Prologue- Part 2

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, Talon's House

Part 4- Thoughts

Talon lay in bed and thought about her apprentice. Was he the right one? He seemed eager to join the Sith and learn the Ways of the Dark Side but she thought that he was reluctant to embrace the ideals of the Rule of One. And she thought about other things about him too. He was very attractive for a 16 year old. 'No!' she told herself. She couldn't do that. She had to be strong to resist her urges. Besides, it would be dawn soon, and his training would begin. But as time went on and all she had was her thoughts, she sort of wishes she had a different apprentice… one she wasn't sexually attracted to…

Thrax couldn't stop thinking about her, his new master. She was so hot! 'Even if it was possible though… she probably wouldn't do it anyway' he thought. She probably though him too young and ugly anyway knowing his luck. However, Thrax was definitely looking forward to lightsaber training and being a Sith Lord. He could finally get revenge on the CEDF!

Part 5- Training

That morning, after she got dressed, Talon got up to wake Thrax but Thrax was already waiting in the living room.

"Morning Master Talon!" He said with a smirk as usual. "What's on today's schedule?"

"Today, we shall be practising lightsaber combat." Talon pulls a training lightsaber out of her pocket and throws it to him. He immediately snatches it out of the air and activates it expertly.

'I'm starting to think that there's not much I can teach him,' Talon thought. "That's a training lightsaber. It will only scorch and will never slice, perfect for training. There are seven main forms of lightsaber combat."

"Form I- The Way of the Sarlacc, or Shii-Cho, great for disarming an opponent.

Form II- The Way of the Ysalamiri or Makashi, perfect against other lightsaber users.

Form III- The Way of the Mynock or Soresu, a defensive movement that is effective against blasters.

Form IV- The Way of the Hawk-Bat or Ataru, an aggressive speedy and acrobatic form.

Form V- Way of the Krayt Dragon or Shien / Djem So, Shien is great for deflecting blaster bolts at targets and Djem So applies that to duels, blocking and using the energy to counter attack.

Form VI-The Way of the Rancor or Niman, a hybrid of the five previous forms into a defensive movement. Also a form that combines lightsaber combat and force techniques.

Form VII- The Way of the Vornskr or Juyo / Vaapad. Juyo is originally a Sith technique where you embrace your emotions into an emotionally aggressive form. Vaapad, however, is a Jedi technique designed into channelling an opponent's emotions back at them." For the next few hours, she showed Thrax all the forms. He caught on quite quickly and was able to do them effectively by the end.

"But all this is for nothing if you never you it." She activated her own Yorik coral lightsaber used by the One Sith so much and went into a Form V stance which fitted the One Sith as a way of honouring their founder. "Now let's duel!" Thrax went into a Form II stance, perfect for duelling other force-users. 'He's either had some training or he's one of the best naturals I've ever seen.' They stayed that way for a few seconds. Then Talon leaped forward only to be met by his training blade. She never would have killed him but this showed that he was very good regardless of where he came from. He whirled and used his training blade to score a mark on her side. He smirked. Talon was getting angry and frustrated and didn't hold back. She thrust forward but he jumped backwards and into a defensive motion. She raised her hand and he went flying backwards. He hit the wall but never let go of his lightsaber. Instead, he got up and ran almost faster than anyone Talon had ever seen. She was forced into Form II, into a defensive motion, until he swiped her lightsaber aside and held his to her throat.

He smirked. "You're dead Master."

Talon smiled. "Well done Thrax. Now we will work on some Force techniques." For hours they duelled in unarmed. "This will work on your precognition and battle precognition, if you have that ability."

Part 6- The Call

Over the next few hours and days, she taught Thrax many things such as Sith lightning, breath control, Force Healing, Force Stealth, Force Choke, Force Grip, Force Shield, Force Crush, Force Pull and Push and all sorts of abilities. It went very quickly because he was a natural even if he had been trained.

That night she contacted Nihl. He needed a status report anyway but he was the Dark Lord and she needed advice. The hologram of Nihl appeared. "Talon, Hand of the Sith. What is your status with the Chiss?"

"Over the past months I have made many allies in the four Houses. If they were asked to ally, I think they would." Talon replied.

"Good."

Before he could continue, she said "I have other news Master. Here is Cspilla, I found a powerful force-sensitive and have taken him as my apprentice. In under a month, he has learnt all the basics and advanced techniques to a high level. I have let him study Krayt's holocron and he is currently looking over it."

Nihl looked surprised. "You should have informed me long ago, but I will forgive you."

"Thank you Master. But what should I do now? I have finished on Cspilla and his apprenticeship is nearly complete. What will you have us do?"

"We must talk immediately. There has been an insurgency by one of our own. Darth Wredd killed his master and has since killed many of our infiltrators. We must kill him immediately otherwise this will all be nothing. Meet me at the Valley of the Dark Lords, oh and bring your apprentice. And remember Talon, your apprentice may have to kill you like you did your master."

"Of course Master. Anything for the Sith." Talon replied.

Nihl smiled and his hologram blinked out.

Talon finally let her facade slip. She wasn't ready to die and she certainly didn't want Thrax to kill her! She wanted to see him grow and see his achievements… and she didn't want someone she was attracted to killing her. Talon sighed and slipped into the covers of her bed and went to sleep.
