A new master, a new story

[Kyla Foy]

Nick Gamastar had been taken of within a spaceship. He had a few of the books from the sith academy, where Darth Kyros was located. He was having these books which were mere puzzles. It just gave him something to do while the long travel was going on. He had finished in merely hours, while advanced acolytes were taking weeks maybe months to solve them. He smiled towards the stormtrooper as he said, "This book is also done~ How long till we are at the destination?" His voice cute but, behind that cute voice and adorable look, the stormtrooper knew that the child was a sith.

It took another full day till he came at his destination and he came out of the space shuttle. He looked around as he thought, "Hmm, I see no tombs.." He continued to walk and follow the stormtroopers, who knew the exact location where he had to be and entered an office. The young boy kneeled and said, "Hello, my new master." His voice sounds adorable. The clothes, he wore were from the acolytes, that had their studies at Dromand Kaas, but his clothes were of the highest quality, handmade by lady Kyros herself.

A kid. Only a kid. That was something different. During these days, so many adults were expected to learn the Force, so meeting the young ones was like a miracle. Or it may have been that only for Malificete, who had only recently been brought back to life. It was no surprise she was seeing the world around her with a new look, her opinions and desires had been changed and her current state was an example of a perfect Sith - a person who serves the Dark Lord, somebody who doesn't care of others, somebody who sees the Sith Code as something supreme. It was weird to think that only maybe a year ago, this young woman was studying under Lady Kyros herself and during the first lesson, she had accidentally recited the Jedi Code to the Sith Lady.

Now it made Malificete chuckle.​

​

"Gamastar is your name, am I right?" the ghostly figure asked once when she had heard a young boy's voice right behind her. The tone of this woman was high, yet it was empty and was backed with a windy sound which was the outcome of Malificete being resurrected.

 

[Kyla Foy]

Nick kept on staying kneeled, he heard the woman her voice and it was sounding less kindly and playful than Lady Kyros soothing voice. He was sure to give the woman a chance at least before judging her. His head kept on looking down, his left knee touching the ground while his right fist was placed onto the ground, "My entire name is Nick Gamastar, Gamastar is my last name, ma'am." He told her his voice still sounding as adorable but not playful for the time being. [member="Darth Malificete"]

Malificete's red eyes glared into the boy's as he was speaking. She sensed how he had turned more serious. Good, because she wouldn't want to play around with an Acolyte. Acolytes were to be taught, the Sith Lady thought, and so she was against any kind of fun stuff. Well, maybe only if the Acolyte really promises to be good at what he is doing... and what Malificete puts him through.

"Let's skip the boring part. Some people start with hearing how the young ones recite them the Sith Code, but let's do something else," the ghostly figure spoke as she walked a bit closer to the boy. Her white silk dress was quite creepy as it stayed as huge as it had been when she was standing. Her white hair was quite as creepy.

"Rise, my young pupil."​

​

She doesn't break eye contact, not even for a little moment, and her eyes remain cold, just as cold as if the kid had been looking into ice. Whether he'd look away or stay like he was would be up to the boy himself.

"What have you learned? If you have, of course?"​

 

[Kyla Foy]

When his master had turned to him, he was almost able to observe her looks. He was able to hear step after step as she got a bit closer to Nick. The top from his eye vision, made him able to see what she was actually looking like. She had this very long white silk dress on first sight, it was beautiful, but the darkness around her gave him the chills. Just like she was watching his every single inch of a move.

He was told to rise up and so he did as he was told. He was able to see her eyes, they were empty of emotions, nothing like he had seen ever before. Then he was asked what he had learned and within his eyes, he showed a sudden discomfort. The discomfort came from two things, the woman who was giving him the chills throughout his entire spine and that he had never actually learned that much from Lady Kyros. The only thing that he had learned was something, he had known from birth."I haven't gotten a lot of lessons from Lady Kyros... The thing I know is how to heal myself."

"Kyros?"​

​

Her voice echoed back from everywhere, even though she hadn't spoken loudly at all. She smiled, for the very first time. This boy knew how to heal himself. That was good, very good. But what was even more intriguing was that... he had once learned from one known by the name of Kyros. She had once been a Master for Malificete herself, so the woman had a little bit of a nostalgic feeling.

"This woman knows what she is doing, that is what I can tell you. I am assuming she was as cruel with you as she was with me?" she asked from the boy, though she didn't expect an answer.

Then the woman took a lightsaber from beneath her dress and her smile faded. "Let's see how good you are."

"I don't expect you to parry me or anything, but if you can do that, I would love to see you doing it. I would like to see how good you are at healing yourself, instead."​

 

[Kyla Foy]

A sudden echo going through the room, this was something that he had never ever experienced before. He had not been in the tombs this only gave him inexperience. It caused him to take a little bit of a step back. He had seemed to look at the eyes of the Sith Lord for a moment. He quickly shook her head, "No, master..." He rapidly shook it for around two seconds and he said, "She was never cruel to me at all." A little bit of a calm aura came around him as he seemed to enjoy to speak about her, a smile appearing onto his face, "She called me a very special child...That if I focus enough, I would be able to do stuff no other person will be ever able to achieve."

After that the woman had seemed to grab a lightsaber. He quickly yelled, "Eek!!" He was terrified, "I have never gotten a lightsaber nor combat lessons." He told the woman as he could hear her words, but did she want to fight him or did she want him to get hurt and heal his wounds.

"Alright, I will let it be this time," Malificete spoke as she saw the boy's reaction. After all, he was only a kid who was maybe not older than ten years old. She couldn't tell, she was not good at assuming things. But she could tell he was a lot younger than her. Maybe this kind of training had been good for Lilith, but using the same techniques herself, on a young Acolyte... That may have been a bit too much, she had to admit.

The lightsaber of silver coating dropped down on the floor.​

​

"Tell me, how old are you?"​

 

[Kyla Foy]

She seemed to answer him so calm as if it did not matter to her that her hopes were not going up. She was now not able to see the boy healing himself. He was slowly getting back to calmed down as the lightsaber with a silver coating fell onto the ground. He said, "Oh master, you dropped your lightsaber." He had said as he kneeled and took it from the ground, holding it into his hands, he answered her question with, "I am seven years old, master~" He was still so innocent, he had nothing of a sith personality only that he had emotions.

It was the first time Malificete showed real emotions during this meeting. The emotion was surprise, shock even, if you'd want to put it that way. "Seven..." she spoke quietly, as if she had been stating a fact. She had been something like that old when she had been left to raise her younger sister. It's the only thing she remembered from her childhood. The only thing.

"How can a kid so young even think of joining the Sith?" she asked. It was a real surprise, because Malificete really thought all young kids wanted to join the Jedi, because they were so good and powerful... Typically adults were the ones who understood what life meant and... how Sith were better in a few matters.

 

[Kyla Foy]

He saw her emotions and so only grew more confident and calm around the woman, that was his master, "Mhm, I am seven years old." He told the woman as he nodded. He heard that tone in her voice of being surprised. "Aren't acolytes suppose to be around my age?" He asked her as his puzzling mind could figure out that it was something the woman was shocked by the fact of him being an acolyte. He started to open up to her as she opened up to him in the way of speaking with an actual emotion, not that they were truly -bonding- yet, but he was daring enough to speak. "Well, I have been a slave since I was a baby boy, Lady Kyros had bought me and released me that same moment when the deal was done." He said kindly as he laughed playfully after that. "My owner before on Tattooine was always very angry that I had higher grades and won from his son in games. He punished me every day and the next day, I had no wound to be seen.~ It hurted a whole lot, but I never got wounds that stayed" He had added to the last line, which was telling about his owner and why he was picked by Lady Kyros

"Your story tells me of how you have suffered. I can see why you are with the Sith," the woman said. Not remembering much of her past and being unable to learn of it ever again, she didn't know what it all felt like, what it felt like to have abusive parents or... in this case, owner. She didn't know what to do now. She really had no want to continue what she was about to do, but... there was a need to train Nick. She had to come up with something. "You are strong and I sense potential, Kyros wouldn't speak words of lies, and I trust you to a degree." But she still wanted to be sure the boy was true about her former Master.

"Recite me the Code of the Sith," she ordered with her voice turning bland again.

"Now."​

 

[Kyla Foy]

He was looking over towards the woman all the time when they were speaking, he nodded to her, but there was no other reason that he had join the sith. He was bought and taken as apprentice by Lady Kyros. That's his entire sith joining story. He smiled to her as he said, "I trust you also, master~" He had told her as he thought, "Lady Kyros is really famous~" Her face changing again as he had to recite the sith code for the woman. His eyes kept on looking forward as he could not come up with an instant, but his eyes remained open as he spoke the lines.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me."

The lines came one after the other, he was lucky it was within every single learning book of the sith. The sith code was something that would hunt him down his entire life, "That's the entire sith code, ma'am"

"It was," she stated the fact with a bland voice, just like the sentence, nor the Sith Code, would have meant nothing for her. "It seems to me that you know what the Sith stand for, but one must also know what their enemy is like." A smirk appeared on her face, but that spoke only of her slyness, not about her true feelings. One could tell Malificete was about to do something crazy, something Sith didn't do often, something a Sith shouldn't do. But the woman was different, and even though she shared some traits with her former Master, she was in general nothing like her. One thought weakness must be gotten rid of, the other thought of how weakness the determines the strength of a person. But that was another, longer story. What was more important was how Malificete, without hesitation, spoke the following words:

"Recite me the Jedi Code."​

 

[Kyla Foy]

He had told his master the entire sith code and knew most of the meaning of it, by the studies within the book, but he did not know what was coming next. He saw his master sly smile across her face. He did not know what the jedi code was. It was maybe that he knew one line but the rest he had no idea about. He thought the jedi being the opposite of the sith and so he tried to say it in a very confused and nervous type of way, "There is no passion, there is peace? Uhm...I have no idea, master. The jedi code is something I never learned and are not at Dromand Kaas and any other sith academy, I have been with. Not in the puzzle sections at least." He had told her as he had only hoped that his master understood.

"Understandable. Most Sith nowadays don't even want to speak of the Jedi. Nor do I, but I think knowing the enemy gives a huge advantage over them, thus I have decided to include the Jedi Code in the studies of the newer Initiates," Malificete spoke while walking around the boy, inspecting him, trying to find weaknesses inside him. She wasn't going to get rid of them, but she was going to teach him how he could turn them into strengths. She found the typical Sith training method to be invalid, because she knew exactly how one can't get rid of all of their weaknesses.

"Unlike Sith, Jedi have many different forms of the code, variations, to be precise." She didn't look at the boy anymore. "I will now go through all of them."

"There is no emotion, there is peace.​

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.​

There is no passion, there is serenity.​

There is no chaos, there is harmony.​

There is no death, there is the Force."​

​

She sighed for a moment before she continued.​

​

"Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.​

Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others, rather than rule over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training."

A deep breath again. Reciting the Jedi Code was something she had not done much anymore. A Sith reciting it was rare and probably even forbidden.

"Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training."

She looked at the young Acolyte again. "Like you could have heard, the last two were just a bit different. The latter one came into existence after the Battle of Yavin, which is now the central point of our understanding of time. But anyways, could you tell me what you understood about the Jedi from these codes?"​

 

[Kyla Foy]

It was that it was understandable for his master that kept his cool. He did not have it many times, that he did not yet possess the information about something and so he heard the reason, why he wouldn't be known of it. He listened to her knowledge and opened and closed his eyelids. His eyes had changed of color it had a red purple like color. His brain was working in a quicker way progressing the information into his mind giving possible solutions, to what every single little thing could be of meaning too.

"The first code is the opposite of the sith code. There is no emotions, there is peace...The sith use their emotions to strengthen, their passion and so gain strength." He looked for a moment towards the ground, while he kept on speaking in a very serious unchildlike fashion, "The entire jedi code seem to do anything to proof the sith code wrong, what the sith use seem to not be used by the jedi, except the force." His eyes focused now straight back to the sith, "The ending is showing that you live on within the force."

He remained once again quiet for some time, "The second and last code seem to be a correction of the previous code. It is allowing them to use their emotions, but with certain boundaries, rules that has to be followed. There seem to be a flaw though within this entire code...They seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.. sounds alright, but combine that with the previous line. Jedi serves others rather than themselves...When you gain information it is done for your own passion, this passion gives you strength..and so on through the entire sith code." Nick spoke in a kind of blur way. He knew what he was talking about, but the way he explained things were sometimes missing certain words.

Malificete nodded as she was listening to the boy's talk. The points he brought up seemed to be quite right, so she continued, "Now please tell me how do you understand the Sith Code. Tell me what each line of it means." If they boy was able to do that, Malificete would have been really happy. If not... she would have done something crazy, she knew that. So she really hoped the boy knew what to tell her.

"But that is not all. I want it all to be accompanied with your own opinions of the Sith, with your desires, wishes. Tell me what you think. Being a Sith means being free, so you must let free the thoughts you have been keeping inside you. In which order do you do all of that is up to you."

 

[Kyla Foy]

It had seemed his master seemed to like the way the boy was thinking. She did not notice or thought it mattered that his eye colors had changed. It meant that he was in a certain puzzle state, it allowed him to gain more percentage of his brain to be activated and used. He showed a smile, "Very well.." He sat before sitting down onto the ground. His eyes looking through her legs while both his hands went onto each other and against his chin. His knees risen up as he started to speak, "The jedi and sith both see each other as light and darkness, they have the very same sight but different at the same time. Through victory, my chains are broken...It has more than a single meaning. The chains can represent rules, but also limits onto someone. In this case we have to start out from the top of the sith code as each meaning helps to uncover the secret of the next rule." He sat as he began to speak denser, "Peace is a lie, there is only passion...This shows the line of the jedi code, There is no emotion there is peace. The sith say as long as there are emotions, as long as people have a passion to gain something, there will never be peace. It is nothing, but a lie.. My passion in this case would be going to figure out the most difficult type of puzzles."

"Through the passion, I gain strength. If you have a passion for something, you will gain certain abilities to become better at that field of expertise and you will gain knowledge, which will give you strength... Knowledge is strength." He sat before nodding and remaining quiet. "Through the knowledge you gain, you gain the power to succeed, the mental state of mind to get the job done." He stood up after that before looking at the woman

"Through victory succeeding, I will have no limits in the abilities that are ahead of me. Let the force lead us and free us from any restrains."

Suddenly he stopped and his eye colors changed instantly back. He made a smile, "Is that correct master?" His voice sounding playful once again.

"That is an interesting view," Malificete had to note. Another thing she had to note was that she had never thought of anything like that. Every Sith studied the philosophy of the Sith Code, but she had never understood the code like the boy did. That was... interesting. And slightly embarrassing, but she did not show it out. Because she was quite emotionless. Which was quite against the Code, but...

"I see you know the Code well, so I don't have to teach you in that. But let's move on. You look a lot like a sorcerer type of a person. Were you a Jedi, you'd be called a Consular. But Sith Sorcerers are stronger, they are fairer, they are far better." Only a few things were similar between these two people, and one of them was meditation.

"Tell me, what do you know of meditation?"​
