Amongst the eternal pillars of stone, the wind outside howls in fury, the natural caves of ilum having been disturbed from unwanted outsiders. Beside the great rock formations, there ought to be no life, no dark taint to ruin the mystical purity of the cave. But today, the caves were indeed tainted. The black stone walls of the cave told no story, but the lifeless body lying against the base of a rock pillar could. That is, if you were able to force the dead into life once again. Much easier, of course, to talk to the man who still stood. The victor. The man whose heart still thumped, the man whose breathe was staggered, due to the fight and the cold temperature. Upon closer observation, the one still standing held two metallic tubes at his side in each side, as did the fallen one.

Still puffing slightly, Elyphys walks towards the body, clipping his lightsaber to his belt as he did so. At 6ft 8, Elyphys’s normally huge frame seemed minute in the grand cavern, the rock formations seemingly being ageless. The body was bloody, with bite marks of varying levels of severity in chorus with the final killing wound from the lightsaber. Now, with a chance to finally rest, Elyphys spat out his victim’s blood, which together with his saliva formed a small mark on the rock floor. He was no cannibal. His gifts allowed him to bite better, and it was a powerful and discouraging weapon to utilise. Picking the body from the ground using the force, Elyphys slams the corpse into the rock wall, decorating the rocks with blood and visceral matter.

Let that be the next Jedi’s warning. Elyphys mused. After all, it was all but certain they would send someone else, given that this one would never return. But for the moment, no one would arrive and demand answers, no one would come to take him back for questioning. No one to tempt him into another mistake. Sitting down now, Elyphys’s synthetic eyes glowed with a bright cyan as they scanned the cave. His belongings lay beside him, untouched by the fight. It amused him, discovering that the Jedi had remembered him. How thoughtful of them, to remember me now and not when I needed their attention. Elyphys laughed.

There was no bitterness in his mind now. The Jedi had made him vulnerable, but the mistake had still been his own. Elyphys sat silently, resting his back against the rocks. Resting, waiting, planning.

Rocks shuffled, loosed from there undisturbed settlement of hundreds of years past. Little pebbles fell to cascade off of the jagged slope below, leading to the two down at its base. Opposite the entrance, and atop a high row of a walkway in the stadium style natural architecture, a figure emerged from the shadows. Though the shadows seemed artificial compared to the natural light of the massive cave, this figure had been concealed after all; it would remain a mystery as to how this heavily robed man reached such heights with only one noticeable access to its halls. Yet, he moved with a comfortable knowledge of each and every curvature of rock and crystal therein. And as his voice carried through the echos of sound propogation, the fact would confuse that he was not speaking with any vocal chord's assistance. His thought's projection would carry all the better, hollowed out as the very walls they were within...

"Hahahahahahahaha..." As the robes swung around a leg, the figure would hold a single arm wrapped about a stalagmite to swing himself around; but to disappear into the shadows again, to reemerge a level lower slightly off to the side. "The body holds no soul, yet you'd knock on its hollow door regardless..." The last seemed a combination of a question and a trailed thought, amused either way.

Eyes coming to attention immediately, Elyphys found himself unable to pinpoint the speaker's location. Problematic, but not disconcerting. Nevertheless, the fact that he had completely been unable to detect this other presence even with his heightened natural senses lead to one conclusion. The speaker possessed force capabilities far beyond his own, and they definitely held a much clearer grasp on Elyphys than the other way. Deciding that he was hardly in a position to hunt down the new presence, Elyphys stopped looking around, knowing that they would show themselves if their business concerned himself.

”Call it whimsical or a spur of the moment.” Elyphys laughed. ”Either way, it’s soul was eliminated by me, it’s body only served one more purpose. I won’t need it for nutrition for the time-being.” He spoke casually, with an accent difficult to pin-point. ”So then.” He said curtly, getting to his feet. ”Evidently, you are no Jedi. Doubt one of the order would watch one of their own be slaughtered.” Pausing for a second, Elyphys raised an eyebrow and reconsidered what he said. ”Or rather, they don’t have the courage to watch one of their own die.”

What this new presence intended to do, Elyphys had no idea. There would have been more appealing circumstances to kill him, but perhaps the figure held supreme confidence in his capabilities so it was hardly reassuring.

"Hahahahahahaha..." The voice trickled off, as did the figure for one last time.

From a shadow just off to the side, the hooded man stepped out upon the same level as the other; his face completely hidden by the stain of slanted blackness.

"Indeed! You speak the truth on both accounts. The Jedi do not possess such courage." He paused further still, stopping his walk near five feet away. "...And I am no Jedi."

This time, Ledo felt a simpler approach would do his feeling and accomplish a more direct result.

"Neither am I a preacher ...though I do serve a purpose, one of mine own. Is that something you wish for as well? ...or would you rather sit here and await any who enter here?"

Ledo felt his words to be a bit sharp, poking at an already bleeding muscle that sought any reason to spasms in violence, but his was the highest of causes; one that this one already took to, so Ledo saw no reason this one would refuse him once they ...'understood' each other a bit more.

Even with the other person now visible, Elyphys didn’t find it to be any more comforting. Not a Jedi then, that much was confirmed at least. They said that they serve a purpose too. The last remark made by the figure stung Elyphys perhaps a little more than expected. He had left the Jedi, but without another group or purpose to serve, Elyphys had rather decided to submit himself to wait for an inevitable death. The man was suggesting something, but Elyphys wasn’t about to easily submit without discovering more.

”It seems like waiting has it’s advantages and setbacks after all.” He smirked. ”I have waited for people, and you have arrived. But I highly suspect I can kill you, the only positive that can come out of this would be you showing me another path.”

What he left out was the other possibility that involved the other person smashing Elyphys to smithereens, but that of course was highly undesirable. If the man was offering him something, Elyphys would take it, but he too knew that there were no such things as a free meal in life.

”A purpose that involves what exactly?” Elyphys asked more boldly. He was rather puzzled about what would be involved. After all, the entire encounter so far was rather bizarre.

"Yet I came looking for the men laying at your feet and found you! ...It seems searching has its advantages as well..."

Ledo began circling his prey, instilling an edge to their conversation. He would leave his 'entrance' a mystery, and shrug off the empty threats of this 'child', but would continue to lead the encounter; ever the aggressor.

"...You ...and I." A simple answer to be short, directly given to the ex-Jedi's question he already knew the answer to. Ledo had but to show him the way. Ledo opened his hands in twisting of his torso, looking up at the sounds of his echos as if declaring them against the entire galaxy! "...and ALL THE JEDI", turning his gaze back to his conquest mid sentence, "...who dare bring us to this... purpose!" He pivoted, placing all emphasis on this last, to stare deep in to the heart of his soon to be pupil. "...WE ...bringers of truth! ...we ...bringers of DEATH."

Ledo knew, he would initiate his 'child' as he did all others; imposing his will upon them, his dominance and power must be feared as revered like a 'Father'. He would hold this one's life in his fingers, and give meaning to his suffering.

Bringer of Truth? Bringer of Death? From what Elyphys had gathered, the man seemed to be intent on slaughtering all the Jedi. No question about it. The man was either a brilliant genius r utterly insane. Not to say that he wasn’t interested. After all, it wasn’t as though as if the Jedi would simply ‘leave him alone’ after killing one of their members. But was that enough to really set himself on a radical path? Of course it was.

”I accept whatever you have to offer, but I do still hold some doubt. Despite their cowardly nature, I still know that the Jedi are not easy prey. You must show me that you have what it takes to guide me to greater feats.” Elyphys said neutrally. He wasn’t being rude, Elyphys understood that the other man possessed power clearly beyond his, but it would be more ‘comforting’ in a way to better understand their capabilities.

Whether he proved it now or later, after Elyphys was convinced, his loyalty and determination would be unbreakable. Two cyan blades emerged in Elyphys's hands. He wasn't even aware that he had performed the action. He smiled. Instincts never change, for they are the only way to be true to yourself.

"Mmmmm..." Ledo was pleased. This was a perfect fit. Some of those he acquired needed breaking, some needed persuasion, yet some already knew the way of things.

"Come! Soon, you shall call me Father!" Ledo shouted out the ringing bells of their beginning, as his pointing arm soon shown longer with red extension; his unique lightsaber spouting from nothingness. Its magnificence might be missed on those who don't have eyes for such things, yet the triggerless shaft held a particular meaning to Ledo's days before its creation.

"YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Ledo sprang forth with a boosted hate, energy output in the Force booming to greater heights than felt before the action; he swung up a single handed slash cutting through his soon to be pupil from left hip to right shoulder, the beam leading his body in motion yet flowing to the next move as one foot gave way to the next. His shifting weight would show the aggressor, unrelenting and demanding of equal performance!

While Elyphys had certainly anticipated the attack, knowing it was coming was different to being able to work out how to stop it. When the strike came, Elyphys hurridely brought up his two cyan blades, one held in reverse grip and one held in standard grip. He formed a crossed defense, barely blocking the strike. Though in a strength competition Elyphys had more than enough confidence, he knew that in a Lightsaber duel there were much more important factors.

"Hnff" Elyphys grunted as he stumbled back two steps under the attack. Snarling, and using momentum from the backward step, Elyphys slammed his left fist into the ground, causing a force shockwave to erupt. The rock directly beneath him was shattered and hurled into the air, causing dangerous projectiles to be formed as well as the shockwave itself.

Extending the lengths of his lightsabers with a quick adjustment of the saber lengths, Elyphys struck out with both blades, performing a dual-slash towards Ledo's neckline, hoping to surprise his opponent with the sudden counter-attack.

Both in avoidance and in placement of superior position, Ledo let his first attack diminish as the duel wielding foe before him broke apart the ground into a shock wave of lifting projectiles; as Ledo but flipped over the lowering body before him. As the duel strikes swept out, Ledo had reached his feet behind the ex-Jedi; having avoided the display entirely, almost rolling over him back to back.

No doubt the boy's attack was cut short as he missed the cloaked old man, Ledo slashed upwards in the same fashion as before but from behind; this time more of a backhand slash still carrying the saber in one right hand, from his lower left to upper right.

Elyphys frowned with confusion as he realised that his blows would never reach his opponent. His oppponent who had all but dissapeared once the shockwave had formed. Startled suddenly by the knowledge that Ledo was in fact behind him, Elyphys twisted around immediately, managing only to bring one lightsaber in front of him to block the strike. Elyphys quickly recognized that with his current capabilities he would not be able to even scratch the more than capable man in front of him. His Cyan blades dissapated with a hiss as Elyphys drove his legs onto the ground below him, letting the force carry him backwards with a backflip.

"Father..." Elyphys said slowly, recalling the word that the man had previously said. He forced himself to slowly descend to one knee, his pride was nothing in this instance. What could one do in the presence of such capability. He could only offer his servitude in awe, in hopes of greater power and a cause worthy of his full dedicaiton.

Clear was Ledo's power, but he had yet to even begin to unleash it. He had shown a taste, and it seemed that was enough to satisfy his newest conquest. Some might say that those with certain taste know even at its scent the exactness of substance's distinct quality. And so it was in this case, that Elyphys knew exactly what he wanted and the quality that stood before him.

Ledo accepted this pledge and moved on. "Child", his accepting tone, though unpleasant, pleasingly pared with a motion of his hand to wave Elyphys to a stand. "...Such a place will serve you, but spite your enemies! Your darkness will fill this place." Ledo was contained, his presence in the Force all but gone, as he closed his eyes with a retracted saber and relaxed demeanor. "...Hear the call of my voice against these walls." As he spoke, his voice resonated in echoing magnitude like that of a deity in their silence. "Feel its sound leave your control and return in greater dimension of complexity and presence. Feel its effects on your body, on your emotion! Rebel against it!!" Ledo's continued instruction gave cause to multiple applications of knowledge as the sounds gave to feelings which in turn gave to understanding. As Ledo's words of sound were relentless in creation of setting's effects; Elyphys would find himself learning the beginnings of sense, concealment, deflection, suppression, precognition, and other enhancing and deterring states of mind through the Force. What Elyhpys had already learned would be added upon, and what he had yet to learn would begin manifesting itself. "...BOLSTER IT!!! ...Now REBEL AGAINST IT!!!" In fluctuations, Ledo would have Elyphys strengthen his use of the Force as he would his very heartbeat. Elyphys would feel the surge of Darkness empowering his physical system and so tainting their environment as its effect.

An involuntary growl escaped Elyphy’s mouth. The cry was primal, a result of the darkside induced upon him by Ledos’ words. His previous bitterness towards the Jedi was expanded to it’s full capacity. The force currents engulfed his body, etching their presence into every aspect of his body and mind. Then, it expanded once again, forcing Elyphys to bend his shoulders backwards from the sudden excruciating yet enlightening pain. With every muscle throbbing and every vein visible on his pale body, Elyphys let out an unrestrained roar, bolstered in volume by the force pounding through his body. Pulses of darkside energy radiated from Elyphy’s being, the crystals embedded into the rock walls fluttering with purple light as if responding to the dark presence. The uncontrolled miasma of emotions led to such a sight, but gradually, Elyphys’s monstrous frame stopped convulsing, and the pulses of energy receded. Eventually, Elyphy’s breathing returned to normal, his eyes glowing once again with familiar cyan.

What he had experienced was... Liberating. Was this what the Jedi had forbidden them to taste? Such ignorance, such despicable arrogance. What had seemed logical under the Jedi had turned just the opposite. Yes, he had consciously made his decision to leave the Jedi, and yes, he had killed the one they sent after him. But only now, only now has Elyphys truly taken the step that would yield no return. He was now undoubtedly under the influence of the man in front of him. This did not mean that he was a mindless pet, but in regards to the Jedi, Elyphys would not be able to discern the wildest of lies to the simplest truth.

"Father..." He mumbled deeply, addressing the man properly. He had taken his first step towards his future, and there was no doubt who was going to be guiding him.

"...Yessss..."

Ledo's own invigorating senses were heightened with his new disciple's practice of power, as did each event of spawning a new greatness into the galaxy's burning magnitude!

"Now! Rip from the walls of your past..."

Ledo reached out an arm, a striking snap of an appendage like lightning; clutching and ripping out a single cluster of crystals high from the walls and ceiling above. Bringing it down but feet before him, Ledo crammed tight his fist that shattered the crystal formation in telekinetic rawness of burning passion. Then, thrashing that arm across his body, he threw the splash of dust and shard into the opposing wall to rain harmless projectiles against it.

"And break free of its dictating mirror of image and past constrictions!"

Ledo repeated the act from an entirely different location, yet this time burst the crystal formation with a crack of lightning.

"Your power is feeding! Your power is freeing! Your power...."

Yet another cluster break and crumble from the walls above and lower, this time to hover just before Elyphys to await his own wishes and desire. Ledo held it there for Elyphys to begin. First he would do as Ledo did, however he could; then Elyphys would aid Ledo in tearing down this single cave of many, to continue his message across the Galaxy... Yet they would not escape its chaos, but embrace it!!!

Watching violence being dealt out was never something Elyphys didn't enjoy.

"Hahahaha...." He chuckled. Power indeed. He felt it flow through him, but at the same time from watching Ledo, he knew that he could have more...

Watching the crystal flutter above his head slighty, Elyphys traced his fingers around the blue crystal, seemingly representing the Jedi and their 'puritan' ways.

So 'pure' that they were blinded. So pure that they would refuse to send help after they had ordered him to infiltrate the enemy. The Jedi practically handed Elyphys into his targets' hands, yet they only sent someone to confront him after he had escaped. Yes, it was clear. He would eliminate them, one by one. The Jedi had lied, and like disciplining children, he would find them, and deliver his own 'treatments'. Elyphys could feel his body tightening, his heart pounding in anticipation.

His dark-side presence filled the cave once again, though he knew that he could conceal his presence if need be. Right now, he indulged himself.

Grasping the crystal tightly with one hand, the crystal's blue sheen was quickly tainted into a dark rich purple. Elyphys laughed, gathering pure dark side energy into his hand and the crystal. When he was ready, Elyphys released the blast, obliterating all traces of the crystal.

"Their souls will be ours!" Elyphys shouted in ecstasy. That's right, he was to be a harvester, but he was going to be picky. Elyphys would only settle for the best, the Jedi were the cream of the crop, what better place to start...

Ripping down piece after piece, Ledo and Elyphys began shaking the walls with their enjoying hatred in the moment. Bolders and clusters of crystal and stone flew across the main chamber and all around them, as Ledo thrashed his arms from up to down in crisscrossing motions. He was calling a baritone roar that cracked further the foundations of the enormous cavern, now just reaching both arms up in a clutching event; fingers bending unnaturally with power ripping through the rock and crystal confines of their station!

"Now!"

As Ledo gave intruption to whatever Elyphys was also raging in their moment of self destruction and freedom all the same, a peek of light broke through the top of the cavern while the cave in became a force unstoppable at this point. A couple, Master and Apprenetice, of Jedi came sprinting to a halt in the entrance to the cave and Ledo's head jerked up towards the ceiling exit; telling Elyphys to begin his escape from the past.

"Reach your freedom! And become master over your obstacles!"

Referrencing both to the Jedi behind and the falling stone of immense proportion ahead, Ledo ordered Elyphys to reach the top by any means. And as all around collapsed in total chaos and danger, each piece of the cave that fell was as a stepping stone to reach the top opening that would not stay open forever. Yet below, stone and rock and crystal smashed upon the ground with crushing end and gave the two Jedi more than enough to handle.

They were shocked, and as one of the biggest bolders camae crashing down - it seemed to consume Ledo in its shadow, but to crack and split at its center as it divided in two and Ledo rocketed up through the middle. His energy and speed were unmatched, shooting straight up towards the exit; yet as his assent slowed, he reached falling boulders with which he pounced to and from until finding a slant of standing room just along the wall and below the exit. Ledo looked down to see if his newest student had yet made it.

Elyphys broke out of his self-indulgent moment of crazed laughter. He had relished the chance of destruction, though his 'achievements' were certainly dwarfed by the volatile man before him. The sudden presence of the Jedi hardly brought Elyphys out of his maddened condition. in fact, the sight of them only brought him into a deeper bloodlust. Nevertheless, Ledo's roar smacked him back to reality, the reality that the cavern that they had joyously demolished was tumbling into the earth, threatening to demolish and bury alive all that still stood beneath it.

Raising one hand towards his few belongings immediately, pulling them towards him with the force, Elyphys followed Ledos' actions, preparing to leap off the ground the instant his belongings reached his fingers. Slapping on his mask and clipping his weapons to his belt, Elyphys gathered as much of the force current flowing through his body into his legs. With a roar, Elyphys leap towards the next 'level', his jump carrying him through the showers of rock and crystal undisturbed. When his jump started to falter, his right hand latched onto the rock wall, giving himself a second boost.

This time, a large boulder headed straight towards him. Elyphys smiled with anticipation, summoning the force into his hands. Striking out at the boulder with both his fists, the boulder crumbled, leaving Elyphys with a few superificial cuts, but otherwise no real harm was dealt. With one final jump off one of the rock ledges, Elyphys hurled himself towards where Ledo stood. Elyphy's face was now covered by his mask, but even without seeing his face, his joy and delight were evident when he looked down upon the Jedi stranded at the bottom of the cavern.

Turning towards Ledo, he nodded respectfully, trusting in his 'father' for further decisions. "Do we leave this ice world, or is there unfinished business?" Elyphys asked, curious as to see what they would do now. He wondered if the Jedi below would survive, but undoubtedly, their presence had been related to the one he had killed earlier. Whether now, or later, he was sure they would perish. By his hands? By the forces of nature? That did not matter.

An uncontrolled fit of laughter once again erupted from Elyphys's throat. Blood will run wild, flowing from the wounds of every Jedi. And he, Elyphys, would be there to see it.

Hesitating in his sensing of the extinguishing of life, either one of the Jedi or both were killed and Ledo felt it conclude his thoughts of the moment.

"We are to move on to reach higher still...", as Ledo's words seemed less playful than in earlier moment of reveling boiling hatred, now he seemed of a business mind. "There is more that I would have done. Follow me... And begin your steps towards greater power."

Ledo then spun around and began a hike down the face of the outer mountain-side, reaching steps over broken rubble that had spread open at certain points able to peek deep into the sparkling caves of ancient history. Though quickening steps sooner became a sprinting gale of Ledo's image, he'd have his newest student move as he did; Ledo's voice carried both over sound and thought. "...Use that pulsating flow of feeding power that you so took from that cave and boost your adrenaline! Bolster your physical limits in heated moment, then condense it all into the constriction of your muscles and heart! Bound with faster movement... or be left behind!"

In this, Ledo's power still fused with his pupil's. The excitement that Elyphys felt in the caves of freedom and raging power was branching towards his new lengths of power. Whether he had learned skills with the Jedi or not, or he simply added to those powers - Elyphys would now feel the heightening effects of speed, rage, leap, and movement. Ledo did not move his fastest, yet did not waste time. There was someone he wished to intercept...

Upon reaching a plateau, Ledo will have shown Elyphys the place of the Jedi's landing and their ship. A small ship, about the size of most average carriers; its capabilities were more than aggressive. Apparently this vessel had seen its days worth of space battles, as given upon the scores and burns along its hull. Ledo would board the ship, using the Force to slide open the doors and set course into space.

Not a total madman then? Elyphys thought to himself, pondering on the man's change in tone. Sadly, the truth was undeniable. While madmen could certainly achieve the 'dramatic', ultimate realisation of goals was rather difficult to maintain without being able to maintain a clear conscience. So, there was something else that needed to be done then? Elyphys wasn’t particularly surprised, though the nature of the ‘task’ was understandably a mystery to him.

Allowing the force to fuel his actions once again, Elyphys pounded his legs in front of him, the stark image of a panther racing forward in it’s hunt. indeed, there was some grace in his movements, but above all else, strength, sleekness, and confidence. With great force-aided strides and leaps, Elyphys matched Ledo’s pace, at the same time wondering where they were headed to.

Once they had reached the plateau, his questions were answered. The Jedis’ ship. How Ledo himself had arrived on ilum, Elyphys did not ask. it was presumably not his place to ask at the moment, with more important matters on hand. Perhaps he had always been on ilum? Perhaps he had owned a ship? in a sense, Elyphys did not understand nor know anything about the man leading him to greatness, and frankly, it was neither important or necessary. if Father would no care to speak of such things, Elyphys would not be as foolish as to ask.

Aboard the Jedi vessel now, Elyphys followed Ledo as he plotted a course for the ship. Where they were headed, this was a question that was sensible to ask. ”Where are we going, Father?” Essentially, he had no clue. He would be satisfied with anything, after all, he had been given a purpose, and Elyphys was sure that behind every task or action taken, there would be a greater aim.

He WOULD become greater. He would become a harvester. What stood in his way would be removed, and his father would guide him to such feats. Taking off his mask, a reflection of his face appeared on an observation window. The skin, the synthetic eyes, the charming yet undeniably cruel expression and features... None of these were him. From within, his real self, the chaos, the silence. Threaded and bonded together, an indestructible thirst.

"The Jedi we left in the cave... they did not come for you." Ledo answered plainly, both remaining aloof and clear in his meaning. It seemed Ledo had attracted some attention and would move to deal with it.

A Master of deception and the manipulation of his Force signature, Ledo had drawn those Jedi towards the specific cave. His exploding of power along side Elyphys did the rest, as anyone and everyone nearby would have felt their actions there within. Ledo was always moving, always busy, and wasted no opportunity to snatch up a willing student in his spare time. How he came to the planet or how those following him did as well would remain a mystery, as Ledo felt no need to explain even what he planned to do. All he expected Elyphys to do was learn in the heat of his actions.

After the ship had taken off and reached a launching point, Ledo designated for it to do so and it blasted off into light bending speeds. Shortly thereafter, it seemed their destination was more than close, they jolted back to normal flight; and into view came a small space station orbiting a planet. Question of their destination would soon become unnecessary as they veered towards the oddly designed hovering cube of riddled tubes and passage ways. Pressing a finger down upon a flashing light, Elyphys may become alarmed to hear Ledo's voice sound completely different as if pure of intent and conscience; speaking clearly into the comms with a designated transmission code labeled just under the ID number located along the bottom lining of the computer panel. Requesting to dock the station, Ledo spoke under the guise of the Jedi he so easily left in the crumbling caverns of crystal.

Pulling up side the readying and extending access bay, the situation seemed overly calm and at peace; even though the events to come were far from it. Ledo further had plans of utter chaos, as it seemed to become the specialization of his newest student's training. Perhaps certain signatures of all of Ledo's students were becoming more an more visible, as Ledo's teaching style was unique to each pupil. It would appear that an environmental approach would become Elyphys' style, if accepted. Ledo did not care, as long as the tasks set unto him were undeniably completed.

Ledo payed little attention to Elyphys, moving quicker now towards the opening hatch and exit to the ship. Soon he'd have to move quickly to subdue the many on board here. If Elyphys was paying attention to what Ledo did not point out, there was another ship docked opposite their position exactly similar in make and model to their own Jedi carrier. Stepping swiftly, Ledo made his way down empty halls; but to be greeted by the clicking heels of another coming round the corner. So would begin their slaughter!

Expecting Elyphys to be right behind him, Ledo's open hand waved behind his tailbone as the rolling of his fingers released his golden tool of choice and twist the revealing hilt to sparkle in his student's understanding and swing around the igniting beam of his passion!
