So It begins.

[Kyrel Ren]

​

​

Kyrel had only recently come back to his castle and this time with an Apprentice by the name of [member="Aurora"] needless to say the time so far had been an eventful one, but for now, she was here for one purpose. To become a Knight of Ren, to have something that he had never had, A Teacher. He had not been much of a Teacher nor as he took any apprentices under his wing as he had no idea how to train anyone. How he had received the rank of Master of Ren was due to his skills during the war against the Galactic Alliance that went on for almost two years. Now here she was within his sanctum ready to learn all there was to the dark side, and he had wondered how he would do it. He supposed that it would come to him in time.​

​

He sat on the chair overlooking a window that showed Mustafar's volcanic surface as he was still getting adjusted to being fully human. He was meditating concentrating on the dark side while thinking of what to do with the apprentice today? Perhaps sparring? A lesson in history or perhaps Force Powers. Maybe a mission. Those of which he couldn't decide on and so when his apprentice appeared he supposed that he would have something in mind for her. Until then he sat quietly meditating over the sounds of fiery explosions of ash and magma in the distance.​

[Aurora]

Aurora hated the heat.
She was on her way for her next scheduled lesson with Kyrel when she had the thought among with a few remarks to herself of how she'd been dragged along to this magma pit of a planet.
Sure it made for a great tan but Aurora always felt it was better to be in the cold; you can always put on more layers for warmth but there was only so much you could take off for the blazing heats this planet had to offer. That and... She felt her hand silently traipse along the back of her neck, the jagged edges of her scar bumping along her fingertips. Catching a bit with her nail, a bolt of pain jolted down her back and was met with Aurora's curses.
She was at the enterance now and as she entered, she kept her gaze away from Kyrel's eyesight, trying to hide her foul mood. Silently she took a knee and she awaited his orders.

Kyrel looked at the woman who was before him, and he could feel something off about her, he could feel anger from her but what about? He didn't know all he did know however was to show anger right in front of him would be a very bad move for her, and as his apprentice she would soon learn how it would be to be a Ren, to serve the Supreme Leader, but if she was ready for the task it remained to be seen. He would show her a path unlike any other, the path to true power, but he would have to be careful in the process less she becomes too weak.

He looked at her before raising an eyebrow and speaking, his mother's core world accent making itself known through the tone of his voice. "There will be no need for that Apprentice, and I sense something more to you. You seem to be troubled. I have no orders for you as I have wondered what to do with you, but first I would like to know the cause of your anger." He said waiting for her answer slightly tapping several of his fingers against the rests of his chair impatiently waiting for her to speak.

Aurora felt her mouth twitch in frustration and glanced up to Kyrel, watching him as his fingers sent echoes across the room.
"I am angry about a lot of things." She told him, trying her best to not show her emotions "This heat in particular is rather... agitating."
Saying it, she felt her back sweat more under her black jacket, aching into a long droning pain.

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel raised an eyebrow as he looked at the girl. She was complaining about something that she would have to get used to. Even in his restored form the heat barely bothered him, in fact, he had lived in this world for so long, that to him the heat was not even a discomfort. More like it was something that reminded him of his home whenever he had ventured back to the world. Now here she was complaining as if she was a child which Kyrel didn't take much interest into.

He spoke his tone sounded soft with the Core World accent. One that was inherited from his mother Jedi Shadow Miran Kyrel. For a moment his thoughts raced back to his memories of her, but then he quickly dismissed them as nothing more than ghosts of the past. He remembered not too long ago of encountering her spirit on Ossus, but he dismissed it as a ghost and nothing more. As he spoke his irritation was heard as he was not in the mood to hear her complain about the heat. "Do not complain about such things Disciple. When living in this world, such things as the climate will help you grow stronger, it hardens you. So I suggest you get used to it but it not must be the only things that trouble you?" He said as he stared right into her eyes looking into her very soul.

[Aurora]

Aurora's eyes darted away from his stare, her teeth cutting into her lip as her thoughts cursed her for showing such weakness.
"I..." Her voice stuttered and faded, her breaths becoming more frustrated as she struggled to say anything
Her mind flitted through each way she could say it but somehow the words just couldn't leave her mouth. It was only when she felt her own tear drop from her face that Aurora admitted the weak thoughts.
"I want to go back to Alexandria..."
Her voice was hoarse, her throat dry with both anger and fear.
She hadn't been back to that planet since Lord Kyrel had found her there. She'd had no trouble with the new purpose her life was given but these past few weeks she couldn't meditate without it being corrupted by vast plains, a cold damp cave and... Bella....
Just thinking her name made her stomache tense, images of the girl digging into her very soul.
She couldn't bring herself to even look at her master as her shame took over, her head bowing lower and further away as she tried to compose herself.

Kyrel kept his raised eyebrows looking at his apprentice as she spoke the words of wishing to head back to Alexandria. Alexandria was a world he was familiar with. He had been there at least twice within his lifetime. The first time was an attack made by the group of machines known as the Contingency and the second was when he was looking for Force Sensitives, and that was where he had found Aurora Emberwill within a cave, alone and afraid. That day she swore not alone to accept his training on a path towards greatness and serving the Supreme Leader, becoming part of a larger goal then herself, but he knew that she would never leave his side, wherever he had gone she was right at his side, and now all of a sudden she wished to go back to her past. She didn't have to speak the reason of why though, her face was full of conflict and knew that something was blocking her path towards true potential.

He looked at her in curiosity for a moment. The air was covered in a thick silence between the two as she didn't even dare look at him, this irritated him but he knew why she was acting this way, before coming to the Bastion of Ren 2 years ago Kyrel had a moment of hesitation on whether or not accepting his Mother's offer to accept the Light, To take her Lightsaber and become a Jedi, but in that moment, in a moment of blind fury he choked and snapped his Mother's neck with the Force even at the time he had no training in such abilities at the time, and acted on pure instinct alone, and then after overcome by a moment of weakness mourning her death in that moment it all became clear to him what his destiny was as he had a vision of his future.

​

​

He saw a dark robed man wielding a red blade to the skies surrounded by piles of bodies, First Order flags reigning and ruined buildings surrounded by ominous figures in front of him wielding red blades as well. In that moment he knew his destiny, he knew what his path was and so murdered his father without hesitation with his Mother's own Lightsaber, He had burned his home and took the lightsaber, keeping it in a chest, not a few feet from where Kyrel was sitting. On that day that is where Thomas Kyrel truly died and was reborn as Kyrel Ren. He had known first hand that if the girl wished to become stronger then she must cut all ties to his past, but even he might not be right and so he asked with curiosity showing a slight hint of hesitation. "Look at me, Disciple.., Why do you wish to go back to the place where I found you? He said as his dark irises flashed a hint of yellow before reverting back to the dark orbs, as he waited for her answer.

[Aurora]

Aurora's eyes met Kyrel's and in that moment she felt her fear and shame disappear, numbed into complete anger.
Even now as she looked at him visions of Bella flickered through her sight. When Kyrel had found her she'd been there for just over a month, stuck in the dark with only rodents to survive on. That and the agony that had consumed her. She'd told him how she'd got the scar that ran up her spine- a grenade to the back- and how it caused her to fall into the cave she'd been stuck in. But she hadn't told him why...
Other than herself, Aurora had travelled to Alexandria with a girl named Bella- a girl she'd met when she'd first left home. They'd been through everything together and through the years had grown closer together... Aurora loved her more than anything. She'd die for her- she almost did. Of course there seemed to be a war going on on every planet in the galaxy but they'd hoped that Alexandria would offer them the chance to start a new life together... They'd come across a group of mercs and after refusing to give them their last food found a fight exploding in their face- quite literally. A grenade had been thrown at Bella and in a blind act of love Aurora force pushed Bella away and used her own body to try to shield her from the blast, leaving a scar that burnt right through to her nerves, leaving her in agony as she fell to the floor. The explosion had damaged the thin ground and it opened up from underneath her, pulling her into the black cold below. When Aurora woke up all she could see was the opening above, all she could feel was the pain- so much pain... then Bella called from above and given her hope. It soon left when she told her it was "too risky" to try and get her out. And then... she walked away. She abandoned her,left her for dead, didn't even dare to stay for aurora's final breaths.
It corrupted Aurora's mind and she waited for death to come and claim her. Hours turned to days and days into weeks. It was all the same- agony, fear and anger. In the last week Aurora had been meditating, her mind consumed by the force. It seemed to be the only thing to calm her thoughts.
And in her meditation Aurora must have reached out somehow, her subconscious still looking for hope. Kyrel answered, helped her stay alive. He kept her from death's grips.
The time that followed was simple. With a new purpose Aurora had joined the First Order, dedicating her life to Kyrel and the supreme leader. Only now the past had finally caught up to her thoughts, she couldn't sleep in fear that she'd wake up screaming... all because of Bella...
As Aurora stared into Kyrel's pupils, she reached out to him throb the force, hoping her thoughts would transfer over.
"I need to kill her." She said, her voice a cold whisper "I need to find Bella and kill her."

Kyrel leaned forward in his seat, so she did have a loose end after all. This was something he had found to be most interesting. In order for her to be a truly free of her chains then she must break them as Kyrel had done so with his past, but whether she had the strength to do so was still rather doubtful of her, even in his care for the past two weeks in order to commence her training she must be truly dedicated to the First Order and the Supreme Leader. But for now he could sense that she was very conflicted, and for the moment Kyrel was doubting her.

He thought only for a moment staring deep into her eyes before he finally got up from his seat and speaking. "Then I have a gift for your apprentice." He said leading her to the hanger bay walking through the obsidian halls, the aura of the dark side clung heavily to the air as they walked down, his dark cape apart of his robes swayed gently in the breeze. Then they finally arrived at a turbolift where Kyrel had directed them to the hanger bay, going through the vast network of lava tubes that went throughout the Castle.

When they had finally arrived they went through yet another turbolift where they went to a space of durasteel and Obsidian above even more lava tubes as Kyrel extended his hand towards a new TIE Design not seen before. The TIE Silencer as Kyrel looked into her eyes once again. "This is my Apprentice is yours to use when you go on tasks that benefit you. The TIE SIlencer, A TIE that was used by the First Incarnation of the First Order now months of work has come to fruition. Go and do not fail."

[Aurora]

Aurora didn't know what to say. She'd half expected him to laugh at her for her troubles but instead he was giving her a TIE Silencer?...
She'd been studying the new ship for a while now but had always expected to see them from afar and not be able to touch one let alone own one for months-even years...
"...Thank you." she managed to tell him "I will not disappoint you."
Her head bowed to him before returning to the ship, her feet quickly walking over to it as she studied every detail. She then entered the ship and switched on the controls, watching as it hummed to life. With one last smile to [member="Kyrel Ren"] she flew it out the hangar, mind set on Alexandria [EXIT]
