Lord Pyroken was the most powerful sith lord to ever live, and he had just died. His personal ship; the Ebon Hawk had been destroyed after an attack by a band of well armed mercenaries. Pyroken and his new apprentice Visas were the only ones on the ship at the time due to a conflict that involved everyone else leaving. Why The Lord of Death permitted this, is a mystery, but he is a trivial albeit; all powerful man. When the mercenaries boarded the Ebon Hawk, Pyroken realized that while he was more powerful than all of them combined, their heavy weaponry would prove fatal. So he and Visas entered the escape pod and left. It was of their own misfortune that the pod flew directly into a strange green portal.
It was the day of the Springtime Summoning Ritual and to say that Louise le Blanc de la Valliere would be the understatement of the millenium. Everyone else had already gone their familiars summoned. Louise decided to attempt to slink away unnoticed but her arch-enemy Kirche Zerbst would have none of it. "Professor Colbert, the Zero hasn't gone yet!" the busty teen yelled. "Oh, thank you Miss Zerbst; Miss Valliere if you would," and the balding man gestured towards the summoning circle. Taking a deep breath, Louise stepped forward ignoring the taunts of her classmates as she began. "My servant that exists somewhere in the universe, my divine, beautiful, wise, and powerful servant, answer my guidance and appear!" she chanted. A stream of bright red light shot from the end of her wand and directly into the sky, where the most spectacular explosion anyone had ever seen was created. Before her fellow students could begin to laugh, a large metal ball fell from the smoke. The impact of the object with the exact center of the summoning circle caused a large amount of dirt to be thrown around the field. When
Colbert worked up the courage to approach the ball, it shifted in the ground revealing a large pane of glass on the front. What shocked him even more were the two unconscious figures within the ball. Colbert reached out to touch it, and almost as if this was a planned event, the ball opened with a slight hiss. Louise had worked her way behind the professor to see what she had summoned. Within the now open metal ball was a man and a woman. The woman wore black robes and a peculiar hood that covered her eyes completley. The man on the other hand had a much more interesting outfit. He wore similar black robes, with black metallic gauntlets and boots. On his head was a pitch black helmet tat was totally smooth except for a thin line of glass to see out of. Louise was wondering how the man could breath when he woke from his slumber. He looked at his companion, and after making sure she was okay, he exited the ball and stood at his full height. He towered over Professor Colbert and everyone else in the field for that matter. He spoke, but it was absolutely unintelligable. It was at this point that Louise saw the two blades in his hands. Although they were very large they were the weapons of a commoner and that meant that she had just summoned two commoners. Louise was devestated at that realization. "P-P-Professor, could you please cast a translation spell on these t-t-two."
"Of course Louise." Colbert replied while casting the spell in as non threatingly a way as possible. "Sir, can you understand me?"
"Yes, I can understand you peasant. Now explain where I am lest I kill you where you stand!"
"You are in the Tristain Academy of Magic in the country of Tristain on the continent of Halkegenia. Happy?" Colbert said with an obviouly irritated look on his face.
"Explain. What system, what planet, what central star?"
"System? I do not grasp your meaning."
At this the sith frowned in anger and frustration although it was a meaningless waste of energy due to his mask. 'What kind of backwater world did we land on!?'
After minutes of silence, the massive figure caused everyone to jump when he extended his hand. "Pyroken, Dark Lord of the Sith, nice to meet you-"
"Colbert."
"So, lets get down to buisness, why are we here? The last thing I remember is Visas and I launching the escape pod and then we were here."
Colbert smiled and happily replied "Oh, thats very simple, Miss Valliere here summoned you to be her familiars."
"What is a familiar?"
"A lifelong servant to the mage who summoned them until one of them dies."
"Well, seeing as me and my apprentice are likely marked down as dead and I currently have nothing else to do, I accept on behalf of myself and my apprentice. Complete this ritual Louise."
"H-H-HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!?"
"I can read minds. Sorry, I just subconciously find the names of people when we speak."
"Miss Valliere, please continue with the binding."
"Familiar! Remove your mask and kneel!" Louise demanded making everyone watching fear for her life.
"Heh, its been a while since someone was giving me orders instead of receiving them. But ill bite, be prepared." Louise watched with facinastion as he swept back his hood and pressed a small button on the back of the helmet causing thin red lines to appear on the glassy surface of the mask. The helmet expanded to the point where it could be easily removed, but the second he did, everyone wished he didn't. His face was deathly pale, with black veins that were all over his head. His eyes were pure black with crimson pupils.
Instead of kneeling he just bent over until his face directly in front of Louise's (this was a very impressive feat seeing as he was almost 13 feet tall). Louise did a quic chant before quickly kissing him on the lips surprising the man greatly. It was even more surprising when runes began to burn themselves onto Pyronek's forehead, the pain reminding him of the time that Lord Sion had stabbed him. While Louise confidently did the same to the sleeping Visas, a war was raging inside of Pyronek's mind. The runes were trying to force him to be submissive and completly obident to his new master, while he actively resisted it, placing the runes behind a partition of sorts.
Visas had her runes branded onto her left hand but as she was already obediant to a fault, the runes did not try to influence her mind in any way. Professor Colbert dismissed the students and they all hurredly floated away-well, all except for Louise.
"Why do you not fly?" Pyroken inquired while hoisting Visas onto his shoulder.
"Because it is below me!" Louise huffed out before storming over to the tower her room is in. Once the trio reached the bedroom the first thing Pyronek saw wad that there was only one bed.
"Where are we to sleep?"
"There is hay on the floor" Louise flatly remarked as she stripped off all of her clothing and threw it at Pyronek.
"What is Revan's name are you doing child?!" exclaimed Pyronek, obviously flustered and confused by this.
"I am getting ready for bed."
"No, that is obvious, what I meant was, why were you undressing in full view of a male?"
"You are not a male, you are a familiar. It is like undressing in front of a dog."
"If you just called me a dog, you should know that I have killed greater men for less."
"For that remark, you will not get any breakfast."
This just earned a smirk from the tired sith lord. "While I do not require food, I do enjoy the taste, and nobody will keep me from what I like unless they want to meet my blade."
"Then give me those swords."
Pyronek grabbed the twin Zabrakian vibroswords and dropped them at her feet. "If I may ask, why do you want these old things. I stopped using them ages ago."
"Then what did you mean by 'blade'?" Louise inquired.
"I meant this." Pyronek followed up his statement by activating his dual bladed lightsaber, the blades redder than his eyes.
"Then give that to me as well."
"I refuse"
"WHAT?! YOU CAN NOT REFUSE YOUR MASTER!"
"I will not give you my most trusted weapon." And with that, Pyronek jumped out of the window, Visas in tow and passed out on top of a tower.
