ROYAL ACADEMY, DOLLA, LOCAL TIME: 0237

The sounds of bones cracking was surreal and grimly satisfying; force tendrils wrapped around necks of the two royal guards, Caucasian flesh rendered a molten blue as asphyxiation took over. Limbs flailing in open air as their bodies were hoisted several inches off the ground, providing no support for them to resist. It was futile and within seconds the resistance ended, their breathless carcasses succumbed to the dark external forces at play. Roman gestured with his right hand, allowing the bodies to fall to the ground with a simple thud. An itch or perhaps better term would be addiction, inflicting merciless cruelty to those he deemed as unworthy. Now that the defense was removed from the academy gates, his armored form advanced further into the castle. Moonlight glistened above head, as the ebony Sentinel armor was cloaked brilliantly by midnight darkness.
Lightsaber hilt was at his waist though he did not ignite it, the crimson light would certainly attract attention and for the time being they required some execution of stealth. The sith sword at his back was instead clasped in the right grip, its shimmering blade vibrating with a dull "hmm" though emitting no colors as characteristic of the vibroweapon. Eyes darted towards his left as he came atop the platform ending from the stairwell. A singular wooden door stood in his path, one Roman knew he had to cross to gain access to the lower levels of this building. Fingers of his left hand curled into a claw, gesturing as he rippled against the locked mannifold and yanked its centerpiece forward. The door cracked ever so slightly, causing the guard settled within to investigate almost immediately. What the man did not know however, was the danger that awaited him. As his torso came into opening, the Sith Champion lunged forwards in a fluid and seamless movement. His weapon piercing through belly effortlessly, trail of bright red blood staining the cobblestone floor as the strong Roman raised his arm and levitated his opponent off the ground. Still struggling, Roman summoned a ghastly green glow across his fingertips, snatching forwards in a form of Force Drain.
As the essence of life was sucked from the man, it replenished the Sith's own addiction and craving. Also brightening his strength and resolve with the Force. Roman slid his sword out of the guard's stomach, body landing on the ground with a thud. Searching through his clothing, he found the set of keys that unlocked the next series of doors. Before advancing though, he knew this was the location he had requested his companion to rendezvous. She was also a Champion, her bravery well known in the battlefield for forcing two Jedi Knights into retreat. Roman was impressed to say the least, though had never had an opportunity to meet her prior to tonight's engagement.
And so he waited...
