Pt.2, Progress.

Utahis again would be seated, this time, he'd be sat somewhere else, not the Ship, no, he's surrounded by foliage, sat on a rock in a clearing on what appears to be Kaas.


"For every step I take... I take one back. Or, that's at least how it feels... It's strange, this... Dejection. It's driving me onward, we faced Rakghouls not too long ago, Acolyte Uldrinn and myself were the only acolytes present. He was afraid, and rightly so, a single scratch from a Rakghoul would be the end of you. He fought wisely, keeping back, only resorting to melee combat when necessary, yet, I rushed in once I had the opportunity. Not because I wanted to be on the front lines, no, not because Apprentice Vaenra and Tashha needed my aid... No this was a different feeling. A -need- to be on the front lines, a need to physically break my foes... As though If I wasn't the stalwart, or the aegis holding them back, I'd be punished by the gods themselves"

"Perhaps I would? Maybe it was Mekhath, Hezarkal or Zyantha pointing the way forwards?"

Rubbing his tongue on the tips of his sharp teeth, he'd look off into the bushes behind the camera's left, a smile came across his face and his eyes seemed to light up prior to speaking again.

"I've found a new weapon I'd like to train in however, while facing the Rakghouls, I realised fighting them with my training saber alone would be a death sentence, I found a steel pipe, about two or three feet long, with a solid durasteel lump, what I can only assume was once a conduit for cables. I used it as a makeshift mace. I found it, oddly satisfying, to see the way the once rigid skulls of the Rakghouls folded in on themselves like ruptured and deflated medicine balls. The power behind the mace too, shattering spines and splintering even the thickest of bones. I, unfortunately haven't been able to find anything on them or their use on the Acolyte Archives, perhaps, when I am apprenticed, I may be able to begin training with them? Perhaps create my own form of etiquette when using them?"

"I see both their benefits and their drawbacks, cracking armour and breaking the bones beneath, the mass of the mace also leans itself towards my Pureblooded strength, meaning it'd be all the more deadly. But it renders almost all marks of contact useless, rather than being able to stab or sever an opponents limb, it'd have to break them enough to render said appendage useless... But that, at least is food for thought. Perhaps something I could work on in what little spare time I have."

"The Camp is coming along, the Gods, in particular, will be pleased with me. I covered a large altar dedicated to all the Gods, while I did repairs and rebuilt it as best as I could. I'm not yet finished, still some engravings to touch up and ironwork to polish, rust is surprisingly tricky to remove."

Utahis would chuckle to himself, taking a rock from the ground and running it between his fingers, his Blood-ebony claws, gently heard rapping against the stone.


"Another twist of fate... As soon as my mind became repaired, my heart was broken. She told me she wanted to put what we have on hold, for the time being. She has other things to deal with. I understand, completely, but... When you want to be the one who's closest to her, the one to support her and be her bastion, but she pushes you to the side... We're all stressed and exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically... I just--..."

"This isn't something I really should be talking about or focusing on anyway."

There'd be a moment of silence, Utahis looks through the clearings as a distant rumble of thunder is heard and the torrential rain of Kaas begins again, a few drops altering his figure as they pass in front of the lens of his Data pad's holo-camera.


"I wonder how long it will be until I get my revenge. Even during recent events I've been dwelling on it more and more. Should I raise who he is to one of the Lords? Inform them of who Tygrell is?"

"Hmm.. It conflicts me, I trust the Lords as far as I can, Lord Kalkoran the most, but even if they mention my name in passing and it reaches Tygrells ears, I'd lose the element of Surprise, but without mentioning it..."

"How can I rely on the support from the Houses? Apprentice Zhephra knows of him, but I am certain she hasn't told Lord Kalkoran yet, or maybe she has and they're both waiting to see what I'll do next?"

"I had an interesting conversation with Sovernus about Arkania, his home seems like it'd be a very suitable ally for the Empire, even more so than the Chiss Ascendancy. As far as my understanding goes, Arkanians and Purebloods have very similar views on Purity, only the best and most pure should be enabled to thrive and breed, however, the difference between us, is that we, the Pureblooded, seek purity through regression, almost as though we're trying to breed out the human DNA that is within us, becoming more and more like the Kissai of old, whilst at the same time we seek to breed the strongest, letting genetic defects die off in the wastes of Korriban or Jungles of Kaas, where as the Arkanians, seek purity through progression, eugenically breeding in the strongest genetics for the next generation, genetically removing defects."


"Even though he is an Alien, I can see how he is superior to most by right of blood. An intriguing culture none the less."

"Well, that's enough rambling for one day, I'd best return to my duties, the camp will not reorganize itself now, will it? I may upload some photos next time... Who knows?"


Utahis' figure would then be seen reaching for the Camera button, once again turning off the Holo Camera.
