Jace Kintain stood outside the Sith temple and stared across the red wastes of Korriban. The dust stung against his face as the hot wind carried it through the air, but Jace ignored it. He closed his eyes and he felt. He reached out with his senses, with the force, and he felt the dark side pulsating through the world. It was like a beast, thriving, powerful, flowing through everyone and everything that lived here, twisting it to its image, corrupting it.

Unless you could bend it to your own will.

Jace had never had trouble controlling the dark side. He had mastered it from a young age. He knew because of the seething hatred and jealousy he felt from the other padawans. The weak ones especially. Most of them were gone now, failing in their weakness. The Sith do not accept failure.

He let the dark side surround him and encase him. It was going to be the last time he could do it for a while. Jace didn't get long. He heard the call of his Master, even though he was on the other side of the academy. In a wave of power, it reached his mind, a familiar, unbending jolt like a spark of electricity inside his skull. It meant only one thing:

COME TO ME. NOW.


Jace didn't waste an instant. He gathered what few belongings he had, attached his lightsaber to his belt and set of towards the location of the call: the docking bay.

He walked quickly, stepping swiftly out of the way of anyone approaching from the other direction so that his movement was not impeded, his progress not slowed. Jace had learned not to make his Master wait for too long. He had the scars on his body still from the last time his was not prompt enough in his arrival.

But he knew he was taking too long.

While he had been listening to the force, she would probably have been training with her saber, half the distance from the docking bay that he was.

If she arrived first...

The doors to the bay hissed open, Jace was momentarily taken back by the size of the ship that swamped the bay, making everything else look miniscule in comparison. It suddenly occurred to him that he was leaving his home, the one place he had lived for most of his life. He had never been off-planet since he arrived here.

Something twisted in his stomach? Was it fear?

He pushed it down, crushing it with the dark side. Fear had no room in his life.

But it was all too clear that he had already failed the first test of the mission. His Master stood by the ramp leading up into the ship and at his feet knelt the other apprentice: Lyric. She had beaten him here.

With a silent curse, he crossed the bay in a few steps and knelt down next to her. “Master,” he said. “Command me.”

Lyric Draxar swung her sabre through the air, hearing it buzz and Crackle as it made contact. The human slave looked up as she fell to her knees. The look of fear was forever frozen onto her face. She leaned and fell to the ground, dead. The gamorrian walked forward and picked up the dead girl, throwing her into the pile of bodies. Lyric sneered. These slaves were no match for her, even in a group, not one could touch her.

Lyric yearned for a battle, to actually prove her worth. This new assignment she would soon be leaving for was not something she wanted to do. It was all about stealth and careful planning. Lyric itched to strike her enemies down. That was how she had advanced so quickly. She preyed on the weak. There were so many prospects that didn't make it through the doors, mysteriously disappearing or turning up dead. Lyric did not take kindly to weakness. Her sabre abilities were the best in the academy. The only person who could actually last in the dueling ring with her was her rival and fellow apprentice to her master. The only reason he survives is his abilities within the force. Sure, Lyric was powerful in the force, but she lacked the discipline to hone it as Jace does.

Lyric was about to shout for another group when she felt the surge in her head.

COME TO ME. NOW.

She grabbed her satchel and turned to the gamorrian. "Clean up this filth." She said in a cold tone. She then whipped around and made her way to the hanger.

As she walked, people moved out of her way, fear on their faces. Lyrics reputation was well known throughout the academy. Anyone who stood in her way, figuratively and literally, did not last long. Again, the only one who had was Jace. Every thought of him angered her. Lyric thought he was weak. He didn't deserve to be the masters apprentice alongside her. She hoped to prove that one day, but for now she had to play nice.

Entering the hanger, Lyric looked up at the ship that would be taking them. It was rather large for a courier ship, but she didn't care. All she needed was a training room. She approached her master, who was standing next to the ship. She immediately knelt down. "Command me master." She said.

Ever since she was taken from her family, Lyric had idolized her master. The Cathar was strong, both with a sabre and the force. She wished nothing but to please him, to do his bidding and carry out his demands. That is how she came to hate the weak, for her master hated the weak. It was also why she couldn't understand why Jace was his apprentice as well. Lyric had always sensed a sliver of weakness I'm him, which was enough to make him fail.

She heard the hanger door open and smiled. He was late. Again. She heard him approach and felt the air stir as he knelt down next to her. She looked over slightly and smirked.
