Monster Hunting

It didn't take long for the pair to seem to make a bloody stinking mess of the creature who even in the faint darkness of the cavern. Flayed and put up quite a fight that he couldn't help imagine what a scene it would be. Just as the creature eye pop and came roll down across the floor mere feet from him.

To which with the seeming unexpected reaction that he faintly smiled. As deep within something seem been triggered. A memory or some all but forgotten emotion he dares not could say or tell. That he could no less shudder as the realization hit him. That for whatever reason part him seem to revel at the creatures death. As to why or how sent a faint shiver down his spine. As he began to feel loss and confused while the thought swirled in his mind....was it good or bad to wish the creature dead? And how so had the act of killing it sent such a response from him. As if wake from a dream he couldn't help feel conflicted.....as the thrill of the hunt and kill seem egg him on to continue. Although a faint voice in his head said not to.......At that time with blood stain his shirt and caked over the blade in hand. He then slowly stood his ground ready for the next onslaught.....as the temptation and pull from the dark as well the light seem to teether. Tugging at his very consciousness ever so faintly in the back his mind.

He could feel his padawan while rising up to stand there with a look on his face. Wiping his hands off with the blood and slime there from it before moving to see his padawan. Something seemed to have changed with the boy which could only mean one or two things.... of which he was uncertain but might as well. "Are you alright?" he said it while looking over at the creature and thankful he was blind. He wasn't certain if there was light in the cavern they were in or if it was pitch blackness but he was moving for a moment. Wiping a little on his hands with a small smirk. "Well need to be careful, you showed more skill then i was expecting which is a good thing padawan."

It was then with all the thought swirled in his mind at that time that from the sideline Master Syn words came.

"Are you alright?"

To which feeling unsure as seen the dark cloud that hung over him during the midst of the battle seem all but forgotten like most. At which time he then having wiped off much of the gunk as he could off him replied.

"Yeah guess I am.....just surprised I guess. How those things could be so fast despite being as big they are...Master Syn."

He then wiped the blade of the dagger in hand onto the side. Before edging over towards Master Syn. Feeling bit worst for wear given the fact he' d been somewhat bruised all over from the attack. And only somewhat seem to escape further injuries along with the possibility of death by the creature by hairs length.

He was looking at him and walked with a small look on his face before he was walking to motion for the padawan. "Larger creatures face the same danger's when you make them bleed and the more they bleed the more they struggle and harm themselves." He said it with a small look going towards the scale he had torn off with chunks of flesh and artery where it had torn letting the blood flow freely and he was walking while checking some fo the other parts. "The torn arteries of a beast bleed just as profusely as the ones of a human. More so even given how much they might get angry and move around having their blood pumping."

It was then as he slowly drove back past into the comfort of the mist veil that thus far. Served him well thru many session he'd had thus far with Master Coci and healers. When fear grip him as stared into the abyss that divided his reality now to that of past yet unknown. As what little progress he seems gain seem so insignificant when it came to it that made it so hard process. That he had as words play in his head....had to take it one step at a time.

At which time once he'd clear his thought of it that Master Syn words seem to caught his attention. About from what he could fathom was in regards to the lesson about strategy....how size seems not be a factor as much what damage once could inflict to an enemy.... how a precise move could one work to their advantage. As was exemplified by what he could seem note was how Master Syn attack differs from his.

At any rate grateful for lesson learn or imparted by him he could only nod and replied.

"I guess so indeed Master Syn thought I hope my action had been....well decent enough as most the action I've to know or done in the past wasn't. Well .... more of getting away rather than standing up to anything."

He could feel it and see it in the force but the basic idea of reading how someone felt was lost on him while he was moving around. Ensuring they had everything they needed here with the creature. The plating that had been on it could be recovered for some other purpose eventually possibly. He was looking at all of it so that they could go. "It is alright, whatever your thoughts. Be careful wit them. Memories can be tricky and the past cannot be changed only influence what you could become." he continued to move and sent the signal they had handled it but didn't stop. moving as the scents in the air shifted. "There is other things down here, bodies of..." he trailed off scenting it more as his mind was working. To discern the differentces between them and adding to it. "Old things, old sith. Likely came here with the empire."

"It is alright, whatever your thoughts. Be careful wit them. Memories can be tricky and the past cannot be changed only influence what you could become."

Just then Master Syn words came and all but made him somewhat worried as if anything else. He couldn't help wonder if indeed he was right in saying so. For in such unexpected dire situation it been something of that he couldn't help but slip. Letting his emotion get the best of him as such bit or pieces of what he figured been old memory or traumatic false memory come into play. As such that it drove him a bit to act in haste as such came the fear or dread pull to the darkside. Which been something he'd been silently trying deal with since his return. And as of late had but told or partially mention of it only to select few of which had been Master Coci and Freyia. And so in turn just nod speaking little of this for now.

At which case the noting Master Syn move ahead after signaling to the other Ronin followed. But then the deeper they went it seem that he could help feel cold as faint unnerving musky scent filled the air. That he couldn't help but silently shudder briefly which seem had not been lost on Master Syn as he spoke.


"There is other things down here, bodies of..."

And as his words slightly trailed off that he adds a quizzical look on his face.

" Of what Master Syn?"

He then continued to reply back to him.

"Old things, old sith. Likely came here with the empire."

To which he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous as well caution a bit.

"Old Sith? Empire?"

"Yes." he said it while going and crouched down low to the ground while reaching out with his force sight. He could feel and see across the world itself. He could smell things across the world and there were many others but also a danger. Something out there when he was moving around towards the darker parts of the cave. THe body was here but deeper into it if they were going to search would lead to who knew where. The jedi master reached into his belt getting a glow rod for his padawan while activating it. A small look of interest on his face motioning for them to be able to head into the caves deeper following the scent of the bodies and old death.

"Yes"

He hears Master Syn say as he then observes him slowly crouching low to the ground as he assumed how. Perhaps the more experienced Master was in a way scouting dead ahead for danger so following his lead. Ronin then began to kneel down behind him as the unnerving uneasiness crept in and apparently couldn't be shaken off. Which on some levels didn't help dampen the unnatural cold he felt creeping into his very bones. One which on some level felt fairly familiar as it was foreign to him being that for best he fathomed. He had not come nor recall having been here before in the past in his memory or what little he had of it. But then having been somewhat unnerved by the eerie silence and faint notion in his mind of something moving a foot ahead.

Made him slightly reach over and let his left hand hover then clasp the dagger tight. As the anticipation heighten only be broken by the brief spark of light from a glow stick which Master Syn hands him so. And he then takes in hand as he follows close behind him. As the pair went deeper into the cavern and to whatever lay ahead....within the dark damp darkness that faintly held stench of death or decay.

He was looking at him when they moved in deeper. Allowing the force energies to go outwards so that they would be able to search down here in the darkness when the scent became stronger. The remains of a small encampment in the rocks. Not a base but a place where they would be able to set up and defend as an outpost. The rocks that had fallen down to bury and pin some of them. The blood stained rocks where they had been maimed and torn apart with more going in when he walked past it all. He couldn't see them even with the force but he could smell it and the shadows were thick with the scent of stall everything that clung to it.

​

It was then under the faint light of the glow stick at hand Ronin following alongside by Master Syn slowly came upon. What appeared been quite a horrific sight the deeper they went into the darken cave wherein all around. What appeared and he'd thought been some odd formation of stone were in fact remains. Or what one could barely classify as one strew about like mangled ragdolls. Encompassing what appeared to be some sort of base camp or outpost of such. That jotting out or beneath the rock that somehow appeared had fallen from above and pinned them. Body or remains lay where they fell filling the air as the got closer with the vile smell of death or decay.

That for a moment he couldn't help but somewhat feel that for once Master Syn was fortunate to be blind and not be able to see. That which was the horrific carnage before them of which only made him slight shudder with a feeling of a uneasyness walk about thru the scene...

"Well i guess hate say that seem things didn't go so well with these guys ....."

ticking with his padawan as they were continuing into the cave, deeper and deeper. He was catching the scent of old death but there was also more. That familiar feeling you got with something you hadn't seen for a long time. It was warm and cold, familiar and foreign until he came through it all. The sound of wind down int he caves moving with the scents of older things. Older then he was thinking before stopping with the force moving his body. He dodged to the side pressing against the cave wall and motioning for his padawan as the pale figure moved. Red eyes and black hair. Her scent was more familiar as he realized it and dodged again grabbing a hand before a hiss came and then she was moving back into the shadows and he could feel the force receding with the darkside for a moment. "Yaseria."

It was then as the pair slowly began to go deeper and deeper into the cavern that he couldn't help feel the uneasiness grow. At which case sort at first wanted to believe and brush it off as just him being spooked by sight of the dead. And yet in the long run as a shift in the air brought a strange yet dark stench their way. Cause him to pause seem just in time as he noted Master Syn duck into the cover of darkening walls for a bit. Which caught him by surprise that without thinking he followed suit figuring although he didn't see anything at first. He none the less figured to follow Master Syn lead seems just in time.

As before he knew it figures soon darted before them.....pale figure with menacing red eyes and dark hair which for a moment gave him pause. As distant memory flashed in his mind to fill him with such dread that he could help feel frozen where he stood and turn look away.As fear grip his heart as did a dead tone voice came to memory......distant yet incoherent.

He was feeling it, scenting it and the familiar sensation was there before the figure was darting back there into the dark. Slashing at the wall itself as the talon like fingers left a nasty mark few could see but he could see it and smell the toxin from the fingers. Letting the force guide him as they stuck around here hanging back just enough to see him padawan. "Be careful, if this is who it seems, if this is what it seems then things are very very bad down here." He was maintaining the force neergies for a moment while preparing and wanting to see what they could do before preparing to follow stopping at the wall as he held a finger to the scrap and scented the poison spitting at the ground.

At which time with his mind lost in darken haze of incoherent images and thought drowning out the present. His heart all but beating harder upon his chest the closer the darken figure came at which time the fear grip his heart so that. He felt frozen where he stood as his whole being felt overwhelmed by what he dare not could say so. That soon enough the closer it came all but a hair breath from him and the grinding sound of sharpen claws dug deep into the harden stone walls of the cave. That it took seem all his will power not to flee nor move nor react to fight. As the overwhelming darkness that eminated from the being filled the air as did the musty stench of death that linger ever so heavy round it.That if it were not for Master Syn word he could only imagine how he could or would reacted.

"Be careful, if this is who it seems, if this is what it seems then things are very very bad down here."

His words came as if in time....enough it seem to somehow help snap him back to reality. That he could slowly seem been able to wrestle out of the dark abyss hold on him. If but for a moment that as he turn his gaze at him and nod Ronin could all but somehow feel fortunate that he had been blind. Opting not to utter a word till the being had been able pass that he slowly crept his way towards him but not before the being turn. Let out a foul cry as it then rush of to a side passage as from the distant a slight crackle sound distracted it so. That only then that Ronin in faint whisper after collecting his thoughts spoke to Master Syn.

"What was that ..... thing was Master Syn.....?"

 

[Syn]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

Looking at him while he moved for now, giving it a moment and some time so that they would get to go off into the bigger areas and avoid the creature. The jedi master had most of his attention there in the small details that can be used. He was allowing the forc to lead through the caves. "Given how she was and felt.... that smell is familiar as well. I am going to guess that it is my sister." There were several of them, several who came around and had run to attack the jedi once before under the sith... the far more powerful sith lords from the past. The jedi master was allowing the force to guide him but also his padawan as he knew a number of them had disappeared or been killed.

It was then seen as the stranger slowly move away from them as did they slowly but surely. Being mindful as well careful be discreet as Ronin following Master Syn lead was able to make it back out. Towards the larger caverns opposite where they had encountered the creature that with bit sigh once he assumes the coast was clear as Master Syn replied.

"Given how she was and felt.... that smell is familiar as well. I am going to guess that it is my sister."

To which once hear this seem to take a back slightly he'd replied.

"Say umm.....sister?"

He paused and said before cut himself off before his mouth got the better of him.

"....anyway umm so what now Master Syn?"

 

[Syn]

[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

He was looking at his padawana nd what were they going to do? Better what should they do... if she was down here attacking things and for the most part out fo the way of problems then he really had no qualms about leaving her alive but she could be dangerous and she was just like he was. Old, trained to kill and now in seriou need of a mental appraisement so that they might be abel to tell it the other jedi. "We'll continue forward, check out and make sure she isn't dangerous to others. Killing things here int he tunnels might hve driven her mad but she was craft and dangerous one when we were growing up so be careful and watch your back."

[member="Syn"]

It then seemed after all was said and done the combination of the sights, sounds, smell and somewhat odd dark ripple in the force. That he for one experience thus far had done well to unnerve him somewhat. As deep inside something about being down here triggered some unforeseen aftereffects in him. Something that sent chills down his spine thought the reasoning behind it was at best elusive. He could no less not help fear it but then again may it been out of pride or fear. He couldn't help feel uneasy coming forward with it to Master Syn. Well not yet...till maybe later he came to decide. As for what its worth now was not the time as he then turns his attention back to Master Syn. No sooner had he spoken and focused his attention on the task at hand.

"We'll continue forward, check out and make sure she isn't dangerous to others. Killing things here in the tunnels might have driven her mad. But she was craft and dangerous one when we were growing up so be careful and watch your back."

To which with a nod he tried to shake the hazy darkness that had pass while in her presence to replied back.

"I see well then guess.....we push onward then Master Syn?"

Pushing forward with a small look as they would be able to keep on going. This brought interest and intrigue around as the jedi master himself was curious about what they might discover the deeper they went down to try and find her. He could hear and feel the force energies themselves as they were giving way to the more collected and more intriguing moments, sensing that darkside presence in the force and then catching the scent as they were following but also being lured into whatever web she was trying to create. It let the jeid master himself as he was coing through the cave entrance into a lower chamber and stopping to look down at the ground where dried and aged blood had bee spread all around. Marking the borders with a small look on his face motioning towards the rim of the chamber where they would be able to ove around.
