Memorials

| @Darth Shara |

Ayra nodded her head. "Thank you. The Omen's are in orbit of Coruscant. They cannot be brought to a planet's surface for more than one hour, thirty minutes. Oxygen is poisonous to them. They are literally alive. The Graug under Vulcanus figured out the method of combining Vong technology with their own. They are powerful things." She turned her gaze to the construction site. "Where are we?"
 
[member="Darth Veles"] would've been right, if it were not for Cale's past. He had been conditioned to turn, in a sleeper state until the time the Dark Lord called on him. Cale couldn't turn even if he wanted to, the agents of the Dark Lord didn't have any room for error. So the stoic sleeper agent held his demeanor as he began assisting the workers in constructing the memorial. Simple telekinetic assistance would've done it, but instead he shouldered a durasteel beam and began moving it to where it would be needed. This was the Dark Lord's will.
 
The sudden appearance of more people surprised Varis, so much that he found himself moving deeper into the construction site. He stopped within sight of Darth Shara and [member="Alicia Drey"] knowing better than to intrude on their discussion. Instead, he began using his powers to help nearby workers. There was no need for conversation anyway, this was a building project.

It had been a long time, since Keldan had the pleasure of being surrounded by like-minded people. People who weren’t all filled with hubris, people who didn’t lash out just because their emotions said it was okay. People.. who were in control over themselves and their surroundings. The men and women who made up the old Sith Empire weren’t any of that, arrogant, eager to show off their supposed prowess in a thousand and one things and foremost cruel. All qualities which together made the worst conversational partners ever.

Keldan didn’t kid himself, he wasn’t a good man. Wasn’t a righteous one and neither did he concern himself overly with the ramifications of his actions. In the end he was a Sith, he was an evil bastard who in the end only cared about his own goals. But this didn’t mean that pragmatism was beyond reach, the One Sith tried to show that they cared about their members. Which… was an interesting concept to Keldan, and honestly he wanted to try it out.

As much as he was an egotistical bastard, it didn’t mean he couldn’t help out his allies. More your associates are content and happy, less likely it is that they will try to backstab ya. At least, that’s what Keldan’s opinion on the matter was. Besides, they even considered him somewhat of an equal, even though he was just a Knight. One who used to be a King, but a Knight nonetheless.

At any rate, at the moment the former King was busy organizing logistics and the sort. Pretty boring, but someone had to make sure poodoo didn’t break out and secrets were being kept.

In his close vicinity he could see their big Brother Shara, discussing matters with some girl. Seemed to be pretty full of herself, if you asked Keldan. But nobody did, so he kept his trapper shut.
 
I shouldn't have been allowed to pass that easily, I expected the eldori to give me a bit more trouble than that. Still, should never question my luck. I passed by the mothers meeting consisting of a herglic, a mon cal and a....well, wasn't sure what the third one was. There was a wookie too but he wandered away as I passed by. My eyes flicked over the group, catching the dangerous glitter in the herglics eyes. Hion the herglic, formerly Jedi Knight, came to the darkness and was killed by the Jedi. But when does dying mean anything in this galaxy any more.

I fought back a smirk, feeling the tension in the air between the group. This was a game I was good at a game that had seen me in the upper echelons of the old Empire. Someone's neck would be broken, my credits were on it being the Mon Cal's, but it wouldn't be public. Not when there were other faces and powers to witness it.

The amusement that glittered in my eyes vanished as I blinked and averted my gaze, passing behind the herglic as I did.

Polite conversation had been an observed trait. Dignitaries, nobility, the gentry. He had watched the customs and the courtesy expressed in various cultures in his roaming of the cosmos. The bowing, the scraping, the gestures of good will and fortune were locked in tight, memorized and even rehearsed should the need arise. While the physical gestures, and tone of the voice was something Nazo was familiar with, the character of those that had used such politically correct terms did not mesh with the ideals and thoughts he had already gleaned from his current mentor. Civility among the Sith - he had not known this aspect, and it puzzled the space slug while he watched and listened to the discourse between Veles and Hion. They were pleasant with one another, even benevolent and showed humility. Stranger and stranger this rabbit hole went as he peered into the interaction of two beings who radiated with the power of the Dark Side. Curious.

While the Herglic had defended Nazo's telepathic position on the matter of his friend - the reply of Veles had not sat well with the enigmatic wanderer before him. Few and far between were Nazo's conversations with others - in really any capacity. He'd not had experience in others actually challenging his intellect, or his logic. The concept was foreign, but he could gather that the Mon Calamari had been mistaken in Nazo's original intent. Having to receive clarification from the Herglic only proved that point in the slug's mind. These were the Sith who had taken Coruscant by storm - who had leveled the temple, and had forced the Republic to flee their home planet. It was a lofty thought now to think that these were those involved. His diagnosis of the situation had been passed within moments, and his attention had therefore also turned. Evident by his altered course, the seven foot tall creature began to step way from the group, while the Gizka trailed behind him, skittering about between the durasteel legs that clinked lightly beneath his robes.

Materials had been laid out in massive piles, sitting and waiting for droids and other beings to come and use the raw resources to build and shape this new vision. The slug's mask shifted, eyeing the cold and gleaming metal that laid in massive beams, creating sturdy and intimidating piles. A ringing hunger passed through the slug's food-centric brain. The call of nourishment was answered with a metal hand coming to sweep over the long beams. If the slug could have grinned, he would have been. Fresh metal, just sitting here for the claim - or so he surmised. The fact that they were building a temple was lost on the wandering entity. He was here for himself, to satisfy his curious nature - and of course to find more nutrients for his ever present hunger. His right hand placed palm down onto one of the girders and his mask'ed head tilted back. No sound was offered, but the form of Nazo remained fixed. Minutes would pass with nothing but the wind stirring his garments, until the first signs of decay began to spread.

The shine and glimmer of the polished beam began to fade and darken. Black spots began to appear in random array around the splayed digits of Nazo's outstretched hand. The slight noise of metallic strain could be heard as more and more of the beam began to corrode into this deep ebony hue. Molecular deconstruction was occurring, as the metallic deposits of the alloy and ore were being extracted by the alien presence. The poise still remained, speaking to the effect that he was rather enjoying such a hearty meal. The cognitive processes of his mind were not focused on the consequences of his actions, and in all right didn't even consider there would be. Order and rules of any society had rarely if ever applied to the slug, and he wasn't about to start asking permission now.

The Mon Calamari almost shook under the claps of Orcus' massive hand, feeling the strength of each hit on his back as his laugh boomed through the area. No doubt the massive Herglic could squash him if he wished to do so... not to mention his Force bellow was legendary. Veles felt relieved this sentient stood on the right side, and even more so that the big amphibian seemed to understand the principle of being a Sith. How many Sith possessed the power necessary to make the galaxy a better play to live, yet used it to inflict even more suffering simply because they deemed it to be fun. Whether Orcus' orphanage provided the children with education as it was meant to or only served as a cover for something more sinister, Veles did not care that much, for whatever the case, at least the Sith looked good unlike those who publically revelled in cruelty.

Pondering about the strange concept of having the animal not as a pet, but as a friend, the Mon Cal did not understand it very much. The young Sith understood friendship, having several friends in and outside of the Sith, but none of them was an animal. In his opinion, animals were food, pets, companions, sometimes tools, but friends? Maybe if the owner's affection with their pet reached over the healthy limits and became an obsession? Veles did not understand.

One of his eyes gazed at [member="Hion the Herglic"], his whisker wriggling a bit. The other curiously orb studied the weird creature [member="Nazo"] was. Veles had to admit, he had never seen something like that before. The being started pacing away, which prompted the Mon Calamari to return to work. He offered the fellow Sith another bow, "I suppose this is settled then. Now I must help the workers," he said, looking at one man standing above them on a scaffold and waving at him, then pointing at an utility kit. Veles grabbed it with the Force and levitated it towards the man.

“The Goddess is pleased with you, sister.” Isolda’s voice would come pouring over Darth Ira with a resounding rush of pleasure.

“She stirs in your wrath and hate.” the Eye of the Dark Lord would come to a slow stop to stand beside the Sword of Vahl.

“Stories abound of you,” she would reveal to the woman, a gust of wind gently sweeping the long strands of ebony hair away from her pale face. Her profile would gaze upon the construction of the temple, delight and satisfaction akin to that of a well fed Nexu after a meal.

“They say you are a murderous by trade with true skill with the blade.”

“Even the Dark Lord delights in your brilliance.”
 
As Darth Nephthys was seemingly a mute, she would remain quiet through the exchange between Darth Isolda and Darth Ira. She knew her place and would react only when spoken to. It was her purpose after all.

What had been lost was now found, and in this she would celebrate along with the Chosen of Vahl.

Nonetheless, she would continue to oversee the construction of the defenses of the temple. Purchases made through local businesses like Blasttech and One Sith Friendly companies would provide surface to planetary turrets.

A training academy for the soldiers of Vahl would also be present here, allowing for the Ember of Vahl to utilize their vagabond Vahla counterparts and recent converts into the service for the Goddess.

Here they would train their bodies, spirits, and minds. Those not of Vahla descent would be welcomed into the Cult, but after a series of rigorous and often times bloody fiery tests to prove their conviction and loyalty.
This was only the beginning.
 
[member="Darth Isolda"]

Her voice echoed with a darkness and a distaste at the mention of the Dark Lord. "I do not serve the Dark Lord, I live for the Goddess and am here on her behalf." She folded her arms across her chest, a frown crossing her lips underneath her horned helmet. "The Dark Lord is only present in name and not in spirit or physical presence." She turned to gaze upon [member="Darth Isolda"] with crimson eyes. "I care not for anything his loyal subjects have to say, only what you or those of Vahla have to say." She turned back to the cityscape at the Temple being built from the ground.

"I need not impress the likes of the Dark Lord, as long as the Goddess is pleased with my work." The sound of metal grinding echoed as she unfolded her arms. A motion was made towards the cityscape. "All of this is nothing and will be nothing in the coming days. Something is telling me to head to Asahi, although I have never been there." She frowned even more so beneath the helmet. There was something nagging at the core of her soul, a vision had plagued her for nights. It was of a man she had never seen before. An elderly man, one who had similar features to her own.
 

Darth Odium

Odium arrived on the planet and began walking to where his Master was. The necklace he wore tingled against his skin as it rested beneath his clothing and armor. The Nautolan skin cloak trailed behind him as he walked holding the crystal from Contruum that now held nearly a thousand angry souls unable to let go of life. He did not know for certain what was happening at the moment he had been gone on a mission of high importance.

He moved quickly and as usual he said not a word. He could feel presences with his Mistress in the distance. Both familiar, but one called to the part of him that was linked to the necklace around his neck. When he had bound the Hutt Sith memories and thoughts had crossed and he couldn't help but wonder what the connection between the woman and the Hutt was. Was she the Alex he often found himself wondering about even worrying about against his will?

He approached and knelt like a proper slave still unwilling to count himself equal to anyone.
 
Chenlacca's Albino's pelt was disrbed by a gale oc air brought on by yet another ship landing on the planet's surface, packed to the roof with more materials. He walked over toward Hion the Herglic, Darth Veles and the metal thing. He letout a series of Shyriiwook grunts, and a roar, translating to: 'what in the name of The Dark Lord is that... Thing?!'

He let out a subtle growl in question, then let out another roar. He huffed, and Chenlacca carried a slab of stone to a pile of more ruined slabs, and threw it on, a huge plume of dust and debris billowed up to the skies of Coruscant. He let out a satisfied grunt.

“The Goddess has a use for the Dark Lord -- has blessed him with the gift of sight akin to our most powerful Chosen,” Isolda would state in turn.

“He is a fragment of Her plan, an important one none the less. One that shall lead to us finding our homeworld again. A place for all Vahla to glorify Her name.”

“Ashani… it is a world that has recently submitted itself into the Dark Lord.” Isolda would state with a silver tongue. “Led by an Emperor.” she’d state. “We have determined to let the local populace rule unhindered with little interruption from the One Sith Forces, however, seeking their aid for the production of ships and designs would be beneficial towards us.

Word has it that their ships are some of the fastests in the Galaxy… a notable blessing from the Goddess that the world has submitted itself to Her plan.”

“Tell me… what visions do you see in you mind to draw you to Ashani? Let me interpret the word of the Goddess for you,” as a Chosen of Vahl, this was her duty, to interpret the many visions and dreams of her people, leading them along the path determined by Vahl.

Off in the distance, she could feel the stirring of her apprentice’s aura. She basked in his progress, feeling and seeing the Force churn throughout his large form. Soon, he was genuflecting before her and the Sword. Pleasure at his success and ambition would roll out from her as her hand would rise to gently caress the corrupted olive crown of his head, inky tipped fingers dancing over the thick head tresses as she said, “Rise, Darth Odium. The Goddess pleasures at your return.”

That he had arrived here at the temple of Vahl would prove to be pivotal for Isolda’s plan. Using their combined energies, along with the lessons Odium found at using the power of the dead, they were to infuse the very mountain before them with the Power of the Darkside. The goal? To turn it into a new nexus of the Dark Side of the Force -- that every brick, stone, watcher, and the very mountain itself would be used as a funneling system to draw and empower every One Sith and Vahla as they trained and meditated.
 
I passed by more groups, others working away without such complaint, but there was only one group that interested me. Stories had reach my ears of [member="Darth Isolda"], Darth Shara and their companions. Those who spoke for the Dark Lord, whose power had seen too many Jedi to count fall to their cause. It was something I couldn't deny enjoying, nothing pleased me more than to snuff out a candlelight and show it the power of the shadows.

I was unsure how to proceed now, as I stood several feet from them. I was nervous now, and I didn't try to hide it either. The more real my reactions, the better shot I had at getting in through the front door. My hands itched for a blade, for something to defend myself with should this turn sour, suddenly I found myself questioning the intelligence of this task. I licked my lips and drew in a deep breath to steady my nerves and waited to be spoken to, rather than to speak first.

The touch of another person was still an alien thing to the Mute creature know as Odium. His black eyes did not look up at the Women until he was given leave to rise. He did not respond with words but simply gave those assembled a brief glance before removing the large black crystal that contained several hundred living souls that appeared as swirling cloud of violet in the crystal's heart. Odium had brought it to aid in the focusing of the power of the Dark Lord and the assembled lords as they carried out the plot to create the focus for the Goddess.

He stood still as his necklace continued to turn cold and tingle against his skin as it rested beneath his armor. He held the large crystal in both hands directly in front of him and awaited orders.
 
Chenlacca let out a startled grunt, strolling across the bulding site, his yellow optics giving a flash, now and again. As he reached his speeder, his boredom was... Clear. He clambered onto the speeder, and shot off down into the Coruscant Underworld.
 
[SIZE=9pt]“I do not quite know myself. The vision isn’t clear, it’s an older man…who means to end me it would seem.” She said with a rumble. Her gaze shifted from [member="Darth Odium"] to [member="Darth Isolda"] for a brief moment. She felt a tingling sensation against her skin that irked her, a presence that made her uncomfortable to say the least. It only occurred when Odium had arrived. She disregarded the feeling and continued addressing Isolda. “I don’t know if it’s truly where I was meant to go, as I saw Byss in the vision as well.” [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]She paused for a moment and turned back towards the work being conducted at the Temple. “I believe whatever it might be, it’s something that is worth looking into. He could be one of the Jedi responsible for the death of my family.” [/SIZE]


[SIZE=9pt]She nodded softly at the mention of the sight of the Chosen of Vahl. "If that is what the Goddess believes the Dark Lord should be blessed with, I won't question it." [/SIZE]
