Broken and deadly, wild dog absent leash

[Ignitus Tapesh]

In the vicinity of the planet Amar there slowly crept along a ghost ship in the form of a Fury Class personal star fighter, within it what was left of the Sith named Ignitus sat in the its quarters staring at the seared slash on the port side wall it had made many weeks ago with its sabers.
Its head quickly snapped to the side as it heard the slightest of noises, yelling inaudible curses at the sound before pausing and waiting while listening hoping for any form of a response.
What was known as Ignitus had been free floating through the galaxy within his dark dead ship for weeks, with nothing but its own hate for itself and the raging desire to kill and destroy to keep it company.

The imahalyans light floated through the darkness of space, the hull reflecting what light was shone open while slowly flying along on one of it's usual rubs to ship grain out to some planet that had bought it or raw handmade material mixed in that had to be dropped off at a few places

Onboard it's bridge stood Stardust looking out among the stars and void of the galaxy, something in the force had been pulling at her something she couldn't quite say....she dreamt last night she approached a wold fire tearing everything up that let it stay aflame, within this dream she reached put to it as if to help one up then.. Well she woke up, wondering why the hell had the force shown her this?

Her day dream was broken as a comms officer tapped her shoulder

ma'am we've a unidentified ghost ship, scans indicate that there's someone aboard..

She approached the view port as she narrowed her eyes, yes this is exactly what she felt in the dream....turning she started for the hangar

keep every board on board secure me a docking tube

Her orders were quickly down no less then 7 minutes later did a docking tube attach and Stardust walked into it making sure the door closed behind her. She walked slowly her two sabers within quick reach as she glanced around before entering the ship

hello? Anyone in here? We detected someone in here in coming in slowly ok

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

Within the ship there was only blackness save for the small portion of the main hold (which was the area the access hatch led into) which came the bridge, the illumination came no doubt from the what little light there was within the sector.
Then a single heavy bootstrap echoed through the bridge. There was something within the darkness of the main hold.
The sound of the single foot fall was clearly one that came closer to [member="Stardust Raxis"] .
Suddenly two bright white blades ignited, filling the center of the hold with their glow, revealing a very large Dathomirian Brute, what could be seen his unique pale white skin was adorned with obsidian tattoos of Dathomirian origin. The large brute wore a black set of armor made of several types of hides and layers of scales. Scattered across it were obvious markings of where the armor had been struck by lightsabers and resisted most of them.
Two bubbling pools of orange sulfuric eyes locked on Stardust. This creature emitted the unmistakable presence of a predator. A killer. A Sith.
A low growl rumbled from deep with the things throat, its hands gripping its sabers tightly, those burning eyes never leaving those of Stardusts, its large form was tense, as a band stretched and twisted to its limit ready to snap at any moment.
But it remained motionless.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

Oh boy, this place definitly was such a dark and different place compared to her freighter she just left. She glanced around at the place such a dark and terrible feeling coming from this place. She stopped as she heard a noise hands going to her sabers to clasp them

Staring into the dark she heard the foot fall, before the area lit up with the glare of a white saber! She moved back a bit as she eyes the one before showing now fear obly surprise that was quickly changed to determination. Standing at her full height of 6 and a half feet tall she looked to the with before her...she was tempted to wipe the floor with him then and there but something was off...he looked hurt, lost, confused, and angry. She held his gaze and spoke

shut of your saber...i can see your lost...ans something more

Her hands were still ready on her sabers just in case
[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

The brute held [member="Stardust Raxis"] ' gaze for a long moment remaining still as she spoke.
Then she told him to extinguish his blades. His head tilted to the side questioningly in response.
Another guttural growl rumbled from his throat as his hands gripped the hilts of his sabers so tightly they began to tremble.
His expression slowly turned from one of emotionless stone to anger, his features twisting into a glare of an animal who's been backed into a corner. His lips curled back as his growl became louder.
Suddenly he lunged forward, twisting his body after closing half the distance between them, he was fast, faster than anything of such a tall and wide size should have been able to.
Spinning towards her with his blades, coming at her like a hurricane

"HIT ME! FIGHT ME!"

He roared as he began his attack with reckless abandon.
The Sith was clearly unhinged and beyond reasonable thought, even the force that flowed around his being was unstable, fluctuating constantly as it would attempt to flow through him one moment but then quickly rebound off of him as though it knew his mind was too unsteady to control the forces flow.

"KILL ME!"

The words ripped from his throat sounding more like a childs tortured plea for release than a threat or war cry.

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

Tense silence was all that greeted her, her fingers curled around those cylinders as she braced herself. Was this even a sentient being? She could not know for sure at all from the growls she was getting. She studied him a bit more looking into his force signature further finding it just so distraught she had to stop as she let a breath out

Then came the attack, Stardust figured he would and watched him she ducked quickly reaching her left arm to bat one of the sabers burning the synthetic skin and showing the gold cortosis beneath. Jumped and got behind him kicking him back with such stemgjt one would only find from a warrior.

no, I will not kill you! Please listen to me and shut your other saber off....please I can help you!

She pleaded still ready her sabers not even drawn just yet...she didn't want to attack and harm him she could visibly see something was wrong

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

Paid little mind to the curved hilt saber that deactivated after connection wither her arm, throwing it aside and immediately made use of his free hand.
Thrusting his right hand up against the center of [member="Stardust Raxis"] ' chest, attempting to redirect the force that flowed in her into him, by channeling his mind to drain her of her power and of her life (force drain)
His left hand still gripping the elongated hilt of his second blade. The hilt being crafted of his first trophy, the bone of a greater Krayt dragon.
He quickly reversed his grip upon before raising it above their heads, the tip pointing downward awaiting to be plunged into soft flesh and hard metal
His glowing ember eyes bore deep into hers, but it seemed more as though he was staring through her to someone else that was not there, what little essence he had already siphoned slowly repairing bits of his shattered mind, flooding it with memories.

"I am strong! I am worthy! All trials I've overcome! Every tests I've passed! Yet nothing in reward! Why do you continue to forsake me master!"

Suddenly the blade was driven into the wall behind her, the saber searing into the metal, turning it molten is seconds.

"Answer me father!"

He demanded leaning forwards so their faces were mere inches apart.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

Alright yep she made a mistake given she felt his hand on her chest and that metal wall behind her just didn't feel to good at all. She cursed feeling herself weaken a tiny bit as she showed herself and glares to him listening to his ramble....she though for a moment glanced to the saber by her head as she looked back to him and claimed herself making herself center

your strong but you lack guidance whoever your master and father is they gave you none!

She yelled to him as she quickly raised her left hand and hit the saber and suddenly gathered the force and pushed it onto him while kicking forward and got away from his grasp as she got distance

you lack the one thing every force user needs be they sith, Jedi, or gray. You lack a guidance instead your wild and all over the place

Her force signature would suddenly show....like a massive dragon awakening she looked to him

I can give you guidance I can give your a purpose. All you have to do...is stand down

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

Ignitus froze, his eyes finally falling away from those of [member="Stardust Raxis"]
His lightsaber was extinguished as he took a step back and turned away from her.
What she had said, gave him praise, though only a small amount, rocked him to his core, having never received such his entire life, in any form.

" What do you know of it? Nothing. Why are you even here?"

Suddenly the previously discarded curved hilt flew to his outstretched hand. He slowly holstered both hilts before leaning against the wall opposite her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I am Sith. Sith never 'stand down.' As for guidance... A weapon needs none. All it needs is a hand to wield it, and yours do not appear up to the task."

He shifted uneasily against the wall, his head suddenly jerking from one side to the next as his mind was still piecing itself back together, and not in the most comfortable of ways.

"I will allow you give me and my ship passage to the nearest port that is capable of making the proper repairs to my vessel.. Then we can part ways absent further conflict."

His words carried the typical 'above all others' way that most sith spoke with, but his tone was suggested he spoke them out of routine rather than true belief.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

Phew that saber by her lekku was giving her the absolute chills....ans this is coming from a woman who fight a fething dragon! She looked at him brow raised and spoke

I know but in you I see me when I was young...no purpose yet so string in the force that if given purpose you'd flourish...as for why I'm here well take a look around your ship...got a nice hole in it and it's drifting

She watched his hilt fly to him keeping careful as with were unpredictable most of the time, she chuckled standing up and shook her head

aha! But doesn't the hand guide the weapon hm? Besides you don't look like a weapon....you look like someone with potential otherwise the force wouldn't of led me to you

She watches him seeing his heas keeping...she had no idea what was happening but just let it go...nect she chuckled and shook her head as she stood up straight

are you programmed to say that? Your tone might say different...possibly even that you don't want to be left alone...tell me what is your name

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

"The mind guides the actions of the hand, the hand wields the weapon."

He replied before growing quiet for a long moment, turning his back to her. After taking a deep breath he turned back to face her

"My name is Ignitus Tapesh. And you will either grant me and my ship passage or you will not. Either way, I will get what I want. Your answer only determines whether or not you and your crew survive."

He paused before adding

"If you agree, I may choose to listen as you speak. To see if what you so desire to teach holds any truth, or if it is as fake a construct as your arm. Decide."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

first off do not threaten my crew, secondly I'll grant you and your ship passage back to my planet but you'll be staying with me under my watch until your ship is repaired

She was quite firm when she said this, she turned and walked towards the hatched as she looked back to the Sith and turned again as she looked him over once more with the force and nodded

I am queen Stardust of imahalyan. I see within you match hate, anger, and...longing you've been ignored for too long

She said and looked him eye to eye as her expression softened a bit

and one would be stupid not to see the strenght you possess within the force...i can see it obly increasing should you listen to me

She opened the hatch and had everyone clear as she entered and looked to ignitus waving him to come

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

"Who made threats?"

Ignitus asked, seeming genuinely curious, much as a dog would when confronted with something it had done wrong hours before being scolded.
He smirked at her mentioning being Queen

"Never heard of it. Must not be very productive or industrious, making it unimportant. Which would makes you about as important as a god among insects."

He nodded, however, in acceptance of her terms.

"Taking responsibility for a wild animal loose on your ship is a brave task. Unless you intend to keep such confined to your own quarters as well? Foolish if it is to be so, I do not do well without room to roam."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She glanced to him, such a odd sith...she turned towards him once she answered and crossed her arms. True her planet was not big or popular as say zeltros or corusaunt.

while you may be right you will watch your tongue, your a guest in my ship and soon on my planet

She smirked and then laughed shaking her head before she laughed again

confine you? One would be such foolish to confine a beast....youll be near me under a watchful eye a simply room across from me...not confine now....on a leash possibly

She was firm when she spoke it WAS gonna happen not maybe this'll happen

tell me ignitus, what's the force to a sith?

She knew but she wanted his answer

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

"You would sooner find that leash wrapped around your own neck and yourself upon your knees before me... as is the place of any who are not pledged to the Sith."

He slowly stepped towards the docking bay, awaiting the door to slide open.

"It is a tool to be both mastered and used."
He replied, answering her question before stepping into the hall that connected their ships as the first door slid open.

"And of all things my tongue is what you worry about? Or wishful thinking? Perhaps it wasnt the force that drew you to me but rather your untapped and under appreciated libido."

His eyes made a quick examination of her from head to toe before looking away.

"But about the rooming situation, you have been warned. I take no responsibility should anything happen to your crew should I find their hospitality lacking.."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

She stopped them, she turned around her eyes glaring at him as a dragon would someone who annoyed it. She spoke calmly

the Sith are but a part...as are the Jedi untapped potential on both sides that hinder you for what you truely could do

They walked a bit further crew staying out of the way, she came to a hall with two doors and stopped, she had just about as much of his words...or maybe that was his game was to upset her and make her lash out...sp instead she used the force and started raising him up as she turned yet again showing no difficulty if there evem was any at all

I do not think I was....clear....you WILL not hurt the crew and while your aboard you WILL listen to me, unless you wish to wallow it what you call strenght...by that I mean the force...

She let him go to fall as she spoke again

heed my word ignitus....i wish to teach you but to do so you will listen....otherwise you'll never reach your potential

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

Ignitus would not resist her lifting him with the force. Instead he simply crossed his arms over his chest and smirked.
He listened to her as she spoke, the grin never leaving his face

"You hold yourself high above one whom you've only just met. You expect me to just fall in line like sheep? Tell me, what would have happened had I aimed my saber a little more to the right a few moments ago? There would have been another hold added to your skull. I'm not saying in another more true fight you could not best me, but I could have killed you a moment ago. So, in other words, your highness, back your assumed superiority over me up. My respect is earned, not given, and even then it is rare. At this moment in time we are discussing a transaction. You wish to teach, and if it is truly worth my while I will stay and learn. But if you attempt to hold me prisoner I promise you, I will bury you with your crown, which means nothing to me same as your assumption of being better than I."

When she let him fall he'd land on one foot gracefully before setting the other down and standing firm.

"As it stands now, in exchange for my transport I will not harm your crew. And if you have something to say I will listen. "

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

She stopped as she blinked and then she smirked and chuckled. He couldn't be pushed around so easily and that impressed her...

I don't hold prisoners, and none would be stupid to try and keep you prisoner without bringing something to restrain you ignitus. True I must apologies for seeming high and mighty that I shall admit

She opened the door to what would be his room, it was simply plain with only one desk and a bed to sleep on, she walked in

ignitus, tell me about yourself I only know what I see on the surface nothing more or less...such a character like you interest me

 

[Ignitus Tapesh]

Stepped into the room, lowering himself down onto the bed which would bend from the sheer weight.

I am Bastard to Darth Arioch of the noble Arkanian house of Tapesh. From what I was told by my mother he came to our Clan, the Burning Mountain Clan on Dathomir, and blessed them with a few secrets of the dark side. In return my mother, the Matriarch of our Clan, offered to teach him the dark arts of the night sisters, but only if he gave a an offering of seed to strengthen her blood line. He reluctantly accepted, as my father put it, after he which he left, never to return. I was born from that union. I was raised to worship him as the god that he is, and trained harder than any other male of our Clan to prove my worth to him. After my rite of passage I left Dathomir and sought my father out. He refused at first to take me as his apprentice or accept me as his progeny, bastard not. He dumped me on Tatooine with the goal of either slaying the mightiest creature on the planet or dying and ridding him of the burden of a useless apprentice. From the pieces of tech he left me with I built a lightsaber, then went into the desert wastes, as feel as I could go and found my prey. A greater Krayt Dragon. After battling with it to the point of exhaustion and death for both of it it finally fell to my blade. So I used it's body for sustenance and it's bones to finish my lightsaber."

He would suddenly pull from his belt an extended hilt light saber, the extension of the hilt being made from a piece of a Krayt Dragon thigh bone.

"And with its pearl and I built a second after returning to my father, who agreed to take me on as an apprentice but from then forth would only refer to me as a mongrel."

His free hand pulled the curved hilt lightsaber of elegant chromium.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Ignitus Tapesh"]

Stardust took the chair from the desk and sat listening to his background, seemed like a normal story from his kind right up to the point of him seeking out his father then it seemed like any sith...she still however listened with care taking in every detail she possibly could that was important then nodded. She glanced to his sabers as they hovered gently and careduky as she turned them....such impressive designs...she let them go back to his hands

I knew I felt something within you...uoive been denied by your father...a mongrel your not a warrior I would call you...a mongrel would be killed me without a single hesitation

She took her own sabers out and showed him her light sabers, both were a almost bronze color wirh intricate designs on it. She then put them away

ignitus I see within you true potential...otherwise I would've left you....you need a purpose and I wish to offer you to be my apprentice.. I will teach you to be stronger and how to use both sides of the force to be stronger then a Jedi or Sith

She said and looked him in the eyes as she let a small smile creep

Oh I've also slain a dragon it's how I got my crystals
