Echoes of water droplets falling onto the cold stone floor sounded from the entrance to the large, wide cave. There was a body of water on the edge, which lead to a tunnel out to the sea. This was the location's entrance. It was a hidden cave, its location currently only known to a selected few. It roomed the latest Sith Academy, built on the watery planet of Glee Anselm. Tanek had been spending a lot of time here recently. After the invasion of the planet, he had been hard at work, ensuring a smooth transition to a pro-Sith government, overseeing the construction the Academy in addition to ensuring that any opposition, as well as the Anselmi rebellion was crushed. The underwater Academy was nearing its finish, there were only minor details and formalities left. It was not yet open to the many Acolytes that would eventually take up residence there, and begin their journey to become Sith. Only one had been invited. Only [member=Greta Kohler].
Deeper within, the walls had been carved out. Up on both sides, holes had been made, big enough to house quarters to for an Acolyte each. The quarters for the masters, trainers and potential guests were on the other side. These were significantly larger. In total, Tanek would guess the place could house about hundred people, maybe more. Carved out of the very back of the cave, moving towards the middle, stood the Academy itself. It was fashioned in traditional Sith architecture, in a pyramid-like shape. Traces of the same style as the Academy on Korriban could be spotted by the trained eye.
The eerie silence, combined with the dimmed artificial lights that illuminated the cave gave the entire place a gloomy feel. The Dark Side had struck root here, having been awakened after the massacre that had taken place. This was where the main Nautolan dissidents and refugees had been hold up. None had escaped. That was how Tanek first had come upon the location.
There would be no welcome party for the blonde Acolyte, no guide to take her inside. All that met her was the silence, and the presence of the Dark Side. She'd have to find her own way. Tanek's own dark presence would be seeping from the Academy. If she picked up on his scent, she could follow it into a large training room, where the Togruta Knight would be seated in meditation, awaiting her arrival. Not surprisingly, he was dressed in dark Sith robes. They were different from the pair he normally wore, almost as if to make a point that he did not always wear the exact same thing. The outfit looked less standard and mass-produced, and seemed slightly more fancy. The top was made out of a fine fabric, and fit his muscular torso well, as did his black pants, though they were slightly more loose in order to offer room for mobility. All of it matched the current Sith fashion.
Greta was one of those up and coming Acolytes who would soon be knocking on the door of Knighthood. It was not a matter of if, only when. The invitation to the Academy had been issued in the form of a playful challenge, one he suspected she would accept. She had caught his eye, and was someone he'd like to get better acquainted with. They had met on a few occasions, but never really had any time alone. The looks they had exchanged had left him wanting more. What better way to get to know someone, than to fight them? He was sure she would be able to turn up the heat in the dark cave.
Around the edges of the training room, as well as by the entrance, there were many weapons to pick from. There was everything from quarterstaffs made out of a hard wood, to training sabers that would do little more than burn and numb the targeted area. Going at it unarmed was always an option, as was of course using their lightsabers. What would be her preferred weapon? Ladies choice.
