Entry 7: The Beginning of the End of Everything.
There was only darkness, yet there was light. There was silence, yet there was sound. There was cold, yet warmth. In the center of the image was a single flame, flickering coyly, sending of a radiance of light as it licked the blackness of the room, casting shadows over nothing but the arachnid covered helmet. The four eyes of the spider would flare into a bright red as a silhouette appeared behind it. The form moved, it descended into a sitting position, causing the man of purity to be revealed within the image. His eyes closed slowly, inhaling deeply before opening his eyes once more. The sleeves of his robes were rolled up, causing the 'z' shaped brandmarks to be within view of the recording. He finally spoke, exhaustion and curiousity audible.
''It's been weeks since my last entry, and.... a great many things worthy of note have happened, but today, I will only cover one, and most certainly the one that has the most weight to it.'' A long drawn out sigh could be heard, yet his form didn't appear to be moving. ''Months ago, whilst I was still and Acolyte, I assisted in reclaiming the outpost on Upekzar alongside my dota's and Apprentice Tashha. It was after this event, that I had recieved an encrypted message as well as two datachips. I was able to listen to the message, the datachips however were taken from me as well as a copy of the message by my dota, Zutauha. The person who send me this, congratulated me on passing a trial they had set up. Now I am unsure what the actual trial was, perhaps it was the reclamation of the outpost, or it might even have been the curse that was placed on me. Regardless it was odd, but it didn't stop there...''
The pureblood moved his hands to remove the helmet from it's place, turn it around in his grip and stare at it for several moments.
''Mere seconds after I was chosen by 'Sith' Cautus as his Apprentice, I recieved yet another message as well as holo-images and the coordinations of Mustafar...'' Khatatas would flick his wrist to the left and then there was a long moment of silence, only a quiet murmur could be heard, yet nothing was clear. But then, moments later a shadowy, unnatural voice would exhale deeply before it’d speak.
''Greetings, Ronith, once again congratulations on passing the first phase of our trials for you. I should mention that we require you to improve yourself…. And your position in order to qualify for the next phase.'' The entity speaking would once again be silent for a moment, until the click of it’s tongue would break it. ''Go to the Mustafar system and prove yourself to be worthy to both us and the purebloods of tradition. Of course, we expect you not to believe us, so we were generous enough to send the proof of the traitors with this message.'' The voice released a sharp chuckle of supiriourity. ''Good luck… Ronith. And always remember, we’ll be watching.''
The audio message would come to a stop, causing the pureblood to place the helmet back to it's previous location on the table. His eyes moving up to look directly into the recorder's lens.
So, with these holo-images of soldiers wearing the Arious insignia, I went to Lord Saud and requested permission to see them out and capture them, she denied my request, instead I was allowed to go there, gather more intel and report back. So that is what I did but.... I returned with many more questions and little to no answers... The man of purity ran his left hand through his hair as he continued. ''Upon arrival, it didn't take long before I encountered a large, mostly molten droid and mere minutes later a similar, much larger one. It activated, and I disabled it after a bried confrontation. The droid itself released humanoid screams, it appeared to be sentient. It was very old and had sustained much heat damage as well as lightsaber cuts in it's armor. Now, I only just now discovered these droids were Basilisk War Droids, first seen in the Great Sith War. I will find someone skilled in the field of robotic engineering and try to rebuild them, if I recall correctly, Apprentice Tashha is one of such individuals.''
Khatatas shifts his right hand to the side, and seconds later a small leatherbound journal would be pulled into his hand along side a pencil. He'd note something down before sending both items back to their previous location off-screen.
''Then I noticed two individuals approaching me, so I ducked into cover, and managed to hide my presence from the entirely near the wall of a courtyard. Most of the black surface of Mustafar is covered in magma rivers and black rock, which is also covered in thick layers of ash. Now, while near the wall I noticed some sort of carving on the outside, and upon removing most of the ash they appeared to be symbols.... of the Jedi Order, it was hard to tell how old it was exactly... I then continued to move to a batter vantage point, and these individuals I mentioned earlier, were armed soldiers, both of them having a perverted version of the Arious insignia.'' Khatatas paused for a moment. ''I also noticed a large holocron being present in the center of this courtyard, so I waited until these soldiers finished their patrol and went back into the gates of their base. I proceeded to inspect the holocron immediatelly after, and was approached by a human of sith blood, hardly force sensitive with his weapon drawn. He had this odd, tattoo. A serpentine creature in a circular shape, eating it's own tail. We fought, but it seems he was merely a distraction for the others to leave. He alongside various imperial crafts, without their imperial logo's fled the scene...''
The pureblooded man would lift both hands to run his temples accompanied by a long, drawn-out sigh.
''I inspected the holocron, which seemed to be a mere shelf, it was hollow, the true holocron was gone. I could've expected as much of course. After this I returned and now i'm here... explaining this to a recorder... I will proceed with my investigation, for now my training will resume.'' Seconds after the recorder stopped.
