Chapter 1- Knightship

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. Her apprentice, a clone name Thrax, is a natural. But Darth Wredd has initiated an insurgency, killing all One Sith infiltrators. After converting the Chiss Ascendancy, Talon and Thrax must journey to Korriban to meet with Dark Lord Nihl and decide their next move…

139 ABY, after Wredd's Insurgency begins

Csilla, Chiss Homeworld, City of Csaplar, Talon's House

Thrax had been up for a few hours, after morning training, he had breakfast then had some dark meditation. During his meditation, embracing images of anger and power, when he suddenly he saw darkness and experienced a shark stab of pain. He saw a vision of a dark throne with a cyborg Dark Lord atop it. At his side Jedi and Sith obeyed his orders and embraced the Dark Side. And at his feet are the corpses of Talon and saw himself in chains for all time. 'You cannot stop me' he heard. He saw the cyborg Dark Lord's face very clearly and heard one name. Then he opened his eyes. "Darth Wredd."

It was after a few hours of pondering his vision when Talon walked into the living room. Again, he realised that she was so hot! He had to supress his thoughts so she didn't notice him. He sensed that something was up. "What is it Master?"

"We have to leave, immediately. We'll be meeting the Dark Lord in person on Korriban," she replied.

Thrax bristled. He immediately thought of the cyborg Dark Lord, Darth Wredd. But it couldn't be him, surely. Talon must have noticed, but continued on, "One of our own has led an insurgency against us."

"Who was it Master?"

"Darth Wredd," she replied.

Thrax signed inwardly. They wouldn't be meeting Wredd then.

"There is something else I wanted to tell you…" she continued. "We'll be going on a mission and your apprenticeship is up… The One Sith have the apprentice usually kill their master. But I don't want to die yet. So we shall say that you are still my apprentice but you shall be a Knight of the Sith and continue training with myself, teaching you advanced techniques that I have seen or know of."

"Ok, master. When do we leave?"

"Immediately, but there's 2 last things we need to do."

Thrax looked up and started to pay more attention.

"Kneel."

Thrax knelt before Talon. She activated her lightsaber and laid it against his two shoulders. "My apprentice, you are now a Knight of the Sith. With your knightship, you must take a Darth name. What will you call yourself?"

Thrax pondered this for a while. Eventually he said, "Darth Ketzer"

She nodded. "A fitting name," she said. "Now come, we must leave. One last thing, always be on your guard. Although he is our Dark Lord, he is not to be trusted."

"How come?"

"He has been my rival for years." She turned and walked out of the room. Ketzer, formally Thrax, rose a new man and followed his master to the shuttle.

Korriban, Valley of the Dark Lords

Ketzer disembarked from the shuttle, which had landed in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

'Korriban, the homeworld of the original Sith, of who we follow their legacy as a Knight of the One Sith,' Ketzer thought.

He followed Talon, his gorgeous master, to the Sith Academy where he would meet the Dark Lord of the One Sith. As they approached the door, Talon stopped and turned to him.

"As a member of the One Sith, prove your membership by using the Force to open the door," Talon said to him.

Ketzer let go of his physical body and saw in his mind the mechanism of the door. He wanted the lock to unlock and he wanted it now. He heard the sound of the door unlocking and smiled. He opened his eyes and saw Talon smiling at him. "Good work, Ketzer." She continued into the academy and Ketzer followed.

They walked into the centre of the academy and she stopped. "I know they're there Nihl. You don't need to hide in the shadows." She turned to the right and out the Dark Lord came from the Sith dormitory.

"Greetings Talon. Is this your apprentice?" the Dark Lord asked as he removed his hood.. He obviously must be Darth Nihl, he had black hair and was a Nagai. At his right hand was his long-handed lightsaber. But he remembered Talon's words and remained on guard.

"Yes this is my apprentice, his name is Darth Ketzer," Talon replied as she removed her own hood. Ketzer's hand remained at his doubled-bladed yorik coral lightsaber, which he had made during his apprenticeship.

"It is okay, young Sith. You're among friends here." Nihl clipped his lightsaber onto his back.

"Master Nihl, what will you have us do for our mission?" Talon asked

"One of our own, Darth Wredd is about to instigate an insurgency. We found this out from one of our operatives before he died at Wedd's hands. His is currently in the Carreras System, in Carreras Major and has killed the entire One Sith population in the system. The governor now lets him do whatever he wants. Make your way there and assassinate him or at least stop his activities in that system…"

"By any means necessary?" Ketzer asked.

Nihl looked at him surprised that he spoke. "… yes, by any means necessary." Talon looked at him and smiled.

"Go there immediately, regardless if you succeed or not, message me over the HoloNet and we will meet again." And at that he turned and left through the front entrance.

"It's time to go Ketzer." He turned and saw her smiling and walking back through the back entrance, where they came in. Keter reflected over how the meeting had went, and thought it went pretty well.
