A few weeks had passed since the encounter on Coruscant, the finding of a student - one eager to learn the ways of the dark side, although there was an air of concern over just how quickly the young student had taken to embracing it. Whilst Manuk was taking great strides in learning to control and harness her abilities, there was perhaps more to learn in controlling the Force and the Darkside, rather than allowing it to control her student. In Alyse's eyes, the Force was little more than a power that served as a tool, nothing more and nothing less. The gifts of the darkside that feeds upon the raw emotion of it's wielder, whilst granted it's beneficiary power and strength beyond what their light sided counterparts could wield - came at a cost, the Darkside was ultimately a parasite, feeding on it's wielders emotions, corrupting and influencing them to forever keep it's hunger satiated, at the cost of the force user's sanity. The blonde haired Sith deemed that in order to resist the corrupting influence of the Darkside, one must have a stronger will than the Force itself, so that the Force serves the will of it's wielder, not the other way around.
In hope to demonstrate this, Alyse had brought the younger blonde to Zoph, a planet out in the remote regions of the Outer rim. A world that some five maybe six years ago the blonde Sith had once stepped foot upon the desolate world as she took her own first steps into her path as a Force user, whilst in reflection her own path was one that was filled with lies and deception - her student, Manuk's will not have that same the same underlying need to exploit her potential for her master's own gain. No Manuk will learn the ways of the Darkside and the Force so that she can rule over her own destiny.
Alyse's intent was for Manuk to find her kyber crystal, that would the be foundation of her lightsaber. It was one of the few things that Locura's training she could not fault, learning to wield a lightsaber, instilled the discipline to wield and control the Force effectively. Much as the events on Coruscant, would serve as the milestone of the moment that her student learnt to summon the Force to enact her will, the rite of passage that the Jedi would refer to as the Gathering, will serve as the milestone for Manuk's growing connection to the Force, one that will grant her a conduit through which to draw upon its power with greater efficiency. Whilst the Jedi would see the gathering as an occasion of a lifetime's union between the Force user and it's conduit, this will be the occasion where the young Sith initiate will subjugate the force attuned conduit to her will.
The dull whine of the ships engines resonated throughout the hull as they powered down, the ship perched upon a remote mountainous plateau - facing the opening of a cave complex that will take the two Sith to the vein of Kyber crystals. Pushing herself away from the flight console, Alyse rose up out of her chair and paced her way out of the cockpit and through the corridor towards the modest living accommodation within the scout ship. Her hand rapping against the closed door of the compartment that had became her student's quarters. "Come now Manuk, we have arrived" the blonde spoke out before stepping away from the door and reaching into her own compartment, summoning a black hooded cloak into her hand. "You may want to bring your cloak along with the chassis of your lightsaber" she added, before throwing the cloak over her shoulders and pulling the hood over her head.
Leaving Manuk to ready herself, the Sith Guardian made her way over towards the boarding ramp - keying into the control panel the opening sequence for the doors to open and lower the ramp. Stepping out and down the unfolding stairs, Alyse pulled the cloak tight against herself as the mountainous gales whipped at the flowing black fabric, the windchill cutting through her like a knife, forcing her skin to break out in goosebumps in reaction to the cold. Still despite the bitter cold, the air was rife with the power of the Force, the currents resonating strongly from the nexus that formed around the Kyber crystal deposits - it was to say the least intoxicating.
