Seething Darkness

[Alexandra Marris]

VALLEY OF THE DARK LORDS

The dark cloaked figure tracked through desert heat, a bloody bag held at its side as it migrated through what appeared as miles of treacherous terrain. Though hostiles remained, it was doubtful the figure would find much resistance. As it approached the poorly lit entrance of the tomb, the figure removed its cloak, revealing locks of pristine red hair. Alexandra Marris, one half of the twins that had arrived to Korriban in the last few days. She glanced around for her sister, perhaps Alexis was running late with other exploratory items. While the two stayed close, they each had different hobbies and preferences. On such a new planet, there were only a few times they had decided to venture out together.

Taking a few careful steps inward, she descended the harrowing staircases, utilizing the dark side of the force to create a sweeping texture around her figure. Lights momentarily dimmed, wails of tortured souls resonating from the young sorceress. As she approached inside the lair, she would glance at the pond of blood in front of her.

She removed her cloak completely, revealing that in fact she was not wearing any clothes underneath. Yanking at the bag she brought, the severed head of a male sith fell into the sand. Grabbing it by the hair, she slowly climbed in the nude, bathing and anointing herself in the crimson pond.

[Serie Fond]

Serie entered the large corridor and awaited the arrival of her newest trainees. She couldn't exactly call them hee apprentices yet, but that wouldn't be the case for too much longer if Serie had anything to say about it.

She had ordered both the girls to make sure they were as steeped and immersed with the dark side as possible before they met with her today. She was going to teach them rather foreign and archaic spells and secrets today, and for that, they would need to as close to the dark side as possible. Those of lesser intelligence or willpower would quickly find themselves driven mad by the power that she sought and attained. Nonetheless she had obtained it, and she would she bits of it with the girls here today.

While she was sure they would immediately ask her to learn something like force lightning, she was not going to be teaching that today. She somewhat considered it to be too advanced for them to do a proper show case of the power. Instead, she would give them something they both would likely be excited about. Pyrokeniseis. It was a favorite of everyone but hers, as she saw the ability to be much too unwieldy to be considered a effective technique. She prefers precision and control, not ghastly showings of power meant more to produce a shock and see effect than really do any damage. But that's also why she was teaching it to them. Perhaps they could run rampant with the information. Perhaps they wouldn't tho. Regardless, she wasn't going to teach them what she considered to be the most effective of her techniques. She was still as cautious a person as ever, and she knew that while the two girls today were fledgling knights vying for her attention, one day, they could very well turn into rivals. To that end she would teach them what they needed to know, so she could ensure that her seat of power was still secure knowing everything they knew and how to counter it. She smiled, the wide grin stretching across her face as she entered the room and saw the woman bathing.

Took the immersion part of what I said a bit far don't you think? She said with a bit of a twinkle in her eye and a bit of snark in her voice. Get dressed. We've got a lesson to begin Alexandra.

 

[Alexandra Marris]

A wicked smile continued to remain on the young Sith's face, channeling the dark side as the level of the blood rose to her mid upper torso. Whites of her eyes flickering as she appeared in trance until of course when it was broken by the arrival of the Sith Lord. A single hand came to delicately wipe remaining blood out of eyes, shifting attention to Serie Fond. "The blood allows me to obtain a stronger conduit with the dark side, is that common or unusual that I feel that way?" She inquired but then nodded as Serie ordered her to get dressed.

Slowly rising out of the pond, her naked body went for the dark cloak, wrapping it around her figure as she glanced at the severed head for a moment and then tossed it back into the blood.

"Of course, where would you like me to start?" She suggested, trailing behind the Sith Lord.

[Serie Fond]

Serie giggled slightly at the woman's comment. If she didn't understand why bathing in someone else's blood would be a strong way to connect with the dark side, she didn't know if there was anything she could tell her that would make sense.

I have a feeling it's common. She said as she led the two of them towards a large room. It was very similar to the training rooms in the temple but this one was adorned with numerous statues.

She didn't pick this spot on accident. The stone statues would serve as a human sized target for the woman as she practiced what Serie was going to teach her. She unbuttoned her over jacket and hung it on one of the outstretched hands of the statues before suddenly channeling all the dark energy she had stored in her body.

She then superheated the released energy all around her, making it look as though she was covered in flames as she summoned her most hateful and angry memories from her past. In one swift motion her arms came over her head, before she suddenly exhaled and brought her arms to her side's again, hands still clenched and her arms flexing like she was trying to pick up something heavy. She let out a rather frightening list of profanities before finally subsiding the memories and dispersing the power.

So, want to learn how to do that or no? She asked, somewhat rhetorically.

 

[Alexandra Marris]

She glistened with glee, a wide smile coming to her face as she approached closer to the Dark Lord and studied her figure. Her mind racing through numerous thoughts as to how Serie was able to generate such abilities and whether she herself would ever be as strong as the Sith in front of her.

Devilish eyes sparkled with interest as she loftly shifted her attention upon the master, "Yes Lord Fond, I would very much like to learn these dark abilities. Anything that will aid in my desire to be a dutiful and successful Sith".

[Alexis Marris]

Alexis had been several moments behind Alexandra, but it would be impossible to miss the Lady’s presence approaching. She harrumphed to herself and hid in a side passage, waiting for her to pass. Alexis could feel her twin near to them, their relative positions creating a triangle in the Force between them, the life energy of the Twins even now interplaying with the being that wished to instruct them in deep mysteries. The Lady would not come to them unless she needed or wanted them, and she felt pride roar within her and their selection by such an illustrious individual as Serie Fond. She waited as Serie drew near to Alex, and the two of them moved together. She pouted briefly to herself.

There goes my chance at a bath. Alex said she'd found a handsome Sith to contribute to their beauty regimen. No such luck for her now, and that showed her for being a slowpoke. Alexis began to follow the pair, creeping gently as she did not want to be left out. She emerged into the chamber, feeling Serie’s true power through her metaphysical senses before what transpired in the physical realm was apparent, and a sense of awe overwhelmed her as she made her wait to her sister’s side. She reached out in a gesture familiar to both of them, grasping just above Alex’s elbow with a thumb and forefinger and pressing down. A notification to her sister that the other was there with her.

Serie turned to where the pair now stood properly assembled as her sister spoke reverently of Serie’s power. She could utter naught but a whisper.

“Such fury… Such power!” That anyone could generate such a brilliant and destructive nova amazed her, but if anyone could learn from the Lady it would be Alex and Lexi.
