Fien'Dur

Fien awaited on his home planet of Iridonia for his duel with Thrax. The peacefulness of the wind breezy planet was invigorating to Fien as he was meditating upon the force. As he waited, his mind was wandering upon the past, thinking of how tasteful his vengeance would be. Fien realized that wandering minds are a weakness and focused on techniques and his battle strategy.

Fien stood at the arrival of his cousin as he approached. "Glad you could make it". Fien withdrew his single hilted lightsaber and ignited the awe inspiring gold blade and stood in a defensive position waiting for his opponent to withdraw his blades.

Darth Thrax

The air on Iridonia was crisp, as it almost always was, with a slight breeze. The Sith Gatesmaster occasionally stopped on Iridonia to visit his old home, which was still untouched, and meditate. Thrax held his lighsaber loose in his hand and pulled his hood back, showing his horns. This wasn't meant as a sign of aggression, as it normally would have, but more of his eagerness to fight. Thrax tossed his hilt into the air and used the Force to suspend it in the air. He brought his hand higher, palm up, and the hilt began to spin slowly. "Tell me, why have you requested a duel with me?" He began to step closer to Fien as he spoke and stopped right as he stopped speaking.

Fien removed the hood from his head as Thrax had done and looked up to meet his eyes. "I just wanted a friendly duel with old family", Fien said as he grinned."Shall we begin cousin?" Fien raised his already ignited blade to start their battle.

Darth Thrax

Thrax nodded, but his face showed no sign of emotion. As he ignited his blade, leaves rustled across the forest floor, almost as if they were running away from the two Sith. Thrax gripped the silver hilt of his blade tightly with both hands and lunged at Fien. Thrax brought his saber up in an upward motion at Fien's right shoulder, but his attack was easily blocked. As he brought his blade back down in defense, he let go of his saber with his left hand and used the Force to slam a tree down behind Fien.

Fien jumped and back flipped on top of the fallen tree. He cut the tree into pieces as he walked backwards. He lunged slices of the fallen tree at Thrax but only to be shoved aside. Fien charged at Thrax with his lightsaber up and ready. They were both sending and blocking attacks rapidly having a full fledged brawl. There seemed to be no end between the attacks. Until Fien jumped backwards and sent a force wave knocking Thrax down into a large puddle.

Darth Thrax

Darth Thrax rose to his feet, his tattered robe dripping with muddy water. He noticed a small lake in his corner of his eye and his lip twitched. He bared his teeth and charged forward at his cousin, lightsabers still deactivated. When he was just a few meters away, he ripped another tree from it's trunk and threw it at Fien. Fien sensed the tree coming at him and immediately jumped out of the way. Thrax knew that he would do this and seemed to fly at him while in midair, grabbing his throat as they flew into the lake. The zabrak warriors still struggled for control, almost as if they were unaware that they were underwater.

Fien'Dur

Fien was blinded from the muddy lake water and couldn't see a thing. He took a moment to gather force energy and seperated the mud from the water and set it on the lake floor. Fien reached for his belt and equipped his A99 Aquata Breather.

The water was perfectly clear now and he could see exotic amphibious creatures swimming around, and the vegetation at the bottom of the lake now covered with mud. It's amazing what the force can do, isn't it?

Fien knew that Thrax could be anywhere in the lake, and could easily catch him off guard. Fien used force stealth to avoid being sensed and started to swim around the lake looking for his cousin.

Darth Thrax

Thrax had swam through these lakes many times and he knew every nook and cranny that occupied it. He equipped his rebreather and then swam inside the lakes smallest and darkest cave. He had seen the mud drop to the bottom of the lake and knew that Fien was responsible. Darth Thrax got into a good position to lunge if Fien swam past the cave and he played the waiting game. Small bubbles began to rise to the top from the creatures on the lake floor and the occasional amphibian swam past him, but moments later he noticed a faint dark figure swimming in the distance. Thrax could see the figure getting larger and knew that it was his cousin heading towards him.

Thrax backed up a little bit more in the cave then opened up his hands, waiting for the right moment. As soon as Fien was just meters away, Thrax balled his hands into fists and the mud immediately clouded the lake again, blinding Fien. Thats when Darth Thrax lunged forward and hit Fien in the gut with his shoulder.

Mud clouded the waters once more and Thrax hit Fien in the gut causing him to cough and his aquata breather fell out of his mouth. Fien reached for the re breather but it was too muddy now to see anything.

Fien rushed to the surface in hopes of ending this underwater battle. Thrax had grabbed Fien's leg as he tried to swim upwards for air and pulled him back down. Fien was starting to get short of air and needed to hurry. Then Thrax kicked Fien in his face causing him to twirl sideways and loose even more precious oxygen.

Fien was starting to get angry and frustrated, he turned and seen Thrax coming towards him again. Fien thought quick and wanted to get back at Thrax for making him short of air, fien raised his hand and started to force choke the incoming zabrak.

Darth Thrax

Darth Thrax could feel Fien's grip tightening around his neck and used the Force to pull him towards him. Thrax remained expressionless even in the life threatening situation that was in and kept pulling Fien over to him. As soon as he was within reach, Fien stopped choking his cousin and began to swim to the top. Thrax let Fien get to the surface and watched as he swam to the shore of the lake.

He sent the mud back to the bottom and looked around him. He noticed the glare of Fien's rebreather on the ground and pulled it up to him, putting it in his inside robe pocket. He looked back to the surface and began his ascent. When he reached the surface, he took out his rebreather and swam hastily to the shoreline, igniting his emerald saber when he stood on land again.

Fien reached the shore and caught his breath. Out of the corner of his eye he seen Thrax pull up out of water and ignite his blade. Fien withdrew his black and silver hilted lightsaber and ignited the brilliant golden blade."That was a close one, i just hope we don't decide to do that again anytime soon". Fien ran towards Thrax and jumped over his head, and made a slash at Thrax, but it was barely blocked. Fien sent a barrage of attacks at Thrax trying to finish the battle as fast as he could.

Darth Thrax

Thrax parried the onslaught of attacks that Fien sent at him, but he was weakening each slash. The Gatesmaster then flipped backwards and landed easily on one knee, while deactivating his blade. He looked at the young apprentice and slowly rose to his feet. "Hmm. Your skill with the blade isn't amazing, but it is admirable. Perhaps you will join the Army someday and fight along side me." Thrax began to pace the wet lakeshore and could feel the temperature dropping lower. The branches on the nearby trees started to sway in the wind as it began to pick up and Thrax looked at the turquiose sky. Iridonia hasn't changed much after my parent's death. I can still feel their presence here... Thrax told Fien through the Force. He lowered his gaze back to meet his cousin's eyes and began to walk to the location that they were at at the start of their duel.

"Maybe.......one day". Fien and Thrax stood at the spot of the beginning of their duel and stood looking into each others eyes. Thraxs' eyes were orange just like a setting sun off in the distance, and they were difficult to look at, as if being.......looked through. "Thanks for coming here and battling me, i learned more than i thought i would, maybe in the future when i improve, we can do this again".

Fien turned and started walking towards his ship to leave his home planet once more.
