The Perseverance (Tithe's training)

[Snuffalupagus]

Tithe awoke with a sharp pain in his bicep as woke up. He winced as he ran his other hand over the wound. It was still freshly cut and deep. He sat up from his bed as it creaked from his sheer weight. Standing up, he felt the weight of his massive frame. His muscles had been pushed to their limit and he was feeling the effects. Tithe walked over to the corner of his cell and peered into a puddle. His face was scratched all down its left side from sliding on the ground. Tithe had just participated in another tournament on Rattatak, and it had taken its toll. He ached all over and was bleeding from many various cuts.

Looking into the water he reflected the image of his cut arm. His tattoo of a squid was now cut in half, separated by a massive sword slash. He ripped off a part of his bed sheet and began wrapping it several times over the wound, to cut the bleeding.

Tithe went back to lay in his bed and try to heal and recuperate his thoughts. As he closed his eyes he felt the presence of something strong. The presence seemed familiar to Tithe. He concentrated his mind on the object. It had the image of what looked like a man, hooded and cloaked in robes. The man was headed to Tithe's cell.

He got up again and stood in front of the durasteel bars of his cell.

The man in dark robes walked down towards the cells were the gladiator slaves were kept. His metallic boots clacked against the floor as he walked and they came onto the hard duracrete floor. Underneath his robes was a suit of black light armour, over his head a hood and around his eyes a red silk headband was tied. Hidden beneath his robes were his pair of red bladed, curved-hilt lightsabers.

Aiden had come here merely for some entertainment when he came to watch the gladiators do battle but was plesantly suprised when a small rift in the force reached him from one of the combatants. He fed off anger and rage and also happened to be quite the physical specimen.

He began to reach towards a staircase that led down to where the fighters were held and a Trandoshan with a rifle blocked his way.

"You no go down there. Leave now blind fool." He hissed.

Aiden grinned before extending his hand and launching the poor man down the stairs with a powerful force push. He feel backwords and landing with a sickening crunch as his body weight came down on his neck. Aiden decended the stairs and punted the now paralyzed man in the side of his head with his metal boot.

Reaching out with the Force, Aiden let his dark presence be known to those in the area. Any Force sensatives would feel a chill of fear if they were unaccustomed to the Dark Side. Before long he stood in front of the cell of the man whom he was looking for.

"Are you the one who just fought?" Aiden asked the beast of man.

Tithe relished in the display of energy that was expelled from the cloaked man. It was as if he was emanating terror. Tithe suddenly felt a wealth of cold run down his spine and immediately began to sweat.

There was a loud thud as Tithe heard the Trandoshan slam into the wall. A smile crept across his lips.

This was going to be a good day.

Looking down the hall, Tithe saw the hooded come closer.

"Are you the one who just fought?" the man asked. There was so much power in this one man.

"Yes." Tithe answered, trying his best to hide the fear in his voice. "Who are you?"
