Entry 4: Comprehension, Deconstruction & Reconstruction
The pureblood would step into frame and is quick to descend upon the high-backed chair in the center of the recording. The Apprentice is currently wearing his black and dark red coloured trenchcoat, all of the metal plating had been removed, as well as his utility belt. He'd sigh deeply in exhaustion, leaning forward onto his knees as he does so.
''The last few days forced me to think, to comprehend, to understand my flaws and qualities. After my defeat and humiliation at the hands of Apprentice Vaenra I have spoken to a variety of people. First with Apprentice Temekel, who patched my up through a painfull session with her use of Tnimi. She suggested something, a way to regain a proper reputation. To hunt, to fight and to kill a Jedi. I was unsure what to think at the time, i was to focused on my defeat. Not long after that, Apprentice Zhaixe visited me, and made me see that I just need to be smarter, need to find my own path and follow it through till the end.''
Khatatas would run his left hand through his jet black hair that was currently at shoulder length, dropped down with locks of hair swept to the right, partially covering his eye. Creating a rather interesting new look for the Apprentice.
''It has come to my attention that, ever since my defeat at Vaenra's hands that a variety of people are trying to 'help' me, to 'change' or 'mold' me. This was quite annoying, especially the attempts from Apprentice Black and Vaenra. They don't seem to understand that I will not accept their offers, I will not be in their debts, even if I did need their help. Even so, I was aware of the fact that I needed to start evolving. This was once again explained during a meeting between my Dota, Apprentice Zutauha... and Apprentice Soyut. I had a brief conversation with the latter today as well. I wished to know what my flaws are according to him. They have been explained and I understood. The first step has been achieved. Comprehension.''
The man of purity would open his mouth widely as he yawned shamelessly, doing so while leaning back against the chair. He'd raise his chin ever so slightly, revealing the bags underneath his eyes. His left hand slowly traced towards his abdoment and rested there, while his right remained resting comfortably on his knee.
''The second step will be more of a challange. Deconstruction. I am to destroy my flaws in order to build them back up in their desired form. However, the question is: How do I do that without damaging my reputation, or what's left of it at least. Normally, I couldn't care less about my own reputation, but thanks to the insight of Sith Cautus and Apprentice Soyut, I am now able to see that by increasing my own reputation, I improve that of House Ronith as a whole. As such I shall proceed to think on a variety of ways to go about this.''
The pureblooded man would raise his right hand and rubs his eyes for a moment as he fell silent for a good twenty seconds or so. His exhaustion clearly visible.
''In the conversation I had previously with Apprentice Soyut we spoke about the third and final step. I doubt that he'll describe it as such however. Reconstruction. In this step, I or am to salvage the broken down variables and reshape them into their desired form. In this case, my reputation. I mentioned the three options I could think of that might be of use. The first being the most direct, being that I have to defeat and humiliate Apprentice Vaenra, get revenge. However, it has been made clear that she is not worth enough to bother. The second was the suggestion done by Apprentice Temekel, to hunt, fight and kill a Jedi. This also has been made clear to be foolish without having the right reputation to build upon, which I do not have in the present time. Soyut, did offer to hunt with me once I have proven my value, something I gladly accepted. But then the third one, that is my ticket to regain my lost reputation. The remnant cell of the Arious that I was notified on by Sith Frost. Destroy, convert or capture them. The latter being the best option out of the three according to Apprentice Soyut. I shall be preparing to do just that, however I do not think I can wait too long, otherwise they might be notified of my plans or perhaps another might find them before I even get the chance to act.''
Khatatas would close his eyes and rest his head on the back of the chair, breathing slowly as the fatigue was pulling him to the lands of his twisted nightmares. Ten seconds of silence go by and he remains there. Twenty seconds go by and still nothing happens. Thirty second have passed and a quiet sigh could be heard.
''About ten minutes prior to my conversation with Soyut I had been summoned by my Kirs, Sith Cautus. My first task was one of endurance and combat he said. After getting permission from Apprentice Soyut to leave his estate I took a shuttle from Dromund Fells to the Horuset Spire on Dromund Kaas. As usual I met up with my master in the laboratory, I was prepared and dressed into my recently bought set of armour. We left for the Dromund Kaas spaceport and entered a fury-class interceptor. Quite the ship, I need one of those one of these days. In any case. We took off and I had to hand over all my GPS related equipment as well as my helmet with the bioscanner attachment. I was going to be dropped of at a small island and required to hunt my prey. I was not informed on the prey, not the general flora or fauna, nor the planet in general. He really wanted this to remain secret. He lead be to believe I was hunting yet another beast. Was I wrong however.''
The half-sleeping pureblood released a half-hearted chuckle out of amusement.
''My master escorted me towards the ramp of the spacecraft as we had landed, he told me I would meet my prey in thirty seconds exact. He was wrong, I counted and I had to wait for thirty-two seconds. Regardless there was a very skinny girl, dressed in a tank top and simple shorts. She had brown hair and.... blue eyes if I recall correctly. Since I was told that she was going to be my prey I used my force sense so that I would be able to lock onto her presence, and it felt nauseating. The light side, she was a Jedi. I instantly felt the anger from Lythare return to me. Sith Cautus threw a concussion blade to her as a means of arming her, which I interrupted. I am not going to hand my enemy a weapon if I can use it instead. I had to give the Jedi a ten second headstart, which I did, I was confidant that I could take her in her current condition without a weapon. The moment I started to count she started to run, to which I followed once finished. But due to the uselessness of following someone faster than you and a headstart I had to be smart instead. I naturally memorised the man of island and noticed that the woman was moving around it, so I just went through it instead. And... I noticed that the trees were pecular, as if they were enchanted or cursed through Kizia perhaps? I also noticed that there were quite a few camara's and not to mention the probe droid that watched my every move. Either way, I continued and tried to approached her stealthed and my presence dampened, she then caught me off guard and regained her weapon. She was quick, acrobatic, she was using the fourth form of lightsaber combat, Ataru. At first I didn't think, but then when I did the fight was over quicker than I had expected. I turned her own force of radical movements and speed against her through simple pulls and pushes. And with the power of timing, Shiim strikes and force shock I was able to defeat her. I patched her up and carried her back. She begged me to kill her, and I saw a great oppertunity. I leanred that Sith Cautus used her as his play thing, to try and convert her, but was unable to. My master's incompetance gave me an advantage over her. I was able to persuade her that the Sith are supirour, that we offer freedom, that she'd lose no matter what she choose but that by enrolling in the Academy she still had a chance, that she had to use the despair my master had created and before long. She accepted, she will be sent off to Korriban, if my Kirs is not to possessive over her. I thought that Apprentice Temekel would take care of that....''
Khatatas shaked his head as he sighed. He'd slowly push himself to his feet, realeasing a variety of grunts and groans as he did. He'd take the trenchcoat off and eventually move out of frame. Mere seconds later the recording would stop.
