The Lesser of Two Evils (Sojse Yukan's Training)

[Lt. Beardsly]

Sitting outside the doors, Sojse again shuddered from the cold. The figure had been in there for quite some time now. Sojse wasn't sure what to expect. Just as a thought of fleeing came to his mind, the dark figure emerged from the doors. Sojse still couldn't see any details about what the figure looked like, only that menacing dark cloak and the aura that emitted from it.

"Follow," the omnipresent voice commanded as the figure walked past Sojse and down the hallway they were in.

Sojse was quick to obey the figure's order, and followed behind it. Looking at the architecture of the structure, he could see that it was meant to instill fear into anyone who had not grown accustomed to it. It was fulfilling it's purpose to the letter. Deciding that the figure wasn't going to kill him, Sojse closed the space between the two for some sort of security.

The figure came to halt in-front of a door, and without even facing it, the door opened. The figure raised it's left arm and allowed a black glove-covered finger emit from the end of it's robe.

"In.

Sojse nodded, walking into the room. Before he could turn to face the figure, the doors were closed. Turning to see where he was, Sojse saw it was some sort of bedroom. It provided the basic necessities to living, and not much else. Was this where he was going to be living now? It seemed likely, but he wasn't sure. Thinking about his situation, Sojse decided that, so far, it would be better for him to stay here then try to return home.

Before he could examine the room closer, Sojse felt something else approaching. The feeling wasn't as strong as the one he got near the dark figure, but it was similiar and just as menacing.

 

[Count Sam]

Today the young instructor was just going to teach another acoylte. And he was well prepared due to the fact that he was now way stronger than before. Yeah all thanks to his current master mortifacur, and of course his hatred toward his former master. Tahn slowly walked in the room where his new apprentice was kept. He was wearing his usual dark robes, and had his lightsaber's hilt hanging from his belt as usual.

"hmmm you are Soje I assume?" Tahn spoke in a rude, and emotionless tone to his apprentice.

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

Sojse turned around to face the person who had arrived. The feeling was coming from him, certainly. Keeping the smile on his face, Sojse nodded.

"Yes, I'm Sojse... Who are you?" the boy asked, his curiosity overpowering his logic.

 

[Count Sam]

"I am Tahn, a crusader of the dark side. However from now on you would call me master only" Tahn spoke again in a rude tone as he glared at the young acolyte.

"So tell me why did you come here?" Tahn said as he started to rotate around his apprentice.

"Let me guess you are here to take revenge from some one, or maybe you hate the Jedi order, or maybe your just here to gain power." Tahn spoke in a less serious tone now for he was playing with his apprentice's mind.

"so tell me what brings a pathetic creature like you here?"

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

Sojse retained his smile, even though the tone of the one he was to call Master put him down, as well as the insult. He had grown used to abuse, though. It's what the past eight years were. Mental and physical abuse.

"I'm here because I didn't want to die," Sojse said, the face of the third Republic soldier the figure had killed stained in his memory. Judging by the expression on the soldier's face, the figure didn't bless him with a painless death. It looked similiar to a face Sojse would have made years ago while his uncle was on one of his drunken fits.

 

[Count Sam]

Tahn gave out a loud laugh as he listened to his apprentice's pathetic words."Well if you came here looking for a place where you can have a peacful life then I assure you you came to the wrong place dear" Tahn said as he used the force to quickly move behind his apprentice. He then sent a strong wave of force push toward his apprentice's back to knock him.

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

Sojse fell forwards, landing on the side of his face. Laying there for a few moments, he tried to hold back a quick chuckle, but failed. This wasn't anything he wasn't already used to. At least the falling on his face part. Never had his uncle pushed him without actually pushing him, but the feeling was just the same. Fumbling to get up, Sojse turned to face the man he was to call Master. His smile continued to show on his face, even though a clear bruise was forming on his right cheek.

"You remind me a bit like my uncle. Though, he never punished me the way you just did..." Sojse said, trailing off with his comment. So far he had seen somebody hold a man in the air, and now push Sojse down without coming into contact.

"How did you do that?..... Master." Sojse asked, almost forgetting that he was supposed to call the man Master.

 

[Count Sam]

"Well a better question is...What are you ready to give in return in order to learn that, and what are your motivates exactly?" Tahn said in a cunning tone as he gave out an evil laugh. Everything was going just as fine as he wanted it to be, and now the young boy was starting to thirst for power, and soon he was going to be ready to give anything in return in order to learn that.

It was not going to be so long before the kid's soul was going to get corrupted by the dark side.

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

Sojse shook his head negatively, "No, I just wanna know how you did it. The person that brought me here did something like it." It was childish curiosity that was overtaking Sojse. Just like a kid in a candy store.
