Rock Shifted.
A new passage formed from the Outer Core to the Deep Core. A dim green light entered through this tunnel.
Aside from this glow, all that could be seen was darkness.

Vehem's heart was pounding in his ear. He was almost there now, he could feel it in his soul. All that he couls see was a vast black sea. The green glow of his lightsaber barely penetrated enough for him to find his way. Then A noise, like beasts escaping from captivity. He heard them, running up towards the surface.

A torch lit up.
Then another.
Soon, a soft glow of fire illuminated the grim ruins of what was once a temple. But even before there was time for the youth's eyes to adjust, one of the Tuk'ata beasts of Subterrel leapt out of the shadows and pounced at Vehem.
A voice whispered in the boy's mind.
[glow=purple,2,300]Raise thy weapon[/glow]

He quickly brought up the green blade of light, slicing at the beast. It let out a demonic roar, and vanished into the shadows. Vehem could still hear it. Now though, he was concerned about that voice.
Wh-who said that? He asked the darkness.

A row of torches lit up through the ruins, leading deeper still, and inside of a remaining structure of the ruins. The entryway was marked with illegible markings. The path led up unto an altar, where a small pyramidal structure sat.

Vehem nodded, knowing the voice could tell. He de-activated his lightsaber. He followed the pathway, lit by the hellish glow of hundreds of torches, to the alter. Gazing down he saw the small pyramid.

The topmost portion of the pyramid unfolded, unleashing a dim glow. Following this was a bolt of pain through the boy's skull, which lasted for what seemed like and eternity, before the voice again called out, along with a thousand torches alighting in the tomb.
[glow=purple,2,300]I am Everos, and you will serve me... Vehem...[/glow]

When the pyramid opened, Vehem began clawing at his skull in pain. The voice spoke again and Vehem raised his eyes to look at it.
Who are you, Lord Everos? he asked, felling a vortex of invisible power creating a maelstrom around him in a deafining roar. He wasn't sure if it was real or just in his mind, like the voice.

Light illuminated a pair of skeletal corpses a few hundred feet away. Particular light shone on one skeleton which seemed to have been fractured many many times over.
[glow=purple,2,300]This is me. I am the Dead. And I am the Undying. I have achieved the epoch of all knowledge of The Force. I have done what no Sith before me has done before. I am immortal. [/glow]
The voice said, taking a rather long pause after the word 'Immortal'.

Again the pain shot through the youth's head.
[glow=purple,2,300]Foolish boy! You serve only out of fear. A Sith does not feel fear. We use it. We control it. Fear is not obedience.[/glow]
Everos's voice shouted in his head, the pain subsided. The holocron's tip opened wider. Suddenly, it grew very dark within the tomb.
[glow=purple,2,300]You will serve out of submission...[/glow]
His voice called, before the most excruciating pain the Force has ever known ravaged young Vehem's body, for as long as it would take for him to submit, to beg for mercy, to obey.
A fine initiation.
(Ouch, sorry about that.)

Indescribible pain. That was all the Vehem knew for what seemed like an eternity. It felt as though lightning was ripping through his body. He fell to his knees, then completly to the ground. His lightsaber shorted out, and spat bronze fire into the darkness. It fell from his hand and rolled out of sight.
Eventually he could muster the willpower to speak. Yes, Lord.... he half shouted, half whispered in a small, almost begging voice.

The pain would not cease. The room began to shake as the holocron's tip rotated. Through the shocks, Everos spoke to the youth.
[glow=purple,2,300]"This, apprentice, is called dominance. Only through pain and suffering does one control another. Only through control is there peace. This will be your life. You will know this pain always. Even should you succeed, you will feel this. Should you fail, you will know a worse pain. That is punishment. If you submit, you will never know punishment. This life of pain, my aprentice-"[/glow]
The pain ceased.
[glow=purple,2,300]"-is dominance."[/glow]
The apprentice's weapon rolled across the ground towards the boy.
[glow=purple,2,300]"Take thy weapon. Take it, and bear it for thy master."[/glow]

He took the weapon, and looked it over in the darkness.
Master, this is almost nothing more than a training saber. I never became more than a youngling in the Order. How can I bear a mere practice weapon for you?, bracing himself for that deathly pain again as the question slipped over his lips.

A laugh from the Dark Lord.
[glow=purple,2,300]"You do not know the power of the Sith. It is a great power. The greatest of all. The Darkness."[/glow]
Darkness engulfed the boy's training saber, surrounded by swirling ash. As it subsided, the weapon revealed itself as transformed. The once pale metal hilt was now blackened and twisted, a sharpened hilt on both ends. The green blade replaced by a fiery deep orange.
[glow=purple,2,300]"You will bear this weapon of your Master. My power will be your power. Your body will be my body. You will serve, and you will be strong."[/glow]
The voice said, less thretening than ever, the cool voice of truth.

The young man gazed in wonder at the beautiful object of destruction in his hands. He held it upright and with a deadly snap-hiss a hellish orange blade sprang into being. Vehem could feel the power.
What is thy bidding, my Master?

Torches blew out and new ones lit up around a small circle carved into the stone on the floor of the ruins.
[glow=purple,2,300]"You will take this weapon and bring it with you to Muunilist. The sith are scattered, broken, a mockery of what they once were. But under you... under you they will be united. They will be strong again. And you will make them my army. And then, you will take my army and make war. War on the Republic, war on the Jedi, war, my Apprentice... on peace."[/glow]
Suddenly, another Tuk'ata beast came forward out of the shadows, stepping into the circle and hissing at Vehem. Soon the hissing could be seen as speech, as some language the boy did not know. No longer was this a mere beast, but a noble creature, fierce and strong.
[glow=purple,2,300]"But first, I will make you strong, so that you may make others strong in my name. This is one of my hounds, a beast chained to my will, just as you are. You will face this beast in the circle, and you will learn the ways of the Dark Side."[/glow]

MATCH COMBAT
The Tuk'ata took a step forward and then lunged at the youth, claws bearing.
(Yeah, that sucked.)

Match Combat Accepted
A snarl of anger erupted from Vehem as the orange fire burst from the hilt of his lightsaber. He brought it up, not in defense, but to attack. He struck out at the beast, aiming on burning from its throat all the way through to its intestines.
