 ((This is where most of the Dark Jedi RP will go on. For now, the Temple is the one those light side wimps built for their own luxury. We've changed it a bit, of course. No luxury has been taken away, but certainly darker colors have been employed in the redecoratiing, and we've installed a great many new training facilities to offer excercises in the exquisite art that is the Dark Side. Ultimate Power will be ours!))

Eothain's Quarters
Eothain BlackRaven lounges in his large suite, a room that used to be three Dackktan Jedi council members' quarters until he took a sledgehammer to the walls and renovated. Since driving the Light Jedi out of their Temple and moving in, he has done much to the spacious room, enjoying in the luxuries that comes with being one so influential.
In the years that followed the Fall of the Light Jedi on Dackktan, Eothain continued to train under his Master, Xanta Shozar, learning the path of the Darkside and spreading the word to those eager to learn. Xanta taught him to rise above the weak and pushed him to his limits and well beyond. Emotion, he was taught, is a valuable tool. Anger and hate can drive a man to do a great many things. Eothain's will turned to bronze and as the years went on, became more and more ambitious. With Xanta to guide him he was soon elevated to Dark Jedi Master and both men oversaw the continual growth and strengthening of the now Dark Jedi Temple of Dackktan.
Sitting alone in his dimly lit room, Eothain quietly contemplates the future of the Order. With everyday comes new recruits willing to learn the art of swordplay and master manipulation; eager apprentices willing to learn to use the darkside of the Force for personal gain.
Eothain smirks as he stares at a lit candle, casually running his fingers through its dancing flame.
The fire of the Darkside will never extinguish...

A distinctly-marked ship docks itself in the nearby spaceport, and a slim young woman disembarked, her gray eyes stone-cold. She brushed her discolored hair out of her face, revealing tattoos on her arm; they were obviously her way of showing she wanted to be different. She wore darkened clothing and a dark robe, indicating that she had been around.
Xiaoxing walked the halls of the temple, taking into account the layout, memorizing the rooms locations. Her boots made a distinct sound as she walked, her swift, even steps making her sound more like a battle droid than an initiate. She raised her chin, indicating that she was proud.
Xiao eventually stops, looks around, and raises her eyebrows. "I'm here," she whispered.

Xiao glanced around. "Pathetic," she spat. The place reeked of Lightsiders. Everything she touched, saw, or smelled seemed to omit some kind of whisper in the back of her mind. She distorted her face and shook her head. Now wasn't the time to be bothered by this.

Courtyard
Xanta walked into the open from where he had been hidden in the courtyard, walking up to Xiaoxing.
Sickeningly bright, isn't it? That, though, shall be easily remedied. Osaka Xiaoxing, I presume? Your reputation precedes you, though doubtlessly mine does not. I am Xanta Shozar, Blessed of the Light, Conqueror of the Inferno, and, finally, Dark Jedi Master.
It truly is amazing how long the sense of the Light lingers. We conquered this planet over a decade ago, and we can not seem to get rid of it.
Come...can I make you at home?

Xiao eyed Xanta, eventually giving a distainful snort. "It perverts the atmosphere," she mumbled. She gave a small bow, recognizing his acute Force sensetivity. It wasn't quite a way of showing respect... more of a polite gesture to a stranger.
"Make me at home..? Sounds like a plan," she said, standing up straight again.

Xanta smiled at Xiaoxing, gesturing broadly with his arm to precede him.
Come then, what first? Do you wish to be shown to your quarters, or perhaps would you like to sample some of our fine cuisine? The cook is a former Light-sider, the finest in the realm, and I must say that Master Hetzon did have fine taste in food if nothing else. What shall it be?

Xiao stiffened. "My quarters, definetly. I don't have much of an appetite right now," she said flatly, following Xanta. Whatever image she was giving off right now, Xiaoxing knew that it wasn't the wrong one. She wasn't sure where she had lost her sense of humor, but she did know that it had been replaced by a lust for power. According to a former Jedi acquaintance, the Dark Side had perverted her mind. She had smited him on the spot, not willing to accept such accusations.
She nearly glowed with bottled up emotion. She was the perfect raw material for a Dark Jedi Master. She smirked to herself while walking.

Xanta nearly laughed aloud as Xiaoxing stiffened at his play at chivalry. He would do no such thing, save that it would always be best to keep this one on edge. Allow her to settle in and she would doubtless become powerful enough to be a real threat to his own power. To complete the image, however, he bowed deeply in deference to Xiaoxing.
As you wish, your Majesty. Come...this way.
Xanta now took the lead, motioning for her to follow. The emphasis he had put on 'your majesty' had been just enough to be noticed, but slight enough so that it would be perceived to mean nothing.

Xiao shot him a muted glare. "If you're the 'almighty master', there's no way you should treat your underlings with respect," she said calmly, trailing a meter behind him.
Xiao wasn't supid. She knew that Dark Jedi by nature were proud. Whatever was going on here wasn't right. Who was this man to challenge nature itself? She could hear fluctuations in people's voices. However, she wasn't able to put her finger on the reason. "Another reason I'm no politician," she thought bitterly. She glanced at Xanta again, examining his features.

Xanta smiled slightly to himself, knowing she was unable to see his face. This was going exactly as it should.
Indeed. And if you are an underling, then perhaps it is not proper to speak to your Masters with such insubordination. Perhaps we need a lesson.
With that, Xanta whipped around and threw a powerful blast of Force Shove in Xiao's general direction, following it with Force Choke which would hold her about three inches off the ground.

Xiao grunted, feeling the raw Force energy rip at her body. She clenched her eyes shut, not used to the oxygen being forced out of her body at such a velocity. With all her training, this had never been done to her with such accuracy.
She tried to speak, but found that she couldn't. Instead, she stopped flailing her legs and concentrated. She knew that there wasn't any way to beat a Master at his own game, but she could knock him off balance...
Xiao's eyes blazed open, and she sent her own shockwave at the master, hoping to do something to alter his attention. She wasn't a weakling when it came to the Force, but she knew that she still had to learn.
The knowledge of her possibly-failing strike built up anger inside her mind, increasing her mental abilities. She called upon the power of the Dark Side, submitting herself to it. She recalled some of the spectral, Darth Bane's, monologues, and how he agreed with some of the Jedi's ways... like serenity. If she could keep a sharp, astute mind in dark situations, the Force itself would bow down to her.
Xiao twisted her mouth into a smirk, and used the Force to force Oxygen in and out of her lungs.

Xanta heaved his breath as Xiao's blast collided with his body. He watched as she began breathing with the Force. The odd flows she was using intrigued him, and he watched for a moment before severing his own with a suddenness that would drop the Knight to the ground with a thud.
Xanta bowed again and smiled at Xiaoxing, reaching out to assist her to her feet.
Well done, young lady. You are very concentrated in tough situations - that is quite a virtue for users of the Dark Side. I shall enjoy teaching you.
As soon as she was again on her feet, Xanta turned around and headed in the direction of the Temple.

A thousand words entered Xiao's head as she absently rubbed her throat, once again following Xanta. She placed them in the back of her mind, her emotions sharp with annoyance.
If this were to be her master, she was in for a hell of a time. Her lips pursed with displeasure, she wondered momentarily what it would be like to have to bow to a higher power. It was something she'd never done before; she'd self-taught herself everything she knew, with the exception of several visions... and archaelogical digs. She recalled her first meeting with a Dark Side specter. She had been frightened, ready to run away.
How quickly a person can change... she mused.

Something deeper about this one seethed beneath the surface of her emotions...Xanta could sense it, but he could not put his finger on what it was exactly. He mused about it as he walked, leading her inevitably to the Knight's quarters.
When they reached them, he stopped at the first door which now bore Xiaoxing's name, the digitized nameplate glowing as Xanta opened the doorway. He gestured to Xiao to enter.
Welcome to Dackktan. Make yourself at home - the time is quickly approaching when we will overthrow the Jedi completely. We are preparing.
