[Lord Eclipsion]

" I hate backwaters. " Lord Eclipsion mumbled to herself, as she walked through the grimy and dirty streets of some random city. She often went on trips around the galaxy, not even bothering to learn whether the planet she was on was civilized or not. It was something that relieved the stress from her constant manipulation and subterfuge that was her trademark.

The Chiss didn't even know the name of the planet, as she just jumped through hyperspace and chose the nearest planet. As she ducked into a dark and dank alleyway, she stepped into a puddle, sending a small spiral of dirty water into the air. Eclipsion frowned, but turned and continued on her trek.

Not far from where the chiss had exited her ship was the marketplace. Many a vendor did sell their goods to any who they could, yet most of what they sold seemed as dirty as the city itself. Nothing but a smoggy cesepool that riddled with crime at eveyr corner you could turn. From high and low it could be told, yet for those who lived there it was a simple living. But there was one who did not live there, she survived there.

At one stand where furits were being sold, the cendor had his back turned as he tried to sell off a few good peices to a customer. The rodian gave his pitch while not seeing a small hand reach up and snagg a few of the less fresh furits being stolen. By the time he turned he could see the hand ducking under, thus calling for whoever it was connected to to stop. The form of a girl ran away into the cloest alleyway, kocking down a few garbage containers and a discarded gonk droid in the process.

Feeling she was safe Morinth, wearing nothing but dirty rags, ate the furit. It tasted horrible yet she didn't care. She'd had far worse and managed to scrouge up far better. Anythign that was food was enough for her at this point, even wiping her mouth clean with the collar of the stained shirt she wore. Barefoot and and dirty she tossed away what was left of the first peice before moving to the second. A few small rat-like aliens scuttered out and tried to steal her other fruit, making her shoo them away before one tried to make off with it. With a quick flick of her wrist the rat was hoisted into the air by the force and broken by the neck, the others running off at the sight.

When her meal was finished Morinth felt something off coming nearby. Some sort of presence she'd not felt before. Familiar yet unique and new. She followed this odd sensation before finding the chiss woman walking nearby. Not knowing anything of the force she assumed this was some odd sign from above for her to try and steal what she could from thsi woman, given how rich she seemed. Then she soptted what looked like some sort of expensive peice of equipment (her lightsaber) and firued it would make for a good sell for money.

Using her force abilites she reached out, trying to swipe it off her belt and run once it was in her hand.

[Lord Eclipsion]

(No problem, some people write entire pages for one post!)

As Lord Eclipsion walked through the alley, she felt a light tug on her belt. Frowning, she craned her neck downwards and saw her lightsaber vibrating, and slowly moving away from her waist. The Sith Lord turned and saw [member="Morinth"], and noticed some mutated rats scuttling away from her. " You do know that it's not wise to steal from a Sith. " Eclipsion politely told the Dathomirian, as suddenly, the lightsaber flew into the air, and turned on. The violet blade heated the air, causing one of the rats to hide in an overturned trash can. " What you're using Is called the Force, young one. "

Morinth wasn't sure what had suprised her more. This woman somehow sense her, the odd sense of power she felt from her, how she used the words "sith" and "force" yet Morinth barley knew that they meant. Perhaps it was seeing the lightsaber glow, now seeing what it was. She'd heard stories of the Jedi and how they used these weapons to fight, yet this woman harldey seemed the heroic Jedi type. She'd never heard of the Sith before.

Trying not to let the woman sway her by words Morinth used the force again, trying to bring the blade to her so she could use it to scare off the chiss. No one would make her back down from a fight, not after she's suffered as she did.

The lightsaber in the air moved toward [member="Morinth"] with a greater speed, and the Sith Lord who seemed to be fascinated by the girl, allowed her to carry the blade to her. The Chiss crouched down next to the girl, sensing the aura that came from her.

" Very good, young one. You do seem to have some potential in the force. You know, if you allow me to train you and to help you hone your abilities, I can give you a home, food and water, and the things that one needs to survive! " Eclipsion didn't know for sure if she was homeless, but it was obvious that she was in some bad situation, and the Knight used this to her advantage.

Once the blade was in her hand Morinth was quiet for a moment. She looked at the glowing blade with something of a sense of awe. Something simple and yet elegant. There was a air of power to holding this device in her hand.

Reality snapped back to her once the chiss woman offered her training. At first Morinth wasn't convinved, thinking this women only wanted to woo her into a falsety before harming her or taking her weapon back. This made Morinth point the blade at her, both hands on the hilt. She held it there as the woman now offered food and shelter. She still wasn't convinced. Yet a part of her couldn't help but feel something was different. She didn't know what to do. What if this woman spoke the truth? Would she actually let her have a home?

Morinth still kept the blade point and her blue eyes were locked on the chiss' red orbs.

Lord Eclipsion smirked as [member="Morinth"] tilted the blade toward her face, the edge just inches from the tip of her nose. " That's smart, always have to be suspicious of others. But I really am sincere young one, as the Sith will offer you shelter, and a real place to call home. " The Chiss used her skills in public speaking to make her words sound true and genuine, and she really did mean them. The Lord watched as the girl looked at the lightsaber with awe and amazement, as it truly was an amazing spectacle. " There, you will get a lightsaber, " She told her, gesturing at the blade, " Just to yourself! "

 

[Morinth]

There was something in this woman's words that swayed Morinth. Perhaps part of the Sith's abilites was having control over the minds of other. If it were so then Morinth wanted that. She wanted to make others bend to her will with a mere thought. And to hold a lightsaber of her own would be equally powerful. The idea made the young girl look back to the sith woman. If this chiss did indeed mean what she said then Morinth would take it in a heartbeat. All she had to do was give back the weapon.

Her eyes darted back between the saber and the chiss, Morinth's finger slowley leaving the button and making the blade disseaper. With that she heistently handed back [member="Lord Eclipsion"] her lightsaber but stood cautious and ready to run or defend herself if need be.

 

[Lord Eclipsion]

Eclipsion's smile grew wider, as she gently took the lightsaber and clipped it back on her belt. The Chiss extended her hand, gesturing for [member="Morinth"] to take it. " Come, young one. I have much to show you. " She stood up, and began walking out of the alley.

(Sorry for the short post, but here's when you can say your line, then we can start training!)

 

[Morinth]

Morinth flinched only a little before the woman offered her hand. At first she looked at it oddly, not expecting something liek this from someone, and how could she after the life she lead. But the sense of trust was slowley former on this woman as well as the want for food that came with her offer. Slowley Morinth took her hand and walked out. When the woman finished Morinth felt the need to say something to her, yet not fully feeling her voice work at first given that she'd not spoken in the longest time. She started slowley at first, working in 'y...y..." before it finally came out, the words she would repeat once she was offically inducted into the Sith.

"...yes.....master."
