Via Dolorosa
Amans In Tenebris
The time had come to take her Apprentice, [member="Mandy Diaz"], out into the galaxy as a new follower of the Darkside. The Dagobah Sith had stolen her away from the slums of Coruscant and gave her a new life and a new purpose. She had shown the girl the true power of the Darkside, built a foundation in the Force for the girl to build on, and explained the meaning of the Sith Code. There was much molding yet to do with her Apprentice before she could become a true and proper Sith. And in order for that to happen, the girl needed to see the galaxy in a different light. Plus, the art of diplomacy was something the One Sith had been stressing the Master's to both engage themselves and to teach their Apprentices.
"We will be going to the planet of Adumar. The planet was recently brought into the folds of the One Sith government. However, there seems to be opposition at the moment. We are to go there and lay any doubts or fears they have to rest. A Sith is not always about fighting and conquering. Mere words can have a lasting effect. Plus, it will be good for you to work on your speech skills."
This outing was also for her benefit as well. She needed to learn more about politics and how they worked herself. She had been given a lot of responsibilities of late and she needed to show the Lords she could handle whatever they threw at her.
"Along the way we will instruct you on the ways of lightsaber combat. The basics for now...and when you are ready, you will construct your own lightsaber and we will move on to the advance stages of forms and combat." Darth Venefica produced a hilt from the left side of her belt, different than her personal one on her right, and handed it to her Apprentice.
"This once belonged to...well...it doesn't matter anymore. It is yours until you create your own. Now, feel how light it is in your hand compared to a blaster. It's a more civilized weapon for a more civilized time."
