Ask Here We Go Again II

[Thel Xeros]

Mustafar

Thel had brought Gemini to Mustafar for training, as soon as he could. It had now been some time since their first meeting on Ogem. Gemini had been left on Mustafar, to train with the instructors there, until Thel returned. He didn’t even like Mustafar, but he thought it sensible to bring them here. He was beginning to somewhat regret having allowed Param to settle on Troiken, but it was too late to change that now. He looked back favourably on the times when he was able to keep the operation on Troiken separate from most other Sith. Given Param’s unusually friendly manner, which he had tried to rid her of, she had welcomed a few different Sith to her home on the planet. She probably thought he didn’t know, but her Xexto “friends” were loyal to him. They kept him informed of those who visited her. He wouldn’t make the same mistake of letting other Sith get too close to the operations he ran, in future.

In general, he was displeased with his “fellow Sith”. He had worked hard to try and secure sources of income for the Sith Order. Admittedly, it was done entirely out of self-interest. He profited from all the operations he had acquired, and the resources he had gathered gave him a greater sense of security. However, the blundering incompetence of other Sith was a threat to him. The lack of resources and assets gathered by the others could potentially lead to more scrutiny being placed on him. The recent attacks on civilians were also unwelcome. He was even displeased with his former apprentice to some small extent. In most ways Param had been a good apprentice. She had been loyal and efficient. However, she was too soft. He’d never been able to rid her of that.

He'd sent instructions for Gemini to wait in a training room alone. When the large doors opened, Thel entered. He was dressed in his robes. “Greetings. I trust your time here on Mustafar has been productive so far?”

[Gemini]

When word of his Master's return reached his ears, he stood within his room one hand extended slightly outward as trio of benwa balls he had fashioned from Mustafar's ebony danced upward of his palm. It had been some time since Ogem and under the tutelage of the instructor's here, Gemini's skills had grown. Menial as they were in the grand envisioning for him, they were but a simple start. Grasping the balls, he placed them aside and quickly gathered himself as he exited his room and made way toward the training room indicated by Thel.

"I have healed well Master, but I wouldn't say everything has been as productive as could be." Gemini spoke from his knelt positive from Master Thel, his own envision of himself not quiet yet met, an envisionment he felt could only be refined directly under the man. "That fire from before. I want to harness it to its full potential. I want to leash the hell fires of my own heart upon those who become deemed my enemies."

But to get to that part, Gemini knew all too well the dangers this path would bring him down. But that didn't matter. No. With the memories of his path now coming to light, of how his Mother chose the life of a Mother over the possibilities of power the Sith had given her, and how lowly his Uncle had stooped simple because of his dislike of her choice even as a fifth generation legacy within the Sith, it was simply disgraceful. This left an burning anger in his heart that ached to be free. And he wanted to unleash it upon the Galaxy.

As frivolous as it was to wantonly share his pain upon complete strangers, he did not care. There was something within him, a primordial anger that boiled within his blood. Yet he blamed not the Sith, nor the Jedi for it. Nor did he blame his parents or his ludicrous Uncle. These were their paths and they walked it. His blame was upon society it's self. Upon all life. If he must walk this Galaxy as he had, then the Galaxy should walk as he did. With brazened eyes, he looked up toward his Master. His gaze and his mind were more focused, more refined. He had seen the path he walked. "I want to burn the Galaxy around me."
