Prologue- Part 1

Story so far: with the One Sith forced into hiding and trying to infiltrate governments across the galaxy, they need more Sith and so, Talon is forced to take an apprentice…

139 ABY, after the fall of the One Sith

Csilla, Chiss Homeworld, City of Csaplar

With the fall of the One Sith and their empire, Talon was trying to infiltrate and influence the Chiss Ascendancy, as per the order of the new Dark Lord Nihl. She was also trying to find an apprentice that would take the place as Fist or possibly Hand for Nihl in the future. She wasn't having success though. She had amassed allies and pawns in the Chiss Ascendancy but not enough to take over. She had to everything through pawns because she could be recognised and non-Chiss weren't liked around Csilla. But everything changed the day she met her new apprentice…

Csaplar's Market

Part 1- The New Apprentice

Darth Talon was walking to meet Cramt'rak'ktran, her chief pawn that made sure that everything was in order, and get her status report. But her orderly meeting that she had every week was interrupted by a Chiss teenage boy being chased by the CEDF (Chiss Expansionary Defence Force)… but there was something off about this... Suddenly several of the CEDF guards were flown backwards by an invisible hand that could only be the Force. Could this be a sign? Could this be her new apprentice?

"I think that's about enough…" Talon said to the CEDF Captain.

"Who do you think you are? This abomination is being prosecuted for breaking the law." The captain replied.

"On what grounds?"

"You mean apart from being an abomination? Stealing valuable property from a vendor, assault and evading arrest."

"Oh, I hardly call some nerf stew valuable!" the teen said with a smerk. "And the vendor said I could have it. You're just LYING. Everything was because you chased me for having food."

"I assume you have 'recovered' this 'valuable' nerf stew? Yes? Then why don't you be on your way?"

"I'll ask again, who do you think you are? The Queen of Corellia?" the captain asked.

"Shut up you big idiot!" one of the other guards said to the captain. "That's Mistress T! She could get us fired like that!" The guard snapped his fingers for effect.

"How do we know it's her?" the captain asked. "It could be some imposter."

Talon carefully and slowly used the Force to choke the captain. "Don't question." She said to the guard. She then reluctantly let go.

The captain dropped to the ground and looked astonished. "Oh my apologies Mistress Talon, I am so sorry for questioning you."

"That's better. Now let this teen be on his way."

"Yes, mistress." The captain said in subdued tone. As the guards went on their way, the teen got up and Talon approached the teen. The teen was clearly attractive but different from his brethren. Instead of blue skin, red eyes and black hair, he had red skin, black eyes and albino white hair. When she noticed this, she realised this was why they called him abomination. He was different and because of it despised.

"What's your name?"

"Rath'rax'wan, or Thrax for short. I assume you're 'Mistress T?'" the teen asked, clearly showing what he thought of that.

"Yes I am, I'm Talon. I saw your abilities out there."

"You saw that?" Thrax now seemed suspicious but proud.

"Yes I did, and I can train you to control your abilities and embrace them for your own use and get revenge on those who displease you. What would you say to that?"

"Oh I'd like that." Thrax said in some sadistic pleasure. "I'd like that I lot."

Talon's House

Part 2- The Abomination

"Pretty swanky place you've got here Talon." He said as he took a seat on her couch.

"If you're going to be my apprentice, then you need to call me Master." Annoyed at his arrogant tone.

"Yes, Master Talon." He replied.

"I have to ask. Why did they call you an abomination?" Talon asked, and before he could say anything, she continued, "Obviously because of your skin, eyes and hair but why?"

"I'm not some mutant and I haven't evolved or anything." He was silent for a few seconds. "I'm an experiment."

"What?" Talon replied.

"I'm a genetically modified clone of Thrawn, the Imperial Grand Admiral, the only alien to hold that position. Force energy from the Kaiburr crystal was channelled into me. However, this resulted in me having red skin, black eyes and white hair. This has made me an abomination in the eyes of my people. And if that wasn't enough, I have this transparent left arm."

"Really?" Talon was surprised. Her new apprentice really wasn't your everyday apprentice. She folded her arms. "Prove it."

Thrax was wearing an overall that covered his left arm mainly. He leaned his right arm over and ripped the sleave off, revealing his transparent left arm. He smirked, "Satisfied?"

"Yes actually. So you're like Jek-14 from the Old Republic? Did you learn your powers from someone or are you a natural?"

"Yes I'm like Jek-14 but a lot of my powers are just natural abilities."

"But who created you?"

"I was created by Darth Caedus in the Second Galactic Civil War on the Anakin Solo as a template for a army and as a possible apprentice. But when the last battle was lost, they flew in a starship to the Chiss Ascendancy so the project was found out about. But they were later robbed and killed by pirates. So I've got nothing at all here."

"But that was nearly 100 years ago…"

"I was in stasis and was only thawed about 3 years ago. I'm a genetically modified to have accelerated aging until 13 then standard aging."

"I notice you don't feel any remorse for the death of the people who created you."

"Well they were only my batchers; they weren't my parents after all."

"I'm Darth Talon, you're Sith Master and I will teach you the ways of the Dark Side for the One Sith." Talon sensed some resentment from him on the name One Sith. Maybe it was because he was created by Sith who followed the Rule of Two or maybe for other reasons. "Are you ready to begin your training?"

"Oh, you have no idea how much master… you have no idea."

Part 3- Legacy of the Sith

"First you must learn the Sith Code, the Rule of One and the History of the Sith. The Sith Code is what all Sith should live by." Talon said to Thrax.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me."

"'Peace is a lie, there is only passion.' Conflict forces someone to better themselves. In peace, they grow weak. The Sith seek to never be weak." Talon said, explaining the first line.

"Next line 'Through passion, I gain strength.' It is own goal to be the strongest and the strongest Sith. We challenge the order of ways and we are seekers to better ourselves and the galaxy."

"'Through strength, I gain power.' With the strength you have, you can better yourself in the Force and other areas to serve our Dark Lord."

"Who is the current Dark Lord?" Thrax asked.

"All in good time, my young apprentice. 'Through power, I gain victory.' With the strength you have, you can achieve anything, even the rulers of the galaxy as we did under Master Krayt."

"'Through victory, my chains are broken, The Force shall free me.' You're the victory you get through power, you are free just like we were under Krayt. We aim to free ourselves from any restrictions."

Talon took a breath and a moment for it to sink in. "The Rule of One was developed by Darth Krayt and we One Sith follow this doctrine. Instead of conflict to reach the position of Dark Lord, we obey him or her to better the Sith as a whole."

"But you just said conflict forces someone to better themselves. If we obey, we don't better ourselves, we just obey. And what if the Dark Lord doesn't do what we should do?" Thrax asked.

Talon was surprised. He had obviously be taught the Rule of Two and previous incarnations of Sith. The problem was… these were all valid questions. She would have to answer carefully. "Conflict against others such as Jedi betters us. But conflict against ourselves will make us weak. If the Dark Lord doesn't follow the Rule of One, then it's our job to put someone to oust him or her. We only obey a true Dark Lord as the incarnation of the Rule of One."

"I guess that makes some sense."

"Now for the history of the Dark Side and the Sith, a basic history. The first dark siders were the Rakata; they learnt their Force abilities from the benevolent Kwa, but they used it for their own gain and so became rulers of the galaxy for millennia. They only fell when a plague stripped them of their Force abilities. The Je'daii Order, an order of the balance of Light and Dark and forerunners of the Jedi Order, had fought against the their members who believed the Bogan or Dark Side was stronger than the Light or Ashla. When the Dark Siders were defeated, they left Tython, their home world and left for Ossus. The next darksiders were the Legions of Lettow under Xendor. They were crushed, who never provoked the Jedi. Around seven millennia ago, seventeen millennia after, the Hundred-Yea Darkness began with the Jedi again waging war against their own. The Exiles as they came to be called, fled to Korriban, and interbred with the Sith species that lived there, and who we are named after. The Sith returned 2 millennia later to wage war but failed. Over the millennia, there have been many successful incarnations of Sith, many who had galaxy-spanning empires. We are the latest incarnation of Sith and the best. We are the heirs to the legacy left behind from the Rakata, Sith, Xendor and the Exiles." Thrax looked thoughtful and looked like he was taking it on board. "I think that's enough for today. You go get some sleep, we begin proper training tomorrow."
