Fresh Lessons for Fresh Faces

[Matreya]

Damien hefted a massive rock from nearby, hurling it through the air at his apprentice. Calling out, "No. Attack. Do not hesitate. You should have had it cocked before exiting!" At the last possible second he jerked the small boulder to a stop, the force of the launch causing the wind to blow against Echo's face.

"You are going to be a weapon, an agent, made for the Sith, taught by me." He continued, "That means that you cannot be weak. You must be willing to kill."

Echo fired and then ran and fired again still moving closer to her master hoping to be able to hold onto such a powerful weapon as this.

[Darth Tremor]

Tremor grabbed a staff, slid over to Darth Pikirian pretending to attack him, but then he jumped to the other side and kept teasing him. Tremor was trying to distract Pikirian so Echo could strike him from the back. Hopefully, the plan would work, but the emperor was wise, so Echo and Tremor had to be careful.

 

[Matreya]

Damien did not even flinch upon the feints by Tremor, but kept his focus on Echo. Why they had not taken a moment to speak things through was beyond him. As much as they both were trying, it wasn't unified enough. Here were two acolytes that sought to face a Master. This had been done in the past, with mild success! But not this way.

When the next shot came, Damien would hurl a lsrge rock at both apprentices. This time though there was no draw back. They needed to see it, analyze the situation, then act, or else end up with wounds.

Echo attempted to roll out of the way but ended up just in the way of the other boulder that had been hurled at Tremor. She took it but though the pain she continued to move. She would attempt to get Tremor to come over to her and talk it over

[Deneve Verd]

She watched this with an eerie intensity, something about the way her eyes flared was the only indicator that she was taking notice, the briefest frowns would decorate her features, before she rose and glanced at where her shoes were. A calm expression of breath was given before she closed her eyes and tapped into the force, willing her shoes to fly over to her. Opening her eyes, she would reach out and grab her shoes with a small grin. Placing them on her feet, she would glance at those training before shaking her head and heading out. This was their session, she had Sith sword calling to her and such she would go and Fetch it.

Damien glanced to his side, watching the form of his wife as she left. She did that frequently...

He would speak with her about that. He bore no qualms with that. Just would like a warning about it. Maybe a location so should she have him as back up if she needed it.

Appearing before her, an illusion of Damien winked, "Will you be returning tonight? There's always the chance I won't see you for a while."

"I have a few things to ready for the dinner.. I wanted to cook you.. Unless of course that isn't to your liking?"She actually blushed, she hadn't meant to blurt out her plans but he had that affect on her. She offered him a smile then simply walking away grumbling up his good looks and thief affect on her.

The illusion faded, while Damien grinned broadly. With a feeling of delicious swagger, he reached into the Force and bombarded the other two with it. Echo would find she could see easier, while Tremor would feel stronger. Both were now faster, and had been flooded with what felt like an unlimited source of adrenaline.

When Damien is happy, everyone else benefits.

"Come now." He called grinning, "Surely you two can do this? Stop a man that sits on a rock? Let's see you double that effort!"

It was then he realized Lilith had yet to show. Now he decided that she would need to be spoken with.

[Lilith Engelis]

She heard his summons and she decided to come. Slipping off of her perch, a blood covered Lilith would make her way towards her master. Emerald hues, held a crazy light within the depths and Crimson locks hung in wild disarray.


"I am here.."The woman's voice came out hoarse, she may of overused her vocals cords doing actions better left unmentioned to any but herself. Stepping forward, she would glance at the retreating frame of Deneve then give her master an intense look, one that stated she knew a secret.


"Instructions?Though I imagine you want us to come at you. That's what it seems like by the way those two are floundering like a fish out of water " Was all she murmured shooting the other two apprentices a look.

[Matreya]

Damien stared at her just as intently, all the while he held out his hand as he summoned Lymmahtun. The blade whipped through the air to his awaiting hand. Pointing the blade down at the woman for a long silent moment, he then flipped the blade into the air. Shooting his hand upward, he slapped his palm against the tip of the blade. The result was it shooting handle first at the woman, like an arrow, straight as a razor edge.

He did not tell her to catch. But she seemed the kind to be capable. Hence her being named his First Apprentice.

Whether she easily caught the blade or not, he slowly lowered the undamaged hand and called out, "Your reputation surpasses you. Thus I took you on Lilith. But this the one warning you receive: eyes off of my wife. I don't care what kinds of looks you feel she owes, or if you think you know something about her. Eyes, hands, everything off. Understood?"

"Echo, Tremor, change in plans. Attack Lilith." Damien called. His eyes never wavered from Lilith's face. He had zero doubt she could take both acolytes, it was simply her nature. But when she began, she would occasionally notice odd occurrences. Such as her leg being jerked outward when no appendage nears it, gravity seeming to increase.

Lilith Engelis would be his prized student. She needed to be pushed hardest of all.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Echo would quickly turn about. This was the lady she would have to surpass if she ever truly wanted to be her masters #1 student. She would quickly lift the bowcaster and send a hail of ammunition towards the woman whom now she had grown to see as a rival instead of an ally

She knew he would react and by the force of his reaction she knew where is weakness was. Not that she'd ever harm a hair on Deneve's head. The girl was to be her daughter in law. So when the sword came out, laughter spilled forth, her sanity clearly lacking at this point in time. Oh if only he knew what kind of night she had. She was seeing red and it was delicious.

"So, master. I take it this is a bad time to mention I've seen her naked before you?" Yep, she knew she was going to regret that. But, the one thing she had in her favor was no matter what pain was caused Lilith would just shrug it out. It was when he launched his sword at her that her hand shot out and caught it, her shoulder being popped out of place due to the momentum. Oh yes, this was going to be glorious. She would show him just what she was capable of. If she happened to maim the other two in the process oh well.


Hefting her arm up, she would give the sword a few practice swings before turning her gaze on the other two, they were her prey and such her stance moved into that. The added gravity and little hiccups, would only enhance the haze she was currently stuck in. "I take no responsibility for any injuries earned from this.." Her word voiced that she was fighting to harm, she wouldn't sit there and let these two that couldn't even get close to their master .



"Too slow!" Lilith would call up, yanking her arm up and using the sword to block some of Echo's attack. It wasn't long before she grinned and simply dropped the sword and moved towards Echo, her movements slow and purposeful. Yes, she would paint that girls hair red with her own blood.

Damien cocked his head, listening to those forbidden words. Did it matter in the long run? No. He didn't know if he was her first, nor how many lovers she had before him if he wasn't. What mattered was they shared love...

Yet it pissed him off just like she guessed it would.

Launching from the rock, he landed in a run that was almost a blur. He wasn't even enhancing his speed, simply using the velocity aquited to his body. When he neared, he swept himself downward into a scissor kick for her legs. All the while he also solidified the meager telekinetic pressure, into a solid blow aimed at her front. Whether either succeeded, he next launched out his most dangerous non mental power: Force Drain. With bound Spirits being constantly drained, it being an inherent special trait, and the fury driving it...

Well they would see what she had now.

It also was now apparent things had changed. She was going to be punished. The others were to no longer interfere, but to observe.

[Lilith Engelis]

She had expected nothing less from him, his reaction was priceless. So it may come as a surprise to him when she let him attack her. She winced on that one. Hell maybe she should antagonize him more often. Staring up at him with a crazed look, she would begin speaking slowly.

"You're mistaken if you took that as something Sexual. Her and I live in the same house. Though, you should work on reacting in such a way. Someone could get the silly idea in their head to snuff out her life.. Though, you may do that yourself.."

She had just insinuated that he would kill Deneve. Well from what she saw, he very well might be that girls downfall. Would she voice that particular piece of information?Not at this point in time. He was acting with those tedious emotions so she best behave and let him punish her as he felt the need to. She apparently had committed a no-no.

Echo had had enough with this arrogant little girl thinking she was all that and talking trash to her master and his wife. She had had about enough, She unleashed hell and she didn't even know how she did it but with in the moment she was floating 3 foot off the ground her body having a deep purple aura to it. She was launching rocks at the woman and making sure her master and the other acolyte were not being harmed as she launched boulders towards the woman and then it kind of just exploded and Echo landed on her face unconscious

[Matreya]

Atop the woman, he was not even breathing heavily. He continued his Force Drain, while blocking the rocks with his own body. Once Echo was unconscious he called, "Soldier, take her to the medbay. Have her looked after by the primary physicians!"

His eyes never left Lilith.

She was beautiful, just as his wife, only in a raw and damaged way. It was odd to be attracted physically to his wife's potential mother in law. Yet here was pinning her, while she submitted.. his body reacted of its own accord. He wasn't sure, but he thought there might have been a flexing of his muscles that he hadn't brought about.

"Do not antagonize me." Damien said, attempting to keep himself calm, "That is a quick way to die. I don't know how to control emotions I never had until I met that woman." Pausing he continued to meet her gaze, "She is your superior. Speak of her as such. Nothing less."

With that he rose, and followed the ship that had taken Echo. His mind wandered if he had imagined his body reacting to her. She was infuriating. Maybe she was simply reminding him that he was once insane as well. Or maybe his body wanted more than Den..


No. He thought, she is my love. I would die to protect her, or if she requested it.

[Lilith Engelis]

"Emotions that are making you act foolishly." She shot back before rising on shakey feet. She wasn't phased in the least bit. If anything, she was only slightly disgusted by the show of emotions he had given. Rubbing her skin in an attempt to shake off the grossness that was him. She parted her lips to say one final thing to him before thinking better of it. She would let him see on his own and boy would it be lovely when he saw for himself.

Giving one final glance around, she took in the area before simply making her way back towards her ship so she could get the hell out of there and wash his touch clean away with her own beloveds. She would have to explain her injuries of course and then soothe the anger that she knew would follow.

Tremor got worried about Echo. He asked Pikiran, "Master, would you like any assistance? I barely know that girl, but I feel like I need to protect her."
But why? Why was he so worried about Echo? Why did he feel like he needed to protect her? She was just another acolyte training with him, but there was something special between Tremor and Echo. He couldn't react fast enough to even speak to her because he was so confused. What was happening?
