Out With the Old, In With the New (Darth Erebos)

[Ax'no]

​

Location: Sith Academy of Glee Anselm ​

Now that Darth Ax’no was a Sith Knight and rising through the ranks as an Inquisitor, she sought out a different Master to teach her a more offensive lightsaber technique. The Caprine knew the basics of Soresu, but not the sweeping Shii-Cho or the quick jabbing of Makashi. Her first taste of battle was on the desolate and smoky landscape of Togoria, watching ships fall from the sky and soldiers jump into trenches at the sight of the Sith onslaught. The entire experience from using Odojinya to sweating in her infantry armor had won her over physically and emotionally. And now she longed to fight side by side with her fellow purveyors of the darkside.

But her last Master, Darth Prazutis, the Director of Intelligence, treated her like a child and a slave. And she felt his hold on her was so tight, and that like an oversized muja fruit tree in a too-small pot, her growth was stunted, the roots turning in on themselves, strangling her. She needed a Sith Lord who would not inquire into her personal life, who wouldn’t pry into what he perceived as her weakness. Bottom line: who would not ask her intrusive questions about her allies and lovers. The Priestess was unorthodox at times, but there was a method to her madness and the passion she had for carnal pursuits helped to feed her lust for sorcery and battle.

It was all connected – something he had failed to see, much less appreciate.

She sought out Darth Erebos, another Dark Councilor. The half-Miralukan, half-Sephi Sith Lord who was an expert in Shii-cho and Shien, and his Dun Moch was rumored to be unparalleled. Traveling to the underwater Academy was an experience akin to the descending into he subterranean caves of the Force Planet. Darth Ax’no had one brief bout of claustrophobia, especially knowing she wasn’t a good swimmer. But as she made her way through the grand and foreboding entrance, finding the scheduled training room, she thought about a rumored Sithspawn to be lurking around in the Academy, the Xilsaga, Daughter of Sorrow. The stories of this ghastly banshee like creature intrigued her so much that once the lesson was over, she was going to locate the spawn, if only to confirm the rumor.

Sitting on the floor of the Scheduled training room was Darth Erebos. Petting the female of the pair of Tuk'ata that followed him almost everywhere, the male moved around in a guarding manner, sniffing and snarling out a little every now and then. What others might look upon a weak and compassionate sith lord showing affection to his pet was something entirely different from Erebos's point of view. He was examining the Tuk'ata's body, the muscles bellow the thick leathery skin and the bones beneath that. He was intending to use a Tuk'ata as one of the creatures he'd use for the base of another sithspawn he had thought of making and wanted to be sure to have an almost instinctual knowledge of the Tuk'ata's body structure.

Around him though were four stones the size of an atlas ball, all were orbiting around Erebos as if he was a sun in the middle of a system. The male Tuk'ata, named Grarad, circled counter clockwise to the clockwise orbit of the stones. The female, named Dilsya, simply was content with the petting she was given almost purring in a growl like manner. When [member="Darth Ax'no"] would enter the room however she'd hear a loud and threatening growl from behind her as the third Tuk'ata and the much larger second male, named Khanath, would stand and come towards her with a loud growl and bared fangs. While Grarad and Dilsya were the size of greater Dane's Khanat was almost the size of a small horse or a nexu's size.

With a sharp click of Erebos's tongue caused Khanath to disengage and move back to flank the entrance to the room, a position Grarad did as well. Dilsya however moved from Erebos towards Ax'no and sniffed at her. The female Tuk'ata seemed to be much more protective of Erebos than the others but she rather moved around Ax'no and then rubbed her head against Ax'no's hip before moving to another side of the room and rolled the stones to build a slight nest it seemed were she went to sleep in the middle of. "I take it you are the inquisitor that asked for me to train you?" Erebos then said while standing up, his voice deep and distorted by his mask as he then crossed his arms over his chest.
