The Future of The Shade (Open to Shade Order)

[Imperator]

Natalia swiftly strode through the Shade Order enclave on Thyferra with a srtrong solid pace. She had left behind her cloak and gloves due to the oppresive heat and humidity that seemed to be common all across Thyferra. An open forum had been called that any and all members of the Shade Order could. It went without saying that she would be attending it as her position on the council came with such responsibilities. How the discussion developed was beyond her control though so she only hoped that Cain was there and able to direct everyone.

Soon enough Natalia emerged into the hall which would be holding the forum for all who wished to take part. Currently only a few members fo the order where there. She reminded herself that this was to be expected as there where only fifty people in the order. Almost everyone there was a knight though so at least it was not just bored padawans and something might be accomplished. The only porblem that she noticed that Cain was not there yet. This put her off slightly as she had hoped to talk to him, but she was almost immediatly back to her normal self and began to walk towards a small gathering of people.

 

[Ols]

Cain strode in. Serene and calm as ever, he entered and everyong stared at him. But not all of the Knights were there yet, so he motioned for them to continue their conversations. He himself strode over to Natalia, "Hello," he said, smiling, noting her lack of heavy robes, "a little hot today?"

 

[Imperator]

((Sounds like she is a nude, I meant cloak.))

Natalia stopped walking towards the small group of people and instead turned towards Cain. "It is always hot on this planet, and the humidity is so oppressive I am surprised any machinery still works." a smile tugging the edge of Natalia's lips as she talked. She then wiped away a bead of sweat on her brow while noting how Cain seemed just as comfortable as ever, "I will never understand how nothing ever manages to phase you."

 

[Ols]

((I did realise she was wearing something...I thought you meant a t-shirt rather than a tunic though lol))

"Just ask the Force nicely," he said, smiling. In truth he was quite hot, but he let the Force keep him cool when he got too hot. She did look very flustered, "you should try relaxing sometime."

 

[Imperator]

"I would like to relax, but the fact is we just walked out on the Jedi Council and they know we are using dark side of the force. We do not know how they will respond to this yet. Plus, everyone knows that pirates are everywhere and a war looks like it might happen soon." She sighed heavily and closed her eyes for a moment. "Sometimes it seems like there are more possible threats to the order then there are members of the order."

 

[Ols]

He took a breath and put his arm around her, "don't concern yourself with such things. The Jedi know we work for the good and they're hardly going to send a team to eradicate us. We're not dark Jedi after all. If a hoard of pirates manage to find our secret enclave in the heart of the jungles, devoid of plunder, then we'll fight them off, and the Republic's apparent war with the Alsakans is something that we will deal with, it won't wipe us out," he smiled as he spoke, trying to reassure her.

 

[Imperator]

She openly smiled as he tried to comfort her, "I know we do not have to worry about being hunted down or anything. My greatest fear is that we will be slowly picked apart one by one. In order to truly survive we cannot just stay holed up here we have to move out and expand, and unfortunately that means we will be facing all the threats I mentioned and more. I only hope that the people who have joined with us do not regret their decision."

 

[Ols]

"They won't," he said, "and besides, have you know faith in the Force? We've come this far for a reason, it won't simply be to die out. And what's bothering you isn't as simple as the existence of the Shade Order," he said, a paradox in itself, "what's really the matter?"

 

[Imperator]

"I fear that we will lead young padawans and idealistic knights to their deaths. I fear that our beliefs will become nothing more than a footnote in history. What I fear most of all though, is that we are right in the most extreme fashion and that the Jedi's refusal to deviate from their ancient ways will cause the downfall of their entire order."

 

[Ols]

"Don't waste your time fearing such trivial things," he said, "even the Jedi council can't really know the future."

He sighed and let her lean against him as they waited.

 

[Imperator]

She leant against him and tried to relax instead of thinking of all the potential problems they faced. "You are right, as usual, worrying will not help to eliminate any of our problems."

 

[Ols]

"No it won't," he said, his arm around her shoulders. He blew a light breeze at her through the force, hoping she would just rest.

 

[Jedi man]

Ja talked with a fellow knight of the Shade however soon the Grand master Caine walked in and Ja wraped the conversation up. He noticed the master was talking to a woman and Ja waited politely, from years of training as a slave, before approaching Cain,"Sir," he began,"why did you call this meeting?."

 

[Ols]

"I called it to discuss our future, knight. I wanted to know what the rest of the Order was thinking. Oh, and don't call me sir, my name is Cain," he hated being addressed like that. Then he thought, "Do you doubt in me?"

 

[Максим]

Walking through the doors which led to the outside world, a hooded figure appeared. Slowly pulling down the cowl that covered his hace, Anshin whiped the sweat from his forehead. "The heat is almost unbearable." he muttered to himself, walking down the hall past fellow members in the Order.

Glancing over to a small group of people, Anshin noticed Cain,Natali and Ja conversing with each other. Instead of casually walking over their, most likely interrupting there conversation, he decided to move towards a wall on the opposite side of the hall. Leaning upon it, he started to consciously meditate waiting for Cain to tell everyone why he called the meeting.

 

[T.J]

Sol briskly walked through the enclave towards the meeting area. The heat was murder on him, but he ignored it as best as he could as he went over the holo vid in his head. He had been on Taris when he got it, and this was the place it told him to go. A proposition to be apart of something bigger than himself, that was what kept the heat at bay for him. He was practically bubbling over when he reached the area in the enclave where everyone was at, as he entered he spread his arms out palms facing the sky, " Greetings friends! It is so good to meet all of you." His face was lit with a bright smile as he spoke.

 

[Niner]

Kyrick Jalapter poked his head around the corner of the room and drops of sweat fell from his brow. Composing himself he stepped around the corner and into the room. His custom tunic was ell suited to this kind of atmosphere, opened at the shoulders it reavvealed his two tatoos, one that stood for the power of the light side of the Force, the other for the Dark side. Walking in he cautiously went up to the three in the center of the room,"Kyrick Jalapter reporting sir."

 

[Ols]

"You're not a soldier," said Cain, "and I'm Master not sir. Not everyone is here yet, but we will begin shortly."

 

[Niner]

"I'm sorry Master, I served a stint with a group of mercenaries for a short time and I picked up a few habits."

He nervously fingered the edge of his tunic, now that he was actually here, his confidence was rapidly dimishing, especially after the short reply he had been treated to.

 

[Ols]

Cain spoke again, "Don't apologise, you've not made any great error. Take a seat, we'll begin in a moment."
