Callings of Darkness

[Foxfire]

Cho Wroth had tried many a time to take on a learner, but to no avail. The most he got out of a new learner is that they would like too, then they would start to craw-fish for be driven off by the other Sith at the temple. He would try once again calling too the force to lead some one who would be worthy of the position of being Wroth's student and follower.

Sitting at the far wall of a training court that has come to be known as the traitor's canyon, Cho sat at the farthest wall from the mouth of the canyon. Meditating on a boulder the size of a star fighter he called out into the force. Mixing his own signature to the call he let it drift upon the winds of the force spreading all over the surface of Korriban, then letting it drift into space.

Come child seek me out and great power and strength will be yours for the taking.

Those words echoed in the physical world as well as the empty halls of the force carried by the primal power that Cho oh so loves to tap into. The Rakata trainer was the best trainer for him and he wanted that same training for his student. He had to pass it on or otherwise give the information about it to another before the winds of war changed everything.

Sol had felt a presence tug at his soul as he surfed the cosmos aboard his ship. He was overcome by a calling, one so strong that it altered his plans. Sol had taken control of his ship, steering it off of it's preset course, and began letting the Force guide him to what tugged at him so vigorously. A voice spoke out to him, offering him the power he had so strongly strived for. He sailed through the stars, following the pull of the Force for what seemed like an eternity. Just before he thought it would to be no avail, a planet had come up on his radar. It was one he was not familiar with, but the call was too strong for his reason and he began to descend.

His ship had landed on the dry planet, kicking up dust as it did. A ramp lowered from the under-belly of the ship as he made his way down it. As he set foot on the strange planet, Sol could feel a strong presence of the Darkside here. As he looked around, the call had only become stronger. It pulled him in certain direction as if guiding him, his body no longer having control of it's decisions. He wandered the planet for a period of time before coming to a giant rock, one that could shadow his smaller ship. Atop the rock was a being that radiated a Force signature that he had never felt before.

For some reason, Sol already knew who this being was and his significance in his own life. Sol leaped from a few smaller boulders below until he landed ontop of the massive rock, standing before this being. He would kneel, because it felt natural, before this life form.

The Force has brought me to you. Is it you the Force has deemed the one to further my service to the Dark side?

[Foxfire]

For a great while Cho felt nothing coming back from the force but the hollow echo. Then a singular ping, a sounding in the deep of the force called back to him. On getting the responce he poured more of the force power into the calling. The signature was ever so faint for a long period. Then the echo became more that just that it gave off it's own calling into the force. Cho was pleased at this and watched and waited as the return calling grew stronger with each passing moment.

Soon the force call was clear and forceful with this he readied himself for he knew that soon the one the force chose for him would make themselves known. Sure enough a young human came into view making his way into the canyon and to finally kneel before him. For the very first time in a very long while Cho smiled with in as he heard those fatefull words.

The Force has brought me to you. Is it you the Force has deemed the one to further my service to the Dark side?

With his eyes stil closed he spoke outwardly and with in the force.

Have you endured pain? Are you embracing the pain life has given you? And .... are you willingly going to fully join the darkside of the force no matter the course that it takes?

Cho let the questions ride upon the echoing wind of the force for a moment.

. . . .

If your answers are YES to these then I am the one who will make your journey to the dark side complete. I am Honog of the Sith. I will show you both the burning power and the brutal pain of the darkness and if you are truly worthy I shall give you an even greater gift, the 'Teaching of the Way'. It will let you tap into the deeper primal side of the force an area of which few even know about.

Opening his eyes letting the red glow of the burning primal force flowing through him shine. Raising to his feet the air grew with the static electricity of the primal force. An unseen wind whipped his robes around slowly as he neared the young one. Coming to a stop before him Honog(Cho) awaited this ones answer.

[Malice]

Sol, still kneeling with his head bowed, would answer.

Yes, embracing the Dark side, I've turned my pain into power and I will do whatever it takes to further myself in the Dark side.

He could feel the ominous presence of the being before him approach until he could feel him standing before him. The young Darksider remained kneeling and head bowed.

I am Cifer Ragnos, and I pledge myself to your teachings, Honog.

(Sorry for the extreme shortness. xD Trust when I say-- It won't be a constant thing.)

[Foxfire]

Honog listened with care to the words that were spoken and to the suttle changes with in the young-one's force. Feeling and seeing all his words were true and in line with his mind-set Cho gathered a small bit of force energy to his hand. Placing his hand upon the right shoulder ready to etch a hand print upon the dark one as a sign to all around that this one was his student.

Will you take my mark as sign of your loyalty to me and follow me always?

He was thrilled to the propects of having a student and what was more some one who had no fear of the light nor the bewilderment of the darkness that lay before him. The testing and working of this one was going to be like what he endured at the Rakata temple. What was more he was going to give this one the full run down of noghri stava fighting. Alot was going to be taught and hopefully they had the time needed for this one to complete Honog's train.

[Malice]

Sol could feel a sudden shift in the Force as a hand was rested upon his shoulder. That alone made Sol feel himself immerse deeper in the Darkside. The young one would raise his head to Honog, pulling back his hood to reveal himself to his Master-to-be.

Will you take my mark as sign of your loyalty to me and follow me always?

With eyes that harbored an insatiable hunger for power, he answered.

I will carry the mark with pride, my Master.

He could feel the Darkside of the force flow through him stronger than he had before by being in the presence of a Master in the Force. Sol could feel himself setting down the path the Dark Will of the Force had put him one, one that will lead him to the power he hungers for. A stray gust ran along the massive rock they stood upon, catching Sol' robes, tossing them around as he awaited Honog' reply.

[Foxfire]

Honog looked upon his student with the startings pf pride. Letting his eyes flare Honog loosed the primal wall letting it flow from him through to the young one. As it did it would etch a clawed hand upon the shoulder of the student. The mark was not a scortching or a burning but a scaring but the primal power of the force. It would not hinder nor enhance but what it would do is give his student a marker, a force signature reminder, as to guide him link him to the primal power of the force.

Letting the flow ebb away after a few seconds Honog could feel the force effect that the scarring had done. Removing his hand and stepping back Honog said.....

Rise and follow me MY student! You have much to learn and much more too work on before you to can tap into what you have just felt, The Primal Power of the Force.

[Malice]

Sol' entire being could feel an entirely different power surge through his body. It overwhelmed him for a second before it slowly faded, leaving Sol behind with an even more powerful hunger. The small taste of the primal side of the Force adde more fuel to the fire that burned within him and the mark given to him would symbolize his full dedication. When Honog lifted his hand from Sol' shoulder, he would rise.

Yes, my Master. What is the Primal Power of the Force?

He'd ask, following his new master. He'd look around at the desolate planet, dry and seemingly inhabitable. For some reason, Sol felt a strong connection here. He felt as if he had been here, the feeling of familiarity. The orange tint in the sky to the dust filled air as the wind swepped across the planet.

This place, it feels so familiar.

[Foxfire]

Honog looked at his new student and listened to his words. He too had felt the same way at first. The not knowing why was the hardest part until he learned the history of the planet. The Rakata had once held sway over this planet which is why they were drawn to this place. One of the many dark force hot spots.

As for now all this one need to know was that the primal power of the force has a great hold upon this place. Also that the dark ones gathering here and training their wild force powers were also that small part of the primal power.

This world is a nexus of the primal force power. That is why those who have already touched the primal ways have been drawn here, many to search out this power others to cut it way by their wantent need of being overly focused and closing their mind to the dangerous side of the primal powers that hold sway upon this planet.

Honog eased to the edge of the rock to look down to the flattened surface of the training floor.

Now my student let's test out how strong you are and how much pain you can handle.
