them all. When Jud finally came out of the room and started to walk by them Anven's eyes just followed him and for a minute he even watched the door as Jud walked out wondering if they were all going to disappear in a brilliant flash of light of destruction. When none came Anven just sighed and went back to sipping his tea finishing the rest of it once he was done he placed his helmet back onto his head getting ready to head out and do something instead of sitting here all day.
