Zerrid's earliest memory was from around the age five or six. The man he had only ever known as Master had brought him to a barren world. The sky was thick with ash thrown into the air by a volcano in the distance. The air burned the young accolytes lungs as he was given his instructions. He was told he would either make it to the base of the volcano or he would die. Even at his young age he had learned his lesson about asking questions, the scars on his back each told the story of time he had questioned the wisdom of his Master.
Chapter One: From Ash to Ash
Just as he took his first steps towards the looming volcano on the horizon, his Master commanded that he give him his shoes. The young Chiss hesitated for just a second which earned him a blow to the face. Head still reeling from the slap, he took his boots off and laid them at his Master's feet. With a short, condescending bark of laughter, his Master boarded the ship they had just arrived on and left the boy alone.
The hot air swilled around the young Chiss as he took his first steps towards the Volcano. Within minutes his feet began bleeding from small cuts caused by the jagged rocks. With each agonizing step, pain turned into anger which grew to a seething anger for the masked man who had brought him here. With each step, he knew that all he wanted to do with his life was to destroy the man he called Master.
As the hours turned into the first day, the pain in his feet was overridden by the burning in his lungs. It was difficult to even breathe in the place. He had found a pool of acrid water halfway through his second day and fell into it. He pulled himself back up to find several large leeches had latched on to his skin. In a panic, he ripped one from his skin. The pain was almost enough to make him pass out on the spot. He could feel the poison spread through his body as the numbness started at arms and legs and spread. Just as he began to collapse the ground he caught himself and looked at the volcano.
He focused on the pain and anger he felt until that was all he perceived. As it consumed him more and more, he felt the poison in his body being boiled away. Through clenched teeth, he picked up a jagged rock and pried the remaining creatures from his body. he carefully gulped down several mouthfuls of the stagnant water which caused him to gag as he forced himself to keep the foul liquid down.
He forced himself to another step towards the volcano, and then another. It would be another full day before he finally reached the foot of the volcano and spotted the small ship his master used with its ramp down. He forced himself forward, body covered in cuts and bruises from the three-day hike. All of his senses had faded away, being replaced by a hate filled determination to live just one more day.
He collapsed onto the landing ramp of the ship. As he lay on his back, looking up and the black and red sky, he saw his Master appear above him.
"Pathetic." was the only work he heard before his world faded to black.Shorlty after his test on the volcano world, he was introduced to his Master's other apprentice. The next decade would be a mix of constant competition but also companionship with the girl. Zerrid, in many ways, hated the girl due to her often having just a slight edge over him in almost all that they did. This was not something his Master would let him forget, driving the point in whenever he could.
Chapter Two: There Could Always Only Be One
At the same time, she was really the only thing he had ever had the resembled a friend or family member. Zerrid knew there were other Sith, and had even been to the Temples a and full of time, but was never allowed interaction with the other acolytes. The two young Sith would spend countless nights discussing many things, but it inevitably would lead to their plans of revenge against their Master.
During these years, they both received individual training with the lightsaber and the use of the Force. These skills were constantly put to the test against one another or increasingly dangerous and near impossible test. Even with his jealousy, he fell more in love with the girl as they faced countless dangers. The only times he had ever considered himself happy were the times spent with her.
They had both been told their training was going to be complete after one final test that they would conquer together. Zerrid was relieved that he wouldn't have to face this challenge alone. They arrived on a small island in the dead of night. The only lights came from a distant lightning storm. They were told only one of them would be allowed to leave this planet. If they didn't decide, they would both forfeit their lives.
Zerrid was shocked but by the time he looked over at his friend, she was already rushing him, lightsaber drawn. He only had enough time to move back far enough to not be cut in two as the lightsaber slashed across his chest. There was no more time for thinking, he only reacted, fueled by the total betrayal he had just experienced.
The desperate battle seemed to last forever, but as the rain began to pour down, the woman slipped on the wet rocks, lightsaber tumbling from her grasp. He stood over her, as she quickly begged for his mercy, reminding him of their plans to kill their Master. She confessed that she loved him, but Zerrid only felt the pain and anger from the earlier betrayal. He had been played all along. He had been played his whole life. No longer.
"Pathetic." was the only thing she heard before her world faded to black, thunder concealing her dying whimper.
