Chapter 1: Strange Messages...

Deep within the bowels of the gothic halls of The Naboo Sith Order Chikami Darkwynd sits pondering many things. Sitting upon his bed Chikami exhales slowly his breath coming into view as it hits the cold air. The room is lit by a cool blue light giving the room an eerie feel. His thoughts dwell upon how to get a new lightsaber. Drifting off into the depths of his mind Chikami remembers his last battle with Corran Horn. "Damn him...destoying my saber...AND...HER! She will pay for her insolence! I will do to her what she did to me back in Mos Eisley...except when I do the job it will be permanent!" Chikami sits silently watching the battle replay in his mental theater.

Chikami is brought back to reality by a tapping at his door. Chikami merely says "Enter". Moments later a small droid pushes open the door to the room, and presents Chikami with a message. Opening the envelope Chikami without paying attention dismisses the droid. The letter reads as follows:

"<font face="Dragonwick, Lucida Calligraphy" size="4">Chikami Darkwynd, Knight of TNSO,

I have information that you may deem interesting. Information about your past, and about your future. You will recieve another letter detailing where and when you are to meet me if you want this information, but you will need to get yourself a new saber first. Yes, I know all about those incidents in Mos Eisley.

Sincerely,
...</font>"

Chikami wads the paper into a tight ball and throws it across the room. Letting loose a howl of rage Chikami walks over to the door slams his fist into the wall drawing blood. Turning to his small desk Chikami creates a note written in blood, his blood. Chikami pulls his dagger from the desktop and sheaths it in his boot. As he turns Chikami grabs a shard of metal lying on the desk.

Taking the message Chikami staples it to the door of his room using a shard of metal from his former lightsaber.

Storming through the halls of TNSO Chikami takes the most direct route to the hangar possible. It is clear that he is in a foul mood, even worse than normal, and his thoughts lie on getting to Illum, and then to his mysterious contact.

Within a room in an opposite hallway from Chikami, sat sith Knight Malice Draclau. A former master to Chikami. Malice had been meditating, putting his mind in closer contact with the force. Letting it's dark energies flow freely through his body. He had become more and more obssesed with the darkside as of late, though he didn't know why.


Just then he felt a tremor within the force. It fel like a giant needle stabbing him in his side. Reaching out with the darkside, Malice spread his mind to cover the whole of TNSO. He was trying to find out where the tremor had come from. Then he found it. It was coming from a member of this order, Chikami Darkwynd. Malice could sense the increased anger and hatred within him. Standing he shook off his meditation feeling and sent Chikami a message via the force.

(And just where do you think your going young one. Off ona little adventure are we)

Malice could have simply read his mind, but felt it best for Chikami to tell him. After all, Malice and Chikami still had that bond a master and apprentice have. So Malice would always be able to find Chikami, no matter where he had gone off to. For now Malice clipped his saber his belt and left his room. Following Chikami's force signature, the sith knight would see where he was going.

(And just where do you think your going young one. Off ona little adventure are we)

Malice's message didn't even slow Chikami as he proceeded to the hangar. Chikami shot a message of his own right back at Malice.

(Come to the hangar I will fill you in there)

Arriving at the hangar Chikami began preparing his ship for launch. While the ship's engines heat up Chikami walks back down the loading ramp and awaits Malice's arrival.

Within moments Malice burst through the hanger bay doors. Looking around he spots Chikami witing for him. Walking up to his fellow sith, Malice nodded his head.

*Well i'm here. So, where are you off to in such a hurry? and.....with alot of anger on your mind as well. Unless you learn to control your feelings, you'll be an open book, easy to read and corrupt by those jedi fools*


Malice was becoming very curious a to what would make Chikami so mad.

Chikami watches silently as Malice came flying through the doors. Nodding to Malice Chikami took a moment to collect himself. Taking a few deep breaths Chikami is slightly calmer.

"I am going to Illum...I shall be crafting myself a new lightsaber. After that I am to idly wait for another message from an unknown source. The source claims to know about my past and future, and knows all about both the incidents in Mos Eisley."

Chikami took a few more deep breaths trying to relieve some of his anger, but doesn't get very far.

Malic said nothing at first. Taking in all that Chikami said, the sith thought for a moment.

*Well, this does sound interesting. Tellme Chikami, mind if i join with you. For i too would like to learn more about you and your past*

Thinking on the proposition for a moment Chikami visibly relaxes as his nerves calm.

"Your company is always welcome Malice. I know not what we are heading into, but you are welcome to join me."

Stepping to the side of the ramp Chikami gestures for Malice to enter.

"You can travel with me as I have plenty of room, or if you prefer you can provide your own means of travel."

Chikami looks to Malice waiting his descision.

Malice nods his head in acceptance and walks aboard.

*I think i shall travel with you. It would give us some time to talk about what's on your mind. After all, you may no longer be my pupil, but we still have a bond between us that will never be broken*

The bond Malice was reffering to was the one that connected a master and their apprentice.


OOC: I am soooo sorry Chikami. Real life is just kicking my arse right now. But i promise to go on at least everyday to check up on this rp and reply to it. again i apologize.

Chikami follows Malice into the <font color="Red">Blood Frenzy</font>. As he enters Chikami slaps a button and the hatch begins to close. Moving into the pilots chair Chikami powers up and lifts off. Exiting the hangar Chikami quickly makes his way into orbit. Setting the control to auto-pilot Chikami plots the course to Illum. Once finished he gets up and moves to the seating area behind the pilots chair. Taking a seat across from Malice Chikami raises a questioning eyebrow.

"So what was it you wanted to talk about Malice?"

Malice nods his head, chosing a question to start things off.

*Well, i want to know what has got you all tied in knots. Normally i would say anger is a good thing for a sith, but to have as much as you had just then has made me wonder. What could possibly be going on in your mind*

Malice could have just as easily read his mind, but chose not to.
