Once More with Feeling (Need Master)

Azlyn looked at her master with the saber and was watching it like the blade was a guilding light. Her pupils dilating a little while she smiled and nodded her head a little to fast but it was worth it. Her saber worked, her master was pleased or at least not angry and she ran hands along the length of her space suit for a moment as she spoke. "Thank you master, what would you have me do next?"

Crystal chuckled. "Well, your blade needs a proper christening. And I know just the shit hole..."

She slid into the pilot's chair and punched in the coordinates for Tatooine. A dusty shit hole. Full of scum. Raze it to the core....

After inputting the coordinates on the navi computer, she got up from the seat. "There. Get us moving and go and practice until we arrive."

Azlyn looked at her master and gave a nod of her head to that. The blade deactivating for the moment as she slid it onto her belt taking a moment as she was working on the controls to get them onto the autopilot. The ship was heading towards the planet as she went to start practicing with her saber. The snap hiss of the blade as it activated and Azlyn was moving with a training remote to practice deflecting shots into the wall.

When the ship touched down on the dusty planet, Crystal sighed. She did not enjoy the previous trips to the planet, but it hadn't killed her. Yet.

She poked her head into the room that Azlyn had been training in and announced their arrival. "We're here. Are you ready to go?"

She held the blade in a loose grip to make moving it easier and was working with the remote. Her energies with the force wrapping around her muscles to guide her movements with the shots and deflect them back at the remote while her energies within the force danced slowly. The atrisian could even feel her hair rising off the back of her neck with a small smile tugging at her lips. She stopped hearing her master and turned her head as one hand shifted to deflect with a little coy thoughts of her own skill improving. "I am ready my master."

"Excellent," the Sith Master replied before turning to the hatch of the ship. She put up the hood of her cloak and opened the hatch of the ship. With her apprentice she stepped out of the ship and headed down the ramp.

Azlyn rolled her shoulders and shielded her eyes while she came out of the hatch and stood in her bodysuit with a look around. A desolate desert that meant she was going to get sand everywhere while she stretched and slid the saber onto her waist. A smile on her face before she was moving to match her master speaking with her hands running through her hair. "This place is..... I don't know something clever."

 

[Crystal]

[member="Azlyn Ike"]

Crystal laughed, genuinely. "This place is a shit hole. No clever way to say that." And she chuckled. "Let's go kill something."

 

[Azlyn Ike]

[member="Crystal"]

Well at least as Azlyn looked at her master she didn't have to think to much on something. Her master disliked it here just as much and killing something would be god, they could do that and maybe get off the planet before getting sand stuck in places that would be uncomfortable. "Yes my master." The zeltron was looking around and touched her saber as she tried expanding her senses but wasn't getting anything. "Do you have a preference? The sand people rarely complain or are a problem when killed or the jawas."

 

[Crystal]

Crystal chuckled. "It hardly matters. Let us see what we encounter first."

She didn't sense any other familiar presences, or powerful ones at the moment. So they'd have to settle for the small beings and crush them like insects.

Azlyn nodded her head to that, her master knew what she was doing and the girl had been following her for this long... might as well go all the way through this hellhole as well as she was walking and feeling with her senses. She stayed close but not to close to her master mostly for the cliche of the line and unity, people just looked cooler when they walked together instead of single file... Holomovies had even closed with that scene. "Yes my master."

Crystal was not bothered by Azlyn's choice of positioning. Though she may consider herself a servant of Crystal, it wasn't actually the case. Crystal had had many servants in her life time, and they were not as fortunate as her apprentices when it came to her expectations. Though she could not force them to learn, she invested in their success. Her methods might not be the same, or as effective as Sith of old, but she was still a person, and she had brought children into the world. Her father had not been cruel, but his methods were effective.

She was looking out upon the desert with her master while almost smiling now. She could actually feel something from her master, no doubt proximity and she was getting more familiar with her moods. Her subtle instances of kindness mixed with lessons and what might qualify as affection.... Well in the broadest term before she spoke. "My master may I asked what we would do should the crusade falter?"

Crystal laughed. "Then we find a new purpose. It is not the first time I've changed courses in my four hundred years in the galaxy." Things change. The galaxy changed constantly. And, people's motivations changed, which was the major factor in most galactic changes.

 

[Azlyn Ike]

[member="Crystal"]

Azlyn wondered what kind of course they might find. She had changed as well but within a few years not centuries like her master as she stood there at her side. "Then I shall find purpose in serving you until the moment comes." She was looking out across the desert and well the crusade was different then the other sith orders in how it operated. The old rule of two thrown out for their gods and the Indulgent from what she saw was more about the enjoyment and hedonism then the killing of each other.

 

[Crystal]

[member="Azlyn Ike"]

Crystal had never followed the rule of two. In fact, she usually had several students at a time. Their progress determined their learning path. Of course some did better than others, which was fine with her. She knew which of them really wanted to learn by their efforts. She had also been indulgent, since she had the means to do so, but not always in the ways that one would think. She still had her kryptonite of sorts. Still, she did what she wanted and hadn't let anyone stop her yet.

Azlyn watched her and had her eyes on the horizons as they were going. Her hand coming out to show some caring. They had started this journey with her master teaching her how to manipulate and bring fear, now she was there with her master and the only thing she wanted to do was stay. An enjoyable time and maybe her notions as Azlyn thought about it of the sith just being death daily were wrong or maybe she was traveling around the galaxy and didn't get to see the apprentices trying and failing to fight others in a higher stations then them. "Come now master, enjoy this. We are not bound to a temple, we get to explore the galaxy and find more power then those who simply sit in their temples."

 

[Crystal]

[member="Azlyn Ike"]

Crystal genuinely laughed at her apprentice's comments. "I have never been bound to a temple, and I've seen more of the galaxy than you can imagine." She tilted her head. Interesting. She couldn't recall a time where Azlyn had asked her a personal question. And she couldn't remember what if anything she'd shared with the zeltron apprentice. "My father taught me powers and spells lost to many."

She was looking at her master when she mentioned that with a grin on her face while hearing about where her master had went. "Well hopefully I will be with you long enough to see as much master." Her hands though were now at her side and she was rather giddy as it were with some of the thoughts going through her head. Her master knew ancient magics lost to others... Maybe she'd be able to learn so much more then she had thought and that sith lite side from the crusade had her wanting to learn her masters power. "I hope I become worthy of your teachings master."

"It takes time. And time we have." Crystal replied. "First things first. A test for your new blade."
