By now, Nico was not surprised that he did not score an easy win. The impassive pureblood did not simply surrender his name, but instead stepped towards him. His words hit hard, despite them being half-expected. Then Red moved to shove Nico. It might have worked, but the Sennexian had been...

As Nico emerged from the treeline, he noticed the speeders a short distance from the cave entrance. Competitors for the crystals it seemed. While they were an unwelcome complication, part of him relished the opportunity. Finally someone he could lash out at. Suddenly Red wanted to talk and...

Nico would never quite get used to doing as he was told. It was not in his nature. But there were dead men at their feet and he had no better plan to suggest. He twisted his nose up all the way as they dragged the downed guards into the storage room, praying to the Force he would have chance...

Nico did not sleep for hours. He was too furious. The pureblood disrespected him at every turn, displaying barely the smallest inclination to work together at all. In any other scenario, Nico would not have tolerated it. Yet his only option was to fight the other Sith, a gamble he was not...

Once again, Red said absolutely nothing in reply. It was maddening, but in the absence of any other options Nico had to swallow it. Back on Askaj, or home on Karfeddion, he would have tortured a slave to death for such insolence. But he was not on home ground and Red was no slave. The pureblood...

They shouldered past the carcass of the worm, Ambrosia moving its huge bulk aside with the Force. Nico would have had to concentrate for a long moment to begin shifting such a weight and he watched Ambrosia jealously out the corner of his eye. He longed to be strong enough to do such things so...

Nico accompanied Sah’ra to the homestead, having little choice but to follow. It was not what he had planned. He had intended to have the Sith Master present herself to the gathering of elders in Kethle village, ostensibly as a herald of Lady Moon, or perhaps the goddess herself in human form...

Nico watched impassively as Thel tried to persuade the men to let them through. He had never spent much time trying to learn such soft skills himself, having always been more drawn to the Dark Side’s potential to deal out shock and awe. He could have had a go at frightening the guards into...

Nico got a small thrill from shunting Red back. The pureblood was a similar height and unlike Nico, who trained for appearances alone, his muscled brawn looked more than skin deep. It felt good to get one over on him, particularly given how difficult he was being. The thrill was short lived...

His plea had some effect, in that Red stopped and turned. However, Nico almost immediately wished it had not. The pureblood advanced on him purposefully, striding back through the undergrowth, gold eyes fixed on him but his thoughts a mystery. Nico found himself retreating backwards...

The guard took them up in the lift with little more than a casual gesture from Thel. Nico had enjoyed some success with mental manipulation himself in the past, but was not yet as confident in the other Sith. If it had not worked, they could both be under arrest by now. They arrived at the...

It seemed Red's time of being silently helpful was at an end. The pureblood scoffed, seemingly amused by the idea of building Nico a shelter. He tossed the animal skin in Nico's direction, speaking for the first time only to rebuff the Sennexian, before turning and walking away. "Stop!" Nico...

There were few times Nico had felt more vulnerable than there, in that dusty temple, bound by a power greater than his own, as a woman drew blood from his body. Trust the witch to cut him across the chest. If it scarred he really would kill her one day. That was a promise. When she finally...

Nico's stirring of the fire seemed to attract Red's attention for a moment, but it still elicited no words. It was frustrating to say the least and another time the Sennexian might have considered marching off alone. But it was rapidly getting dark and he knew there may be worse than massifs...

Nico wrestled on the spot for a moment as her Force grip closed around him. He struck out impulsively in defense but he was not remotely her match and she soon pinned him to the spot, constraining his breathing. He knew the slaves and credits alone would have been too good a deal. If she...

With seemingly no control over Red and the risks all around them, Nico had little option but to follow the pureblood's lead. It pained him, but not as much as usual. He surprised himself how much the silence he was getting from the other Sith was spurring a rare curiosity in him to understand...

Nico was still trying to get some sense out of his silent companion, when the pureblood unexpectedly shoved him over. In seconds, the acolyte found himself flat on his back on the hard earth, the redskin leaning over him - straddling him even - a firm hand on his mouth. Nico had a retort for...

The pureblood glanced back at him, his otherworldly golden eyes a little unsettling. Nico was sure they flicked up and down, as if checking the Sennexian out, and he breathed in instinctively. Nico was already preparing to spar with the pureblood when the guy just turned away and started...

Nico was less than thrilled about trekking all the way to Zoph. It was in the middle of nowhere and the journey stole precious days he could have dedicated to other purposes. Still, he prayed it would be worth it. If he could get his hands on even a few of the kyber crystals apparently to be...

The more senior Sith did not surrender and his riposte on the subject of skincare almost made Nico smile. Were they joking with one another here? It was not something he did often. Thel certainly took charge, assuring Nico that all was in hand and swiftly dismissing all of his concerns. The...
