[SIZE=10.5pt]To avoid getting an annoying crick in his neck, Mullarus took a knee when listening to Lord [member="Tirdarius"]' short lecture on fear. He was right, of course, and it was a slap in the face for Mullarus. No matter how many acolytes he could bring together with the promise of knowledge, there was always something new to learn. When the Lord was finished, Mullarus nodded, humbled as he said, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"Thank you, my Lord. I'll remember that next time."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Suddenly, the first Sith Knight whom had arrived at the Valley, [member="Darth Atrace"], had spoken up to him. [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"You speak of Force Rage, yes, Knight Atrace? That sounds like a fantastic place to begin. Take Lord Tirdarius' teachings to mind and show the students to control their passion, rather than surrender to it."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The golden-haired woman then made an introduction of her own, announcing that she would be teaching Form II and V. 'Djem So, hm? Even I may be interested in that', he thought, having had his eye on learning Shien Form as well as that variation for a while. He gave a nod to [member="Greta Kohler"], as if approving, if that really mattered.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]A few more faces had arrived. A bit late, but Mullarus wouldn't make a scene about it. He recognized one, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt][member="Konrad von Grimmelshausen"], [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]being a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Military. A sith acolyte as well, apparently. What really caught Mullarus' eye was the form of a hooded woman behind him, with immense power drawing from her. He didn't have to hear her voice in his head or see her face to recognize her aura through the Force, but the moment he heard her soothing voice in his mind, he couldn't help but smile and give [member="Darth Azurea"] a response through his own practiced telepathy. [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]I'm glad you could make it, Setzi.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Finally, Mullarus got off his knee and stood up, clearing his throat to gain the attention of the acolytes. [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"We seem to have attracted a big crowd now, I say it's time to begin. Welcome to the Valley of the Dark Lords, my fellow Sith, the resting place of our ancestors. The Valley is a big place, so i'm sure you can find a good place to take a few acolytes and show them what you have to offer them. In case you missed it, Knight Atrace here will be teaching acolytes Force Rage, how to properly channel your anger into your power. Knight Kohler will be teaching lightsaber forms II and V. I, personally, will be going over there," [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]he said, gesturing closer to the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"to teach what I know of Force Grip. It's a known fact that it can be used for far more than just crushing your foe's windpipes."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Mullarus gestured to Lord Tirdarius and Darth Azurea, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"As for our two Sith Lords we have here today, pay attention to them and they will show you what they have to offer as well." [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Mullarus had to clear his throat again. The horrid dryness of Korriban was getting to his voice and making it more difficult to speak loudly. [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"Acolytes, I urge you to pay close attention today. Do not be blinded by arrogance. I can promise you that every Sith Knight and Lord here offering training for you has far more experience than you. Be humbled by their teachings, and you may learn something that could save your life one day."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The Knight jumped off of the broken pillar he stood upon and began making his way to the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]"Dismissed, and good luck, Acolytes."[/SIZE]
