Hunger for Vengeance (Zato's Assignment)

[Lyeric Ubbal Arathilion]

Sand lifted from the earth as the winds of a barren and cutthroat world twisted around the etching stone walls of the spaceport. It was interesting to the one lingering here, in the shadows, how closely he felt a resemblance to time's decay of a carving sand against solid rock. Subtle hints of his presence reverberated through the current of the air, reaching out with the sand. It would gather, loom over the one he sought; as he has done before.

This was not the first meeting of the two, though it may be the last. Never a great faith was given to those who followed him, as they're life was death. All the challenges they faced, would indeed make them the stronger for it; but survival was a small statistic in his eyes. His true faith was in numbers, though none would know it. For now, he was one with the violent stream of batting sand; crashing against the walls of dead men. For their lives mattered not to his grand scheme. They were but there for his convenience. And so he used these alleyways to exist beneath their focus. None could sense him. None could see him. It was as he had grown to specialize, as did his students. Though, this previous student was aware of his summoning ways that played on his thirst as it played on his mind; bringing forth the desire to follow the stream of that satisfying taste, back... back to 'Ledo'.

Zato got out of his dreaded room before walking down and exiting the hotel he had just finished his meal. Before his eyes picked up a trail, it was unsure who this was nor did he care at all. Or did he? His unsatisfactory idea drove him for killing. The same trail that had been given to Zato a long time ago, was well and better now. He smiled and spoke."His here."His eyes lifted and he headed for a dark alley way. The trail was now gone. Hmm a bit of surprise there. before he turned towards the right and stood leaning to the wall waiting.

Before him now, but a whisper; Ledo still enjoyed displaying his dominance and power over this one. It was his way of keeping the crazed in check and focused with intrigue.

"You have been busy, my apprentice..." The words echoed from different directions, designed to confuse the senses; poised as a question, yet rhetorical in nature. The presence knew of this one's regular habits, and how they worked for the Animus.

"Why have you come here?" Still in a grind of a whisper, the familiar voice rose in volume with the rushing of the wind and lowered in the silence. Referring to Zato's trip to Tattooine: It was in his mind to not make clear his intentions right away, as his students must always be reminded of his 'Ledo's' ever watchful eye. He had indeed only just arrived, and only to shortly give Zato his references for the next kill; but his students could never know when he comes and goes.

His senses reaction ed he kept his cool. Focusing on the sound around him, into one simple noise that came from afar."Master you underestimate my abilities."He said slowly. he showed no fear even with the strongest grandmaster of this one grouped faction. He spoke."I am here on family matters."He said openly although this was an alley way, he did something dumb, saying that it was family matters even if this was true he should have said Things or made something up faster it just simply burs ted out."May you show yourself this time?"He asked wondering.His red eyes, capable seeing in pitch black places. Were beginning to adapt with the darkness of the alley, within one or less then minute his vision would be perfect.In the dark, as if it was when light was going.

And just as the voice slithered away into the focus of a vaccuum in one direction, Ledo's physical being rippled through darkness and cloud that assembled from the opposing direction; his face rushing in close to the back of Zato's ear, as he had turned to what he believed to be the source of his Master's presence.

"I will always underestimate your abilities! ...until you have ended the lives of those we seek." Ledo had prepared himself for this one, as he was always on guard; always wary of betrayal, even in the most loyal followers.

"Do not forget your place in these... matters, Zato. Above all, death!" Spouting the religion of his own texts as he often did, Ledo had begun to encase their surroundings in an illusion meant for any wanderers nearby. No one is to ever hear of his conversations, and so he would make sure of it as he affected the minds of those nearby; disallowing any to form the thought process of walking down these alleyways. Over command of his surroundings always, Ledo had yet to form a fully solidified presence; still hovering in darkness.

 

[Zen]

He sighed, he was not going to overreact he was indeed was calm, Ledo was one and only one that he would not harm without a real damn good enough reason."I sense your wariness, Not by the force by my eyes. I mean you no harm.I know my place master I am not foolish. I grow in power and rage each kill, each blood I draw inside my body. Who is it this time master? Who must be killed?"He asked leaning on the wall looking at his master's eyes."I also believe that the two of us, can actually form a bond, the minute you picked me off the street of unknown killing. I also became and don't resit in this universe, and my True father is you, My Blood father will die, if he does things without my orders, I will make sure of that. Shall we now discuss the duties, in every detail? I must know who this next target is."He said even more calmly seeing Ledo here.

 

[Lyeric Ubbal Arathilion]

"Yes... my child. You will achieve a power, through me, most can only dream of." Ledo finally appeared in full, or so it would seem to Zato, before him; not where the latest apparition had spoken into his ear, but standing with his back to him. It was in this, that Ledo would instill a false trust with the follower. He was fully capable in this position, though looking to have given trust.

Covered in tattered black robes, looking to have seen the burns of fire and the charred singe of lightning, Ledo stood as a single unit behind the long robes. A thick book lifted through the force, having a look of antiquity, out from his 'Ledo's' left side. It lifted with a tilting, as the pages bent to slide open; falling to a specific place within. Over a third of the way in, the heavy text rested open; levitating over Ledo's shoulder with the falling dust.

Saying nothing, Ledo let hover the book that Zato had seen before, implying the notion of Zato taking it for the purpose of reading. On the left page, half way down through the scribblings of old ink, lay a worn tan image of a woman. Beneath was an account of times mentioned to his 'Ledo' when he was still with the Jedi. As he had never come in contact with this particular Jedi, she came into knighthood after his departure from the Order, she was still linked to his cause. This one would be an example to his enemies. One who may still see the truth, in death. Those linked to her would surely feel her loss, and so the initial motions of his scheme would begin; spreading like the ripples of disturbed water.

Under the depicted portrait, a name and a home planet signed the corner edge of the rectangular frame.... Lyzerg Ishofa, Panatha.

 

[Zen]

His eyes flicked. gathering the information from a far. Even the image was implanted in his head."I got the information, I just had one question. Aside from me raping every inch of her body then killing her? What else would you like me to do to her?" He said before giggling, The the sight was to tasty a female, the most easily targets for Zato to kill after raping them. And doing dirty things to them. But the hardest part was finding her exact location.He waited for an Answer.

''You are to kill her! You are to maim her body on the highest point, for all to see!" Ledo pictured it, the Jedi female dead; and all gathering around her body to bring it down. The Jedi would no doubt have some ceremony for her death, feeling the imminent coming of his children.

"My word is truth! They will know this... if you succeed. You must stay hidden, until the time is right. Use her home world as a beginning. She no doubt frequents the Jedi Temple on Ossus and perhaps even the ruins on Coruscant. Learn what you can about her. Use her weaknesses against her. Make her face that which she hides deep in her true self!" Ledo believed fully in his once Jedi proclaimed philosophy that all must face the darkness within.

Ledo's head began to turn over his shoulder, his hood still fully wrapped around it. "Do not loose yourself in these... pleasures, as they too can become weakness."

 

[Zen]

"Very well, As for the pleasure I wanna see if it does hold a weakness. Is there anything else before we part?"He asked his master.

(Sorry for the small post nothing much to say.)

 

[Lyeric Ubbal Arathilion]

Ledo hesitated. His instruction had completed. Ripping the book out of the air, the pages violently slammed shut and withdrew into the Grandmaster's robes. He turned away, letting go of his hold over nearby travelers and locals. And as they began to populate the immediate area, Ledo would dissolve into the drifting sand.

"The rest, I leave to you... Do not fail me."

His words lingered, though his presence did not. All other trace of his 'Ledo' was gone. It was as if he were never there, but for his last words to cling to the disciple's thoughts. Zato was once again, on his own. The time had come to one again locate and eliminate a target of the Force. His will must be done...

 

[Zen]

He sighed. Before moving out of the way and going back to to his hotel to pack some things."Well, hunting time."He said.
