Reserve of the Damned (Sitara)

[Sawa Ike]

[member="Sitara Qin"]

Location: Seltos

This was an intriguing world mostly as she observed standing there on the ship for its people. They were so perky and so full of life as she stood over the one. Her silver eyes glowing in the shadows while they reflected the light from the room. She felt energy rippling across her skin while she brought her mouth to the human. Glowing energy coming from his mouth as the energy pulled away. Drawing his in through her mouth as she placed her hands on his mouth.

Slowly there was gasping and his face was turning blue from lack of oxygen, he eventually buckled at the knees falling back onto the floor of the ship as she looked at him. Slowly her eyes stopped glowing and she pulled away standing tall in the black bodysuit as she slid her arms into the sleeves. She looked back into the large mirror as the black rose tattoo at the small of her back gleamed with the dark mark of the one sith that appeared along the length of her spine.

The marks were a sight to behold as she raised the suit up to her shoulders zipping it up as she listened to the sounds on the ship. The servants coming and taking the body away while her hands went to her hair slowly pulling it into a tight ponytail as she secured it with a strip of det cord. Her belt holding the detonator and going around her waist with the holdout hand cannon and her tri-stunner. Her dauntless blades on her back and the slithering of the hydrastaff.

Her enjoyment while she walked came and Sawa slowly crossed her arms over her chest as she stood on the ramp down to the planet. She had some ideas of the things they could do and had wanted to have a small group of sith sisters for this process. One or two but that weren't well known and able to move quickly and silently. The mines and game reserve here served a greater purpose of providing them sport as she thought about ways they could use it to hunt.

 

[Sitara Qin]

Ah, Seltos. Home of agriculture and ores.

Sitara’s laced up combat boots kicked through the muddy mess of pebbles and gravel that clung to the toes of her boots. She had arrived at the planet a few hours ago, she mostly kept to herself and snarled at the locals who tried selling her their poorly excavated materials. No thanks, guys. Whatever she wanted….Whatever she needed, she was going to dig that up herself.

Her boots tapped at the ground impatiently. The blue Seltian sky loomed over her, and from her line of vision she could see the ship cruising in. It was carrying a fellow sister, a sister she had never known before. That was the beauty of the covenant, it brought people together. All for the name of good and woman empowerment, right?

She chuckled. Sawa Ike was a familiar name, though there wasn’t much she knew about the woman. That was all going to change here. They were going to raid this planet of their natural resources. They probably wouldn’t take everything, but who’s to say they wouldn’t take more than enough. Sitara, however, never considered herself as greedy.

As the ramp lowered, a shapely figure emerged from the ship. Sitara walked up to the intimidating woman with a half-smirk on her face. “Greetings, sister.”

As she stood there for a moment she was looking upon another woman. A figure defined by her youth as the energy vampire stepped off the ramp feeling the give in the dirt and grass. It wasn't her necropolis but it would do for a place while she stepped forward again with a smile on her face. Tight lipped and reaching her eyes with barely any lines showing on her face while she walked forward with a swift movement. "Hello little sister." She said it with a silky smooth voice that was low, sultry and in her throat but resonated in the air and the force. She looked at Sitara with her eyes starring over her like she was food.

"Are you ready to begin." She was letting energy roll off of her as she looked out and to the side. Silvery eyes looking towards the game preserve and mines. "There is a planet full of food here my sweet and they have all that precious stone we can use for our benefit. I don't think it is fair." The smile now appeared on her face full blown for a moment while she was moving and letting her hands slip to her neck tracing a line across to go up and to her hair while she was walking. "But before we do that, we will have to be sure you know how to do a few things. Do you have your lightsaber?"

 

[Sitara Qin]

The older woman’s eyes reflected hunger. There was something eerie about the way she stared at the younger sith, Sitara could feel goosebumps trailing up her shoulders. Sitara knew better than to fear the sisters she worked with, she gave her a small nod as she asked her if she was ready to begin. Her blue-grey eyes stared into Sawa’s almost impossible silver ones. There was something…very different about the older woman.

She couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

“No, I don’t think it’s very fair.” She agreed, though she didn’t quite understand what food Sawa was talking about. She figured it was some form of jargon, not that she cared much for the way people really spoke. She was excited about working with someone though. It had been a while since she got her muscles moving. There was definitely an abundance for them to harvest.

She tapped on the unactivated lightsaber that was holstered on her hip. “Of course, dear sister.” She said, her head lowering to form a small bow. She never left home without it.

Sawa looked ahead while she was moving, the game preserve coming into view and there was a miner there. Her eyes falling on him while she was moving and locked her eyes on his. He stopped doing what he was doing with the datapad and stood there slightly dumbstruck for a moment, she brought her hands up as her equipment didn't show a constructed lightsaber. "Be in me." She said it as her hand came up extending two fingers out to point at his eyes, then she dragged them through the air leaving faint trails of energy almost while he followed them to her eyes. Slowly she moved more predatory slowly towards him.

Then she repeated it until she was close and brought her hand to him while she ran a finger along the length of his face until she was hovering just over his lips. Her eyes lit up blue while she didn't speak but he started moaning, her head moving back a little as the skin of the man went pale and his veins were more prominent. The blue force energy coming out of his mouth into hers while she waited there for just a moment pulling away when his knees buckled making him fall to the ground while she pulled her head away and looked down. His eyes were glazed over and blood running in crimson lines down his cheeks.

"Delicious." She said it while licking a her lower lip and squatting down to grab the datapad while she turned her head. The force energy rippling under her skin as it went under the skin while she laughed a little. "Looks like they are trying to mine a good amount to send to the protectorate and republic. To try and undermine us.... How adorable." Her hands danced over it while she looked up to Sitara and rose in a fluid like motion before walking as her body moved like a predator instead of a human. "Hopefully there will be someone more... tasty this one reeks of grease and sweets. I much prefer my food to be more exotic."

 

[Sitara Qin]

There…wasn’t really much that went into Sitara’s mind as she saw [member="Sawa Ike"] devouring another person’s essence. She had witnessed it all, and she felt the tiny little hairs on her arms rising. She backed away and let the older woman perform her little…food ritual. Was this cannibalistic? She kinda thought it was. It wasn’t that she was grossed out, everyone had their diet of choice and well…Sawa’s was just probably human souls. That was cool. No biggie.

She gave Sawa an awkward smile as the woman finished up her meal. That same smile quickly turned into a frown as the older woman told Sitara just what was going down. They were planning those things? Well, Sitara wouldn’t think twice about feeding miners to her friend when the time came. In fact, she could probably find some more right now to feed them to her.

It was all a matter of time, of course.

“Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll find you someone hot to eat.” She said, with a sweet smile. She fiddled with the ridges of her lightsaber. “Like you said, lotsa...food for you to find here.” Yup. Sawa could have her choice of whatever humanoid meat she preferred…Unless she wanted more exotic species. As for Sitara?

Well, she’d make do with a hamburger.

There was a look on her face as she looked to the younger girl and spoke. "You are so youthful, so pretty even. It is a shame one such as you was not alive when I was a girl... You could have been a queen with those looks. Well after marrying and killing the king." She had a smile while walking towards the trees and other things there while she cooed with the hydrastaff that uncoiled and came into her hand. All five heads hissing before they were heading towards the mines. She could hunt some of the things down there in the dark while she kicked one of the generators and touched a hand to the ground.

"There are plenty of miners in there, I can hear their heartbeats coming. We will have plenty to do and these game reserves are nicely isolated that we can use to our advantage." Though she did like the fear that would come from them just before their end as she was letting the staff coil back in her arm but mostly at the wrist. Sawa held her hand out as she spoke. "One of the first lessons then and do excuse me I do not teach often. The world is in a constant state of movement, each molecule vibrating and plenty. With the force you can see and feel it and slowly change it with enough focus to."

She was speaking and slowly the area above her hand sparked with a snap of her fingers. Flame jumping to hover just on the inside of her palm. "You can ignite the world or make a really enjoyable roast." She stood up and held her hand out letting a jet of flame fly forward as it went into the mine and there was a flash of a miner as the flame went on him. His screams coming out as she tilted her head standing with a small grin on her face. "In older times when we were learning things, were practicing we had the ability to practice on the lesser people in the cities. To a point, my sisters used to frown on such things."

 

[Sitara Qin]

Sawa was a vampire. It clicked together in her head, but Sitara didn’t know why she noticed that just now. The timeless beauty, the energy sucking, the talk about her past. Her first thought to that reaction was: ‘Oh, duh.’ instead of the stereotypical getting even more freaked out than she already was. As for her being a queen, she wouldn’t mind. If Xander Blackmore was still the royal pain-in-the-butt he was back then as he was today, she’d totally have married him and become a queen. But now, she didn’t really want to, though being called pretty was always a welcome complement. “Thanks. Pretty sure there are still kings around to kill, we just have to find the right one.”

She then mentioned the other miners. Sitara wasn’t much of a kill-for-sport person, though with [member="Sawa Ike"], she couldn’t really blame her. All of these miners were pretty much food for her anyways, and hey, at least their bodies served a purpose after death right? Besides, everyone needed to go sometime. There end was just becoming useless food bags for a powerful Sith lady. Sitara rubbed her hands together as she listened to Sawa explain.

The flame left the older woman’s hand and came tumbling onto a miner who was then set on fire. “We got prisoners to practice with back on the academy. It was fun, some of them were pretty wild.’ Who wouldn’t be when you were nothing more but a toy for some evil little suckers? Sitara chuckled. “Let’s go explore.”

Sawa looked at her and gave a nod of her head while looking down into the mine. Her senses sifting through the sounds and scent sin the mine as she walked down there slowly clapping her hands together lightly. The ones that had been burned were silent and still but she was hearing something as she continued to walk coming into the mine. She took one of the pieces of ore in her hands and held it letting her thumb run along the rough surface before she was sending it towards the corner of the wall and into the survivors face. The man yelped before falling down as she was moving and leaving her to gleam.

Her silvereyes were picking up the low light as she pushed her senses out and spoke with her voice coming out in that silky low voice. "Another trick is to see past the world, through the sounds and be able to track those through pat and shadow. The sounds of their hearts that increase as you approach, the quickening of their breathing before they are ready to pass out from freight." She kept a grin on her face while she was moving forward and listening for more miners. Withdrawing one of the dauntless blades as she tossed it at some of the cable lines and they sparked turning the lights off so they could approach the panicked miners.

 

[Sitara Qin]

If [member="Sawa Ike"] were an animal, it would’ve been some form of cat; the feral cat, Sitara was certain. The way this woman enjoyed stalking her prey like a predator in the darkness was definitely a feat to be admired. It was also a little creepy and perhaps kind of sinister. It didn’t matter, Sitara liked this girl’s style. Would she shift her own to be like her? Probably not. Yet, she didn’t mind lessons on how to spot her enemies in the dark.

As the lights flickered off, she could feel the heavy tension of panic sifting through the air. Sitara looked around, hoping to find the miners who acted as their prey. She could hear them speaking to one another, their voices slightly a higher pitch from the panic. A coy grin grew on her face as she moved, following the older Sith’s lead. She found one of them in the dark, isolated from his companions.

“Boo.”

A flicker of lightning would then be seen through the dark, only showcasing her playful mischievous eyes and the man’s frightened ones as he dropped to the floor, shocked.

Sawa kept at it, seeing the heartbeats of the miners but also the younger sith. She almost envied her for her youth but she also remembered she was human... a monkey maybe. Someone had said that once and she hadn't really believed it. Letting herself move quietly as she stalked one of them and snuck up behind placing her hand on his jaw to hold it closed. The iron like grip showing more strength in the lithe form then he expected before she was sucking the life force from him and leaving a few alive to try and run. She slowly retrieved the combat blade and slid it into her back sheath. The other weapons moving silently with her form.

She continued through the mines and was moving like a cat almost. Her hips swaying at an angle almost that showed muscles normal humans didn't have before she started to head down. There was another entrance she was looking to go through and get sealed or some of the ore while killing the light. One of the foremen had started to try and make a barricade as she looked at him with a smile on her face before he met her eyes. She didn't need to speak, she just needed o look at him from the shadows that were being cast and he was following her orders. Mental shields of these humans were weaker then she remembered.

The foremen slowly grabbed one of the pick axes and was going to town on his own crew. The sound of flesh tearing had the sith showing a tight lipped smile while she opened herself to feed on them and slowly pulled at them. Their heads leaning back and mouths opened as they gave a gasp with tendrils of force energy escaping to come to her. A harder skill to use but feeding from a distance and from several was a good way to survive when surrounded. She was looking at one of the mining carts full of ore they had gotten and slowly started adding to it her body pushing it along as she threw away some of the smaller pieces for larger ones.

 

[Sitara Qin]

Miners didn’t carry anything interesting on them, Sitara soon learned as she fiddled through the pockets of the now unconscious bodies. It wasn’t like her to mindlessly slaughter, though she didn’t mind knocking people out for indefinite periods of time. Hey, when they wake up, the first thing they’re going to know is that they were knocked out by a hot sith lady. How great and terrible is that?

Her fingers rummaged through their pockets. Couple of credits—loose change, mostly—and well, maybe a cigarette or two. The real jewels came in the carts of ores left out for them to salvage. She really shouldn’t be wasting her time with chumps like these. She kicked the miner to the side and moved on, seeing an already made trail of bodies. [member="Sawa Ike"] worked pretty fast. She’d probably empty out the whole mine before Sitara even laid a finger on someone else.

Suddenly someone came lunging for her in the dark. She almost didn’t catch it, but thanks to her senses, she was able to take a quick sidestep and knee the guy in the gut. She wasn’t the strongest person physically, and she had to electrify him once h made contact with her skin. She drew in a deep breath as the guy began to convulse below her. His weapon dropped to the ground and Sitara exhaled a sigh of relief.

Close call.

She then moved in the darkness, searching for her sister who was already digging through the mining carts. “Quite a treasure we have here.”

 

[Sawa Ike]

[member="Sitara Qin"]

Sawa looked from the cart to her sister as she held a grin on her face. "Yes it is, well for what they have. The process will use up most of it but we might be able to get some nice things from it." She let her smile reach her eyes in the darkness as it almost seemed like a cheshire cat with the low light reflecting from her eyes and teeth. Sawa slowly kept picking up what pieces looked best for them to take from boxes and other carts as she was pushing it through. The mines were littered with discarded equipment as the miners were running. Reports of their actions had come through she was certain and unless they were soldiers they would run.

She wasn't looking to kill everything but she was doing what came natural, picking off the weaker ones so the stronger miners who could get them the most material for a later date while she was moving forward with the cart. More lights appeared ahead while she was looking on. Remainign back in the shadows and hearing the sounds of the ones Sitara had left alive while she turned her head and spoke. "You left them alive.... Interesting but not a bad thing. It would serve no purpose to kill all the miners after all. So how nasty of a headache are they going to have in the end?" She said in without a smile but more curious to see where her sister fell on the scale of killers.

 

[Sitara Qin]

She pushed and pulled the cart, testing the weight of its contents. It clicked against the rails, and would need quite a strong push to move the entire cart out of the cave. “It’s quite heavy.” She said, fiddling with the handles. Her eyes met Sawa’s and she returned her smile, though Tara’s was definitely softer. “It’ll be fun getting all of this out here.” Lotsa work, lotsa manual labour. Now she kinda wished those guys weren’t unconscious so they could help them get rid of all this stuff. Nothing better than mind controlled slaves.

She smirked at Sawa’s comment. “Dying is easy.” She said. “It happens to everyone one day.” Even those who lived forever would meet their end eventually. There simply was nothing you could do about death. But life…Now life could be both a gift or a punishment depending on how you played with it. Her eyes flashed a slight gold in the darkness. It was subtle, and easily missed, and only occurred when her thoughts turned dark. “I want them to live their lives in terror of us.”

“Beautiful women who could take their lives away in a second.”

She looked at the cart and pulled it as her eyes shimmered, sometimes the lack of enemotion from being so old was hard. She could never get such pretty golden eyes and as she had learned plucking them out of an apprentice who was going all darkside... didn't stay golden. They reverted back to their natural color sadly. The smile playing as once she was dragging the cart outside she heard the sound and the crimson garbed figure of their back up came. One working to scout the area and make sure the places main gates were on lockdown keeping them inside to be hunted.

"Ah Demeter" The wicked creature was something she looked at with a grin while it landed on her hand starring at both of them with small black and gold eyes. The As=Aki could get off their homeworld and learn things quickly but and that was what gave Sawa a grin. "The gates are locked and the reserve quiet for now. The communications were easy to shut down for a few hours but don't waste time killing everything just do your hunt or I'll rip your eye out for being dumb." There was a look at her and slowly Sawa nodded as an aura od uneasiness settled over the area making one of the humans take off running.

 

[Sitara Qin]

A creature landed on the back of the older woman’s hand. She assumed it was called Demeter since that was what [member="Sawa Ike"] called it. Sitara stayed in place, watching as she spoke to the creature. Apparently it was supposed to hunt, and perhaps the both of them were just supposed to wait here and look pretty. That was fine with her, she didn’t need to do too much manual labor. She poked around at the various ores in the mine cart as Sawa communicated with her pet. One of the humans was probably scared so he took off running. Sitara rolled her eyes, he wouldn’t get too far.

“So, what now, sister?” She asked politely. They had the ores, the majority of the humans either dead or unconscious, and a whole bunch of dark mine to be in. She kinda wished someone illuminated the place, but for now she could strain her eyes by lingering in the darkness.

Sawa looked at Demeter go off as she turned to look at the ore and Sitara. "Now we carry the ore to the ship and depart.... Or we could practice soem force powers on the humans. Really I am not opposed to either." She moved over to the cart as a scream could be heard that turned into something of a gargle for a moment before disappearing. Between the two of them they should be able to lift the cart and carry it while Demeter kept things away from them. Sawa lifted her end like it was a toy and motioned for Sintara to do the same while she spoke. "there is some fear here and there but all these humans reek of it." Her smile remained though. "Then we can celebrate, as I understand you humans prefer imbibing alcohol and listening to bardless songs from electronic devices."

 

[Sitara Qin]

“I hear you’re a powerful shaper, sister.” Sitara said, bowing her head slightly. Indeed, [member="Sawa Ike"] despite being an energy vampire was known to Sitara as one who was skilled in wielding the elements like the shapers of Kro’Var. She learned a few basic abilities from Valdra, Balen-IST, and even lightning wielding, her natural proficiency from Darth Ferus. However, she also wanted to learn from her fellow sister, for she knew if she was more skilled, she could help her covenant more. “I would be blessed if you were to help me.”

[member="Sitara Qin"]

Ahhh Sawa looked at her and stood there for a moment and then moved. Her body remaining in the same pose but it was faster while she was standing there and looking with those silver eyes while she starred along the length of the sister. "That only depends on what element you would like to learn. Some can be difficult and some dangerous, others seductive and some will burn the flesh from your bones." She said it in that low voice but hadn't said no she just wasn't certain which the girl wanted to learn. There was after all a balance to be had with it and Morna one of the strongest shapers and his nephew Imura were not around to teach that balance to many others for now at least. "You will need energy and to know how the elements themselves work. Forcing it will not work, unless you want something destructive to happen that could kill you." She stood there for a moment as her body repaired still with not sight of it breathing or even blinking. "Do you still wish to learn?"

 

[Sitara Qin]

She was thankful that [member="Sawa Ike"] was at least showing her concern instead of allowing her to dive into a lesson headfirst. She had already received a few lessons on Shaping from two people she trusted, and it would be nice to learn from a fellow sister. She nodded. “Yes, sister.” She said, a determined smile on her face. She bowed slightly. “I would be humbled if you were to teach me your ways. I hear you can make an object explode just through shaping.” Ah, combustion. What a beautiful skill you were.
