The Acolyte and the Padawan [ closed ]

[Lucia Rose]

Lucia had recently joined the Sith, and was the lowest rank, an Acolyte, though she already had some of her own "training" ( not much as far as using the force or a lightsaber, though ) from her days when she was alone on Coruscant. When she was only twelve, she started practicing with her dagger she stole from a dead man, and the girl even manipulated a person into trusting her then later killed them when she was a teenager. She did so without a sign of remorse, and was prepared to kill in the future without mercy. Lucia was somewhat bloodthirsty and a bit ruthless, though she could manage to keep herself under control.

Her long caramel colored cascaded down her back and almost reached her waste, but still had a few inches to go before it was that length. Her pale skin was slightly startling and even appeared a bit ghostly, and her dark eyes had not a sign of warmth. Her loose, thin, dark Sith robes flowed down her body almost elegantly, and even though she looked rather alarming at first sight, Lucia could be considered particularly beautiful. As she crept through the halls of the Jedi Academy, the silence was almost unnaturally quiet. She sensed someone else - specifically a Jedi: it was most definitely a user of the force and not a Sith - in her presence, though from what she could see, they weren't yet in the same room as her.

The young Acolyte - or Sith Hopeful as some referred to her as - made her way through the corridors, and finally reached the room where she felt the Jedi ( or maybe Padawan, who knows ) in. Lucia felt her dagger inside her robe and had her lightsaber ready for combat if necessary, but hopefully she could keep this murder relatively silent without much argument. As she came closer, she could distinctly recognize a young man with dark blonde hair and piercing blue eyes with the robes of a Jedi ( possibly Padawan, she couldn't really tell the difference ) come into view. He looked like he was begging for a fight, though she didn't make a move with her weapons yet and instead stood there in the darkness, blending in not completely but rather well.

It was a sunny day at the Jedi Academy. The sun was shining brightly and the weather was pretty warm. Indeed, it seemed like a good day for training. In the morning, Draven woke up earlier than usual and wore his Padawan robe before he left his room without having a breakfast. He made his way into the training area of the academy while the others were still sleeping. He never liked training with other rookie Padawans so morning was the best option for him to do some training.

After he reached the destination, he stepped inside the area and looked around carefully. His eyes were searching for a Jedi Knight to practice his fighting skills. He gazed the area for a moment as he finally saw his master there. He walked closer to him, taking his own lightsaber in his hands as he narrowed his eyes and spoke loudly.

"Show me what you got, master."

Then they both started to fight. Of course it wasn't a real fight but Draven took it seriously. He was always serious when it comes to fighting. His moves were pretty fast for a Padawan but he wasn't as wise as his Jedi master. That's why he couldn't win against him. His anger, it was blinding him while he was fighting but also it gave him his extraordinary power. At the end of the training, he didn't win against his master as usual but he was improving, for sure.

After a long training at the academy, he got out of the area and made his way back to his room. He walked along the corridor to reach his room when he heard some unfamiliar footsteps nearby. He was sure that he heard it right so he suddenly stopped in the middle of the corridor and turned his head to look around for a moment as he shouted.

"Show yourself!"

 

[Lucia Rose]

Lucia stifled a cold laugh. Of course she wasn't going to laugh, that would give her whole identity away much too fast. It was stupid for the boy to demanded for her to show herself: in what occasion would that every work against a Sith? She quickly devised a plan of how she would handle the Padawan ( now she could clearly see which he was because of his robes ). His death would hopefully be pretty quick, though he seemed like he was going to put up a fight. Lucia could use her dagger, hold it to his throat, maybe interrogate him for a few minutes, then kill him, but what would realistically happen would be after the Acolyte put her dagger to the Padawan's throat would be him whipping out his lightsaber, then Lucia and him would fight using their sabers. Oh, what fun. Hopefully she can do some damage with her dagger, though. The quicker she was out of the Jedi Academy the better.

Quietly pulling out her dagger, she came out of the darkness and held her weapon to the Padawan's throat. "Don't scream, talk, or even laugh until I ask you further questions." Lucia smiled sweetly, "Don't try to get out your lovely lightsaber either, even though I know you are urging for your weapon. I have one too, and I will not hesitate to slice both your hands and your head off." She paused and looked around the corridor to make sure other Jedi weren't approaching. Why did she even come here? She was bored. The Sith always approved of killing of Jedi, anyway. She snapped herself out of her short train of thought. "Now," Lucia began. "How long have you been a Padawan. Wait - don't answer that. It may hurt your throat." She laughed coldly. "I can either quickly finish you off in a few seconds, or you can put up a fight where you will still lose, and just make your death painfully linger."

 

[Draven Serpentes]

He looked around the place with curious eyes, trying to find out the stranger's hiding spot. He didn't guess that he was going to face a Sith lady. He was about to turn his back and head back to his room but that moment he suddenly felt a dagger on his throat. He tried to move his head away from that small weapon but he couldn't. It was hurting his throat and he knew that it could slice his throat if he kept moving his head.

So he stopped moving for a second and looked up to fully face the stranger. He couldn't believe that it was only a young woman but he was pretty sure that she was a Sith lady. He gazed her face for a while, memorizing her appearance as well. He wasn't going to forget that face. After a long gaze, he raised a single eyebrow and hardly opened his mouth to speak as he spoke with anger.

"You made a serious mistake."

He quickly pushed the dagger away from his throat and stood up, facing her again but this time in same conditions. His anger was growing inside as he took out his lightsaber and pointed it at her face. This was going to be a real challenge for him and no matter what happens, he was going to attack her. He held his lightsaber strongly with both hands and waited for her to attack him when he shouted.

"Now! Come and get it!"

 

[Lucia Rose]

Lucia was sure that he was going to fight back. And he did. He pushed her dagger to the floor and pointed her lightsaber at her face. She needed her dagger back. Although it wasn't very expensive, it had been hers for over seven years, and she wasn't going to lose it to a Padawan today. She had been training with the force over the last few days, and surely she could find the strength to summon her dagger a few feet away from her hand. She meditated on getting it for a few seconds, still looking the Jedi's apprentice coldly in the eye, she couldn't keep her guard down. Soon, the dagger lifted into her hand, and she slid it back into her robe.

She pulled out her lightsaber, turned it on, and listened to the steady hum of the two lightsabers, his lightly colored and her weapon an electric red. She didn't divert her gaze away from her opponent, but slowly backed away so his lightsaber wasn't right in her face, threatening to kill her. The funny thing was, before Lucia attacked the young man, she felt something strange.

"You're quite angry," the Acolyte remarked. "I thought the Jedi were supposed to control their emotions." She smirked. Was this boy truly training to be a Jedi, or just acting the part? The force let her sense basic emotions and presences of people in a room with her or beside her, though it didn't let her know much more than that. She could detect a strong aura of anger that wasn't her own coming from this Padawan, though.

Lucia struck her lightsaber at him, quickly spinning behind him and striking it at his arm. Usually people attacked from the front, so maybe a surprise attack would give her a few seconds of an advantage. "Are you sure you're ready to fight?" She taunted. Soon his anger was going to take him over, although it may drive him to preform well, even Siths learn they have to control themselves while fighting.

 

[Draven Serpentes]

He stared at her face with a mad look upon his own face. Unlike the other Jedi and Padawan, he felt like he was going to be satisfied if he could destroy her once and for all. That's why his masters didn't approve him to become a Jedi. They knew that he was powerful but his power was nothing without control and it was so obvious that he didn't know how to control himself.

He listened to his opponent carefully and stepped back a little bit, standing out of her reach as she pulled out her lightsaber as well. She was making him even more angry, that was for sure. He knew that she was trying to use his rage against him with her words. He also tried to fight back against his own feelings but he couldn't. He could only tell that she was pretty good at mind games.

That moment he felt like losing his control so it was time for him to attack her directly. He took a few steps closer to her, knowing that he could destroy her easily. He was about to attack her first but before he acted, she spinned behind him and attacked him from behind. Good thing, he was athletic enough to dodge her attack. He dodged from her lightsaber then turned back to her with his usual smirk upon his face as he replied.

"I was born ready. How about you ask that question to yourself?"

 

[Lucia Rose]

Lucia didn't let her slight sense of dissatisfaction when he dodged her sly attack stop her, and instead used that as a way to motivate herself. If the Padawan didn't get hit by her first attack, then she just had to try harder, though make sure not to loose control. Yes, her hatred and anger can enhance her abilities, but if she got completely out of control then those emotions would lead to her demise. Her words seemed to quickly anger the boy, so she could use her tongue as a weapon to bend the odds a bit in her favor. He may be able to resist a lightsaber, but he wasn't a perfect Jedi who could over power in every area. She couldn't: no one could.

The girl ignored his last comment about himself being "Born Ready" and then trying to make a combat, and instead went on to make another sly remark, "I wonder why the Jedi even let you in and made you a Padawan. Stupid choice on their part. That faction really needs some intelligent people, yet those all end up being Sith," Lucia falsely sighed. "I can already tell you're thinking darker, angrier thoughts, but the Sith won't accept you after being committed to the Jedi. Now, there are no Sith Emperors who will gladly take you as your apprentice after you were a Jedi," She smirked. "That only happened in history.

She spun her lightsaber playfully, ignoring the hole she just made in the wall with her weapon. She didn't care: Lucia wasn't the one who had to live with the damage. Soon, she sent a controlled jab at the Padawan's chest, going through the side. "What's your name?' She asked as if they were in a casual situation. "I've just been referring to you in my mind as The Disturbed Padawan."
