Meeting a Sith lady

[Kyrel Ren]

Avalonia,Dosaan.​

​

It was a gloomy day within the city. Times like these it would rain endlessly for days,and almost seemed to engulf the city in a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. It seemed almost fitting for the Imperial capital,and for how Kyrel Ren was. Once he was a TIE pilot for the First Order,now he was what would some would call 'Vader Reborn.' He oddly enough found the title fitting as he looked up to the late Imperial Hero,and hoped to gain such a feared reputation and with the coming War against the Galactic Alliance he could gain that. He walked along the street's ignoring the stares of civilians.

He made his way inside a Cantina hoping to get a moment of solitude. He could do it within the confines of his own apartment,but felt that a public place could do him some good. Sometimes when he is not in his suit he would grab a drink every so often,but he would not indulge himself today. He walked towards the back of the bar ignoring the stares from the shady looking customers,and slowly meditated trying to ease his boredom.

The streets of Avalonia were often a place to exercise thoughts without the interruption of silence. That, in itself, was a paradox that Avedia find discomforting. Why was it, at times such as these, that she could not concentrate when she was alone? Sitting there in her apartment complex, with nothing but her thoughts made it impossible to properly exercise her thoughts. She found the silence uncomfortable at times. If she was honest with herself, Avedia would realize that one of the benefits of having been a Jedi Knight was the ability to talk to her fellow Jedi about things that concerned her. As a child, she would often to speak with Jedi Master [member="Sochi Ru"] as her Padawan learner whenever something was wrong.

But the price that Avedia had paid in the pursuit of freedom and perfection was to walk this lonely road. She was Darth Vupua, a Sith Lord of no little to no consequence at the present time. But she knew the moment she had been dubbed the honorific of Darth by her late Sith Master she would never have the companionship she once held with her former family and friends in the Jedi Order. The convoluted, murky logic of the dark side was her only source of company now, as she shifted and weaved her way through the constant, ever evolving tapestry of the Grand Plan.

As she walked down the streets of the cantina, thoughts on how she would destroy the Jedi, Avedia sensed a presence in the Force that made her pause. Averting her gaze away from the street ahead, Avedia turned her fiery gaze to the cantina and decided to enter. Approaching the counter, she ordered a coffee. She decided that if her thoughts had betrayed her and what she had sensed was nothing in the end, she would get up and leave, to continue her walk until she finally returned to her apartment to enter a long, dreamless sleep.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

He meditated for sometime drawing upon his own Rage and self loathing that was deep within him. He was once a handsome young man,but thanks to an attack on pirates he was nothing more than maybe a fraction of that. His body had cybernetic pieces all over in it. He His face half way blown to hell,and his limbs replaced with prosthesis limbs. Thanks to modern technology he could survive without a life support suit for at least two days,and that was thanks through the cybernetic implants embedded in his flesh. His vocal chords made his warm soft voice sound raspy without a Vocabulater. The reason that he was even placed in the suit was that the First Order knew of his Force Sensitivity,and so saught to create a new Darth Vader. Taking a schematic from the late Doctor Cylo Thomas Kyrel died on the operating table,and Kyrel Ren was born.

From that point forward he became a new person,instead of the kind gentle person he was,he became something of a monster. He wished to become something more than he was now. Something truly adhering to his power,but unfortunately he had no master,and so had to learn most of his abilities such as telekinesis or force speed on his own. Still even with who he was he desired more power,he desired to become stronger than who he was,even though due to his condition he could never learn Force Lightning or similar powers. He often wondered if he should become Sith,and had often wrestled with it despite his commitment to the Supreme Leader and the First Order. Despite thoughts such as that his loyalty to the First Order and the grand vision of a new Galactic Empire would never change,and neither would Kyrel even if he became Sith or not.

He snapped out of his meditation,and from what he saw from the enhanced vision of his photoreceptors was a Woman. The woman seemed to be just a normal one at best buying a cup of Caf. But underneath that he sensed a great darkness within that made Kyrel terribly curious. After she left he walked out. He cautiously followed her,using the force to mask his presence. He followed her to an apartment complex and went in slowly. He arrived moments after she went inside her apartment,and so used the force to open the door. He walked in slowly,trying to make his Mechanical steps slowly. He saw the woman passed out on her bed and stopped to gaze at her. He had one thought coursing through his mind,as he hoped his mechanical breathing wouldn't disturb her from her slumber. 'Who or what are you?'

Despite her longing for a dreamless sleep, Vupua was met with the same dreams of her own destruction. It happened the same way as it had in her previous dreams. The snap hiss of a Lightsaber blade behind her back, and a gloved hand plunging the crimson blade deep inside her through the back. She could immediately feel the loss of her locomotive functions. Her arms and legs removed to move. Her head hung forward, her gaze losing it's fire in the face of the red light that protruded through her stomach. For what seemed like an eternity, the Sith Lord hung on the blade of her killer, accompanied only by their ragged breathing and the feeling of immense satisfaction that she could feel from them through the Force, and then she awoke.

Looking down at her was a creature. No, if she was more accurate then Vupua realized she was looking up at a monster. The ragged breathing of the thing that looked down at her sounded eerily familiar. Staring up into the empty, metallic gaze of the monster that looked down at her, Vupua believed she had gone mad. Her mouth opened with a sharp gasp, fighting the urge to scream out in terror. Then it spoke: "Who or what are you?"

"I could ask the same thing," Vupua replied.

He kept looking at her finding her oddly interesting. He had sensed great power that was within her,but she seemed more like a harmless woman. Kyrel couldn't believe it. She was practically harmless,and here he was watching her sleep in her own home. Oh how pathetic he must have been,though he had to admit she was a beautiful site to see. Although he had become cold and ruthless he had a soft spot for women that he had never lost.

When he saw her awaken he became surprised. He pulled his saber from his belt,and held it tightly ready for anything. She seemed like she was about to scream,and in any case he would silence her,but some fear struck him and he didn't know what to do. He just held the saber without even moving a finger on the activation. He heard her speak. "I could say the same about you." He said in a cold tone through the metalic baritone of his vocabulater. "Who are you? I sensed you in the Cantina and i felt great power,but perhaps i was wrong. You seem like a harmless woman to me."

One of the reasons why Vupua had selected the First Order as a place to call home was because of the Knights of Ren. With so many individuals who used the dark side working for the government, she didn't have to conceal her prowess in the Force from others. She had met and worked with the Knights of Ren before, having shown a select few Darth Revan's Sith Holocron. It suited her agenda to keep herself hidden in plain sight without having to limit herself. Using her calculative and cunning mind, Vupua quickly deduced that the monster that towered over her was a member of the Knight of Ren. The dark side hung onto his armour, and he had an air of intimidation around him that even unnerved her. He had felt her power and had been subsequently drawn to her.

"My name is Avedia," Vupua said quietly, pushing the overalls of her blanket off herself and rising to sit up right on her bed. "You were not wrong about me. I do possess power." Bowing her head so her fiery gaze bore into Kyrel like daggers, Vupua said darkly: "Why are you in my home?"

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel was hesitant it was as if the woman despite her youthful and charming looks,seemed to look at his very soul with her eyes. When he focused more on sensing her,he could feel the great power that was there,and so he wasn't wrong. He was tempted to strike her down this very instant,and walk out. But he had decided against such an action as he did not know what would happen to him,nor did he have the slightest inkling of what she could do so he had to play this very cautiously. He hooked his saber back to his belt,and met her stare with his own.

Her name was Avedia as she said,and than she confirmed that she did possess great power. He was petrified by her stare,and nonetheless shook it off as he replied. "I am Kyrel Ren. A Disciple of Ren,and i tracked you from the cantina,because i am curious about you. I would like to know you is all. So i stepped in uninvited and watched you sleep. You liked slightly adorable might i add." He chuckled lightly trying to lighten up the mood a bit.

Bemused by the monster that towered over her, Avedia rolled across her bed to the other side and stood up. Her Saberstaff and Lightsaber were left on the board the Initium, several miles away from where she was now. They were currently useless to her. As she stood up, Avedia felt Kyrel's thoughts and they betrayed him. Subtly Avedia acknowledged the Lightsaber that hung from the mans hip. "Well, thank you for your compliment, but I wasn't aware that the Ren could enter someones home with due cause or reason. I am not a criminal."

He had no idea what was going to happen. Worst case scenario the woman that was before him could attack him. Either way still he had to be very careful,the one wrong move could result in his death,and he didn't want that on his hands at all. He stared at her,his hand on his lightsaber just in case things went south. He replied cautiously. "Well that is true,and you don't seem like a criminal,but i sensed a great darkness and that made me curious. So i didn't want to waste any time and so i barged in."

Avedia would have smiled, perhaps even laughed at Kyrel as he displayed his knowledge and use of the dark side, if not for the transgression that the monster had taken by entering her home without invitation or real just cause. Instead, Avedia folded her arms across her chest and stared at the man with a malevolence that would have made weaker men buckle. "I am unsure what to say to that, if I am perfectly honest."

Realizing that this man served the elusive Supreme Leader of the First Order, Avedia did not know what to say to Kyrel. It was probable that the Supreme Leader knew of her from her previous interactions from the Knights of Ren. Perhaps he had seen this Kyrel Ren to investigate, perhaps even kill her? Putting her paranoia aside, Avedia suddenly asked: "Why are you in that armour?"

 

[Kyrel Ren]

He saw the stare that she was giving was made of ice,and some men would do nothing,but cower in the face of her. Kyrel stood his ground. He had faced the brink of death,and lived becoming stronger than ever. He had faced zombies and reptilian invaders,and lived to tell the tale. No matter who this woman was,he was not scared in the slightest. She could even attempt to kill him,and he wouldn't flinch for all intents and purposes he was already dead. When she asked him why he was in the armor,he was a bit taken back and so spoke coldly not betraying how he felt. "I was once a man called Thomas Kyrel. I had everything for me,a good career within the Imperial navy as a pilot,maybe a wife or kids in some sense,and i was very kind as well. That man died on a mission against pirates,his TIE was blown to pieces and so was he. Scientists thought it would be a good idea to bring him back as a servant of another form. They had some obsession with the former Sith Lord Darth Vader,and so created a life support suit with the same concept in mind. In the end Kyrel Ren rose from the ashes a servant of the dark side,and nothing left but rage and self loathing,and a desire for power as well. I wish to live up to that title of being Vader Reborn,as i stand before you now."

As Kyrel explained how he ended up in the suit, Avedia listened intently and learned much. She had not heard of Darth Vader before. Coming to a conclusion that Vader must have been a Sith Lord that had lived before the Four-Hundred Year Darkness, would remember this conversation should Vader ever turn up again in conversation or passing. When Kyrel finished talking, Avedia nodded her head and feigned sympathy for the man.

"I feel sorry for what you have gone through, Kyrel, and I understand that this lust for power that you speak of was why you have trespassed onto my property, but you must understand that this is unacceptable. I do not like my privacy being violated." Sighing, Avedia lifted her hands to her hair and tied it into a bun at the top of her head. When she finished, Avedia said: "I have met with many members of the Knights of Ren and I have shown them long lost knowledge on the dark side. I do share what I know for free, however. There is a price for my knowledge."

Having shown the previous Ren's the long lost Sith Holocron of Darth Revan, Avedia planned to one day call upon the individuals that she had shared it's contents with for a favour. Perhaps she would require someone to be killed, a certain item to be retrieved or protection. If Kyrel aspired to become a Sith Lord, by following in the footsteps of this Darth Vader, then he might be of used to her. The Force worked in mysterious ways, and whilst Avedia was uncomfortable with how the two had met, Kyrel had been drawn to her like a moth to flame and so she would use him, for the Force was bent to her will.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel was curious, he had wanted to learn more about the woman, and he desired more power than he was given. He wanted even more than he could achieve. He had wanted to become as feared as Lord Vader was,and see a Neo Galactic Empire rule the galaxy, and become it's enforcer,but he did not know who she was,Sith,Dark Jedi,or even a former disgraced Ren for all he knew. Something about her drew him to her, he could say that it was mere fate but nothing happens by accident. It was what the force willed. He than saw how angry she was,and she had a right to be. He had tresspased onto her property unannounced and while she was sleeping nonetheless. That would make any woman upset no matter what.

He looked at her skeptically as she mentioned dark side knowledge. He said in a inquisitive,but almost a demanding tone. "You said Dark Side knowledge. Are you a former Ren,what are you,who are you?" He had to ask the question as it only seemed fair,ignoring her displeasure in the process. His curiosity getting the best of him,and so he wanted, no needed to know who this woman was even if he had to choke the life out of her to do so, which to be honest he was tempted to but like his previous actions decided against it.

"I sense your curiosity. You long to know what I am. But consider this: we have only just met. Would you so easily share your secrets to someone who had just broken into their apartment? I do not know who you are." Avedia walked around her bed and made her way to the door that led out of her bedroom. "I am a friend to the Knights of Ren. I am also an associate of Avreet, who is the reason why I am on Dosuun."

Before Kyrel could inquire about the Mon Calamari, Avedia said: "Do not ask me about Avreet. I do not know much about him." Leaving her room, Avedia made her way into the sitting room and glanced at exit to her home. She wondered if she could demand for Kyrel to leave. After all, she was well in her rights to do so. For the moment, she allowed her calculative mind to work and so decided to keep her options open.

His eyes widened underneath his mask. He was starting to grow frustrated by not getting clear answers from her, but he knew that he had to exercise patience as whatever was left was slowly becoming thin at this very moment. He followed her out of her bedroom,and into a living room of sorts. He had many questions for her,but all she was doing was avoiding it. He than stood there as she gazed towards the exit after speaking. He allowed her words to sink in slowly into his mind to process it. It was true that it would be foolish to exploit one's secrets,perhaps he was too demanding for his own good,and so remained silent for a while his breathing the only sound that was being made.

He than heard the name of Avreet. He knew the name his eyes widened. That was the name of Lord Veles,and as his eyes widened it all seemed to make sense now to him. The great power he had sensed,the dark side knowledge that she claimed to possess. He said in a surprised tone. "You're a Sith."

Avedia turned to face Kyrel as he guessed that she was a Sith Lord. Her upper lip curled in annoyance. It was no co-incidence that as soon as she mentioned Avreet's name that this monster of a man would guess who she was. It meant that Avreet had revealed his real name to Kyrel. She wondered how many others knew the name Darth Veles. "Then there is no point in avoiding your questions anymore. I am a Sith Lord."

 

[Kyrel Ren]

[member="Avedia Lacroix"]

He didn't know what to do. His duty as a Ren was kill both Jedi and Sith alike. But there was a problem she lived in this home,and was a friend to the First Order,and so he couldn't attempt such an action. He than looked at her,staring her in the eyes. He didn't know if it was fate, or luck that he had wandered into her. He had shown a commitment to the First Order, and to the will of the Supreme Leader, but he even desired something more, something more fulfilling. Perhaps there was a reason for bringing them together. After a moment of silence he said in a questioning tone, as he said not knowing what else to say.

"So Sith, what now now that i know who you are? I have never been in the presence of a being like you before."

"It would be preferable if you could keep this a secret," Avedia said, sitting down on the edge of the sofa and watching Kyrel with a sombre gaze. "My enemy is the Jedi, and I am aware that their is hostility between the First Order and the Galactic Alliance, of which the Jedi serve. In exchange for my secrecy, I can be most helpful to the Order of Ren. We have mutual enemies and goals."

 

[Kyrel Ren]

[member="Avedia Lacroix"]

He met her somber gaze with a hard stare of his own. He paced around questioning on what to do,he had a desire for power and greater knowledge that he could discover with the help of a Master, and a Sith lord nonetheless that was placed right before him. He than had a desire to kill her,as he viewed the Sith as nothing like what they used to be. He hated the rabble that called themselves Sith, and mostly preferred the ancient Banite Sith of old that Vader was once, he had discovered that through his studies of both the light and dark, and most would assume that in this day in age the old way, The Rule of Two was dead for all intents and purposes,and the last known practitioner was the Sith Darth Wredd. Nonetheless he looked at her,and said curiously while attempting to shield his thoughts with the force, not wanting to betray his feelings of the matter.

"So what's preventing me from killing you right now? And if i do,what could you possibly offer me that i want?"

 

[Darth Ayra]

Avedia laughed at loud at Kyrel, enjoying his threat and his understanding of the dark side. He sought to use his position as a member of the Order of Ren as a means to subjugate her, as well as his strength and power. However, the Sith Lord's senses were attuned to the Force and she had felt the mans fear of her powers, which were more advanced than this.

"You will not try to kill me. You hold no power over me. It is I who could kill you, before you can leave this place and report to your Master, or the other Ren. The only reason why I have spared you is because you have not yet proved to me that you are not entirely useless. If there is use for you, then I shall spare you, and if not, then I will kill you. That is the way of the dark side."
