Summary: Osnir is the son of a powerful Sith pureblood and a human female, his father taught him to hate and destroy anyone that stands in his way. His mother taught him compassion and love. He is not important to this story.
~o0o~
"If the lords in the academy feel what I just felt coming from you they would come here and execute you themselves."
"Wait? What!" Osnir shouted as he tried to pry his hands free of Spindrall's grasp. And failing.
"That power, it is something not seen since Revan. And Revan almost took over the entire galaxy. With that power your potential is almost limitless." Spindrall said as he slowly released Osnir.
"That ring I just gave you masks the power that awakened when you… I don't know what to call it. But it awakened something powerful within you."
"How do you know?!" Osnir almost demanded as he calmed down, a little.
"I have been around for far longer than you, acolyte." Spindrall spoke with a sharp edge to his tone.
"Well you certainly weren't around when Revan was, that was ages ago."
"Well yes, I was not around when Revan build his empire. However, I have studied him and have a… theory… where his power came from. And it was not just the dark side of the force."
'That's not how it went in the lore…' Osnir thought as he wondered if he forgot something about Revan.
"Revan was a jedi knight that fell to the dark side of the force, he was then brought back to the light side. I believe that only someone with a deep understanding of both the dark and light side of the force can achieve that power." Spindrall spoke as he went into his teacher mode.
"That mean every dark jedi and redeemed sith has this power?"
"Well, no. As far as I am aware only Revan has ever achieved that power. And now you. Although you are far from being able to control it." Spindrall spoke in a harsh tone as he saw Osnir's face light up.
"So… why are you helping me anyway?"
"Honestly. I don't know." Spindrall confessed.
"How can you not know?"
"I just helped you. Be grateful!"
"Anyway, there is someone I would like to speak to. A human female just outside of my home. I can feel the same power on her that I felt with you, although nowhere near as strong. Bring her to me." Spindrall commanded as he sat down on a nearby chair.
"Fine." Osnir said as he started to walk back towards his men.
"Rosa, could you come with me for a second please." Osnir asked her when he rejoined Thrawn.
"Of course, my lord." She replied as she walked towards him. Not even looking towards Thrawn to ask for permission as she follow Osnir deeper inside the tomb.
"I'm fairly sure you meant Rosa, so here she is. What do you want with her?" He half demanded. 'Wait, when did I get so possessive towards Rosa..? I'll add it to the list of questions to ask myself when I get the time.' He thought tiredly.
"I mean her no harm, I assure you." Spindrall said as he closed his eyes and started to meditate. After ten seconds he opened his eyes.
"What did you do to this poor girl?!" Spindrall demanded
"What do you mean?!" Osnir shouted defensively. "I didn't do anything to her!"
"Not like that you idiot, I mean what did you do to her that could cause her to be force sensitive?!"
"Uhm, sorry to interrupt, my lords. But I'm not force sensitive." Rosa said, growing more confused by the second.
"I know a force sensitive being when I see one!" Spindrall insisted. "She has the same kind of power as you. What did you do to her?"
"Well, I might have saved her life while meditating on the same kind of power as I used just now. But I didn't feel anything like I just did!" He added as Spindrall looked at him like he was insane.
"How injured was she?!"
"I was on the brink of death." Rosa answered for him.
"Do you have any training with healing through the force?" Spindrall asked.
"No…" Osnir admitted. "But I've read about it."
"Insignificant, arrogant, stupid, senile little boy." Spindrall mumbled very loudly as he sat back down on his chair.
"When you healed, Rosa I think you said, with that power of yours it activated latent force potential within her. It's the first thing they warn you about when you start your training in force healing. Normally it would take more power than that of a sith lord and leave that lord permanently drained." Spindrall explained.
'That sure as hell wasn't in the lore!' Osnir thought as he listened to Spindrall.
"But with the power you possess, insignificant as it may be right now, you would only feel extremely tired and weak. Isn't that right?"
"It is, I slept for two hours and was still at only a third of my strength."
"Well, in any case, Rosa is now force sensitive and there is no way to undo it." Spindrall said as Rosa started to shift a little nervously.
"Does that mean that I'm going to be send to an overseer and go through the sith trails?" She asked, more than a little nervous.
"No. With no training and just discovering your potential you would be killed within the day." Spindrall said while looking at an ever-growing nervous Rosa.
"Therefore, I will train you." Spindrall said, but before he could say anything else Rosa interrupted.
"I will only be trained by you if lord Osnir allows it!" She declared while looking straight into Spindrall's eyes. He raised an eyebrow.
"I am a sith lord, Osnir isn't even an apprentice yet?" Spindrall asked with a clear question.
"I swore a blood oath to lord Osnir." Rosa said as if that explained everything. Apparently, it did, as Spindrall's confusion cleared up and he looked at Osnir.
"If she swore a blood oath to you and she truly knows what it means she would die before disobeying you. You have to give her permission to allow me to train her." Spindrall said in a completely normal tone, not the slightest bit offended that he was just turned down.
"Why do you want to train her anyway?" Osnir asked.
"Because I sense potential in her. Because you will go very far within the sith, you might even make it as far as the dark counsel. You owing me for training her would be very useful. Also, you just killed all my apprentices…" Spindrall said while gesturing to the room filled with corpses.
"You told me to do that!"
"…"
"Very well." Osnir said.
"Good, I will train her as long as you are on Korriban. I believe completing your trails will take about two months. I will teach her the basics on using the force, then you can teach her the rest." Spindrall said, signaling that this conversation was over.
"Very well, thank you for training her, lord Spindrall." Osnir said politely with a small bow.
"Don't thank me yet, I will make the next two months absolute hell for her." Spindrall said with a sadistic smile on his face.
"One more thing, do not take that ring off. Ever."
Osnir nodded and started to walk back towards Thrawn, leaving Rosa behind to be trained by Spindrall.
When he returned to Thrawn he had a questioning look on his face.
"Rosa is going to be trained by Spindrall, tell the men she is doing a sensitive job for me." Was all Osnir said as he cleared his voice an addressed his men.
"Break up the barricade, we are going to continue towards the other exit of this tomb. We leave in ten minutes!"
~o0o~
When his remaining men where done with packing up, he led them onwards deeper inside the tomb, still not encountering any resistance. Just upstairs from the position they were before he his men told them to hold.
"We have two paths up ahead. We can go left, or we can go straight ahead. Thrawn, take your men and go left, if you encounter any resistance hold position and sent someone to get me." Osnir ordered.
"Understood, my lord." Thrawn said as he took his men and left. Osnir went straight ahead and found some old friends.
"Payback time you ugly sons of bitches." He shouted as he jumped towards the closest K'lor'slug and cut its head off.
'This is way easier than I remember.' He though as he used the force to push the tenth K'lor'slug against a wall, killing it instantly.
He was about to continue clearing the rest of the hallway when he heard someone shout his name. An imperial soldier stopped before him and saluted.
"My lord, we have encountered the remaining looters. They are holdup inside a large room with no exit."
"Excellent, we will return at once."
When Osnir and the soldier returned to Thrawn and the men he saw that there was a strong barricade manned with looters defending the artifact.
"Thrawn, how many looters?"
"Around sixty, my lord. They appear to be well defended and show no signs of surrendering. Those artifacts must be worth a lot."
"Very well then. Trespassing inside the tomb of and ancient sith lord is punishable by death." Osnir said with a small sad smile on his lips.
"Hold this position and make sure no one escapes." He ordered as he drew his war blade and started to walk towards the heavily defended looters.
What followed was an absolute bloodbath. Calling upon his newly discovered powers he builds up a strong force push and used it to complete blow the barricade away, injuring many that where guarding it.
Calmly walking towards the now useless barricade he killed four looters that came running at him with a wide slash across the chests. Walking inside he dodges some poorly aimed blaster fire and killed two more looters, decapitating them this time.
Just shy of ten minutes later Osnir walked back outside of the looter stronghold covered in blood and breathing heavily. He walked towards Thrawn who gave him a cloth to wipe his face down.
"All the looters have been killed, take your men and start packing up the artifacts." He ordered tiredly as he sat down with his back leaning against the wall.
"Yes, my lord." Thrawn said as he started to order his men around.
Almost two hours later he was gnawing on a ration bar as Thrawn approached him again.
"All artifacts have been secured and we are ready to move out." He reported.
"Good, with the looters dead we should only encounter some stray K'lor'slug's." He said as he stood up and started and lead him men forward.
~o0o~
From their on the way forwards, only blocked by some K'lor'slug's, Osnir and his men found themselves outside the tomb and overlooking the main entrance of Korriban's sith academy.
"Let the man rest for now, I'll go see Sergeant Rikel."
"Yes sir!" Thrawn saluted before turning around and ordering the men to see the medics if they were injured.
Dealing with Rikel proved to be a simple deal. Give supplies, take a complement, sort off, and leave. Bit disappointing really.
As Osnir returned to Thrawn he spoke up.
"This is where our paths diverge my friend, at least until I can get you assigned under my command."
"I know, my lord. I wish you strength with your trails… not that you'll need it." Thrawn replied with a small smirk on his lips.
Thrawn got a serious as he snapped off a quick salute and returned to his men.
'Time to see how much I can keep the storyline intact without losing my temper…'
~o0o~
-All that and a back of chips-
Cya all next time.
