Arthemise quelled him with a look, but did not let her anger show in her expressions- wise enough to know that she was no match for Brandr. It had taken than enough time for her to recover from his prior lesson and she hoped not to find herself crawling out of the woods today. He had no interest...

Brander didn't seem entirely convinced she was capable of keeping pace with him and was content on leaving her behind- odd, considering he had requested the escort, but it wasn't worth the effort to argue. He was far too stubborn to listen. "Leave me behind if you must- I know these forests...

Arthemise should have known better than to expect a decent response from the man- he was filled to the brim with piss and vinegar. It made him a rather hideous creature, the lines on his face having formed a permanent scowl. His heavily armored exterior served only to protect the emptiness he...

Lothal was her home. The vast mountains that lined its horizons were familiar, but where Arthemise had once seen beauty she now found emptiness. It was hard to escape the idea that she was alone- it was a battle that had waged war inside of her in the weeks following Evandrus' death. He had...

She groaned, bending over. Her entire body ached and it was hard to stand, but she couldn't lay here forever. Morning would come and bring men to the shipyards for work- Arthemise couldn't be here when they arrived. This time, she wouldn't be capable of holding her own, Brandr had made sure of...

It was too late. Brandr had gripped her wrist before She could think to pull away and his heavily armored knee sailed into her open stomach. The pain that followed was immeasurable- the breath pulled from her lungs and blood filled her mouth. Her muscles tended, but she couldn’t catch herself...

Her palms ached, fingers numb as she held her fists tight at her side- his words echoed through the emptied grounds. He could have said nothing at all and she would have been content to leave it there, but instead, he chose to mock her. There was silence as she processed his words, her eyes...

"What is it?" Her eyes trailed back to Brandr, fire burning within them. Evandrus was dead and suddenly she felt alone but where others would grieve, there was instead an unfamiliar anger that boiled within her, threatening to erupt. Her vision blurred and her heart was suddenly painful in her...

Seventeen men all huddled beneath a rusted hull had seemed entirely too convenient, but that didn't matter now as they were finished here. It had been rather reckless of her to move on without Brandr but in the end, it had worked in their favor- they were finished here and he could move on...

Seventeen more men waited in the next area- what was assumed to have been a rather small operation was turning out to be much larger than she could have anticipated. It wasn't anything that Arthemise couldn't handle but still, she found herself increasingly appreciative for Brandr's presence...

"I would hate for you to overexert yourself." Arthemise muttered beneath her breath, back turned on Brandr as she stalked towards the remaining guard. His eyes were wide with fear, blaster aimed towards her but his aim shaken in his panic. Arthemise smirked, watching as he stumbled backward two...

There was little point in trying to be genuine as Brandr was less than receptive. In honesty, Arthemise wasn’t quite sure why she had cared to try in the first place but it became increasingly clear that he wasn’t interested and showed her little kindness in return. In theory, if anything were...

"Honestly, half-pint? Is that the best insult you could come up with on short notice?" Arthemise teased with a smile, giving Brandr a gentle push to move him out of her way. It hadn't taken a genius to figure out that the door was locked, but it would take someone with a bit more patience to...

Arthemise definitely didn't like him, of that she was certain. Brandr spoke down at her in a dismissive tone, one that suggested that he didn't care much for her either which was fine, if she were being honest. There was a time where she would have hidden behind someone stronger when presented...

She was silent for a moment, her eyes rested on the unfamiliar man who stood in front of her- a brutish sort of fellow with a rather unforgiving attitude. It was clear from his tone that he'd rather be anywhere else but instead he found himself here, filling in for Zazai who must have decided he...

Botajef - Late evening. It was dark, the moon high in the skies and a cold chill moved through the mountains. Arthemise sat, perched upon a rock that overlooked the shipyards, and admired the dense fog that coated the fields surrounding. Massive rusted structures protruded from behind the...

It hadn’t been easy to overcome the trials Evandrus had laid before her, but still she succeeded. She was tired, her body ravaged by pain, heart still racing in her chest but she didn’t move. Her eyes, trained him him, waiting for him to speak. Arthemise knee better than to walk away from him or...

Her head was thrown back, eyes meeting his own. They weren’t inviting and she sensed no small amount of raw power within him. For the first time, Arthemise feared Evandrus and still her respect and dedication to him did not fade. He had taken her and molded her into a dauntless and unforgiving...

Her heart pounded in her chest, limbs still trembling as she stared up at him in absolute silence. Her breath was labored and the pain had no subsided, but she remained standing in front of him. She could feel her knees threatening to give out beneath her, but fought to maintain her balance as...

Her mind raced, her thoughts tangled and incomprehensible as she fought the pain that ravaged her small frame. He wanted her to break down, to beg him to stop so that she could catch her breath, but that would only prove that she wasn’t ready to become a true Sith. It would do nothing for her...
