I Suppose You're Wondering Why I've Gathered You Here Today...

Carliah Dakrone

Walking the Path to Redemption
Ord Mantell, this was a planet the Mad Queen of Widek never believed she'd find herself on, though today she was not acting as the Mad Queen. Today she was Carliah Dakrone again, a simple Miralukan girl looking to once again escape from the terrible situation her life had placed her in. Her usual clothing was replaced with a grey hooded cloak over a simple black vest and black pants. Heavy black boots covered her feet as she stomped through the streets of the planet. She made her way into the cantina she had requested everyone to meet her at. She scanned the crowd with her Force Sight as she made her way to a table in the back. Yusan had stayed back on Widek. It was better for her to travel to this meeting alone, after all she didn't want anyone dangerous to find out about her plans. The Queen sat with her back to the wall, waiting for her contacts to come to her.
 
Within the Nar Shaddaa enclave, Tugoro lay idly in his dorm, feeling rather restless for some reason. The boy was usually able to occupy himself easily, be it through listening to music or simply training. Today was a strange day however, for the young apprentice did not feel like doing any of those things. It felt as if he had already made plans for something, but what? Perhaps it was the force trying to tell him something? Sighing in annoyance, the youth could only stare up at the ceiling in boredom, finally cheering up he received a message. Holding the datapad in his hand, Tugoro would begin to view the message, finding it to be very brief and vague. More so than he often was, and for that reason it bugged him. Leaping to his feet, the youth would approach his wardrobe, cradling his chin in the palm of his hand as he pondered on what to don for this outing.

Walking down one of the many corridors, Tugoro would begin to adjust his brown leather flight jacket's collar, the rest of his attire which consisted of a simple tank top underneath and beige pants fitting comfortable to his physique. It was an outfit that the boy preferred to wear over most, for it made him blend in to the regular populace of planets such as the one he was on currently. Sliding his hand over the door console, Tugoro would step through the archway, his booted feet tapping against the floor as he entered the hangar, gazing upon his prized possession. That being his Aleph star fighter, the vehicle in which he considered his baby. If anything ever happened to it, he would never forgive himself. Climbing into the cockpit, the Jedi would begin to fire up the engines, patiently easing the throttle in order to take off slowly and calmly.

The sleek Sith designed craft would begin to hover up into the skies, blasting off suddenly, exiting the atmosphere within moments. The flight academy on Carida had served the Padawan well, for he was able to apply what he had learned while piloting the elite super fighter. The vehicle was incredibly powerful, and Tugoro always handled it with the utmost care. That, and the force. After a few hours, the hyperspace jump he had initiated would cease, leaving the Aleph over Ord Mantell, where he had been told to meet. Sure, Tugoro was rather suspicious of what was to go down, but he was not one to back down from anything. Easing the ship into the planet's atmosphere, the youth would quickly land, paying the hangar owner as he exited the establishment, and entered the streets.

Instead of using the force to bolster his speed, Tugoro would kick back and begin to walk at a relaxed pace, taking in the area in which he was surrounded by. It was a new place, one he had never been to before, and so he was naturally curious as to what it was like. After observing and walking for awhile, the boy would come across the cantina, the meeting place that had been arranged. Walking through the door, Tugoro would stand in the entrance briefly, craning his neck from side to side in order to examine those around him. The usual. Except one. So, it had been [member="Darth Vivaldi"] who had summoned him here, but why? It seemed that only time would tell, as the boy began to approach the woman, a blank expression upon his face.
 
In Umbris Potestas Est
There was one individual, one person who had a connection to Carliah, though she hardly knew of the woman's name or her Sith identity. All that she knew was that the woman was a Sith, known as Darth Vivaldi, who has some sort of connection as to allow her request for visitation to end up on Circe's datapad itself. And traditionally, when a Sith required Circe's presence, it meant one of two things - either they required her knowledge in sorcery and arcane matters...

Or they needed life insurance.

Either way, such was why Circe was here - her appearance a bit worn and shaken. She raised an eyebrow, pausing over the Miraluka on the far side of the room before stepping forward. "Well... I heard you have need of me, Miss..."

Vulpesen's boots tapped against the floor of the room as he entered, Ace standing on his shoulder. Certainly, any request of help from a sith was odd for him, but considering how the message gave at least a minor explanation, he felt compelled to follow it. And even as he entered, the force only gave him a good feeling and no sense of dread. Seeing Circe, and oddly enough, a jedi, he turned to face the host of the meeting.
"Lady Vivaldi I assume. Might I ask what has brought us here?"

Carliah Dakrone

Walking the Path to Redemption
"Thank you, please have a seat, all of you. We'll be hear awhile. Grab a drink, maybe some food, I have everything covered. You're all here because you have skills or resources that I am currently in need of," she gestured for them all to sit. Her hands were folded on the table in front of her and glass of wine rested next to them. She looked over all of them in turn before continuing.

"The One Sith have nothing left to offer me, but I can't exactly leave, not alive anyway as far as they are concerned. Tugoro, you and I have talked before. You seem to be an honorable young man so I feel that you would be willing to help me. Vulpesen, what happened to Alexandra was a tragedy, and part of why I no longer wish to be a part of the Sith's games. Circe... You helped Yusan, and by extension myself, by placing his soul in an amulet after his death. I can't leave the Sith alive, so I need someone to kill me."

"Tugoro, you admired Yusan quite a bit. If you were to come to me seeking revenge for what I did, the Sith would not question it. Circe, you have the ability to transfer my soul to an amulet and eventually a new body, and Vulpesen... How would you like it if Yusan and I arranged for the planet of Svivren to become part of the Vitae? This would be in exchange for protection and transport for myself and my family off of Widek, of course. Circe you can do what you like with Widek if you aid me."

"Tugoro... Please I ask you this because I have no other options. If I were to simply leave they might harm my kids, or Yusan. By aiding me you will be saving my children's lives, Yusan's life, and my life. I will not actually be dead at the end of this. You needn't actually kill me either. I just need to suffer a wound that would have the capabilities of being fatal, so before I die Circe can come retrieve my soul and it will look as if I died from said wound. I would not ask these things of any of you if I had another option." Carliah made a bit more of an effort towards convincing Tugoro than she did the other two. She knew this plan would be very hard for the Jedi to go along with, but she needed him. The other two she was fairly sure she could get to go along with it. Circe would love to get her hands on Widek, and Vulpesen had a family of his own. He would be able to understand the need for her to protect those that she loved.

Sensing the other force signatures enter the cantina, Tugoro could not help but liken the scene to that of a bad joke. So, a Sith Lord, Padawan, and Rogue master walk into a bar. You know, that kind of joke. Even so, it seemed the punchline had yet to be delivered, and thus Tugoro would continue through the cantina, eyeing [member="Vulpesen"] and [member="Enigma"] suspiciously. He hadn't the faintest clue as to who they were, and wasn't about to let his guard down for a second. Slipping into a seat slowly, the youth's attention would fall upon @Darth Vilvaldi as she spoke, his ears making sure to listen to everything that was said carefully, and cautiously. At first, the Sith Knight was rather vague with him, not even addressing the reason as to why he had been summoned. Shrugging slightly at her words, the boy would lean back, remaining silent and expressionless for the moment as he listened.

What had happened to Alexandra? Had she died, or something? Frowning slightly as the woman spoke of things he was uninformed on, Tugoro would look to the Rogue Master who was present, wondering just who he was. The youth's jaw would hang open slightly as he looked to who was known as Circe, one that was apparently able to transfer souls? What the kark? What kind of witch craft? Completely baffled by disbelief, the Padawan would roll his eyes subtly, wondering why anyone would want to be in a amulet anyway. Probably because it led to a new body. Slowly craning his head to look at the Knight, Tugoro would remain visibly calm and controlled as Yusan was mentioned, a Senator that had been allegedly killed in the past. It was true that the boy had looked up to the man, though what did he have to d- Revenge? Woah, woah, woah.

Obviously against the idea, the lad would recoil in disgust, running a hand through his silky brown hair in a stressful manner. Everything that had been discussed went against everything that the boy himself knew, and therefore there was a natural conflict within him. He had taken the lives of sentient beings before in the past, sometimes without a second thought, and sometimes with. Even so, all of those scenarios had quite hostile, leaving the Jedi no choice. This was something different entirely, it was just weird, someone asking him to basically kill them. He knew that deep down Carliah was not a bad person, but Tugoro knew little of the others around him, and was unsure as to why he should help them profit. There was still a possibility that the boy would be willing to aid them, but he wasn't sure what he got out of it other than an even more scarred psyche. Opening his mouth slowly, Tugoro would speak almost tonelessly, voicing is opinion in a brief fashion. "I don't know..."

"You're joking." Circe eyed the Padawan on the other side of the room. "You are being handed the opportunity that every Jedi relishes - the chance to kill a Sith of superior rank. It's something you'll be able to talk about for a long time." She was becoming somewhat frustrated. "Your entire existence revolves around the destruction of the Dark Side, Padawan... Take the opportunity while you can."

Hopefully, he wouldn't make it to where Circe would have to do the deed herself. It seemed wrong to do so.
 
Vulpesen listened to Carliah's words and at first, he couldn't believe her words? This plan, seemed to somehow combine stupid, dangerous, and the near impossible into one crazy solution of KARK NO! Still, it was her life at stake and as the person who would be providing a home within the vitae if it all went well, he saw no reason to decline, especially since they could aid him with the influence on yet another planet.

He was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Circe railing on the apprentice. "A jedi's job is not to kill Circe. It is to protect. They save death for a last resort, or at least the true jedi do, something this boy seems to be." He turned next to [member="Tugoro Taidarious"]. "But Lady Vivaldi is right, you are perfectly positioned for this mission given your history with her. Your job as a jedi is to protect and as strange as it might sound, killing [member="Darth Vivaldi"], at least on her terms, will actually do a great deal to protect her. In this one instance that is."

Carliah Dakrone

Walking the Path to Redemption
"Not just me. You will be protecting the lives of my children and Yusan Fenn as well. The Sith have already done so much to harm my kids. Vornskr went as far as tearing them from my body and genetically altering them to grow at an accelerated rate. They never got to be kids. They should only be a few years old and instead they have the bodies of teenagers, and so had to be taught to behave and think as teens as well. They will never have the lives of normal people, at least as far as a childhood is concerned. Please Tugoro, by doing this you are saving them from having to live their lives as pawns of the Sith. The Sith have hurt my family enough already. This is the only way we can get away in a moderately safe manner." Carliah knew she was asking for alot from him, but she had no other options. "Yusan is willing to try and train you as thanks for this, and if we manage to gain control of Svivren you can come and go as you please, or even stay and take over as a personal guardian or something for my family. We will give you anything you desire as repayment for this deed. I know it is alot to ask, but believe me I would not be asking if I thought there was another way." [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] @Enigma @Vulpesen
 
Scowling at the other Sith as she spoke, Tugoro would become rather annoyed by the fact that she thought she actually knew what she was talking about. Or maybe she was doing it on purpose. Tugoro had bested Sith stronger than him in the past, and was considered to be of Knight level in his prowess of the force and saber combat. Killing [member="Darth Vivaldi"] was not something he would relish in, and neither did his existence revolve around the dark side's destruction. Glaring at [member="Enigma"] with his emerald eyes, Tugoro's attention from her would soon be drawn away by [member="Vulpesen"], who actually had some wise input. Listening to what he had to say out of respect, the boy would remain calm and composed on the outside, despite the inward cringe he experienced due to that one remark. He was no true Jedi, and he knew it.

The youth also knew that he would be the perfect candidate for 'killing' Carliah, and could see how it would protect her. Perhaps he was more inclined to do so now, but it still did not sit well with him. Turning to look at the one he would actually be inflicting pain upon, Tugoro would listen, mulling what she had to say over in his thoughts. He didn't care much for the training offer, knowing it was something simply to get him on their better side. The same could be said for the position he was offered, but it really did not interest him. What really got to him was the kids. Staring down at the table for a brief moment, it was obvious that some sort of deeper process of thought was going on within the lad's mind. "Fine." He spoke firmly, crossing his arms over his chest.
 
In Umbris Potestas Est
And so he accepted his purpose. Circe nodded, merely waiting for the opportunity to perform her part in the grand scheme of what was to be done. For now, she would take a step back. "I will need something to store her essence in for transit, until she can be put back into a new body. Lady Vivaldi, would you be willing to partake in a ritual with me?" Circe needed to bind a fragment of her spirit to an amulet, or some other object, in order to allow for there to be something to tug her spirit back into a material body with. It seemed simple enough, after all.

Vulpesen smiled as [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] accepted his role.S uch would certainly make this better, even if the Tenevi could feel a sort of doubt in the boy. So long as he could put on a convincing show, all would be well. He leaned back in his seat and turned to watch Circe as she explained her part of the plan. For this to work, they would all have to play flawlessly, especially when it came to the magics of sith revival.

Carliah smiled, getting up and actually hugging the padawan. "Thank you Tugoro, this means alot." She turned to Circe and nodded, following her as she began to walk away. She turned back to Vulpesen to say one more thing before she left. "This needs to happen fast. When we all leave here, give me a significant amount of time to reach Widek. Once I am back the plan begins. Yusan will meet you at the docking bay with the kids. Get them to the Vitae as fast as you can. Circe will arrive after everything else has been finished. Tugoro you're welcome to meet with us after everything is somewhat back to normal. I believe this meeting is finished unless you have more you'd like to discuss." [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] @Enigma @Vulpesen
 
Every movement that [member="Darth Vivaldi"] made would be watched by Tugoro, his own mind probing hers in order to get a sense of her intentions as she approached. He was still rather on edge, but did rather well in not showing it as he remained completely still. The lad's face would turn a bit red as she hugged him, embarrassed by such as he avoided eye contact with the others around the table. Listening to what she had to say, Tugoro would nod his head slowly, understanding what needed to be done. This whole scenario still seemed weird to him, but he would go through with it nonetheless. Not because of what [member="Enigma"] had said, but because of [member="Vulpesen"] and Carliah. Sliding out from under the table, the Jedi would stand up onto his feet, his youthful face scrunching up as he smelled something putrid in the air. He was glad to be leaving now.

Giving the Knight a brief nod, moving swiftly from the table before calling out, "Contact when it's time," in his broken sounding basic. From there, the Jedi would leave as well, dreading the day that was sure to come soon.
 
In Umbris Potestas Est
Circe nodded, taking Carliah over to another part of the room. "This is simple... I still have the amulet you sent me after you brought Yusan back. I am going to, using a daub of your blood, bind a fragment of your spirit to this amulet. Once I do so, when you die, this fragment will draw the rest of your soul out from the confines of the Netherworld of the Force, allowing your storage within the amulet until you have a body to be transferred into. Should the amulet be destroyed between then..." She stayed silent, using her own knife-like nail to make a small nick on the Sith's finger, letting the blood drip onto the amulet as she chanted silently, a glow coalescing over the artifact as the ritual was performed.

"Now, the process is done. And I need you to die. When you are dying, I will bring this near you and take your spirit into it, then use it to give your new body its spirit in due time."

One could only wonder how long Circe would have to hold onto it for.
 
Vulpesen watched the proceedings then gave a nod before moving back out of the bar. "The doors of the Vitae are open to all. When you are ready, just call me and I'll happily take you out of sith space." With that, he made his way out and towards the exit. He had learned what he wished and despite its suicidal nature, he was proud to be a part of this plan.

"Soon as my soul is in this amulet take it to Vitae space. If we're lucky, you'll be performing the ritual almost immediately. If we're not lucky, Yusan will hold onto the amulet and call for you when it's time. Thank you Circe," Carliah replied, not even flinching as her finger was sliced open. She stared at the amulet with a bit of fascination as it glowed before looking back to the woman in front of her. Sensing the ritual was done she nodded and turned to leave. She wanted to get back to Widek fast. @Vulpesen @Enigma @Tugoro Taidarious
