Drane didn’t hesitate when it came to touching her. Her skin tingled as his hands brushed by, and the more he squeezed the more she leaned into him. But, as her cheek nuzzled his shoulder, Cheriss noticed his hesitation. She turned her head, looked at him, eyes into eyes. She knew he wanted it...

Cheriss didn’t say anything as Xyrin stepped into the newly-opened hall after her and R6. They might have been three, but did her droid really count? The voice seemed insistent that there be two, but there were only two living beings here. There would only be one if the acolyte didn’t control...

The container fell, but Cheriss didn’t hear a splat. She didn’t see anything either, thanks to the room being once again bathed in darkness. Instead, all she knew was that the container had fallen, and that something was moving nearby. Something that seemed to glow. Then she realized that she...

For a holocron that was all about lightsabers, Cheriss probably should have recognized the convenience of bringing the materials earlier. Kyber crystals were somewhat annoying to come by— especially when the better ones came from the lightsabers of Jedi. They could always go to synth-crystals...

From how brightly Karai’s eyes shone as she looked over at him, Cheriss could tell that he felt the same way about Juyo as she did. That was good— today had been productive. As the holographic image of Kas’im disappeared again, this time finished with today’s lesson, she knew that the Gatekeeper...

Where the other forms had been more technique based, Cheriss soon found out that Juyo was different. Instead of focusing on tight movements of the blade, acrobatics, or powerful swings, Form VII drew its strength from the dark side rather than pure muscle. Arguably, that made this one easier to...

With both Sith ready and Kas’im explaining Ataru away without a care in the world, Cheriss would redirect her attention to him as she followed along with what he was saying. With both of them somewhat refreshed, it was time to lock in again. The next few forms passed by slower than the first...

Confidence was good. Not to the point of becoming arrogant, but a healthy dose of trust in oneself was necessary when it came to learning things like this. Cheriss nodded at Karai’s answer, glad that they were on the same page in that regard. “You’re a quick learner,” she responded. “I’m sure...

As they went through the lesson, Cheriss was glad that it was free of interruptions. Karai clearly wanted to learn as much as she did, and she appreciated how they were in their own zones the whole time. Even if she occasionally looked over to see how he was doing and vice versa, they never...

Given that both Sith were already familiar with Shii-Cho, that lesson only lasted about an hour before they were ready to move on. Makashi, being Cheriss’ primary form, wasn’t draining either. So she simply watched Kas’im demonstrate the moves, refining some of what he showed to fit her own...

Sitting across from Karai, Cheriss mirrored his position and closed her eyes to help herself concentrate. She could feel the power within the holocron. As both Sith combined their strength in the Force, the holocron shuddered before it opened to reveal the Gatekeeper. When she heard his voice...

Despite its poor position, the abomination managed to gain his footing back. A Force push sent both Jedi and Sith back, resulting in yet another stalemate. What was worse was the lights suddenly turning on. Cheriss’ vision went fully white, and she instinctively lifted her hand in an attempt to...

The reason Cheriss hadn’t ignited her lightsaber was to avoid accidentally stabbing her partner. However, Xyrin didn’t seem to have any worries doing it the other way around, and soon Cheriss found a red blade just inches in front of her face. She instantly questioned why she’d worried about the...

Wild. Both Cheriss and Karai agreed that that was what characterized the tale of the origin of the Sith. As a species and as an Order, they had achieved great things over millennia. Perhaps that story was even wilder. Reality was its own fantastical story in of itself. As for Corellia, there...

Cheriss rested a finger on her chin, listening with curiosity as Karai told his story. Even if it was quite fantastical, it was still interesting to hear about. The power to create a planet by simply willing it to exist did sound magnificent. It was poetic, too, the way that life, light, death...
