Kashyyyk
Tree House, Approaching noon.

Kashyyyk, it had been far too long since she had set her foot on its ground, the breathing nature around her filled her with a sensation of home. After her failed mission of hunting down a few Twi'lek and enslaving them she had decided to return to her 'home'. Litin walked across a path and looked up towards the tree tops. There was her new home. Litin was a person who had lived on many planets under different names, mostly the reason remained the same, to hunt Jedi. But this time, she was not out to hunt down a Jedi or track down and kill someone. 


No, this time, she was just here to meditate and relax. Every time she had considered returning to this foresty planet she had been offered a mission or she had run across a Jedi. Nevertheless she was glad to be back.

Climbing the stairs up to the tree house she unlocked the door with her key and dropped her bag onto the ground next to the door. The house wasn't the fanciest of the ones available, but she didn't really mind. Looking around the house she opened up any and all windows she came across to let the fresh air move through the rooms of the tree house, eventually she came across the bedroom, large double bed and plenty of wardrobes. After a brief scanning of the room she went to grab her bag and then dragged it back into the bedroom.

She tossed the bag onto the bed and then continued her walk around the house. As Litin came across a balcony door she was pleasantly surprised, the one who had rent her the house never mentioned it. But Litin didn't complain as it would be a fine spot for meditation. 


A few minutes later she had walked around the stem of the tree and found and looked into all the rooms in the house. Removing her pitch black robe she walked out onto the small balcony and put down a pillow. Thinking a little and looking up, the Echani decided that with the warmth of the sun it would get too hot to meditate if she wore too much. To make up with that she removed her shirt as well and sat down with folded legs on the pillow.

The cool air felt soothing against her bare skin as she sat there on the pillow, wearing a pair of long shorts and a bra covering her chest as well. After all, she was no nudist. Closing her eyes and putting her hands on her knees Litin slowed her breathing, taking deep breaths as she thought about recent events.

[Res]

It had been several hours since the Sith Master had come the tropical nightmare known as Kashyyyk. The planet was humid and didn't make Angelous satisfied over the Jedi she dispatched earlier. She was now making her way through the thick forest trying to get back to her ship. She wanted off this miserable excuse of a planet and as fast as she could. What made it worse was she would have to find a new cloak since the Jedi scum sliced a whole through it. So now she was prey to the beating sun of the planet. But she found relief under the canopy of trees every once in a while.

The woman walked for several more moments before stoping and sitting down. She was a little tired from the battle with the Jedi Knight. The Gran Jedi was skill but he was no match for her speed. The Gran was about brute force in his fighting. He made wide swooping swings with his saber which left him wide open. As she sat there a heard of Kashyyyk Banthas strolled passed her. There were several males and a couple of female. It seemed like they were just getting done with mating season with the signs that one or two of the banthas looked to be with child. Wiping the sweat from her forehead Angelous made her way through the jungle once more.

The battle had taken them far away from where they had started. She had planed this in a small way, she liked to toy with her pray, she liked to call them. She had started seeing several small huts in the trees as she made progress through the foliage. She wasn't sensing anything in them until she came to what looked like the last one. She couldn't see anybody but she could feel them. They were connected to the Dark Side. They weren't powerful enough to be more than a Knight. Though Lady Angelous was right about one thing the person was close but where were they and would she have to engage in another duel that day.

[Danee]

Silently Litin meditated on the balcony in the tree tops, everything was calm and peaceful. Taking deep breaths she stabilized her nerves and reached out into the surrounding area, scanning for any force users who might be in the vicinity who could be a problem.

Nothing, she was all alone. Or that's what she thought when the sound of movement on the ground caught her attention. Still no force user, that's good. A few more seconds passed and eventually something began to rub itself against her as she reached out to see the environment through the force. She recognized the feeling, it was another force user. But they felt different.

Normally the touch would have been warm and glowing, like a torch, but this felt cold. The Dark side, maybe? There was a possibility that there was a Dark Jedi in the area, maybe she could have some fun? Besides, a trophy is a trophy, Litin thought and stood up. Putting on her shirt again she walked into the bedroom and opened her bag.

There they lay, Light and Darkness. Taking the twin blades Litin holstered them and went to get her robes. The robe wrapped around her as she began to walk to a window and looked out down towards the ground. A single figure stood there, covered in black as well, Dark Jedi perhaps? The source felt stronger than the other Jedi's she had encountered, even stronger than her old Master. Biting the inside of her lip lightly she considered a few different routes of attack. She could just leap out from the door, grab her knife and slide with that down the tree trunk.

It seemed like the best way to approach the figure, as it would mean she would have the advantage of coming from above. Litin nodded and returned to her bedroom, taking out the pitch black mask and putting it on. She opened a bag that had been delivered to the house and took out the forearm long knife she had bought on Dxun so many years ago then returned to the main room.

Pushing up the door with the force slowly she looked at the opposing trunk, not too far away and the figure had been seen at the base of the tree. Grabbing Light with her left she activated it and took a brief breath, the knife felt heavier than normal in her right hand as she began to sprint towards the door.

With the help of the force and the height of the hutt she leaped out of the door and towards the tree trunk. Using the force of her movement she drove the knife into the tree trunk and began to slide down with it towards the force sensitive person. Light kept humming lowly as she moved down the tree trunk, getting closer and closer to the figure.

When Litin was about two meters up above the person she pushed against the tree, pulling the knife out and landed about three meters away from the dark figure. Burying the blade of the knife in the ground she straightened her back and took out Darkness. The red blade appeared and Litin looked at the figure, a woman, rather pale, maybe Echani like her?

"I see I have someone to play with. I hope you enjoy to dance." Litin said and spun her blades once, preparing for an attack of her own or a defense should the woman attack.

[Res]

Angelous stopped when she felt the figure move. The tremor in the Force caught the womans attention and she looked around for the source of the power. Not reaching for her saber until she figured out what it was that was coming toward her. Standing there her mind stated to reach out with the force. She used it to enhance her hearing trying to pick up any sound she could. Glancing from treetop to treetop she readied herself, the figure was approaching.

With her hearing enhanced the Force she heard the sound of a saber igniting. Reaching for her own she activated it and held it in her right hand to her side at an angle. The Sith Lady spotted the being sliding down a tree trunk with a ignited red saber. Observing the acrobatics of the person Lady Angelous didn't waver. Standing her ground the Human Sith smirked as the person landed. She made a note of the agility of the Dark Jedi though she wasn't going to be a match for Sith Master. Watching her discard the knife and reveal a second saber before speaking.

Lady Angelous observed the being that was standing before her. She was slightly taller than Angelous and covered in black with a mask cover her face. When she spoke it made Angelous chuckle slightly, it was amusing to her that a Dark Jedi was so sure they could beat a Sith Master. Not saying a word she sound her saber and held it parallel in front her face and then with the same motion it was back at her side.

"Such confidants in such a weakling. I've already delt with one annoyencd today I think I can deal with a welp like you"

Finishing her words Angelous picked up a tree branch and hurled it at the person. With them destracted by that she moved in to strike. With several swift movents with her saber trying to land a blow to any area she could. The fist strike was to the turso on the left then coming around the the right she swung again. She wasn't going to utilize her pestered style Makashi until she figured out how the enemy was going to combat her Shii-cho.

[Danee]

Litin looked at the pale woman, she seemed confident, not that Litin had beaten a confident person before. Looking at the single blade she wielded Litin noticed the curved hilt, Makashi maybe? Her master had told her that some force users opted to use curved blades for some styles, but she couldn't really remember whether Makashi users would use them.

Nevertheless she didn't have a lot of time to think before a branch was thrown at her, using Light she split the branch and watched it fall down to the ground in front of her. A brief moment later the Dark Jedi flew towards her with her saber. Raising Darkness she blocked the attack on her right with ease, the attack itself didn't seem so thought through but Litin couldn't plan a counterattack as she was attacked again.

Catching the blade with Light and swinging Darkness through the air towards the hip of the Dark Jedi. Litin's opponent however didn't feel like a Dark Jedi though, perhaps she was a Sith? Her presence felt different, colder rather than her master's had. But nevertheless she would try and fight her as much as she could.

[Res]

Angelous pushed the one saber and blocked the other with her saber. She knew somehow she needed to her opponent down to one saber. It wasn't that she couldn't take her with the twin sabers but through experience one was a lot easier to defend against two. Once she was clear of the sabers the Sith jumped and flipped backwards landing by the knife that the Dark Jedi had used before.

"Is that all you have you pitiful excuse for a Dark Sider? Your master must really be dissapointed in you."

The woman was trying to draw every ounce of fight out of the young Dark Jedi. Seeing a rock next to her she lifted kt with the force and held it out. With minimal easy she closed her hand and the rock shattered. Lasy Angelous smirked as she did when she knew she was psyching the enemy out. It was only a few moments from the last onslaught of attacks but this time she wanted her opponent to make the first move. She stood there with her saber angled at her side waiting for the attack. She could feel the womans conflict and anger. The Sith Master fed on that she knew she could use it to bring this welp down.

Just then a breeze whipped through the trees. It felt good on her pale sweaty face. The black tunic was making it hotter jnt he sun but she had no time to take it off. Plus she had really nothing on underneath it. Taking in the cool breeze she got a whiff of the Bantha that she came across. They were doubling back this direction and she possibly could make that work to her advantage. Though they moved slowly, so she would have to hold her off untilthen. Twillering her saber she readied for the attack from the kid.

[Danee]

As the pale Dark Jedi blocked Lititn's attack and moved back, jumping over her before she could attack again. Litin could see her land next to her knife as she turned around, smirking under her mask as her opponent tried to taunt her. As she raised a rock and crushed it with the force Litin raised a brow. 

Sighing slightly and she looked down at the jungle floor, thinking on how to attack the pale woman. Litin smirked under her mask and looked up at her, she pushed against the ground and angled her sabers downwards and backwards as she closed the distance between the two. When she was within strike distance she used her momentum to raise her left blade, Light, towards her waist. However she did not move Darkness to attack, instead she'd try to utilize the fact she used two blades to confuse the pale Jedi. If Angelous moved her blade to block the strike it would meet nothing, as Litin would deactivate Light. When she stood behind her she'd attack with Darkness towards Angelous' back. 

[Res]

The Sith Master stood there anticipating the actions of the young Dark Jedi. She heard and smelt the bantha getting closer, she readied herself. It was going to throw the woman off and it would make Angelous happy, well as happy as a Sith could be. The woman saw the left saber lower slightly, it meant she was about to attack. The Sith Lady could now feel the ground shacking, the banthas were almost there. It all happened quickly.

The Dark Jedi leaped toward Angelous and with one swift movement she grabbed the knife using the Force and jumped onto the bantha. From there she leaped onto of the branch, but she then felt a small burning sensation kn her back. Reaching back she felt a small burn on the small of her back. She winced as she touched it, she had to give the kid one thing she was clever. Also she knew how to make the wrong people mad. Once the bantha cleared out the Sith threw the knife at Litin. After doing so she leaped down and with an over head slice she tried to catch the woman off guard since she only had one saber activated at the time. Angelous after land from the attack did a spinning kick at the left hand of Litin to try and remove the saber. Now she not only needed a new cloak but a new shirt as well.

After kicking she made several strikes this time she switched into Makashi. The strikes were smooth and flowing, this was to try and tire her out. The Sith started to shift her feet like she was dancing, making small jabs and cuts with her saber. Blocking in coming strike with little effort, she was trying to drive her back to an open area. While she methodically attacked Litin she spoke her voice with slight annoyance.

"I never thought a small pitiful whelp like you would land a hit me. You're impressive, you're also strong in the Dark Side of the Force. You would make a fine Sith Apprentice, with the right Master."

[Danee]

As the sudden appearance of a couple Bantha caught Litin off guard she noticed that her opponent had jumped away from her and up onto them and onto a low hanging branch. Perhaps Litin undrestimated her opponent but when the cocky Jedi seemed to feel uncomfortable by something she knew her attack had hit her at least.

Litin moved out of the way for the moving Bantha, and as they left the area she could hear movement in the air, drawing her attention upwards to look at the source. Seeing her knife fly through the air tiwards her she moved to the side, hearing it strike against the ground along with Angelous flying towards her as well she raised Darkness and blocked the strike that seemed to be aimed at her head from above.

After the block she felt the force of Angelous' boot against her left wrist, making her drop the deactivated Light lightsaber onto the ground. But, being prepared for sticky situations like this one Litin moved her hand into her robe, releasing a different hilt and taking it out as she backed towards what seemed to be an open area. Somewhat sloppily she deflected the attacks juat barely, although her robe did receive some cuts and her arm now had a few cuts from Angelous' blade.

As the two moved into the larger more open space she finally got out the hilt she was looking for. Light moved from the ground it had landed on and Litin used the force to leap a couple of feet away from Angelous as her original blade moved into her robe. Grasping the new hilt with her left she moved her hand so it would seem that she was carrying one blade like the Sith in front of her. 

Litin moved closer again,  moving Darkness downwards through the air she spread her arms briefly, igniting the new lightsaber, followed by a green glow which she used to strike towards Angelous' own saber while Darkness moved toward her shoulder.

[Res]

((Disclaimer: Alaari agreed for Litin to be hit by the lightening prior to this post.))


The Sith drove the Dark Jedi back into the clearing. Making the small strikes that Makashi was known for. She was proficient in the style and had dispatched many of Jedi with it. The agenda had now changed from what it was at the start of the duel. Angelous started out trying to kill the young Dark Sider, now she bad a better plan. Lady Angelouswas going to convert her to the Sith Order and make Litin her Apprentice. Not being able to stop her from retrieving her lost saber. Angelous was waiting patiently as the woman leaped back and ignited the green saber generally associated with Jedi.

As the Litin charged toward Angelous stuck out her arm and shot bolts of lightning toward the Dark Jedi. It flew through the air toward the woman. The Sith Master was sure that it was going to hit it's mark. So Master Angelous shot another into the body of the Dark Jedi. So confident in her power the person formally known as Teresa walked over and peered down at Litin.

"I am Lady Angelous and I am yoru new Master. If you wish to live you will join me. If you chose not to then, let's just say you will be begging for me to kill you."

Angelous said in her calm cool voice. It was almost monotoned, with little inflection in her voice. The Sith Master held her blade at the Dark Jedi and using the force took the mask off to see her face. Her icy eyes and silver hair gave away that the woman was an Echani. She had can into very few of these, they were know for their skill in a fforym of martial arts that they started learning at a very young age. Well that's what she had read in the books her mother gave her to read when she was growing up. But some how she didn't utilized any in the right, was it because she wasn't taught any or was it she was holding back. Nevertheless Angelous was the victor, so that what it looked like.

[Danee]

The time slowed down as Litin moved closer towards Angelous, she could feel her heart beating in her chest as she moved closer and closer inch after inch she saw the Sith raise her hand, it felt like she did it in slow motion and a moment later everything sped up to normal. Litin cried out in pain as she felt the lightning rush through her body. She crashes against the ground and lands on her back, crying out in pain once more as another wave of lighting was sent through her again.

Litin is breathing heavily when she heard the voice of her opponent and felt her mask get unlocked and removed. "I'm your new Master." rang in Litin's head as she looked up into the one who called herself Lady Angelous. She closed her eyes, ignoring the pain and breathes slowly. "... D-...dream on!" She groaned, moving her arm and channeling the force through her to push the Sith away from her and got up from the ground. Groaning and straightening her back. "I am Litin Atia, Echani, you have to do better than that." She groaned and raised her lightsabers once more to prepare for the attack.

[Res]

"Ha, you think you can beat me. Was that a youngling that you got that saber from. Cause that's the only Jedi you could beat."

Angelous mocked the Dark Jedi again. She knew Litin was strong, why else would she want her as her Apprentice. But she also knew if Litin knew she herself was strong enough to defeat a Sith Master. What would be the point of Angelous becoming her Master. After being pushed back by the Force Angelous deactivated her saber. She even went as far as clipping it back on to her waist. The Sith Master saw that that Litin was ready to go again. Reaching out the woman grabbed the Echani by the throat and picked her up.

"If you want to become powerful enough to defeat any opponent that you come up against, Jedi or Sith, I can show you that power. I feel your hatred toward them, it is the same as mine. The Jedi scum will fall before your blade each and every time you face them. I can sense your hunger for that power. Join me and you will become more powerful than any Jedi."

Teresa realised the younger woman and watched her fall to the ground. Shejjust stood over her and wondered if she would have to persuade her any further. The Sith Master smirked as to her finally having another Apprentice, her first was so powerful. But this one, this one had the desire and power that she liked. Angelous had a feeling that Litin would become very powerful under her guidance.

[Danee]

Litin looked at the sith in the eyes as she deactivated her lightsaber and put it away, blinking slightly and lowered her own blades slightly, something she regretted as she felt Angelous grab her by the throat and lift her off the ground, her toes not being able to touch it.

Litin bit her tongue and closed her eyes, thinking over her options. The lightning rush through her had left her weaker than usual and she was getting exhausted, and the sith in front and below her had some good points. Deactivating Darkness and the green blade as she was dropped to the ground she rubbed her throat slightly and made up her mind. She felt Angelous' eyes upon her and swallowed slowly, she stood up on a knee and bowed her head for Angelous. "Y... yes... Master..."

[Res]

Standing as straight as she could. The Sith Master was barely taller than her new Apprentice when she knelt. Well, first one was a foot tall than me, now this one is half that. Angelous thought as she smirked, using the force she called the crimson blade saber that was on the ground to her hand. Inspecting it, it was a work of art the light saber. No two Force users sabers are exactly alike. Yes, the apprentice puts similarities in their saber to honor their Master. Though the full saber is unique to its user, and it is bound to them through the Force. Motioning for her to rise, Angel make her way to a rock to sit.

"You've impressed me Litin. You are the first to cut me in a long time. It is very hard to impress me. That is why I have made you my Apprentice. As of now you are part of the Sith Order. And you heed to the commands of myself and the Inner Sanctum."

The Sith Master said as she winced sitting down. The cut on her lower back was going to be a reminder of how powerful her new apprentice Litin was. She shrouded her pain and everything she was feeling from Litin. She was going to hide everything she could from the young Echani as long as she could. Lady Angelous didn't intend to leave with an apprentice hut she was. And she wasn't that disappointed in the outcome. She looked up at the Echani woman. It wasn't every day that you run into another Jedi Hunter on a planet like Kashyyyk.

"Now your first task to treat my wound"

[Danee]

Litin looked as her new Master took her lightsaber from the ground and looked at it, she sighed and rubbed her throat where Angelous' hand had held her, she followed her over to the rock and stood in front of her. Hearing that she had impressed Angelous she nodded. "Thank you... Master." she said and listened to what she had to say.

When she told her that her first task was to treat the wound she had made on her back she sighed and bit her tongue so she didn't say anything in appropriate. "That's nothing I can do as of right now, as I have no medical equipment with me down here, we'll have to move to my house up in the trees. But first, I want my saber back." She said and held out her right hand, once she had it in her hand she'd begin to walk towards the staircase that lead up the tree, making sure to move her mask and knife with the force to her.

[Res]

Nodding to her new Apprentice as she thanked her. Angel wasn't one to dish out compliments but in this case she made an exception. The young Echani was a strong fighter and would make a find Sith Knight one day. But that day was far, far away. Looking up as the woman she knew that they would part way for a while because they had their own ship and Angelous didn't know what Litin had on her mind for after this. This event wasn't planned and certainly in welcomed at first by Angel. Holding bback her pain he stood and still had to look up Apprentice. She didn't realize she had not handed her saber back to her. Reluctantly doing so she watched her leave and grab her knife along with her mask. She didn't like the ending of Litins statement but that would be addressed later.

"Very well let's move up there."

Following her up to the tree house. Climbing the stairs put unwanted pain in the lower back of the Sith Master. Sith her force healing abysmal it would take her weeks to heal. Though she was just happy that but was over her left eye.but her tattoo had been blemished, it would've been like face what the tattoo was of. They had reached the top of the stairs and Angelous waited for the younger woman to open the door. Entering the house, she glanced around and took in her surroundings. She wanted to know the quickest exits in case something happened as she would need to make a quick get away. She turned Litin and spoke in her calm voice.

"Any inquiries about the Order? And personal questions are not allowed."

[Danee]

Litin led her new master up the stairs that moved around the large tree trunks and up towards the house that she had rented for a couple of weeks and once inside she moved to her bedroom and opened the bag, putting away the mask, the three lightsabers and her robe before returning to her, watching her take in the surroundings of the house. Litin walked up to a black bag and took out some bandages and some other disinfectants.

"Not really, turn around." She said and when she did she'd begin to clean the wound that she had inflicted on her new master's back.
