Korriban, Valley of the Dark Lords

Darkness loomed in the sky as murky fog covered all light. Although it was true that the Force was connected to and intertwined the Galaxy, it was only the Dark Side that reticulated this place. The Valley of the Dark Lords had become truly desolate for the last seven years however, it had visitors today.
Stood in the middle of the Valley, clearly admiring all their surroundings was two hard-to-see people both clothed in black, hooded cloaks that masked their faces. One was rather tall and gracile while the other was short yet burly.

The taller figure walked forward and held up their arms "You see this my Apprentice? This is the centre of power. The home of the Dark Side. All these buildings are tombs where Sith Lords are laid down in peace as a reward for the great things they did. When given a gift as glorious as the strength of the Dark Side you must use it to achieve whatever your most important goals are." Joining their Master, the other stepped forward and spoke "But Master, the Light Side is strong too. It makes it difficult to…achieve goals." "The Light Side is feeble compared to the Dark." the Master growled "The Jedi try to disallow the most ordinary thing about sentient beings: feelings. They forbid emotions such as anger and hatred because they know it would make anyone dominant in the Force. The Dark Side is a hammer and the Light Side is a wall; when the strong side hits the weak, it crumbles."

"So what is your goal my Master?" the Apprentice inquired. Staring at the infamous Mausoleum of Darth Bane, the Master answered "Revenge my Apprentice, Revenge." Turning around they continued "But to fulfill a difficult task, it must be planned carefully. From now on we must be as cautious and discreet as possible. Do not help raise the Jedi's suspicions." The Apprentice nodded and then asked "What about the boy?" Musing over this question, the Master responded "The boy is powerful. He could be helpful but we must corrupt him. We'll use his own problems against him. If we do that, then he will be consumed by the Dark Side."

Yavin IV, Jedi Praxeum, Dinner Hall

Rewards were not something Tyron was used to so having a day off from wearisome training felt like he had been given a mountain of gold. His Master had told him he could relax today as he had been given a short assignment by Master Skywalker.

What Eldin wanted most was rest so he slept in late and didn't get out of bed until the tenth hour of the day. As soon as he arose he headed for the Dinner Hall, feeling very hungry. When he arrived he saw that several people, both students and Jedi, were there enjoying their meals.

After getting his own tray of food, Tyron turned and looked at the hall, wondering where to sit. For most of his time there he had always eaten his dinner beside Jaden, who would point out a fault in his training in between each bite, so eating alone didn't seem quite right.

As he let his eyes wander around he saw that nearly every table was filled with a group all discussing something or other. However he did notice that there was one small table in the corner of the room that had only one person sitting there: Edaruk Voss, the confrontational Zabrak who had become Rosh Penin's Apprentice.

Deciding that beggars can't be choosers Eldin walked over to the fellow student and sat. Edaruk stared at him perplexingly and barked "What do you want?" Picking up his fork, Tyron began to chew his food then replied "Nothing in particular, I just saw you alone and every other table is full so…" he drifted off at the end as he knew it was easy to understand what he was implying. Grunting, Voss just looked down and carried on eating.

Despite the awkwardness, Eldin felt determined to make a conversation with the hostile Zabrak. Poking at his meal, Tyron asked "So, how's your training been?" Edaruk looked up "How's that any of your business?" "I suppose it isn't." Eldin retorted. He saw that forming a friendship with Voss was a long work in progress.
Staying silent for a few minutes, Tyron tried again and asked "So, what's it like to have Rosh Penin as a teacher?" Understanding that a surly attitude wouldn't discourage this one to stop bothering him Voss sighed and answered "It's strenuous. He always does his best to slow me down despite the fact I'm a quick learner. "Taking a breath he continued "Anything else you want to know?" Despite Edaruk's intended insolence Eldin still said back "No not really. You know, you're not the only Apprentice with a Master who's making it hard. My Master is Jaden Korr. He's good but all we're doing is practicing lightsaber combat and what I need to learn the most is how to control the Force. I'd prefer for it to be different but I just tell myself: he is the teacher." Finished with his dinner, Tyron stood and decided to go do some combat exercises but before he turned he did notice that Voss had a softer expression on his face. Perhaps a friendship could actually be made.
