Ancient Sith, the hieroglyphs of the ancient Sith language that emblazoned many of the tombs in the valleys of Korriban. Ianthe shuddered as she looked up from the primer book clutched in her hands to the archway of the ancient tomb that the group of acolytes stood before. She could feel the darkness exuding from the yawning entrance before her even as the elderly Sith twi'lek teacher droned on about the dangers of entering old tombs on Korriban.
"...eadly creatures sometimes inhabit these ancient tombs, either as guardians charged with defending the tombs by the ancient sith, or otherwise inhabiting them later to feed off of the latent dark side energies that linger in their caverns. This tomb, the tomb of Darth Maligax has been clear..."
Ianthe turned her attention back to the book as she tried to translate some of the wind-worn glyphs that marked the entrance to the tomb.
"Beware those who... enter," She began to mutter under her breath, looking up and down from the glyphs to the book. "Only death lay-aaaghhhh!"
Pain erupted in her vision and the book fell to the dusty red valley floor as Ianthe dropped to her knees, lightning crackling off her form for a moment as the teacher's decrepit claw returned to the folds of his robe.
"No interuptions!." The twi'lek sith shouted as he glared at the sniffling Ianthe. "As i was saying, this tomb has been empty and clear of threats for some time, perfect for you weaklings to study the glyphs inside. Any questions? No. Let us proceed." The Twi'lek turned before anyone could voice what questions they might have and strolled into the ancient tomb.
Standing, Ianthe brushed the dust from her robes and picked up the study book. Flipping back to the page she had been on, she looked back up at the glyphs. "Only death lay ahead for those who enter the tomb of... Darth Malgore." She paused, looking back and forth between the book and the archway. "Malgore... but the teacher said Darth Maligax..." She trailed off before shrugging and proceeding to follow the other Acolytes to the entrance of the tomb.
