Life of a Sith

[Nikolas Faselli]

| -Panatha- |

Lilith, trying to adventure around the galaxy to find new interesting planets, now stood on an Outer Rim planet known as Panatha. She didn't know it was the home of Ephicantix, because all people seemed very human-like. Being on the planet for the first time, she wasn't sure about what to do. It was a really unknown planet for her.

She was there to meet a former Sith Emperor, now a member of One Sith, @[member="Darth Vornskr"], also known as Kaine Zambrano, to become a full member of the new Sith faction. She stood there near a castle which may have belonged to him, but she didn't know whether to knock on the door or something... or just stay there, waiting for something to happen.

It would've been awkward if the residence would've belonged to someone else.

(OOC: Sorry for the short post...)

A flock of winged Vanr guards approached Lancaster from one of the battlements, a vibro-axe firmly held in each hands. The leader, a Vanr wearing a suit of golden armor, pointed his axe at the newcomer and spoke in a booming voice, "The God-King has forseen your arrival, Lady Lancaster, and we are to escort you to his throne chamber. Relinquish your weapons, and we will take you to his eminence." Once the weapons were handed over, they would escort Lilith to the castle gates, and into the castle proper. Along the way Lilith would come across many obscenities taking place throughout the castle, along with various military-esque training going on throughout the courtyards.

Once at the throne room, Lilith was pushed inside to find an expansive room with open balconies on each side, and the throne on an elevated platform at the very end. Encircling the throne was a large plush resting area where a multitude of harlots and whores rested idly beside their lord and master, whom sat upon the black throne with an air of absolute authority surrounding him. Perhaps that was how he made the Vanr uneasy as they approached and knelt before him, "We have brought her to you, just as you have commanded, my liege." The God-King's face cracked into a smile as he waved a dismissive hand to relieve the guards of their task, "Leave us, and come forth Lady Lancaster. It has been a long time since we last met..."

Everything seemed so... strange. As the guards of Kaine came to bring Lilith to the castle, she was already a bit bored and thought about just knocking on the door. Looks like she didn't have to, though. Handing her lightsabers Skygge and Mourning Star to them, and just to be sure, her wooden staff Skygge, she thought about what could wait her inside the building? Maybe there were beautiful paintings, sculptures? Or maybe it was filled with sarcophagi?

Following the group of these strange winged people, she was a bit disappointed. She had expected something different from the castle of the famous former Sith Emperor Kaine Zambrano. Oh well... she thought.

The throne room was even stranger, but she had to accept it. After all, it was not her residence. After bowing to the Sith Master, she replied: "Indeed, it has been a long time..."

Kaine rose from his throne and descended the steps to stand before Lilith. He was dressed in a regal garb of fine red and black silk robes, his hands ungloved revealing his normal right hand, and the spiny unnatural Vong left hand. His hair was slicked back and gleamed in the sunlight radiating from the open balconies, and a onyx crown sat snugly atop his head. The crown featured a tri-horn design, with a pristine crimson gem at the base of each horn. He truly looked like a ruler, and he smelled of fine wine to boot.

"Ah, but where are my manners? Do you desire food, drink, anything to please such a glamorous guest of my passionate house?" He said with a chuckle as he gently led Lilith to one of the balconies overlooking the beautiful blue sea and the expansive shoreline of the peninsula where the castle had been built upon. "Has your training improved since we last met? Has your mind soared?"

Lilith was surprised by the strange hand the king of this place had. The last time they met, Lilith hadn't seen anything like that. She had been either too confused and... shocked the last time that she hadn't noticed it or the Sith Master had worn a glove to hide it. Most likely it was the second option though. The crown lord Zambrano wore now was beautiful... Lilith liked it.

"Ah, but where are my manners? Do you desire food, drink, anything to please such a glamorous guest of my passionate house?"

The question made Lilith smile and blush a bit. "It's not that important, my lord... But I would be pleased by that opportunity." As they walked to the balcony and Lilith enjoyed the beauty that she just saw, came another question from the Sith Master, which Lilith had known will come.

"I believe I have become better. I believe the last time we met, I was still an Apprentice. Now that I'm a Sith Knight, I think I am a bit stronger."

"Ah, yes... I sense the growing power within you, child. A darkness that has taken root in your core to taint your body from the inside out, and that pleases me greatly. Ah, but that is not why you have come to me, my child. You have come to this land of darkness to seek enlightenment in a galaxy plagued by disordered fools and heretics, and you have been deemed worthy to join us." He smiled and gave a small chuckle as he slowly circled Lilith, and placed both hands firmly on her shoulders from behind as the sun began to set on the horizon, casting colorful shadows across the land. "I must warn you, child. Once you have dived into the darkness, there is no coming back... You must be willing in body, mind, and soul to the will of the darkness that envelopes you. Should you agree, then we will begin..." He didn't reveal to her what would happen if she didn't agree, but she could probably guess what would happen.

Lilith didn't understand much about the planet's ruler's speech, but she tried to. By so far, she had heard only about a few Sith sects, the Sith Empire, and Sorcerers of Tund, whose teachings had been taken over by the Council of Sorcery. Considering the fact, that the Darth spoke about darkness, she assumed he is talking about Sith or something similar. "I believe I am ready to take the risk. My mind tells me, that darkness is all; my body is covered with the power of the Dark Side of the Force, and my soul is as corrupted as every Sith's soul should be." The nature she still looked at was amazing. She hadn't expected anything like that from the planet when she was still traveling to this land with her ship.

"Then kneel before me, Lancaster. I shall anoint you as a member of our order, and I will gleam to you the knowledge of our purpose." He said with a voice that darkened with each word until it was an unnatural baritone rumble, even the lights began to dim as the horizon melted away into night. Once she had knelt, he would place his index finger upon her forehead, and from there he would gift her the knowledge of the One Sith. The horrible, yet blissful vision of the Dark Lord on Prakith, and the true darkness he wielded that dwarfed even Kaine's power a hundred fold. She would see the vision of the One Sith, and what they planned to achieve. Then from his finger lightning would begin to envelope her in sweet painful ecstasy, consolidation around her left bicep as the Dark Mark of the Order burned itself into her flesh.

"Lilith Mae Lancaster, I hereby anoint you a member of the One True Sith, and giveth onto you the Mark of our sacred Lord. You will hereby forsake all previous vows to heretics and infidels who blaspheme the vision of the Dark Lord, and pledge your life to his vision. You too forsake your mortal name, and take up a true name worthy of your new found purpose. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth Malificete. Welcome sister Malificete, into the Order of the One Sith."

Lilith, after listening to the Master, knelt before him, ready for whatever will happen. Once when he had placed his finger on the forehead of Lilith, she started seeing visions of the Dark Lord of the Sith... It was mystical, it was powerful. It was the One Sith... something Lilith felt is darker than the Sith Empire was, something which is more organized, something which is secretive. At the same time, it was terrible, scary, frightening. The burning she felt on her left biceps was unbelievably painful. The Dark Mark all members of the One Sith had to have burned into her skin, forming the beginning of it with a small circle and some tiny signs around it. They were actually Sith Language letters, meaning something like Malificete. Lilith wasn't sure, though. She didn't know much about this language.

"Thank you!" Malificete spoke after the speech of Darth Vornskr. From now on, Lilith Mae Lancaster was no more. There was only Darth Malificete.

"Rise, Malificete. Your new life begins here, and your old life no longer holds any meaning. You would do best to sever all ties to your former life, the Dark Lord does not appreciate unneeded distractions... Although should such former individuals prove useful to the One Sith, then make them your allies, minions, pawns, however you shall call it. I give you permission to stay within my castle for the time being, and you will be welcomed back should you require my aid." He turned and began to walk back to his throne, ascending the steps slowly before relaxing back onto the black iron metal throne. "What do you plan to do now that the Dark Lord has redefined your purpose?" Kaine asked slowly, crossing his right leg over his left as he did.

"I'm honoured by such opportunity," Lilith spoke after listening to the Master. As they walked, she thought about what she should do now? Now that her whole life got a new meaning, now when she was supposed to abandon everything and everybody or make them her minions... the latter one looked like a better option. All the Zahati'i were to be useful tools at reaching her goals.

"I'm... not sure, but I will definitely start serving the Dark Lord as well as possible. I feel like I will have to fight against the Light." It felt like the right thing. She already had the Council of Sorcery, which fought against all other factions. It wouldn't have been too difficult to undermine the Republic and all Light factions, either.

"The light is our enemy, Malificete. It blinds those who follow it from the truth the Darkness holds within it's inky depths, and only those who possess the fortitude and will to dive down into that darkness can realize the true nature of the galaxy. The Dark Lord is the true manifestation of the Darkness, and he is our shepherd through the blinding light to the paradise of eternal night. We are not just loyal to his will, but loyal to the vision created by our forefather, Darth Krayt, many centuries ago." Kaine said in a rapturous voice, one that was so charismatic and soothing that it just had to be the truth he was telling. "Someday you will be graced with his presence, as I have... And you will know the true nature of the Force in absolute certainty. Now go, Malificete, and undo the idiocy the Light has imposed upon this existence."

After listening to the speech of Kaine, Lilith bowed and replied: "I am thankful, my Master Vornskr!" She didn't know how to respond to such things yet, so she thought being humble can help her, even though she still remembered from the last time they met, that a Sith shouldn't be shy or humble at all. Turning away from him, Lilith started walking towards the exit of the room, her mind full of thoughts. Her fate had just changed. There was no destiny anymore, only the choices LIlith and people around her decided to make. The feeling was both powerful and frightening at the same time.
