With both Sith ready and Kas’im explaining Ataru away without a care in the world, Cheriss would redirect her attention to him as she followed along with what he was saying. With both of them somewhat refreshed, it was time to lock in again. The next few forms passed by slower than the first...

Confidence was good. Not to the point of becoming arrogant, but a healthy dose of trust in oneself was necessary when it came to learning things like this. Cheriss nodded at Karai’s answer, glad that they were on the same page in that regard. “You’re a quick learner,” she responded. “I’m sure...

As they went through the lesson, Cheriss was glad that it was free of interruptions. Karai clearly wanted to learn as much as she did, and she appreciated how they were in their own zones the whole time. Even if she occasionally looked over to see how he was doing and vice versa, they never...

Given that both Sith were already familiar with Shii-Cho, that lesson only lasted about an hour before they were ready to move on. Makashi, being Cheriss’ primary form, wasn’t draining either. So she simply watched Kas’im demonstrate the moves, refining some of what he showed to fit her own...

Sitting across from Karai, Cheriss mirrored his position and closed her eyes to help herself concentrate. She could feel the power within the holocron. As both Sith combined their strength in the Force, the holocron shuddered before it opened to reveal the Gatekeeper. When she heard his voice...

Despite its poor position, the abomination managed to gain his footing back. A Force push sent both Jedi and Sith back, resulting in yet another stalemate. What was worse was the lights suddenly turning on. Cheriss’ vision went fully white, and she instinctively lifted her hand in an attempt to...

The reason Cheriss hadn’t ignited her lightsaber was to avoid accidentally stabbing her partner. However, Xyrin didn’t seem to have any worries doing it the other way around, and soon Cheriss found a red blade just inches in front of her face. She instantly questioned why she’d worried about the...

Wild. Both Cheriss and Karai agreed that that was what characterized the tale of the origin of the Sith. As a species and as an Order, they had achieved great things over millennia. Perhaps that story was even wilder. Reality was its own fantastical story in of itself. As for Corellia, there...

Cheriss rested a finger on her chin, listening with curiosity as Karai told his story. Even if it was quite fantastical, it was still interesting to hear about. The power to create a planet by simply willing it to exist did sound magnificent. It was poetic, too, the way that life, light, death...

Cheriss barely heard the hiss of Drane’s lightsaber as the blade disappeared into its hilt, nor the crash as it fell to the floor. Only the sound of his breathing mattered. Heavy, like hers, as she pressed her hips against his, yearning, burning for what she could feel beneath his surface...

Whether the voice was automated or not, it certainly sounded like a broken record. Unfortunately for the speaker, their message simply went in through one ear and out the other when it came to the two Sith and the one droid. That is, until they were forced to a stop as R6 angled his light up...

Cheriss liked to think that flattery didn’t work on her. In the past it never had, because she’d always known that they never meant it. They’d always wanted something back. But when Drane did it and his eyes bored into hers like that, as if she were the only one here in this hallway, this...

Cheriss had almost thought that Xyrin was going to say something serious for once when the acolyte’s hand went to her stomach instead. The champion frowned. “Now don’t accuse me of starving you, you—” “YOU. SHALL NOT. PASS.” Cheriss looked around for the source of the voice. This time it...

This abomination, though it was a monster, was an artist in its own way. The seamless twirls of his blade, black as night, and the deadly waltz he participated in with both Jedi and Sith was quite enthralling. It was only that his opponents were dancers too— and they appeared to have a few...

Though it wasn’t extremely obvious, Cheriss’ smile would fade slightly when Karai mentioned that there wasn’t much to do on the streets. How can that be true? She’d spent all day running from here to there, doing this and that, all among other things to scrape up just enough to keep her and her...

When Drane echoed her words, Cheriss had been expecting him to ready his saber like she did, holding onto the lightsaber hilt with both hands to prepare for a potential incoming attack. What she hadn’t expected was that the “attack” would come from him. Before she knew it she was pinned once...

Cheriss eyed the girl critically when she rejoined her. Where is Xyrin and what have you done with her? It almost sounded like an apology coming out of her lips, and the earlier attitude she’d been showing seemed to have vanished. Maybe she’d finally learned her lesson. “Hm. Just don’t do it...

Implying anything else? With her back turned to him, her brow raised once more and Cheriss thought it best not to ask what exactly he thought she’d been implying as she poured some more coffee. When Karai brought up roping her into a duet, and at least one from what he said, she could only...

Cheriss was just about to make her way to the droid when she suddenly felt a pressure on her hand. Caught by surprise, she felt it twist, and she turned around just in time to see Xyrin pinning it to her back. “What is wrong with you?” Cheriss snapped, but she wasn’t done there. She is just...

The woman didn’t fight back, instead falling in two halves as the Sith had intended. Cheriss frowned as she looked down at her work. She didn’t know how she felt. Seeing the faceless woman now, she looked frail, but both of them had felt what she’d been capable of before. Drane more than she...
