First Reply "When 900yrs Old You Reach.."

[Karala Midwan]

Rhen Var had been the last bastion. The isolated world most frigid was where her people had selected to put her into the long slumber. The Sith as species had come to the brink of becoming exstinct, and Karala's Father took this last measure to ensure the survival of their people. When she was placed in the Pod, The New Jedi Order and The New Republic had risen, the Skywalker Family that had its dark secret of having the Patriarch who nearly wiped out the Jedi was now on the hunt for Sith. Already too many purebloods had perished in the Old Wars, and now with the might of the New Republic, Karala saw many more of her people burned.

Taken to Ice World that had little significance than a Dark Lord haunted it once, Karla was placed inside the Cyro Pod. The connected to the unlimited supply of natural coolant, she took a deep breath as her Father placed his hand on the window and said to her,
"My Dear Kara.. when you awake, may you find a better future where our people will once more thrive!"
Those words and she went to sleep.. the long sleep of centuries until on a fateful day some noisy Scavengers came to her Chamber. These men in masks and respirators were taking what gear they could find, and the signs of the cyro pod was worth the plunge down into the cave system. On the market a working pod could go for 150K in Credits. They replled down with ropes and lines to the main cave opening, where they found tech that seemed to be generators. Examining them, they marked those for exstraction as well. Following the tubes on the ground they came to the Main Chamber where the Cyro-cycle-Pod was. The glass was frosted and they were curious why anyone would set up one in a cave system. It seemed greed blinded them to the possibility that such a set up was not meant to be found.

Checking the vital read outs one of Scavangers said,
"All the bio read outs are in the green.. someone or something organic is inside. Should I pop the hood?"
Another Scav said as he wiped the ice from the glass said,
"Whatever is inside.. we need to remove it if we are going to take the pod, prepare revive protocols."
The Scavanger at the screen turned on the wake up measures, which began to thaw the ice around the pod. Two more Scavangers approached with picks and bags to help carry stuff to the surface.
"We are gonna need to use the shuttle to haul this puppy out of here."
As the glass thawed, the hinges shifted, and did not open properly, one of Scavs taking his pick hammer began to break the hinge.
"This is some pretty old tech.. is it worth it?"
The Other Scav, who was the Leader said,
"It will do. Lets get that open and get out of here.. this place gives me the creeps."
The glass windshield was pried off and as it slid, it cracked and fell to the side. Then as some moisture like a cloud of fog began to clear they saw a figure, a female with black and gilded robes, her skin ruby and her head shaven.
One of the Scavs said,
"Its a girl.. what in the Hutts is she doing here?"
One of them saw beside her was a shaft of black with matching gold runes on it, he took it up and pressing a button ignited a glowing beam for a blade.
"That is a Jedi weapon.."
Suddenly she began to stir, her eyes popping open as she lunged upward and coughed, she leaning over side of the pod as fluid poured out of her mouth.
One of the Scavs addressed her,
"Are you alright?"
Turning with her eyes the color of fire she babbled in the tongues they did not understand,
"Kam Diena Kash Zhol? Kam Kursas? (What Day? What Year?)"
She kept repeating these words which they all looked at each other in their masks like,
"We do not understand.. do you know Galatic Basic?"
Her eyes looking at the one holding her weapon made her reaching out her hand and he was raised into the air, he dropped the saber which made crackling sound as the hot blade and snow met.
Another came at her with pick hammer, she threw the guy she held with Her Power into his point, and then extending her hand bolts of blood came from her finger tips meeting the Scav that was charging from afar. She then turned and unleashed more of these gnarled red veins on the two stuck together by the pick hammer, they screamed as she drained them and drew life into her own body. Further down the cavern some of the Scavs came running, one held a Heavy Blaster and was aiming,
"Juno?! Juno! Copy?!"
Suddenly a shaft with two glowing blades spun at him and lopped his head clean off, and landed in hands of the Scav behind by a six feet. He held the head and shouted,
"Oh my God! Help me! Someone help me!"
He was then beset by her, as she lunged on all fours with the blades at his neck,
"Kam Diena Kash Zhol? Kam Kursas?!"
The Young Man said,
"I do not understand!"
She held the blade to his neck and using her Power forced him back to his feet and then turned him back towards the path to surface.
"Akcij! (Move)"

Karla keeping her invisible hand on this Scavanger came to the surface of snow white, there the wind blew loudly, and her skin felt the chill. She coughed and saw the Shuttle that had brought these unhappy souls to her. She shoved him towards the landing gear and ramp, commanding him up inside, where she with her Staff Saber took a seat in the nose or bridge.
The Scav was panting as had his hands up,
"Please.. do not kill me.."
Her eyes fixed on him,
"Kilti!"
He responded to her tongues,
"I do not understand.. please.. what do you mean?!"
She raised his saber hilt up,
"Ascend? You mean fly?"replied the Scav.
She replied,
"Xaz! (Yes)" as she nodded her head.
He pressed some keys on a console and began to search the star maps.
"Where?"
She responded,
"Korriban."
He recognized the name and said,
"Listen lady.. we do not wanna go there.. that is occupied Sith Territory!"
She replied, Xaz! Sith! Zuti! (Go)."
She squeeze her hand, which made his throat croak and feel pressure and he said,
"Alright! Alright! We will go to Korriban! Xaz! What ever in the Farrik that means! Give me a moment to get the Hyperdrive ready."
After priming the engines and setting coordinates, he took the ship up to the threshold of space and prepared to make the jump.
"Farrik.. I did not sign up for this.. we are going to our deaths."

HOME

The Scavenger ship came out of hyperspace near a planet swirling with whites, tans, and reds. Karla looking out the view screen at it felt her breath taken away, she gasped as she reaching with her hand out towards it said,
"Trovas iv Nuyak Tauta!: Home of my People"
The Scav looking at her with his visor did not understand the words, but her face conveyed to him enough that he said,
"This must be home then.. my condolences."
There small vessel drifted down towards the world, the white ship with its blue thrusters came over the great monoliths and obelisks. As the ship set down on on the dry land, Karla ran down the ramp and bent her knees on the soil, taking its dust and throwing it over her shoulder as she shouted,
"Malotre'! Malotre' Dirva!: Sacred! Sacred Ground!"
The Scav staying on the ramp.
"Well.. seeing I kept my end of the bargain. I think I ought to leave you now with.. whatever you are doing."
Turning as she pointed to the Great Pyramid in the distance, she shouted,
"Tave Ke'de iv Tave Tsis!: The Throne of the Sith!"
The Scav replied,
"Yeah.. I do not care about any of this place.. so um.. bye."
He turned and tried to close the ramp, but the joist began to make a crunching sound. He kept pushing the button,
"Come on dank farrik! Let me get off this dank place before they show up!"
The Ramp fell back down and running up it was Karla who grabbed him by the neck,
"J'us Tapti' Su Nun!: You come with me!"
He shook his nead,
"Listen! I flew you to this death trap! I do not want the encounter The Sith! They are mean as Reeks in heat and not keen on having scavs on their planet!"
She responds, "Tsis? Tsis.. Sith."
He nodded,
"Yes! Sith! Bad guys with laser swords, goth clothes and powers that make nightmares real!"
She shook her head,
"J'us Tapti' Su Nun!"
He fell in his chair as she was on top of him.
"Calm down! Just calm down! Making noise is a very bad idea here! No Tsis.. what was that word.. Xaz, yes?"
She looking at him with her fire eyes then pulled him close as she whispered into hsi ear,
"Tu Galez the Mezdi. Sis Kash Kapas: You may never leave.. this is your tomb."
The Scav shook his head,
"I do not understand the words coming out of your mouth!" (Rush Hour quote).

There was loud bang, and then the vessel shook as if the quake had come, the ship spun and inside all the consoles began to blip, and singal "Alert! Haul Integrity Compromised! Alert!"
Karla grabbing the Staff Saber darted out, The Scav falling after her down the ramp, a great trail of black smoke rising from the ship.
The Scav said,
"Oh no.. no.. no.. no! That was my one way off this rock!"

There was a sound of humming, it was growing louder, as he looking in distance saw speeders coming with those in black capes.
"Oh Skiff! Sith! Sith!"
Karla looking at him said as she pointed at herself,
"Tsis! Sith!"
He shook his fists,
"I know you are a Sith you witch! Oh god they are going to look into my mind.. twist my insides, and if I am lucky kill me before they dissect me! Oh farrik!"
She placing her hand at his head made him suddenly fall limp on the ground, she then stood as her robes blew in the wind, holding up her staff saber, she ignited the twin blades of blood, signaling her commitment to the dark side of the Force as she pointing her hand into the air, commanding bolts that cracked the air and made a loud thunderous sound. The Three Speeders hastened, undaunted by this display of power.

Nexion was scavenging the surface of Korriban alongside two troops, looking for more corpses to use for his Necromancy. As he furthered out, he noticed a ship land, not too far from his current location, so he directed his course towards the landed ship. As he got closer, Lightning blasted into the sky, making the Sith Lord all the more intrigued.

When he arrived, he saw a female Sith with a human lying at her feet. He looked at her with curiosity, lowering his mask to show off his usual smirk. As he spoke, a smug, fake respectful tone came out.

"Well, well... what a flashy display you showed off. Trying to score points with the dead? I can assure you, they aren't impressed. If you wanted to make a display of power, usually that's done when there are poeple around to witness it. Not by chance, I mean."

Karla saw the entourage approach, for a moment she had hope that her people had at last taken back their home. Instead she saw those who wore the dark cloaks, the overlords that called themselves Dark Lords. She was still not aware of how much time had passed, had not her Father set the pod to a more distant future? Everything was as she had left, perhaps there was malfunction and she had barely slumbered. One of them took of his mask and began to address her, while her tongues were the speech of the Tsis, she understood him because of their mutual connection to the Darkness.
She kept a tight grip on her Staff Hilt, the twin blades humming as she asked what she had before,
"What is the day? The Year?"

Her disdain for the Dark Lords had to be suppressed, it seemed that they were still in charge, that her people had not thrown off "The chains" of those who made them slaves. Many of her people in order to survive placated the Dark Jedi throughout the eons, even interbreeding with them, the justified this as necessity for survival, her Father taught her otherwise, that this was another form of bondage, to dilute their blood due to cowardice.

"Oh, well, about 900 ABY... I'm not the best as remembering dates, useless things most of the time. Moving on, just who are you? I don't recall ever seeing you around here..."

As he paused, he took another look at the human at her feet. He raised his hand and pulled the body to him, gripping him by his shirt. After looking him over, the Sith Lord threw the body to the ground behind him, ordering the soldiers with him to pit him with the other bodies they found.

"You don't mind if I keep that right? Don't bother answering, I won't care about your answer either way. Think of it as a gift of good graces... now tell me who you are?"

She lowering he head whispered,
"900.. by the immortal gods.. I have slept nine centuries.. Father is dead surly.. and everyone I know.."
She was lost in that thought for a moment, when he Darth drew her attention once more by claiming The Scav.
He took up her twin bladed saber and clinched her teeth,
"Leave him be! He is my slave!"
That was ironic turn of phrase for her, for she was from a race of slaves, conquered by the Dark Lords who now possessd her people's namesake, Sith. That was her everlasting frustration, that Dark Jedi had taken their glory, their culture, and their name. She would take it back, but not yet, she had to as many of her people had done in the past, placate them as one who is occupied till the Day of Reclamation.
Deciding to give him answer she said,
"I am Karala Midwan, Daughter of Zavus Midwan. Korriban is my home."

She was not certain if that name had any weight on Korriban so long after. It was more like the Dark Lords to forget Pureblood Clans of old, who had fought for their right to exist. The dark side as one cleaver Dark Lady once said, "is about survival." (Darth Zannah). In this case the very survival of a species that had to claw its way up the ladder of Shadow. Many Purebloods did gain noteriety, there was the Master of Darth Malgus, Darth Vindican, who lead the Sith as an Empire back to Korriban, and paid for it with his life, being betrayed by his Apprentice as is the tradition of the Dark Lords. The Pure Bloods prized strength in the same way, but they also prized family, something the Dark Lords saw mostly an encumbrance rather than an asset. Though that was how they were then, she could not speak for how they now operate, what reforms may have taken place in a near millenium of time...

Nexion looked over at the Sith pureblood with an unimpressed look on his face upon hearing that his new acquisition is the woman's slave. Glancing back at the body then back at her, he spoke in a mocking tone.

"Oh, is it now? Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep ahold of him until you've been cleared. As I said, consider it a sign of peace and he will be returned to you alive when you've been accepted. I can't confirm if he'll be well, but he'll be alive."

As the pureblood spoke of her heritage, Nexion had a bored look on his face, despite the smirk still on it.

"Well then, Karala, I can't say I know who you are. Unfortunately for you, that means I have no reason I should keep you alive here and now. I've never had a pureblood specimen, so give me a good reason not to end you here and now."

Karala sighed, it seemed this Dark Lord was into dissecting. She tried to think of a way to appease him, to ensure that she would survive or else all her Father had done was in vain.
"I have counter offer.. let me live and you may have my First Born."
The offer was rather presumptuous, she had not even seen another Pure Blood alive yet, not to mention a male. That was one of the reasons she made such a gesture, which she suspected he would have something to say about. Though if somehow she did one day have a child, it would be a bargain she would have to keep. The Dark Lords were not to trifled with, if anything he long and sad history of her people taught was that the Lords were ruthless and would to anything to assert their supremacy.
"Do we have terms?"
She said this in a rather nonchalant tone. What she was promising him was the Fruit of her Womb, another Pure Blood yet unborn. Though if she did not, she would perish and that child would never exist anyways. So the gamble to Karla seemed sound.
