Things had been changing in the Sith Order as of late. Former masters were dropping like flies, showing themselves to be either traitors or inadequate in light of a rising group of champions. Hell, even the chatty Pureblood Trodai had begun to make a name for himself as an acolyte and now a champion since he'd met Ayomi early in his career. With all that, what had Ayomi accomplished? The holocron from G'wenee on a trip with the gorgeous and powerful Caerllion was yet to be fully explored, and cementing Sith influence on Cotellier was an achievement, but what else did they have to show from their time as a champion? Even Cotellier seemed like such a long time ago now, with Karys graduating to a champion and taking out two other Sith as he claimed his own power, including the third member of that mission, the Echani Param.
Needless to say, Ayomi was angry; not at anyone else, but on themselves. They'd been treading water as acolytes rose up and surpased them, not only failing to do much of interest for the Order as a whole but failing more to progress their own power. If recent events were anything to go by, it was that kind of attitude and failure that got you killed. Not that the Tiefling had an rivals to speak of; quite simply, they weren't a threat to anyone right now. Just another champion of no name or consequence. A master not of lightsaber forms or a planet, but a master of failure and weakness.
A loud snapping sound cracked through the air of the empty Umbaran Academy gym as Ayomi's tape-wrapped fist smashed through the punching bag they'd been laying into while they let their thoughts run through their head. A quiet hissing sound broke the silence as sand poured from the new hole in the punching bag. The firece yellow of the Tiefling's irises blazed in contrast to the deep red of their sclera as they moved over to a new punching bag, toned arm muscles exposed by the simple black tank top the champion wore with a pair of workout shorts. A new series of heavy, rage-fueled punches began as Ayomi began pounding out their frustrations once again.
