Pravus Zambrano
The Festering Wound
Panatha, the most tenuous stretch of control the One Sith could muster. Pravus had heard tale from his various employers of a castle on the hill, covered in darkness and founded by fire. The way they worded it, one could hardly imagine it as simple fantasy. After all, these weren't the type heavily burdened with an artists touch. Nothing existed for them lest it land in plain site. Of course, the description was entirely lacking and for the mind that wandered about in the line between dreams and reality, the imperfect visualization needed remedy.
The transport ship cut through the darkened sky of the planet, more rust than anything else. Killing people only afforded so much money but the knowledge that came from the scraps, one could hardly put a price on it. Like the scientists of old, dependent on ghouls and cadavers for their schooling, Pravus took a more forward approach to his specimens. Gripping his hand against the dash, he could almost feel the muck between his fingers. Viscous, gushy, slimy. Beautiful. The hankering for more knowledge often resembled spontaneous blood thirst, but it soothed the wicked soul to have more divine reasoning to justify the gore and sacrifice. Lifting his hand towards the cabin ceiling, he slammed his fist into the dash.
"Land! You stupid ship! LAND!"
The lights blared in response to the unnecessary gesture. The man wasn't exactly equipped for flight, particularly the taking off and landing bit. Hence the state of the ship, lacking in many modifications, as he squandered what credits were left on a voice command navigation system. Though it had its quirks, it responded well enough to his high pitched voice. Cutting hard, the display lit up with contours that showed the proposed landing location.
"Yes yes, that looks fine!" He waved to the thing, absentmindedly.
Hitting the button, and then a good deal more for good measure, the thrusters kicked on to place the ship outside of the Vain Hollow Keep. As the ship crunched upon dry soil, cracking beneath extended metal feet, the ramp ejected. Hunching down, Pravus moved out slowly and descended the ramp. It wasn't until he turned that he was given full view of the castle. The spires, the black coiling upon black, and the storm in the background. The way the lightning hit the dirty sky, contrasting against the tan soil and cliffs outstretched in the distance.
"My...Vahl!" Moving forward, he lumbered as he dragged the vibrant tails of the robe along with him. "It's..." Lifting his hands into the sky, fingers curled into a fist. "So beautiful!" He pulled his elbow to his face, wiping away a tear, as he caught his breath. Coming into atmosphere, he had missed the dark and dank labs his employers had provided him for his spare time and hobbies. But now, standing on Panatha, he couldn't be more enthused. Seemingly quick to ramble, the man moved towards the castle in search of the entrance.
