Artorigas smiled behind his mask as the blue flames of the tombs torches burst into life, creating dancing shadows all around. This was truly made by Lord Andros, but now it was time to see if it was also made by the ancient Sith Lord. As Xeno spoke he nodded, the smile still hidden behind his mask as he continued to walk into the tomb. "Yes, the essence of The Force is so thick I can almost taste it. I have not felt this kind of concentrated power for a long time." It was only when he first visited the ancient worlds of the Sith had he felt this overwhelmed with power, though they now felt natural to him when he walked their. Perhaps over time even this condensed field of Dark Side energy would feel natural.
As he walked further forward he could feel a tug on his mind, he knew what it was as soon as it appeared. It was the Dark Side, the small part of him who had not given into its deepest darkest natures, the bit which gave him those blue eyes and light tone of voice. It was tempted, surrounded by so much potent Dark Energy, who would not be. Artorigas would put money on even a full Jedi being tempted in a place such as this.
Running his hand along the walls he felt the engravings on his fingertips, the sharp edges as the chisels had made their cuts still eerily sharp after such a long time. The passage sloped down, the angle was just enough to force Artorigas to lean back as he walked, it was a pain more than anything, it would make reacting quickly difficult his balance just off kilt as he moved. About two hundred yards down the passage it opened up into a large room, in the middle a large glowing black stone hung in mid air. As both he and the Zabrak entered a voice echoed out. "Kuris dares dalyva nuyak Kapas." Artorigas did not recognise the language so hesitated, then the voice appeared again. "Vea dares can'esah ch'eo Csucni." Again he knew not the language, but then finally he heard it. "Who dares enter my Tomb."
Stepping forward from the entrance of the room, Artorigas spoke loudly so even through the muffling of the rebreather he could be heard by all around. "I enter, Artorigas of House Wessex, A Sith and Seeker of Knowledge." Their was a moment of pause before the voice erupted in laughter. "You are no Sith." With the statement came lightning, a bolt flung out from the stone striking Artorigas clean in the chest sending him flying back into the stone behind him just missing Xeno by a hair. As he began to rise he watched as the smoking form of four Terentatek's poured out from the center stone. "This is not going to be easy." He said through gritted teeth pulling himself onto one knee.
