Dxun Misadventures

[Akhilleus]

[SIZE=10pt]Laughing at his own joke Nikias found himself unable to breathe as an invisible hand clamped down on his throat. Teeth gritting Nikias knew not to struggle or panic as doing so only wasted what valuable air he had left. Erebos wasn't allowing it to happen as he soon shocked Nikias with that red force lightning. Bolt after bolt met Nikias' body causing him to bounce on the operating table. Unable to even get in a breath to scream Nikias' face was twisted in agony each shock burning more and more as it met his flesh. Yes! This is the true power of the Sith boy! Witness it for yourself! Experience it! Feel it as though the flesh is about to be ripped from your bones. Syn said tormenting Nikias every waking moment of the torture.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]"Oh... You two would love each other,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] she'd make you her slave in days." Nikias said to Erebos as the choke was finally released from his neck allowing him a chance to breath. Gulping in air Nikias looked around in the darkness for the Dark Lord. "There is nothing for you here!" He yelled at the darkness and nodded his head towards the amulet. "Nothing here is beneficial! The spells of insanity! The memories of the pasts hosts aiming to override your own! The unmistakable dark aura that would cause any trained force user to turn their head?" Scoffing Nikias rested his head on the table and looked to his right. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]"There is nothing beneficial about it." If there was Nikias had not yet found it[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] the amulet saddled him with more weaknesses than strengths if there were any. "Thats what you Sith don't realize... This wasn't made to grant power to others[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt], it was made for the owner." [/SIZE]

Another burst of force shock came from under [member="Nikias"] but it was only for a moment. "I am no ones slave nor shall I ever be." He said with such utter distaste in his voice that it could very well drip from his mouth. Then he heard memories of the past host. "Oh really, you have her memories as well? Tell me then what about the benefits this amulet held for Syn herself?" He then said as he was getting to the crux of what he wanted to learn about the amulet from Nikias. His eyes and the instruments around the cell all focused on the amulet dissecting it with both technology and the force itself as he wanted the amulets secrets for his own.

Moving out of the shadows he moved to stand directly in front of Nikias and brought his hand up to grip his chin tightly to move his head to look at him. "Speak interloper or I'll hand you over to the prison we have built on Tython." He said as his hand gripped Nikias's chin tightly enough to leave white marks after he let go. "And if you want to lessen the amount of lightning you receive I'd advise showing respect as well as quit spitting."

[SIZE=10pt]Nikias laughed at Erebos' probing questions. The Sith was doing and asking everything in order to try and attain information about the amulet. He had examined the make and could feel the spells on it. Any serious Alchemist would've been able to find out what they need just from that. "You Sith think of yourselves as so powerful. As though you can't have your will broke. Here's a secret... You can." The mere concept that such an amulet was beneficial to the host was pure Sith ignorance. They seem to have forgotten that their own code preached for oneself above another. "These memories are not hers you fool. Of the past hosts as in you don't get anything out of them." Nikias said scowling at the ignorant Sith. He bored of this cat and mouse game.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The thing about stun cuffs was that they aimed to break the concentration of the one they were being used on. When one used abilities such as telekinesis with as little effort as they put into talking such methods became useless. Still it was hard to break out of them. Instead Nikias began building up a thin telekinetic barrier around his hands[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] it was thin at first and began expanding while Erebos went on with a speech that Nikias was sure would terrify some padawan or some fresh knight who hadn't been tortured or dealt with a Sith lord before. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]With the grip on his chin removed Nikias' arms yanked up and there would be a loud clang at the cuffs were destroyed by the telekinetic barrier exploding and breaking Nikias' hands free. Both hands splaying Nikias pushed out with the force from his body waves of power pushing out. The table he had been on would be destroyed with the racous screeching of metal being stressed. The waves were also meant to send Erebos flying backwards. Then Nikias would reach out to grab the sith's hand pressing it to the amulet. The moment the limb touched the amulet the build and make of it would be embedded into Erebos' mind showing him how it was made and carried no true benefits for the wearer but showing that it would take hundreds of dead to create something akin to it. This would also serve as one of the [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]insanity spells taking effect and passing on to effect erebos from coming into contact with it. [/SIZE]

Erebos was taken by surprise when [member="Nikias"] let out the force waves and was almost knocked down flat on his back hadn't Nikias also pulled his hand in to touch the amulet. In that instance he had smiled as the intricacies of the amulet flooded into his mind but then something else hit his mind, something darker. Ripping his hand away he gripped his head as he could feel the spells tendrils bore into his mind, using the force to build a wall around his mind he tried to keep it back. Opening his eyes he saw what form this spell took, his father stood before him. "You aren't what I wanted you to be. you are a failure of our line, Your mother would be just as disappointed as I am." His father said as he reached out and began to strangle Erebos with his hands.

The feeling was so real, so genuine that Erebos soon brought his hands up to grip the hands that tried to strangle him. "Get.. off." He gasped as he took a few steps back and tried to undo the hands moving over his neck, clawing and scraping. With anger and a hint of fear seeping into his mind Erebos gathered the force into himself and gave out a force bellow at his father. "GO AWAY!!" The bellow was powerful enough to shake and rattle the entire room as he ripped the spell away from his mind with a combination of his power in the force and the force of his will, but he also understood that this was simply one of the spells that were held within the amulet.

He had to bend slightly as he coughed and grasped for breath before looking up towards Nikias the anger leaking out from him in waves. "If I ever see you again, I will end you and everything you love." He said as he waved his hand towards the door and opened it. If Nikias wouldn't take this chance it was clear Erebos would not rest in that moment until Nikias would simply be a pile of ash or flesh and bone beneath his boot heel.

[SIZE=10pt]Nikias stood watching as the Sith Lord hallucinated[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] how he grasped at thin air and the strangled breaths. It was interesting and disturbing at the same time to see how powerful the ancient Sith spells were millenia after the talisman's creation. It made the dark jedi happy that he had a mental protection from such things. Though if this happened from one simply touching it how dangerous is it for those that were it? Nikias thought hand rising to brush against the ancient talisman. Just touching it Nikias felt the power vibrate through his being. He was gonna knock the Sith unconscious out of mercy due to knowing just how horrible wearing the talisman was[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] however the rage and hate that Erebos spewed afterwards changed Nikias' entire thinking about the situation. The Sith didn't deserve mercy at all. Not only had he tortured Nikias to try and get answers that he could've learned from touching the amulet but now he threatened the things the Hellyni loved.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Images of many people flashed through Nikias' mind and he took a deep breath summoning the miasma of energy from within himself and the amulet. Accepting the power[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] it granted him. Not so that it would control him[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but so he could tame it. The beacon that Nikias already was in the force grew brighter as he drew in more and more power. "You want the things I love then you're going to have to kill me first." Nikias said before leasing a roar fit more for a wild animal than a human. Both hands splaying out a wave of energy radiated outwards from Nikias in all directions akin to a repulse that would destroy the room and hallway him and Erebos occupied. Due to the hallway being destroyed in the blast it would begin falling apart the ceiling collapsing inwards on the two. Tossing himself to the left Nikias would dive through an opening that would close behind him as he ran for the jungle. The shuttle he had rode to the planet was unmarked and he was sure that after destroying a portion of the building that the Sith would possibly be hunting him. [/SIZE]
