Toomb of Tulak Hord

[Lord Kavar]

What place is this but a place of power? The Dark energy pulses through my vains and sapps at my senses but yet there is nothing but cold stone and marble here. What secrets lay within this toomb undiscovered? The tablet of the great blademaster himself? It was never found, but found it shall be...

He stood alone before a scarred black entrance at dusk. Dark, endless winds coming from the crimson sky tugged at his black cloak. The call of Korriban was strong, and he found he could ignore it no more. The toombs called for him to enter and be consumed by their power and embraced by their energy. As he entered he felt nothing. The howling winds had ceased and the warmth of light had vanished. His steps echoed off of the toomb walls and carried further down into the abyss. Cries, shouts of pain ravaged his mind through the force. It was the graveyard's song that ever rang througout the valley; he welcomed it. There was dim light ahead and an open cavern. As he made his way through the cob webs and debris he saw it. There just before him was the toomb; a giant black marble statue of Hord the blademaster. He centered himself in the cavern and called out to the darkside; waiting for an answer.

[Darth Rin]

The call came back, it was strong, but it was not that of the archaic blademaster, but that of another, one who was very powerful. It came from the entrance, the signature was strong, like the frequency of a warship on a sensory unit. It was that of another Sith Lord. His anger and hate were strong with him. This Sith was an empowering presence, it was Darth Rin. The Sith Lord had hidden his presence for some time, he had followed the other Sith into the valley and watched him enter.

Rin stood at the entrance of the tomb. "Many have entered the chambers of Lord Hord. Many have sought his ancient wisdom, including I. I have been here many atimes, I discovered it during the Silent Wars. You indeed are a clever one, I am glad to have you on my side Kavar. What brings you to the Tomb of Tulak Hord?" asked Darth Rin. He was dressed in not his armor, but a robe black as space. The Sith Lord's face was nothing but a dark, black abyss, hidden from view.

[Lord Kavar]

Not even Rin's words could not tear Kavar's eyes, set ablaze with hate, away from the ancient ash statue. He felt colder as the sith's prescence enter the cavern. A rush of dark energy to bask in for an eternity. He felt malice, scorn, anger, contempt, all coming from this black ash granite.

Moments passed


Kavar turned slowly to face Darth Rin. His eyes were all that were visible underneath his cloake.

"Korriban and Ziost run through my veins now....I seek power...as you do." Kavar finished in a whisper, but even that whisper carried along the walls of the dead, walls of the sith.

[Darth Rin]

"Haha, I have found power amongst these ruins and many others, how is it you think I won the Silent Wars and slayed Lord Kirix?" asked Rin. His eyes glowing yellow now, the hate brewing in him ever deeper. "Perhaps a duel, maybe then we may prove to Lord Tulak that we have the power to bring him from the grave?" said Rin all the more menacingly. His words crawling like vipers among the ancient walls.

The Sith Lord drew the hilt of his weapon. I was lined in electrum and bornzium. He pressed a button and with a sharp hiss, a red blade ignited from the emitter ring. The Sith Lord assumed his Ataru stance. It looked very well practiced and very well mastered. With a small amount of the Force, his hood came off to reveal his anger-ridden face and his golden eyes. Rin's jaw was rigid with anger.

[Lord Kavar]

ooc: so tell me, where you going with this one?

Kavar did not react at all to the Sith Lords words, no ebony and silver hilt came to his hand, no evasive manuvers or quick strikes with the force. He simply wrapped his ash black cloak around him tighter and continued to watch the statue with eyes now glowing red as gems from hell itself. Seconds later, Kavar's gloved hands came from inside his robes and told hold of each other. Quick moments passed amidst the shadowy graveyard of the blademaster. Echos of the suffering filled the empty caverns, meanwhile Kavars body began to shake ever so slightly in the darkness. Dark energy pulsed from his body like a heartbeat. The shaking became more violent second by second until the Sith Lord let out a scream and as he did deadly Sith lightning began to fill the cavern. An entire storm of light in the darkness.

[Darth Rin]

OOC: He is testing your power.

Rin watched the man shake violently, wondering what exactly was happening. Darth Rin saw the room light up in a powerful blast of Force Lightning. The Sith Lord deflected what came near him with his lightsaber. He used his weapon to deflect the lightning at Kavar. His anger was growing. How dare you attack me fool! thought the Sith. With his anger, grew his hate. The two boiled together causing a powerful rage.

The Sith Lord began getting closer and closer. With each step, deflecting the lightning became harder, but Rin reinforced his strength and endurance with the Force. "If you continue, I will strike you down!" shouted the enraged Lord.

[Lord Kavar]

ooc: yes but to what end? what are you hoping will happen?

An evil smile etched itself across the Sith Lord's face as he heard Rin screaming at him.Never start what you cannot finish He thought to himself. The force storm ceased as the waves of lightning stopped flowing from Kavar's fingertips. Quickly turning now, force awareness pulsing, he shoved a hand out at the lightning that Rin had shot back at him and watched it dissolve in his own fingertips.

Silence and darkness took control of the cavern. quick moments passed and Kavar's stare, formerly at the ground turned up to face Rin.
"Stike me down if you truly believe you can, but Krayt was right. Too long have the sith faught amongst themselves....to long have we denied ourselves glory. Your move Rin, not mine." and with that Kavar drew his own blade and its scarlet glow too began to light the cavern.

[Darth Rin]

OOC: Lets see how this plays out, I am uncertain of what I want to happen.

"Krayt was a fool!" screamed Rin. His Ataru mastery kicked in and he gave a speedy and agile slice towards Kavar's back. The Sith Lord was enraged beyond what he had ever been. Hord's tomb seemed to give him strength as his hatred and anger boiled more into a sea of rage. The strike was incredibly swift, but Rin knew that the other Lord would not go down so easily.

[Lord Kavar]

Kavar force leapt over the top of Rin and his blade and landed on the other side with his blade up in an agressive position.

"Come then, and meet your end."

[Darth Rin]

"My end!? What makes you think you can slay me?" taunted Rin. The Sith Lord came at Kavar. Using his speed and agility to his own advantage. He used a sequence of flurried attacks to attempt to back the other Lord into a corner.

[Lord Kavar]

Kavar deflected the attacks one by one, and gave suprisingly little ground. When Rin attacked, he deflected, but as soon as Rin stopped his attacks Kavar started. He aimed blow after blow at the sith in an unrelenting fury that became a red blur.

"Perhaps it is no more or less than the very reason you think that you would do the same to me!" Kavar spat at him.

[Darth Rin]

Darth Rin parried alot of the blows. One blow grazed his forearm and the Lord became enraged beyond what he thought was possible. He made a towering jump over Kavar and landed behind him. He gave a well-known and effective Ataru spin-slash at the other's back.

[Lord Kavar]

The back of Kavar's shoulder seared as tattered bits of his cloak fell to the musky flooring of the cavern. This battle would kill them both yet. But to what end? What would victory in battle from slaying one of the only two true sith masters in the galaxy prove? That the jedi had once again triumphed and began spouted the wisdom of their code?!?!

"Never!!!! The Sith shall rule once more and you will not stop that glorious day from coming! The Jedi Order will die by MY hands." He raised his right arm with all the hatred, all the agony, and all the power of Korriban running through his vains. Lightning began to consume this place.

[Darth Rin]

With the speech made and the power flowing, Rin showed his own power off. He fought the Lightning off with a powerful yet beautiful display of power. The room flooded with the orange tendrils of Force Drain. The Drain collided with the Lightning causing another beautiful clash. It exploded in power and the Tomb of Tulak Hord lit up as if it were daylight. The Tomb was filled with the power of the Dark Side. The anger and hate flowing freely as if they were solid entities. In the back of his mind, Rin knew that this crusade would end in the destruction of them both.

The Sith Lord suddenly felt something manifesting from within the depths of the tomb. An ancient force was seeping up from the floors. Another presence was in the tomb. A booming voice sounded: "Stop this meaningless fighting!" Rin sensed it, it was Lord Tulak Hord's spirit. It was something of legend for him to appear.

[Lord Kavar]

Kavar's blade dropped and deactivated when he heard the voice, the voice of power. It called to him like a sweet tune coming from the depths of the toomb. He felt completely immersed by it, forgetting that Rin was even there. Then he did something he hadn't done in many years. Though it was not what he was accustom to, Kavar fell to a knee with his face pointed toward the ghost. He awaited for the spirit to speak.
