Learning A New Art

[Krayzen Dratos]

Krayzen had always wanted to dwell into Alchemy. It was just the fact that he did not have the time to do so, always wanting to prefer learning the powers of the force. Now, Krayzen required Alchemy if he was going to be able to make his armor. A person that liked to be independent, Krayzen decided to accompany Velon in his trip to the Fresia Temple(before it was destroyed/raided) to learn about Alchemy, at least in terms of it's ability to enhance attributes of something.

The armor that Krayzen was doing was one of the most significant projects that he had ever undertaken. If there was ever any One Sith design that had gone through more development threads than he had done, Krayzen was not aware of it.

"My Lord. Lord Ielor has received our comm signal."

"Patch it through."

"Yes sir."

Soon, the Sith Inquisitor appeared.

"Lord Ielor, I trust you are on Fresia." Krayzen stated, awaiting the Sith Lord's response.

 

[Velon Ielor]

Velon sat at the immobile dark side nexus that was the Fresia Temple. Undoubtedly one of the best sites for Alchemy in the One Sith, this was the place up, and coming alchemists went instead of the Sith Academy Temple on Glee Anslem, which had moderate books on alchemy. Then again, Velon had not been to the library a lot at Glee Anslem, so he was not really aware of what was going on.

"Sir, General Dratos has sent you a comm signal."

The former Dark Jedi Master nodded, and soon, they were patched together via an encrypted comm network that was reinforced with socket guards, and redundant firewalls.

"General Dratos, I am here on Fresia. I hope you are on your way." Velon stated.

After Krayzen's response, the comm signal wold turn off, both Krayzen and Velon having finished their conversation.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

"Yes my Lord. I am certainly on my way." Krayzen stated.

He then remembered his dream, and it served as Krayzen's main motivation of developing this armor. Krayzen would not allow himself, and other One Sith personnel, or members of their order to be slaves.

The comm signal then went off, and Krayzen soon arrived at Glee Anslem via the usage of his shuttle.

"Once again, thank you pilot."

"Your welcome my Lord."

Soon, it descended to Glee Anslem's hangar, having entered the planet's gravity well.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

Krayzen then arrived at the Sith Academy at Glee Anslem, and the One Sith Knight expanded his range of the force, augmented by the dark side nexus that was here, as well as as his highly developed Anzati sensory organs. After a few minutes, Krayzen was able to quickly determine where Lord Ielor was, and he approached the Sith Lord.

"Thank you for agreeing to teach me Alchemy. This is my first lesson on Sith Alchemy, so I hope that you can be able to respect that I have no knowledge on the art apart from a few things." Krayzen stated, waiting for Velon to respond.

 

[Velon Ielor]

"Always a pleasure General Dratos. I am more than happy to teach, and help people that are critical to the One Sith's foundation."

The Sith Lord then nodded, and signaled Krayzen to follow him toward the Temple of Pain. "We will be entering the extensive library, arguably one of the best in the galaxy in terms of learning about Sith Alchemy."

"I would also like to thank you for allowing myself to go and capture that Jal Shey member. I am very happy to be able to report that the man did his work well, and is doing it as we speak."

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

"Excellent Lord Ielor. I look forward to seeing the library, and perhaps I can be able to see it later when I have some time." Krayzen stated.

He then heard about Velon speak about the captured Jal Shey member. The man was extremely important in this project. Without him, Krayzen would have to extend the development of the armor by some time. That was why he had placed the man under heavy guard. He did not want the Jal Shey member to be kidnapped at all.

Soon, they reached the entry point of the library.

"Shall we begin?"

 

[Velon Ielor]

"I completely agree. Commodore Kas also helped me in it, and some of his ships, albeit small ships, but still capital ships per the Anaxes College Systems were nearly destroyed. I endangered his men, and I do not want what he did for me to go in vain. That is why I completely agree with you my Lord." Ielor stated.

Soon, they did enter the Eternal Library, and the door twisted by 360 degrees closing it. Velon snapped his figures, and the library came to light, other people being here.

"I wonder where that book is." Lord Ielor stated.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

They soon entered the academy, and Krayzen could see that the books each had a mysterious dark side aura to it. He made the logical guess of some of this books consisting of writings of many Alchemists, both famed and ordinary, known, and unknown. It didn't really matter who created them, as Krayzen wanted to use them simply for his benefit, and for that of his program.

He wondered once the armor was produced by his company-Drakos Systems if the armor would be in high demand. He expected a contract soon by the One Sith, and Krayzen hoped to be able to sell it to the Sith Assassins. If it generated a lot of revenue for his company, and if he got contracts soon, this armor would help propel Drakos Systems to 'Tier III.'


"What book is this, and how will it help us?" Krayzen asked, waiting for Velon's response.

 

[Velon Ielor]

"This book was produced by a famous alchemist millennial ago. He was killed by a Zabrak, but the Zabrak was smart in keeping his records in order to pass it down to future alchemists, and adherents of Sith Alchemy." Velon stated.

The Zabrak was Velon, and he had fought the Sith Alchemist millennial ago. If only he would be alive now, and we were born in different times, in the same faction Velon thought with regret. Fortunately, he had done this, and now it was in the usage of the One Sith.

"Finally, I found the book." Velon stated.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

The Anzati Powerhouse then so Velon had found the book. The Sith Lord then went to remove the book, Krayzen maintaining his usage of force sense to make sure that no one would attack, or harm them. Fortunately for him, he had nothing to worry about, considering the fact everyone was conducting their own business.

"Correct me if I am wrong Lord Ielor, but my assumption is that this book will teach myself how to augment anything I wish via the usage of Sith Alchemy. Is that right?"

As he waited for him to respond, they both began to go toward the entry point of the library, seeking to exit it.

 

[Velon Ielor]

"You are correct in your assumption General Dratos. The aim of this book is to teach force users, talented or not about Sith Alchemy. This will certainly help you establish a solid foundation, much like how the Zeison Sha established a solid foundation for you in terms of the core powers, and how the Dark Jedi of The Bogan established the solid foundation for me."

Soon, they reached the entry point of the library, and the door turned 360 degrees. As it did this, Krayzen and Velon walked in a normal manner, finally having gotten out of the library.

"Now we will go to the laboratory." Velon stated.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

"Excellent; I look forward to learning about Sith Alchemy, and gaining a new power in my skillset." Krayzen stated.

Despite wanting to learn about it, Krayzen would not learn any combative powers that were part of Sith Alchemy. He did not believe that he needed it, and the only reason why he was learning this with Velon's aid was out of necessity of wanting independence; more importantly however, he wanted to learn about this in order to develop his armor.

They soon arrived at the laboratory, Krayzen seeing a model of his armor lying down horizontally in his bed.

It was nearly time to start.

 

[Velon Ielor]

"General Dratos, I would like for you to read this book. It is mostly theory, but it does have some application concepts, and examples, and it will help you roughly understand what you will experience. After that meditate, and gather up your force reserves. Even though you probably know this, use the force nexus that is in the temple. It has helped me, and it will help you." Velon stated.

Velon then began to meditate, still keeping an eye on what was happening inside the room. His highly developed sensory organs would warn him of anyone that would arrive in this room, hostile or not.

We are nearly done Velon thought, as he meditated.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

"I will do that then Lord Ielor." Krayzen stated. He wondered what the arrogant Sith Lord would have called him if he was not a Sith General. Krayzen, unlike other One Sith Knights was not acting like Velon was superior to him. In the One Sith Order, sure he was. The man was a Sith Lord. In terms of the overall aspect of things, that was not the case, and they were probably on equal footing.

The OS General then opened the book, and began reading it. It took him a few hours, but he had been able to decipher, and get a solid foundation on the basic theories that were related to Sith Alchemy.

Now it was time to meditate.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

It was time to meditate, and the One Sith Knight quickly began to meditate. After some time, Krayzen had built up his force reserves, with the aid of the nexus, so it would be a much more quicker process.

"Lord Ielor; it is time to do the ritual." Krayzen stated.

As he waited for this to occur, the One Sith Knight cracked his knuckles, while reiterating the Sith Code.

I hope this is worth it

 

[Velon Ielor]

The Sith Lord, having built up his force reserves, with the bonus effect of increasing his connection to the dark side, prepared himself for the ritual. He cracked his knuckles, and prepared for the ritual. Firstly, a pool of blood appeared, both from Velon and Krayzen. Sithspawns had also been sacrificied in order to aid in the ritual.

"Send lightning to the orb." Velon ordered, as he began chanting in the ancient Sith language.

"Tave jen' garthaz sekleti tarnas nun"

"Tave jen' garthaz sekleti tarnas nun"

"Tave jen' garthaz sekleti tarnas nun"

Soon, the blood that they used, as well as dark side energies began to appear around the armor, as it was levitated in the air; the ritual had began.

 

[Velon Ielor]

He could feel the armor being imbued with dark side energies, the armor becoming more stronger, and more resilent. Velon could also feel a mini dark side nexus appearing in the armor; obviously, it was not as powerful as the one on Fresia, Coruscant, Korriban, or Glee Anslem, but it certainly something that could help any wearer of the armor.

As they continued to conduct the ritual, the armor began to glow in red. The ritual was approaching it's end. Soon, they finished the ritual, and the One Sith Inquisitor signaled Krayzen to stop the ritual.

"Tell me how it felt conducting the ritual Krayzen." Velon stated, waiting for the Sith Knight to respond.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

"I have never experienced something like that in my life. It is so thrilling. " Krayzen stated. He wondered to himself the after-effects of conducting a ritual like that constantly. Perhaps his body would suffer dark-side degredation, something the One Sith Knight had avoided despite two centuries of using the dark side to aid him in his struggles.

I better be careful. I don't want to end up like Lord Zash of the Old Sith Empire he thought to himself, the One Sith Powerhouse nodding at Velon.

"Thank you for teaching me this my Lord. I will not forget this."

After that, Krayzen left, and went to the hangar.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

After arriving at the hangar, Krayzen soon went to the exit hatch of the shuttle. After arriving at the exit hatch of the shuttlle, he entered it, and signaled the pilot to activate the engines. The hangar bays quickly opened, and the shuttle was out of the hangar, going in an upward vector.

When it had finished, the One Sith Knight ordered the pilot to jump to hyperspace. Soon, the shuttle jumped to hyperspace.

Krayzen's mission was now done. Two more things to go, and he would be finished.
