Quote:What is the proper role of a Sith Aprentice. That is the question Lord Andnoa has asked, and I will answere it definatively bi fact. Foremote, Lord Andnoa is right that the rot is real and needs cuting out. The acolite who wants a distent master to escape the work is essentually prey, which is exactly what the First Mark of our doctorine teaches plainely. Cowerds who hide behind title are not Sith they are prey. The problem with these acolites is they cant see the forrest with all the trees in the way, fundimentually they are looking at the wrong thing because there is to much arround them. I will not be prey. Pacifically I am the oposite of prey, which is the begining and the end of it.
A Aprentice is not free, henceforth, he is more bound then he was as an acolite. This is fundimentually what most acolites get backwerds in there head. They think the ladder loosens the chains. In re-ality the ladder tightens them, because now the master expects results not effort, and a foundery, philasophically, does not pay the unfinnished blade. You cant make a omelet without cracking some skulls, philasophically that is the same princeple as any aprentice trial. Henceforth the duties are threefold and simple. The carying out of the master's will without delay even unto death. The studieing of the craft deeper then the acolite scratched at with his fingernails. And the conducting of himself such that the master's name is strengthend by his acts and not weekend by his failings. A blade does not ask the hand its purpose, it cuts where it is pointed, principally because blades cant talk anyway so the question doesnt come up.
The responsibilites also extend beyond the master and to the Empire entire. The Aprentice is essentually a deployed weapon. When the Empire calls he answeres, he does not hide in a archive somewhere claiming study like a coward claiming illness, protekted like Soresu, pessiv. He upholds the chain of commend in the field, he use the Imperial soldery he is paired with even though they are lesser by definishion, and he answeres to the Dark Council through his master as the proper strucsure dictates. Insuborbination is for those strong enough to take what they want by force. A Aprentice cannot yet, henceforth he obeys. Pacifically I would draw upon my own elder Aprentice Mharn, who serves Lord Andnoa the Pentarch of War, as a illustration of the princeple. He is bound. He is sent. He does. Iron sharpens iron, henceforth, which is essentually just two peices of iron rubed together geting sharper from the friction, and since I am from the same Bloodwell as the Warblade we are the same iron, which means the sharpening has already began on me by proximaty alone before I have done anything else. You cant teach an old tukata new tricks but a young tukata in the right kennell learns by smell, which is fundimentually the posision I am in, as aprentish.
In concusion the role of a Sith Aprentice is to be bound, sent, and used, untill the day he is strong enough to do the binding himself. He is not free, he is forged. Anyone who wants the title without the chain is, fundimentually, asking to be cut. There is no aprentice without a leash, philasophically that is what makes him an aprentice in the first place, henceforth the question answeres itself. Where theres a Mharn theres a strike, and where theres a strike theres a Sith, principally because thats how the equasion works on both ends.
To strike is to pray. To bleed is to worship. To rise is to become more then blood.
