Only the Beginning (COTBR; PM invite)

[Zion Mirtis]

Darth Raven was dead. Slain in a final confrontation against her former master and Sith-turned Jedi Taeli Raaf the woman formally known as Sophie Gustav was finally one with the force. Even in death, however, her actions had proven to echo throughout the galaxy. Her fight had caused the broken will of Taeli's niece, Morgana Forceborn, and even destoryed her lightsaber. And in her dying breath she had seen her work accomplished as Morgana had taken a dark step towards the path not of the Jedi. Even in death Raven could still have a laugh. But now it was time for her final will to be done. ​

​

Upon her death a message had been sent out by a servant of the Sith sisterhood, the Covenant of the Black Rose. She was an apparent secret servant for Raven personally, and the news of her death had set her into motion for instructions given directly to her. The first was to find where Raven's body was, still lying in the dirt and dead remains of a village on the planet Altier. After that a wide-spread message had been sent out to members of the Covenant, and some of the One Sith as well. The message was clear that these people were chosen to come for a reason, and that they would be allowed to bring anyone with them if they chose. But they would be bound to secrecy if they did accept her message. ​

​

And from there the slave, a Sith purblood known as Kanariri, waited for them to arrive. During that time she'd prepared Raven's body. A small alter with her body lain atop it. Ruins and old sith markings carved into it before being painted around on the floor. A small clear admits all the dead villagers. And finally a small black candle lit at the base of the alter. ​

Solan sat silently off to the side, having no experience that would aid with this process but being there to observe and study it none the less. The process of the restoration of a body was an interesting thing to him. Especially considering whom this woman was that it appeared to be. If he remembered right from the information given to him courtesy of his former employer, this woman had a connection to his business partner. Granted he had no plans to tell Taeli about what was happening here today, no. If not for the reason as it would be espionage if he did and could get his people hurt, then for the fact that he was curious in how she would react to facing this woman in person.

It would be such a situation he would need to look forward to seeing and as his hand came to rest on his hand he nodded with his head for his assistant to come forward. Eve, his personal AI, was in the Echani body that had been grown for her by her previous employer. It was a marvel in its own right but he was more curious on if she had the blueprints he wanted to work on while he waited for the others began. It would be profound to see this today.

 

[Rapax]

Rapax arrived after he received the message ..knowing what it entailed he brought what he needed for this ritual, He had done necromancy once before however this was no doubt a different process. Yet he was here to better hone that power so that he can better use it in the long run, He looked at the altar that was covered in sith markings...very ritualistic ... it was amusing for a moment but he knew others would come at least. He looked over and saw [member="Solan Charr"] observing on the side....another participant?. He knew this ritual would require a few more participants for completion so he simply sat down and meditated...waiting for the others to come.

This was a strange thing and she was arriving, attention on the woman more though as the massive zeltron stood with her hands extended and her pets coming with her. The two leviathans she had from the breeding pits not fully grown but she could have them as pets for attack while she moved along to meet and see what would become of Darth Raven one of the few she actually could say she enjoyed. It wasn't much, it wasn't even her choice but she was willing to give it all a look over while standing there.

 

[Via Dolorosa]

The Dagobah Sith sat in her chair twirling a boned finger in the palm of her hand, as her two monsters Andarta and Agrona, her sithspawn, flanked the necromancer and alchemist on either side. The news of the Raven's death was a devastating loss, not because she was a powerful Sith Lord, but because she was one of her closest friends. These days, her friends were hauntingly low but she preferred it that way. She was a busy woman, never finding time for social interaction. She would have left the Dread Sisters at home, but they needed to get out and stretch their 'legs'.​

​

The moment their ship touched down, Andarta extended her right hand out waiting for her mother to take it. With a brief flash of her teeth, the woman that housed many names rose from her chair fashioned from the bones of animals, humans, humanoids, and alien species; her bare feet touching the cold floor of the ship. The sensation of cold metal send undeniable pleasures coursing through her body. Pain was never her enemy. She followed the mute, Agrona, out the chamber door and down the dimly lit corridor toward the shuttle's bay.​

​

"When we are setteled, Mother. May I eat," Agrona asked through her telepathic voice.​

​

"You may....just don't over indulge," came the reply from Darth Venefica.​

​

"And take your sister with you."​

​

Upon exiting the shuttle, she could almost hear the wailing of the dead. To her, it was like music to her ears. She wondered if the torture souls that haunted this place knew how much she loved them. The living was no longer her choice of company, but only the dead could bring a warm feeling inside her, turning her very essence into one erotic danse macabre.​
