THE CIS LOVES GLITTER!

The Eternal Queen
The 'invites' had gone out. They were all called. And they would show, if they wanted a say in these matters. This was important.

Feena waited in the Council chambers, legs crossed, head resting on her palm. She had been waiting here since well before she was scheduled to, but that would hardly be a surprise. The Archon was, if anything, punctual. She didn't believe in being late to anything. Especially not this.

But she so hate waiting.

Daxton arrived moments later, the Sith had headed to the room as soon as he received the summons. Not that he feared his fellow Templar, rather she sparked his curiosity. One would never be bored with one of her gatherings.

With a sweep of his rich purple cloak, the emerald clad warrior wearing reflective armor have a respectful bow as befitting her station. "I heed your summons, my lady. How might I be of service?"

I had been given an invite to the Council room on a premise that I did not know. So I prepared for the worse. Grabbing my saber that had be fashioned from the bones of my fathers lightsaber, I attached it to my belt with a click as my white armor was already on. I left the helmet on the bed stand along with my GH-44 pistol. My other two sabers were on the small of my back. Flashbacks of using them against many Sith and Jedi alike, I picked up my sword, Despair, and put it on my back with the grip above my left shoulder. As a fighter I was ambidextrous letting me fight with my left or my right hand in unison or alone.

I donned my black sleeveless cloak with the hood down, letting my long white hair flow behind me as much as the ripple effect of the cloak. Walking to the room I could see that @[member="Daxton Bane"] had just entered to meet with @[member="Feena Mason"]. The relative of Zaiden my friend. Nodding to the Zabrak in his iconic Emerald armor as he finished his sentence. "As well as I Lady Archon." adding in my intro to Daxton's. As much as I hated the Sith for what he had done in the past, I respected him as a fighter and a duelist. He had proved that he was one way back when we were both still apprentices fighting a Sith Lord.
 
"You summoned me, Archon?"

His smooth voice carried itself in the direction of the seated woman of the newly minted Arbiter of the Templars, thanks to revealing his true self to the Grand Marshall. The green and black military robes he wore clearly displayed the insignia of the Confederacy. His shin-high leather boots echoed off the marble floor as he walked with his arms at his sides. His perfectly styled hair and face belied a dark truth about him, one that was only hinted at by the curved lightsaber hilt on his waist. Mr. Radimus would smile, and talk to anyone, but there was always a reason for these things. His very job within the Order was to be a voice, and a damn good one for the Confederacy when a politician with other skills was needed.

Who else would be better for the job than a man who had died twice and somehow come back? He was as slippery as they came, and anything he said would be exactly what one wanted to hear...unless of course he was going to strike. Lee's fangs were not out today though, and he simply came and stood among the others, not another word leaving his mouth. Every effort was being held on keep the black hole that he was in the Force as minimized as possible, the art of the small a tricky thing to perform.

It had been months since he'd uttered a syllable to another soul. The silence filled Helios with a deep reverence. He'd come to respect that he didn't need to explain anything, or dissuade anyone. Nothing has had to hinge on his word, and for that simplicity, the Eldorai found himself to be undeniably thankful.

His solitary traveling has left him with the accompaniment of his own thoughts, which have never ceased to continue turning about in his mind since he was a child, first gripping a rusty blade to kill a so called "bad guy," when in fact that bad guy was a Jedi.

Even at such a young age, darkness had always been a part of him. Innocence lost, or perhaps never attained. Helios would always live in darkness. He believes it to be of his nature. Apos' blanket shall be shadows, and his bed a never-ending night.

To an extent the loneliness in combination with the fear of insanity drove him to reveal himself to civilization once more. Helios took a deep breath of consideration before he flashed his golden eyes across a message on his Holopad from Feena Mason. He appreciated the silent message, it was a change of pace from listening to the drunkard's conversations at Cantinas and the rumors of loud, pompous women within the same vicinity to gather news. He sought to join the Confederacy's ranks. He'd be loyal of course, but as a figure he'd of course seek something greater and on a wider scale. War, perhaps? Helios himself didn't quite know what motivates him to think of what he does, or to act certain ways at certain times. In any case however, he always seeks to leave an impression...to say that he was once here, though there are those whom his touch shall affect for generations to come.

Thinking to the upcoming event, he'd noticed that he'd failed to meet Feena prior to this day, or anyone for that matter. By simple deduction he figured this would be more of a meeting for introductions than anything else. There were times in his past where he would ignore such an event, no matter how small it's significance. But these days he moved about his business a lot more competently then he had in the past and from time to time has even had conversations with Jedi. "Oh, Helios..." The Sith humorously thought to himself. His Masters of old must be turning over in their tombs as they watched over him. Helios gave his past life little thought, however. He'd made the decision to leave the Sith Order, though much couldn't be done to change his own logic and code, which both still heavily revolved around their teachings. Those traits in combination with a mind much less bloodthirsty than his former comrades, formed an individual whom had no problem even fighting alongside a Jedi Grandmaster, save he didn't say anything to the Sith. Helios's chest quickly rose and fell, followed by a sound similar to a chuckle before he lifted himself from his small bed.

His room was dimly lit, just how he liked it. His damaged eyes took much longer than others to adjust to bright light, which is why he's masked such dark markings around his eyes to help mitigate it when out of his quarters. A lone sconce, seemingly glued to the wall, was to Helios' backside. The shadow it cast past the Sith Lord almost prompted Helios to talk to it, but he'd left such madness behind with the Sith Order. Helios stood from his bed, pursing his gear to his body as he checked the time on his holopad. Punctuality was usually a virtue with Helios, but he's been more than distracted lately with...other demanding tasks. His garments, which consisted of a black tunic, boots, pants, wrist-braces, and gloves found themselves to their rightful places as he swooped his lightsaber-staff from a nearby hook next to his bed and placed it on another small, similar hook on his belt.

Back straight, posture perfect, he walked out of his room, the breeze of the hallway slightly blowing his long white-blonde hair momentarily before allowing it to rest once more upon his shoulders. He turned left, raising his right hand to move a stray hair from his forehead. If he were alone, he'd playfully blow air from his mouth upwards to move it but he actually felt it ridiculously unnecessary to do so in public. Approaching the elevator that would take him up to the meeting quarters, he bowed his head slowly at the patrons that exited in a manner that disallowed them to see his eyes and afterwards stepped in. He happened to be the only occupant, a thought which earned a sigh of satisfaction. Stepping out he made his way across the establishment and rounded the open door to Feena's meeting. The power contained within almost earned an eye-widening response from Helios. There was a powerful aura of Neutrality emanating from Darren while something much more different and contained masked Lee. A Darker presence of the Force came from Daxton and the Archon herself seemed a lot more positive of the two, even without hearing her speak first. He felt at place, in a room full of masters yet for lack of words, he simply bowed to the four of them and resided to a spot in the open floor opposite of where the four had already gathered.
 
Kalia admittedly was very excited to see her friend Fenna again. It had been far too long since she had last seen her and there was much to catch up on. Unfortunately now was not the time for that. This was a business meeting not one in which they could gossip about this or that. She was sure though that there would be time for that later.

By the time Kalia entered the council chambers she found others had already arrived. It didn't surprise her, she remembered Feena to be one whom demanded punctuality. She had wanted to come earlier in hopes of being the first one there but things had come up. Luckily she wasn't last. That was the one thing that counted.

The Eternal Queen
"I heed your summons, my lady. How might I be of service?"
"As well as I Lady Archon."
"You summoned me, Archon?"

The Archon didn't answer any of this. Not now. She smiled at each Master as they arrived, motioned for them to be seated, and folded her hands in her lap. She would not start. Not until more had arrived.
 

Suhr

Guest
Suhr had heard that the being that she had slowly come to accept as her master had been summoned to the Council Chambers, and thus had instantly began to make her way up to them. She had never been near the council before and knew that she wouldn't be welcome at such a lofty meeting of educated minds, but she felt compelled to attempt to eves drop, or at least see if she could barter her way into the meeting if she was caught. After all, @[member="Josiah Denko"] was a master. Her Master. Surely his position had to count for something in terms of her own. That must be how these things work... She thought to herself. Either way, it wouldn't help her argument if she was caught on her way up to the chambers... Getting caught when she was there, however... Well. That might just be a different story. So she kept to the shadows, and only advanced when she was sure the way was clear...
 

Dharma Vessia

Lords of the Fringe
Another meeting, another former affair for Templars, it was one that Dharma desired to be busy with her many little projects. They were a lot more fun than a meeting. So she silently entered the chamber with her doll walking next to her. In the land of normal, it was a crazy twisted doll that was floating near the ground. However, Dharma’s land of fun and happiness it was a walking and talking doll. It was talking to her even when Dharma sat her butt in a chair.
 
The Eternal Queen
Feena waited a while more. Not long, but a little bit. Those that would come, were here already. So she stood up once everyone had taken seats.

"You have all been invited here today for several very important matters. First and foremost is the review. It is important to secure quality of the Templars by frequently reviewing our leaders."
She smiled and held up a hand.
"No. Not a review of you. Not any of you. This is a review for me. As Archon, it is important that I am preforming up to your standards. If I am not, I must be made aware of it and listen to suggestion about how I may work better for the rest of you."

She cleared her throat, feeling just the tiniest bit awkward about putting herself on the spot like this.

"If you have something you wish to say, comments, criticism, suggestions, you may speak freely."

At the Archons request I took a seat. With all of these Master in the room, The force was very powerful and clearly present. If I were to go back in time to my young self as a child and say that one day you would help start a faction and take part in the Master's council. I would have never believed myself. It seems as though I have come a very long way from the apprentice first searching for his mother. I only smiled as the woman Archon wanted a review on herself. Nodding my head I went ahead and spoke first.

"I say that you a doing a good job. Each day you take the task that is given to you head on without complaint or murmuring. I see, However, that it has taken a toll on you and I believe that everyone needs a break once a while. I would just say to take one and come back refreshed."
@[member="Feena Mason"]
 
Just after the words had escaped from Darren Shaw's mouth, the latest entrance into the meeting made his appearance. The young Master, known as Josiah Denko, confidently strode across the Chambers and came to a halt in their midst. A respectful bow was rendered to the Archon, coupled with nods of acknowledgement to his peers. "Forgive me Archon Mason," he began, standing straight once again, "I was attending to matters of dire importance. I hope you can excuse my tardiness." These matters, if one knew him well enough, revolved around the relocation of the light of his life: his daughter Zephirine. to the Roon Sanctum. Things had gone smoothly enough, but they were indeed time consuming. Once he had finished making his apologies, he seated himself at one of the high-backed seats and weighed in.

"As far as an evaluation goes, you have been doing an exceptional job as Archon. You have led admirably and you have placed your life on the line in order to liberate others from the jaws of Death. My only concern is that you may overwork yourself, Archon. So long as you are getting adequate rest, my concerns are laid to rest."

@[member="Feena Mason"], @[member="Daxton Bane"], @[member="Dharma Vessia"], @[member="Ember Rekali"], @[member="Darren Shaw"], @[member="Lee Radimus"], @[member="Helios Meldonus Kingpriest"], @[member="Kalia Walsh"], @[member="Suhr"].
 
Anyone who knew Daxton's and Josiah's past would be surprised to see the Sith nodding in agreement to his former foe. "My esteemed associate speaks the truth. You overexert yourself. Delegate to some of your subordinates, I know from personal experience they are more than qualified. We rely on your council and wisdom in these troubling times, we cannot afford it if you get sidelined because you worked yourself to the bone."

Gruff, brutal and honest, Daxton's opinion was what they have come to expect from the Sith since he joined the Order.

She was close enough to see the doorway now. The council chamber was surprisingly lightly guarded, but that made sense considering the combined skill of the occupants at the current time. That made Suhr's self appointed mission a little easier. With nothng other than some closed citcuit holocams pointed along the corridor the young Twi'lek was free to approach... And approach she did, albeit with a cautious way of moving. While nobody was likely to stop her at this point, she wasn't willing to take any chances.

Practically running the last meter or so, Suhr managed to position herself under the security camera that was recording the doorway. A wire protruded from the back of it, and with a subtle pulling from her hand, the force reached out and disabled the camera's ability to record, thus leaving Suhr the perfect opportunity to creep into the doorway and try to listen in...
 
Elegant and depraved.
So this wasn't an introductory meeting. The Sith didn't find much grief in the turn of events however, he'd meet who was necessary on his missions. Feena stated that she wished to be evaluated, a request that the present masters quickly obliged to. Should someone of high position from his previous organization ask that question it would be met with ridicule, yet here, in a room with much more balanced and logically sound individuals the criticism was positive and mainly revolved around the fact that Feena worked too hard and too often. The Sith found himself incapable of weighing anything on the conversation that held the familiarity that the other Masters shared, however. Thus from his seat, Helios' golden eyes simply looked to each master as they spoke, soaking in the interaction as it progressed.

Feenas silver eyes studied each Master as they spoke. All of them saying the same. It was another reason why they were here. They spoke the truth. She could not keep going as she was. She would literally work herself to death at this rate. And little Celeste, the tiny daughter growing in her belly... She deserved better than this.

"If there is no further comment, I shall take the suggestions given and review them. Perhaps my health is indeed something to consider now and again. Perhaps, as you said, I should rely on my subordinates more than I have been.
This leads me to another part of this meeting.
Elections.
If I am going to take your suggestions seriously, I am going to need a second in command."


@Lee Radimus @Kalia Walsh @Josiah Denko @Dharma Vessia @Darren Shaw @Helios Meldonus Kingpriest @Ember Rekali @[member="Helios Meldonus Kingpriest"]
 
Before anyone else could speak Daxton said, "If a second in command is what you need then I nominate Darren. He is capable, experienced and works well with others, assets which would be useful in a subordinate." Only the Sith Lord could make that commendation sound like a criticism, one could almost imagine him sneering as he said it although his face remained rather neutral as he said it.

There were several reasons why he wanted Darren for the job, he was certain none were obvious to those around him. From the surface it would appear that he was saying exactly what he said. The truth was Daxton preferred to keep Shaw where he could be watched. If that meant elevating him to a position of responsibility then so be it.

@Lee Radimus @Kalia Walsh @Josiah Denko @Feena Mason @Dharma Vessia @Darren Shaw @Helios Meldonus Kingpriest @Ember Rekali
 
As Feena spoke about agreeing with the three master that had spoke, Daxton, Joshiah, and myself, She mentioned that she needed a second in command. someone that she could rely on with her upcoming troubles. I had thought as she spoke, If someone was appointed like Josiah or Daxton, I would be content with that. I had worked with both of the men in the past, and knew how they worked. - Well maybe except for Daxton, he seemed to bring something new to the table every time I saw him.

But almost the instant that the Lady Archon ended her words Daxton spoke up to nominate me. With a confused look aimed towards him, I could only watch as he wanted me to be second? I would have thought that he wanted it for himself. Isn't that how sith were? Always wanting power and have almost no one to stop them? Ether way I was surprised really. Yet I had a feeling there was something else behind this. Standing, I went ahead and spoke. "I accept the nomination." Still wondering on what was happening in the former Sith's mind.

She had heard the nomination. A second in command? That would put master Shaw above Josiah... Maybe if her timing was right... No. Could she? She didn't know, but she certainly understood that she had to try. And if I succeed? What then? Suhr sighed to herself. Perhaps this wasn't her best or indeed her brightest idea, but she was damned if she wasn't going to step up to the level she had set herself. Besides, she thought. They're hardly as intimidating as the Jedi Council... The thought alone calmed her. Her back straightened up. The Twi'lek stood tall, proud, and a look of sheer determination etched itself into her face. This is it then...

Suhr strode forwards and extended her right hand towards the imposing doors of the Council's chamber. The Force emanated from her palm, and like an extension of her body it pushed the door open for her to continue her stride through. Yet she had overdone it, and the door had slammed against the wall when it was fully opened. The sound echoed through the chambers, ensuring that her presence among the Masters would be more than just noted... Still, this was not enough to distract the Twi'lek from her new mission, and with a bold voice she spoke out into the council chamber...
"I nominate Master Josiah Denko."

The sound of the door hitting the wall did not startle her half as much as the energy she sensed from the blast. She jumped to her feet at once, protective had over her little baby bump as if she expected an attack. She was actually stunned to see that the meeting had been interrupted by one so young. Hardly the assassin she had expected.

"I nominate Master Josiah Denko."

Feena raised an eyebrow and winced slightly as the baby kicked her. Punishment for standing up so quickly, no doubt. Celeste could be quite unforgiving.

"Indeed?"
Feena had a quick, hot flash of annoyance, but it quickly sizzled out as amusement took it's place. The girl was making a mockery of her authority by barging in here, but it was Feenas fault for not noticing her. She should be more aware. Hard with a baby kicking at you from the inside, but still... No excuses for weakness.
Besides, she admired spirit.

"And? Does Josiah Denko accept this... nomination?"

She smiled weakly and sat back down, hand gently rubbing the little foot or elbow pressing against her ribs.
