Cyrus couldn’t help but exhale sharply through his nostrils - taking a moment to dispel his own anxieties as the durasteel doors to the office slid open. The Acolyte had heard his fair share of rumors regarding the no-nonsense Professor, and the ‘creative’ punishments he reserved for student...
Cyrus couldn’t deny being.. Ever-so-slightly unsettled by the assignment with Vander. The Acolyte had undertaken multiple assignments near Umbara and the new Korriban academy, regular activities that befit his status at the lowest rung of the Sith hierarchy. Nothing quite as important as their...
