Slithering shadows, the rift was something she had been using more and more often. After what they had done well she used it like anything else. Allowing the energy to wash over and create gooseflesh along the pink skin. She had changed very little over the years now, from a snot nosed apprentice who had been exiled by the mandalorians to an acolyte. Using her size and strength to dominate the others. She had gone further then many learning alchemy and sorcery, the deepest mysteries of the force, of the darkside that she would be able to do before she allowed the force energies herself to course throughout her body and under her skin. She had paid the price for her knowledge and here as she moved around in the thick air of the world itself.

Or whatever this actually was, she had found coming here to this place was getting easier and easier to handle but there were always going to be risks and the shadows were alive. Something within them that moved around, that was waiting until your mind was opened and you accepted their deal. THey offered power to the weak for a price far greater then what others had or were willing to pay. THese things were ancient, some might even say primordial compared to a few of the other things she had seen. Where she was looking now though as the whispers came through. 'Child why do you come?" Her mind was closed to them, locked tight behind as many mental barriers as she could do as the surface shifted from sand and deserts to a temple.

She knew this place as well, much like the day and night when they had managed to find mortis this world shifted with each moment. Before she could think to ignore another voice came sickly sweet. 'She always comes, to test her will, to see if today is the day she gives in.' Not wrong, never wrong, these might not be ancient spirits or the force but they were something. THey knew things about her, knew things about the people and everything that had been brought here. More so she had been experimenting with some of them, some of the firebirds who had not shown skill even after everything had been given over to her with the choice to see if they could be made stronger. Zinj allowed them the chance and as she was owing a great deal.... wanted to please her benefactor.

"Master, what is this feeling?" The one girl spoke looking at it, she had come through as well and there was a look on her face. She was scared and nervous for a moment longer until the sith lord stood over her. No longer as she was, she had taken what she did to herself. The warlord techniques and used the force energies here to reconstitute a stronger body. Younger and better able to handle the strain compared to some of the others. The rest well the monolith did for her as she was being able to do now. "It is okay child, just allow yourself to give in. It will make you stronger." At least that was the hope she was trying to learn about what was being done to them here and she had managed to get all of the scans of her before.

The technology she had tried to implant into the bodies before had failed, it was destroyed upon entering and no one had noticed it at the time. Where she could go now though she alowed the girl to stand there alone as she seemed to get scared. "The light, where did the light go?" She was fearful but her eyes moved back and forth darting around when she didn't seem to see the sith lord anymore. "Where did the storm come from?" Balaya looked around and couldn't see a storm but she could see the force itself now, swirling around in black whisps for a moment as it started entering the body of the girl. 'Never was anything great achieved without danger.' She was thinking to herself when the screams died away and stood there.

The girl looked different and the same, compared to many things, the change she had been observing wasn't entirely without visibility. The eyes became like golden fire at least around the pupils. Her skin took on a paler shade but it still looked healthy for now and there was a little darkening and sagging around her eyes. It looked more like she hadn't slept in a number of days compared to being path of something new and she had an almost overwhelming urge to want to escape the area now. Instead of before where she radiated fear now it was uneasiness that she was trying to project. To make the others around her fearful so she could feed upon their terror and gain more and more power.

Balaya herself was used to it, having worked with ones like Kaine or whatever he liked to call himself now. THat he was emperor and within his six or eighth body. She didn't really know and she had fallen out with a number of the sith leaving her creations where she needed it and bringing them here to look at many things. She had her children, all of the sithspawn she had created for now with no real need or interest to create more. She was merely working on what would become her warlords armor. her long red hair gleaming when she exited the gateway ans stood with this nee=w creature for her experiments. "And who am I speaking to now, you are not the scared little girl who went in there with me nor I am guessing are you completely whatever those things are."

There was a look from the creature, the whites of her eyes around the fiery gold before they were walking off. Her hands on their shoulders and the firm grip. The scanners running to try and see what changes might have gone on but she wasn't getting any indications just yet. THe sith lords eyes flicking to the screen whens he could see her lab here, the world outside alone was very different compared to others and she had sought to change up some parts of it. To really work on it as the firebirds had moved to expand their own endeavors working as a protection group to the different businesses and using their means and supplies to fuel their own. This world now almost securely under their control despite some of the protests.

Balaya had been working on many other things, her different projects were here around the lab. She worked with the firebirds and had some controlling interest in them but as far as most of them knew she was just one of the people who worked in the labs. She stood around and made them equipment both mechanical and force enhanced to better suit their needs compared to some of the others and would be able to make sure they had a whole lot more. The Order of the Terrible Glare that they had rescued and discovered here on this world had only become something more... they were dangerous, they were strong and compared to most groups. They were not sith, they were no longer jedi but they were something more.

"Well well well." She looked at the final part, the things she had requested and sent firebirds with their force guardians after had arrived. Two large vats clearly marked and secured to the walls. The waters themselves glowing with the force. Balaya had set up in a case her armor that she was working on. The crystasteel and zoosha weave designed to make it nearly transparent the turadium of the old armor changed for wintrium plating that would serve her needs and crystals. Prismatic crystals within the armor as she was working on force enhancing the materials into something that would almost be impenetrable to lightsabers and most weapons. She was forging it as her people did. A beskar'gam of sith makings using the most ancient of magics.

She was leaving it all opened, here on the world and setting a course for herself. It would take some time to get through the shroud around this world but she would have to find a way to work on it. She was heading out now to update her own holocron on the world and outside of space like this well she was able to travel. most of the galaxy had gotten about a number of sith lords. The new sith empire was around, the first order and all of these other groups that seemed to want to have the darkside so she would be able to better handle some of the things around. Slowly the jedi might even forget about her... well the ones she had met. Corvus was gone, Sochi, Rasu were gone, Sorel on the other hand might return.

THe others might not know who she was aside from Jorus until she was moving around now in the ship and meditating with her legs crossed. She had changed out of the robes and armor into something simple. Form fitted tunic that hugged her torso, black synthleather pants that were more like painted on then anything else with straps and strings at the thighs and hips. Her belt was smal but high quality with one of her sabers clasped on it. The black metal rippling where it was folded over and over with red crystal in the metal to make grooves. for her hands to grip. The thigh high boots much the same with wicked spiked heels she could use as a weapon before leading down to a small blade in her boot at the ankle.

She wasn't one to m,ess around and looked fairly normal except from being a broadly shouldered, muscled and with high definition that showed she worked out more then most. THe high gravity of the world made sure she had no excess weight while the grav tape kept her from falling over. Her hair in shades of red and pink with strands of crimson mixed in as it went down to her ankles. A massive mane smelling of perfumed oils, everything to be nice. She remained at the ready as it went behind her shoulders leaving her throat to gleam with a protector that housed a quixoni crystal at its center. Shifting with her mood almost before her eyes looked on with swirling colors that others said changed whenever they looked at her.

She was arriving at another planet, with her holocron on it. The few who ever found it could use it if they had the force but she was allowing herself to exit out of the ship and got some looks from the people here. They didn' know who she was, no longer the look of the warlord. No longer as large as a rancor almost and instead just the size of a wookiee. The seven foot tal zeltron was more then ready to move off as she entered the small building to get a speeder and a drink. Eyes flicking over the people when one noticed her saber and moved off away from her. The experiments and her sith well magics and skills could wait. She would just be here to do all of this while seeing if anyone else was going to come to try and take the mysteries of this world.
