Located on the planet of Marna rest the palace of Mar, the stairway magnificent and offers no safety to those fleeing from the palace. The planet having an unusually cold feel, despite the locals wearing very revealing clothing around the area and what was more strange, is the lack of guards around the palace, or what seemed like a lack of guards.

Once at the large metallic doors of the palace, a small man with a high pitch voice would inquire upon your reasoning for coming by the palace and once understanding of the reasoning, would allow you through. It wouldn't take long to enter a small thrown room, having one giant thrown in the middle which was melded into the palace itself and a smaller, very obvious rush job, chair to its side.

In the middle sat Darth Carolus, by his side sat [member="Egil"] and with a soft not, the masked King would await from Tiali Orazio to speak.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Step after step He looks up the long pathway really not impressed with the large gradient "karking hell, I hope walking up this is worth it."


After walking up the long pathway already partially tired from carrying Vitani Amani on his shoulder, he approaches the large metallic doors looking the small man "I'm here with something for your king am I allowed entry?"


[member="Darth Carolus"] [member="Vitani Amani"]

 

[Darth Carolus]

The man looks from the small peephole and notices the young lady before speaking back to [member="Tiali Orazio"].

"Very well!"

Almost immediately the doors would open.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

"Thank you kind sir."

He enters the large room looking around the place, Many thoughts cross his mind of what to say but he keeps quiet.
Tiali shakes Vitani attempting to wake her from her unconscious form, "Hey, wake up it's your new home."

Approaching the center of the room he looks to the child and then Carolus "Hello my lord and little lord I bring you someone you may be interested in trading for." He places the girl on the ground awake or not "Ta Da." he says sternly spreading his arms apart.

[Vitani Amani]

Vitani woke up and squinted while her eyes adjusted to the brightness. The first thing she saw was the familiar face of the person she had battled back on Drunkenwell. She doubted they were on Drunkenwell now. How long had it been?

The Padawan didn't have the weapons, energy or freedom to fight back and just staggered to her feet, her arm, shoulder and head still hurting in the aftermath of the fight.

"New home? I'm not-" she put a hand to her head, the throbbing pain had yet to subside. "I'm not living here. I live with the Jedi."

[member="Tiali Orazio"] [member="Darth Carolus"]

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord would rise from his chair, his attire the usual dark cloak over his body but could easily be explained to keep him warm due to the planets unnatural coldness. The metallic mask upon his face hid everything but his right eye, taking a couple steps forward before speaking aloud.

"At first I thought you were offering me but a wounded child, but she is a Jedi!"

Carolus would shake his head a moment before snapping his fingers, immediately [member="Egil"] would jump from his seat and run to his masters side, a saber hilt on his hip.

"You see, I have a child as well and he is a Sith."

Raising his hands, he would clap and the slam of the door closing would echo the throne room, the room would go silent a moment before the King clears his throat.

"What do you want for the child?"

Carolus directed the question at [member="Tiali Orazio"] as he continued to stare towards [member="Vitani Amani"], the lord continued to concentrate most of his focus upon 'the art of the small' making sure his presence within the force remained minuscule.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali walks to the left and right slowly as if he was thinking he scratches his chin "Hmmm... I was thinking 500 000 creds?"

He stops moving left to right and looks to the sith lord his hand still on his chin "What do you think?." He knows the price is probably going to be lowered because of the injuries but he doesn't care he just wants the money.

[member="Darth Carolus"] [member="Vitani Amani"]

 

[Vitani Amani]

Vitani glared at [member="Tiali Orazio"] coldly and moved her eyes from him onto [member="Darth Carolus"]. She looked between the two before frowning in confusion. "Sell me? Offering? 500,000 credits?" she said, bewildered.

"What's this for?" she asked quietly.

[member="Tiali Orazio"] [member="Darth Carolus"]

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord would cross his arms a moment, simply staring into [member="Tiali Orazio"] before clearing his throat to speak.

"Counter-offer. Two hundred thousand credits and I will allow you to leave alive, where we may conduct business at a later date."

Carolus's gaze turns towards [member="Vitani Amani"].

"What is your name child?"

Egil would remain silent, simply staring at the pair as he stood still.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Bitting his lower lip "Yeah that's good about the life thing and all, but I think at least 250 000Cr and hey? You do that i'll Like doing business with you, it'll be easier to call me on demand in the future how about that?" His tone serious he wants to juice out as much as he can out of this deal.

[member="Darth Carolus"]

 

[Vitani Amani]

Vitani stepped away from [member="Darth Carolus"], clearly nervous. "Vitani." she said quietly, her eyes skimming over [member="Egil"] stood by the man. The Sith must be desperate if they were turning children to the dark side.

"Please just let me go." she said, fear evident in her voice for the first time.

[member="Tiali Orazio"]

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord raised both his hands as [member="Tiali Orazio"] replied, in a happy gesture.

"Deal, now drag her up here!"

Carolus's tone firm as he turns on his heel and returns to his throne but stands, instead of sits. Turning back to face [member="Vitani Amani"].

"Vitani, this young man is Egil and I am your master, refer to me as such."

The king would emit a soft chuckle.

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali smiles happily "Pleasure doing business with you."

He Approaches Vitani grabbing her by the shoulder to forcefully pull her closer to Carolus as directed "Come on." he says sternly.

[member="Darth Carolus"] [member="Vitani Amani"]

 

[Vitani Amani]

Vitani struggled to get [member="Tiali Orazio"] off of her and was being as stubborn as she possibly could. She glared at [member="Darth Carolus"] and spoke arrogantly. "I will do no such thing."

The Padawan wouldn't go along with such ease, it would seem.

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord would remain still a moment, it was unclear his thoughts but he didn't remain silent long.

"Do you wish to die in vain? You are in no state to decline anything, the young prince could destroy you as you are."

Carolus would look towards Egil, the child taken to his chair once more, before looking back towards [member="Vitani Amani"].

"You will remain here, be it willingly or forcefully, make your choice."

Immediately after he would click his fingers, two men donned in metallic armour would enter the throne room. One large, holding a glaive, the other smaller who has a pack in his arms.

"Oh and, hunter, if you wish to stay do so. You are welcome at the palace, the man at the door will give you your money if you wish to leave."

 

[Vitani Amani]

"Kill me and you become a quarter of a million credits poorer, and for what?" she said, pulling at the rope around her wrists.

"I'm not afraid of dying, especially not at the hand of a child." she said angrily.

The fear that was once there had been replaced by stubbornness and anger, now she was aware of what was going on.

[member="Darth Carolus"] [member="Tiali Orazio"]

 

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali let's go of Vitani "Good bye my lord and young lord. I have other business to intend to but keep in contact with me." he gives a light nod and begins to slowly yet calmly walk out of the building to collect his money.

Once reaching the door he collects his money and leaves.


[member="Darth Carolus"] [member="Vitani Amani"] [member="Egil"]

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord lets out a deep throat grumble before emitting a soft shout, which seemed to be clearing his throat before addressing [member="Vitani Amani"].

"You have made your choice."

Carolus would stare directly upon her, his corrupted eye piercing through her almost and in an instant dropping his concentration upon hiding his presence, the feeling of his strength within the dark side would feel like a wave hitting over the padawan.

"YOU WILL ALLOW MY GUARD TO COLLAR YOU!"

The king would bellow loudly, manipulating the force to assist him in using mind tricks as the smaller guard would pull out a metallic shock collar and begin to move in close to her, going to attempt to place it around her neck as the larger guard stands by, ready to defend his comrade.

 

[Vitani Amani]

Vitani cowered like the scared child she was and began backing away from the guards, though keeping her eyes on [member="Darth Carolus"]'s eyes. The dark side was unmistakably there, and it was terrifying, but the power was tempting. As much as she didn't want to accept that it was there with all its corruptive powers, she knew it, could sense it.

The fear in her eyes only grew as the guards approached. She kicked the guard closest to her, out of anger rather than a desire to harm him. She knew there was no point trying to resist as the collar was put on.

 

[Darth Carolus]

The lord growled deeply as [member="Vitani Amani"] fought against the guard, but ultimately the collar was put upon her and within a moment, he pressed down upon the button at his hip and electricity would run through the child's body.

"Now accept your fate, savor the pain and give into the hate you give to me, for combined with my training you shall become powerful."
