Entry Four: Punishment.
*The following holo-diary is entirely audio based, no visuals are noted as the familiar voice of Valkara becomes audible. *
“Things seem to be looking up, I think. I have kept myself busy by creating my own alliance within the acolytes. I do however, already belong to one though I wouldn’t consider it an alliance in the slightest. My alliance currently consists of myself, Eliannah, Leive and Aethean.
I have recently encountered some others and brought the alliance to light, understandably they are weary of such an offer and only ally themselves with me until the others have proven their worth.
The alliance grows, and it will continue to do so in time; only to allow entry for those who have more than proven themselves trustworthy. I would even consider these people friends… I’ve missed that. However, my current situation has given me some cause for concern for my allies safety.”
“My emotions were running at an all-time high and somehow Lord Sanguinis became aware. This was shortly after the lesson involving Marlios. Aethean was present within the medbay recovering from wounds inflicted during the prior training. I came to see how he was, though after a short conversation we were rudely interrupted by the sudden appearance of Lord Sanguinis. He was just staring… I felt my heart sink, I didn’t know how to respond or what to say at the time. After the silence had ended abruptly, he began to demand answers to questions regarding Aethean and i. I informed him that he is one of my friends within the acolytes.
“Friends are for the Jedi, Allies are for the Sith” – Lord Sanguinis.
“I thus rephrased my answer, informing him that Aethean is one of my allies within the acolytes. Though, my choice of wording on the subject simply caused more issues as Lord Sanguinis progressed to torment and harm Aethean as his questions became more in-depth. Even threatening to tell Aethean ‘The Truth’ and as expected, he was left asking questions. I didn’t wish to put anymore of the allies in harm’s way and so I refused him, I stepped up and faced him although I can honestly say I wasn’t in my right mind at the time. I was angry, furious… I had been partly responsible for a death and now I was being toyed with, with someone I care for taking the blow. He was becoming more forceful, grabbing Aethean by the face and progressed to shock him continuously… then it happened. I snapped out of the trance I was in, I looked to Aethean with a look of horror as he was even worse than he was previously.
Why is this happening? I cannot control these emotions, I lose sight of myself and it seems someone else always pays the price.
*A familiar background noise becomes audible over the holo communicator, those onboard the ship may recognise the sound of the blast doors opening and closing. Following soon after, various mumbled sounds are heard as it’s clear someone had been addressing Valkara though what is said is muffled and inaudible. Shortly after, Valkara’s voice perks up again. *
“In other news, we were taken into a tomb to recover something that the lords considered a great importance. I won’t bore you with the details, however the experience was one I’ll be sure to remember. They had trials throughout, along with various tricks and traps scattered through the corridors. We had to face undead corpses that had risen, they were as strong as myself; disregarding their decomposing state. We bested them and progressed on. There were several trials, however we all managed to make our way through although that isn’t even the interesting part of the whole ordeal. Apprentice Siors decided it would be a wise idea to steal a necklace from the temple, which thus resulted in the whole tomb collapsing… but we managed to escape. Though such idiocy required a punishment and that punishment was dealt out much sooner than expected plus we were witnessed to it. Lord Sanguinis made it clear to all those present that such ignorance would be punished before the swift removal of Siors arm from his elbow. I couldn’t watch, he may have been an idiot, but no one deserves what he had received… though perhaps it was more of a show of power, Lord Sanguinis making it known to not go against his orders otherwise the punishments will be severe. Just makes me disgust him more.”
“To conclude, the force visions I have been experiencing have drowned out though not entirely gone. I think it’s because I have had no other choice but tap into my emotions and use them when manipulating the force throughout my time here. Although this helps me with the fact of gaining sleep and rest for the trials to come it’s also proving that I’m leading down a dark path; one I would rather keep myself from following.”
