Blood and Wine (Date with Mythos)

[Asajj]

Naboo was such a beautiful world with bright green grass spreading across giant fields. Flowers bloomed between each blade, dotting the landscape with varied colours. Asajj could appreciate this kind of beauty now that she had grown up. Her maturity brought with it a new outlook on the galaxy although some might say it could become a weakness. Nevertheless she was here only partly for the view. Mythos, the man she had bested in the Acolyte tournament but was then surpassed by had offered her a chance to meet. A date of sorts. Her younger self would've spat in the face of his offer, but now she was more open to such things.

So she sat atop one of the rolling hills across a field of flowers, waiting for her date to appear.

[Mythos]

Naboo... Home. Mythos hadn't stepped foot in the planet since the incident with the trade Union but now that Naboo was territory of the Galactic Alliance he was granted free roam with the change of regime. The plains beside the river outside of the capital city were always beautiful, his manor in the distance of house Malgus could almost be seen with the naked eye and the romanira flowers, fresh from the gardens of the palace could be smelled even from here. In his right hand Mythos had a freshly bought bottle of the finest wine credits could buy straight from the deep market bazaar of Naboos main square, in his left hand he carried a bouquet of romanira flowers, traditional gift to the girls the young men wanted to date.

He wasn't however... lacking any firepower. Slung across his back was a carbine blaster rifle, across his belt his lightsaber and bow, hidden blade of the sith assassins and of course the rudis of the dark lord in a leather strap all while cloaked under a big coat that hid the armor of the fallen king he himself had forged before leaving Atrisia. It wasn't long before he spotted the young woman who brought a certain electricity to his veins once again after all these years... @Asajj

He did not know if she had any idea that his powers of the force were gone or that he was presumed dead but he needed her for a mission here in Naboo... A revival of the sith assassins of sort. The fact that he wanted to see her for years and catch up on old times was another case entirely. He smiled, approaching and tingling fine glasses on one hand before plopping next to her. She was as beautiful as always in his eyes, he still liked her old school madness and packing enough explosives to tear down an entire villa style but the new Asajj had her charm all of her own.

"Time has been kind to you Asajj, you look beautiful.... how have you been?" Mythos said pulling back his cloak to reveal his plethora of scars then handed her the fresh bouquet of romanira without looking at anything else than her eyes.

When her eyes met the form of Mythos she was slightly taken aback. A stark difference from the man he'd seen long ago, in both appearance and existence. She felt something different about his connection to the force, the spirits did not favor him as they had done the last time they met. Nevertheless he was recognizable atleast to her. The smallest hint of a smile graced her lips as he approached, handing her the bouquet to which she gracefully accepted. A small whiff of their scent caught her senses almost like nothing she'd ever smelled before. Life under the wing of a mysterious Sith Lord and an old witch narrowed her experience of the galaxy somewhat; mainly to dark and desperate places.

"Thank you," Asajj nodded in response, noticing the scars beneath his cloak. "I see time has brought you more battles." A smirk came now, along with a narrowed gaze into his eyes. Not long ago she had held great hatred for this man, her jealousy of his power consuming her. Now though those thoughts no longer plagued her, instead she saw only potential for her future.

"I've been busy broadening my horizons, how about you?"

Mythos chuckled a bit at the remark, indeed time had brought him countless battles and tests yet he had endured, faced enemies the likes of which he never dreamed of matching and survive... even gotten the upper hand at times. To Mythos [member="Asajj"] was a mystery as well as a nostalgic pain in his back shoulder, she was beautiful to his eyes as well as incredibly dangerous to be around or even converse with, she was the daughter of one of the greatest warriors he ever met or encountered, a dangerous and true villain if there ever existed one. Yet strangely... to the eyes of Mythos Asajj was simply The Asajj... the factor and reason for who he was to begin with. "I have been busy training constantly, battling enemies deliberately stronger than me with the only purpose of becoming stronger... I am here at Naboo to kill a man... a few men to be precise" He said Sipping the glass of fine wine with absolutely no finesse at all, the Valkyr had taken all that away from him... he was a brute now. His arms were twice as large and his body was well toned and bulky to compensate for the lack of force abilities.

"The galaxy still thinks me dead at Lujo, i will use that to my advantage and i will forge an empire out of the skulls of my enemies..." His eyes met hers as his tone solidified. He was driven now... driven to reconquer his throne, amass a legion of warriors that the galaxy had never seen before and collect an array of individuals he could trust to be generals and commanders. Mythos... trusted Asajj...mainly because he had very strong feelings for her. Throught the galaxy females of every race enjoyed Mythos and Mythos enjoyed them back but he could count on his hands the few who held his heartstrings like a Catina song. Asajj was one of those. "Are you interested in some old school fun? Maybe give me a glimpse of the, more explosives than a Nabooian parade Asajj I got my ass kicked by?" Mythos said, his smile a blast from the past.

"I'll even let you call me clothface"

 

[Asajj]

Whilst Mythos spoke Asajj was busy examining his new physique. She noticed the stronger build of his body and put the pieces together. Clearly he had lost his ability to communicate with the force, that she could feel, and now he was compensating for that with strength and skill. The result from Asajj's point of view made him easy on the eye atleast. When she dragged her gaze away from his physique and up to his eyes, she saw the drive inside of him. He wanted what she wanted it seemed. More power.

"Maybe give me a glimpse of the, more explosives than a Nabooian parade Asajj I got my ass kicked by?"

That Asajj.Well there was something she hadn't felt in a long time. The childish, psychotic, pyromanic Asajj. A glimmer in her pink eyes brought it out, glaring through her soul.

"Well then, Clothface, count me in." She replied with a grin from her childhood.

That was something Mythos was not expecting, that glimmer in his eyes almost brought him out of his concentration. The last time he saw that look he was in a world of hurt loosing more blood that a coiled slithersnake in a Bantha marching feast, yet it did not last, this time that look was on his side. He bit his lower lip and looked away from her, fear that his intentions and emotions would be seen through quickly and holding back the Valkyr bravado and brash talk that was used in the planet. He pulled out a pouch, inside it was an array of thermal detonators the size of a thumb, each one with enough punch to crack open a duracrete wall clean through and kill everyone on the other side with it's impact alone.

"Then you will be needing this" He said while throwing her a sly wink, together he thought they would be making quite the show for the annual Nabooian parade... he already had a plan. He pointed to a far off building to the east of their position. "That is the Gungan trade quarter, in it's higher echelons there is a gungan who i want dead... and everyone around him... he is the Nephew of Boss Nosso, Gungan poodoo pusher that killed him in his sleep" Mythos spat, bitter anger in his voice while he got up and assembled his gear. Nooso was a good friend of Mythos back since childhood and the loss of his life brought great anger and sorrow to the fallen king.

"That's yours" He said while pointing at the bag of explosives and bag of subtle communicators and a wrist device that held his position along with it being a holonavigator, a weapon in itself holding a small blaster and a drone deployer for recon. He leaned in quickly, not even asking and stole a kiss from her lips that was long overdue. "That's mine, Let's go play"

With that the cloth was back over his face and sprinting downhill with powerful strides he went, battle rifle slung across his chest and a beating heart filled with both excitement and a thirst... for blood and destruction.

Asajj marveled at the pouch of explosives as if she were a kid again. "For me? You shouldn't have." She mocked, taking the bag and inspecting it's lethal contents closely. Meanwhile the details of the mission were explained to her. A gungan and his associates, a trade quarter, something about echelons. The specifics were replaced with a blah blah blah noise that came from that childish part of her mind. Only when he kissed her did she listen again.

"That's mine, Let's go play"

"Oh," Asajj sat still for a moment, processing what had just happened. However when Mythos began sprinting off she quickly snapped herself out of it and moved. Grabbing the equipment she needed, she broke into a run towards the Gungan trade quarter, aiming for an outer wall which she hoped to climb.

stride.. then sprint then run... Mythos was not as fast as he used to be, his added weight and muscularity although in top shape did not allow for the limber acrobatic movements that characterized him in the past. He was fast but not as fast as before, he was acrobatic but much more rigid, he was flexible but not as limber.. yet he was much stronger and physically powerful than before. He carried a classic F-11D blaster with some heavy modifications, it was slimmer, had a silencer and was equipped with a high powered scope that boasted a thermal and night vision setting for his op. His side arm was totally different, a gas powered tranquilizer dart gun that was weird to look at and fit strangely in one's hand but he had used it several times before and trusted the weapon to down a Rancor with it's full magazine.

Upon arriving at the outer door he pulled out his signature high powered bow and strung a special arrow that was adjusted to his belt, he aimed it high and looked through it's internal scope to catch a Gungan warrior patrolling the upper wall... He aimed to him and fired. The arrow silently zipped through the black sky and stuck the warrior in the neck then pulled him back with the nanofiber string and slammed his carcass against the wall as the poor guard struggled for his life. By the time Mythos was climbing the wall using the carcass as leverage, the gungan was already dead.

"I'm on my way to the top of the outer wall, what's your position?"
