Vaylin
Moirai No More
Prior to the NIO's Siege and Invasion of Mygeeto, the Sith Valkyries had been contacted by an individual who was interested in joining their ranks. Generally speaking their ranks were formed by former Jedi who had been captured, subjugated and brought to the Dark Side. But this person had sought them out, a decently rare happenstance, and Vaylin; the acting Elder at the time was curious.
So she had departed to meet the mysterious person, finding it to be a Echani, adorned in cybernetics. Known formerly as Alana Celestia, but now as Darth Malevolum.
Already a Sith Lord in her own right, Vaylin wanted to test Malevolum herself, test her potential worth to the Valkyries. The duel hadn't been anything intense, poking at the Echani's defences, test her offensive and probing for information that could slip out in the heat of battle. All were essential for a prospective Valkyrie, would mean their success or failure when it came to their Trials.
Vaylin was content with what she found, and had welcomed her into the ranks of the Sith Valkyries, and made it clear while she wouldn't start as a Noviciate, she was not a Valkyrie yet.
Once on Mygeeto, Vaylin saw her settled into their Fortress. Only for days later, to get uprooted from the comfort and thrown out into the cold. Her Trial of Survival had begun. Nothing but a backpack of basic supplies, the Echani's mission was to venture out into the snowy, stormy plains of Mygeeto, collect an item and return to the Fortress. It was a test of endurance, whether the would-be Valkyrie could survive the severe weather, via physical defence and prowess in the Force. Not even the cybernetics would uphold forever, as their internals started freezing. There was no time limit, the test could take days, weeks, even a month. If you didn't return, then you had clearly failed and weren't ready to be a Valkyrie. But if you returned successful? You passed, and were ready for the second and final part.
After a period of recovery that is. The Valkyries weren't cruel, and allowed the prospective Valkyrie to mend their injuries before continuing. It would've been pointless to take them to the brink, only to let fatigue be the death of them. You have to be at your fullest strength when delving into the Netherworld.
Unfortunately, Malevolum's Netherworld Trial never happened at it's original date. The NIO had begun there siege plunging Mygeeto into turmoil, with the Valkyries kept on hold until they were needed. And with everything that had happened with the Valkyries since, and Vaylin's own personal matters, finding a new date and time for the Trial had slipped her mind.
Vaylin was in one of the training rooms, adorned in her usual garb whenever she was training. Hair tied up into a single ponytail. A tank top; her traditional bandage bindings beneath. A pair of shorts, hands taped up and nothing on her feet.
She had been fighting against a set of three faceless drones, each equipped with a quarterstaff, and standing at a different height to one another. Two of them were already beaten down, sparking on the ground. The third took a swing at Vaylin's head, but the Zabrak ducked beneath it, swinging around as she brought her leg up and slammed it against the back of the droid's head.
It went crashing into a heap along the floor, skidding along until it finally stopped just before the door, as it was opened from the other side...
