It had been a few weeks since Lux had heard from his sister, and even more weeks since he'd actually seen her. Typically the Vampiric Princess as she was nicknamed had a habit of not being too plugged into those around her. It wasn't uncommon for Lux to go a lengthy period of time without hearing from her. Still, it was probably something that bugged him in the back of his mind. Upon returning from one of his recent missions, Lux would find something immensely strange with his clan. First off...half of them were gone. Some of the younger kids, those who had not yet established a strong relationship with their Father were all missing. Luckily, everyone knew where they were.
As it turned out, Lux's sister Clara Ra'Kul had taken them. There were some who still wished to stay with their father and would wait for his return. Clara left them with a single data file discussing her whereabouts and where she what she was planning on doing. It was password encrypted, something only Lux would know. When he helped himself to the file, he'd see a short video of Clara giving Lux very specific instructions. Clara told him she had recently come into some money and had used it to buy their clan a residence in which to train and live. The only problem...it was all the way out in Sith territory.
How Lux would get there was his own business, but the coordinates she'd given him would take him far in the Korriban deserts toward the mountains. The facility Clara had gotten her hands on had once been a Sith listening outpost before they ventured out into the further reaches of space. The building had been left abandoned and forgotten, perfect for the taking. As Lux landed his ship in the construction filled hanger, he'd see many of the missing Ra'Kul children. They were all going through drills with sabers; Clara had been busy teaching them about swordplay. The rest of them were busy working with construction droids fixing up the hanger and remodeling it. There were also many new faces, both young and average in age. The clan had doubled since Lux had seen it last.
However, the most surprising thing about the whole ordeal was it was not Clara who came to greet him. As the man began to leave is ship a young girl in a black outfit would saunter over to him. It was the same girl he'd seen in an old photograph at the Lighthawk estate, naturally she was clearly a few years older than she had been at the time. She was wearing the school uniform that he'd once seen on Clara back when they hunted the Terentanak on Kashyyyk. On her back was a long red sword which was curved at the blade and had a rounded hilt which she could use to spin the blade much like a windmill. The child looked surprisingly similar to Clara for she too had black hair. Only this girl had a streak of red in her bangs. The reason for the resemblance was that this girl was the sister of Clara. And not sister in the way he and Clara were siblings, their name symbolic for their clan's heritage. No these two girls were both born of the same parents.
"Sal-u-tations!" the girl would say enunciating all three syllables of the word. "My name is Bellatrix. Who are you?"
