((It would be nice if I was asked first... but whatever, I accept.))

Jerina looked around at the ruins of the old Sith capital of Ziost. She wandered slowly, her head up, dressed in a simple tank top and shorts, her boots crunching in the snow. Her curved saber dangled freely from its clip, as she waited for the apprentice she was to duel.

Sadow

(((I'm sorry, Ultiria. I should have asked you, but I thought that Serratus already contacted you.)))

He approached the young Sith woman, named Jerina Ultiria, a Sith Acolyte but apperently a master with sabers.
Sadow was wearing simple black robes and he held the curved hilt of his saber in his right hand. With a hiss the saber ignited and a red glow lit up the air around the beam.
"What a wonderful Ziost morning, don't you think my lady?"
Sadow inhaled the cold air and warmed up it left his mouth again.
"I'm honoured to meet you for this training duel, Darth Ultiria."

Jerina nodded. "And I you, Sadow." She walked forward a few paces and turned around, the Force warming her blood. Her curved saber came to life and she saluted, before dropping into a fighting stance and waiting.

((Sorry Ultiria, I wasn't thinking. If no one else is offering, I'll GM but I don't want to be biased.))

((Go ahead. I'm sure you'll be fine. Though you know what my duels are like Wink

))

Jerina twirled her blade, it's unique design causing many different patterns in the air. Finally, when Sadow was close enough, she lunged, her blade pointing down.

The red blade of Sadow hissed through the air, trying to parry the blow of the blonde female. In a way the humanoid Gand didn't care if he lost. His senses all in tune with the Force, but this Sith woman intrigued him, distracted him. He remembered his master Serratus' teachings. As he focussed his thoughts on the duel, he incanted a litany to constrain his emotions. No wonder this was a master in dueling. Her movements with the lightsaber and her body were enchanting. "Your magic is very much like what our ancestors practised, Lady Ultiria. It is cruel." Sadow's eyes twinkled like the stars. Ziost had always been his home. He so much enjoyed this duel in the snow.

"I practise no magic, apprentice. Only the blade." Ultiria smiled as she pivoted around, lashing out at random only to draw her blade back. Sadow was kept on the defensive, keeping his blade close to parry her attacks - if only she made them. She was waiting to see if he made an attack on her.

Suddenly Sadow lashed his saber at her in a backspinning movement.

Ultiria let out a laugh as she dashed backwards, blocking the attack and instantly riposting with her own. When her enemy backed off as well she regarded him with a glint in her eye. "Was that a compliment?" She grinned, before letting loose a barrage of Force Lightning.

He stretched out his hand, diverted the Force lighting, lowered his guard and waited for her next attack.
"Yes it was a compliment, I'm just checking if you can be charmed..." Sadow stretched his fingers hurling a Force push at his temporary teacher.

Ultiria blocked it with her own, they were now pushing against one another, a battle of wills.

"Well I can be charmed, but so what?"

Sadow was having a hard time keeping concentrated on the duel, which was most important at this hour. Using the Force was a newly acquired skill and he still had so much to learn.
Focussing was hard. Especially with a beautiful Sith lady to duel.
But he enjoyed exploring Ultiria's mind. She had an attractive mind. "If you can be charmed, you can be distracted.."

Jerina knew Sadow was not focusing, and she decided to prove him wrong. Lunging with blinding speed she cut to his head, took the riposte, then compound feinted, scoring a hit on his arm. Just because she was feeling harsh she pivoted and cut his bottom.

With a smile she leaped back as Sadow registered that he was now in a fair amount of pain, and he looked at her. She simply smiled. "I think you are the distracted one."

Sadow smiled. "I merely implied that you can be distracted, not that you are distracted."
The humanoid Gand invited her to attack him again.

((I'm not saying you're crippled or anything... it just hurts a bit. Godmodding would be if I just said "She went up to Sadow and cut his head off.))

((I concur with Ultiria. Please continue the duel. And I don't know if Darth Ultiria was bothered by it, but I certainly was; referring to a superior by "my dear" in an RP situation is not acceptable behaviour for an apprentice.))

((Whether it was done between parentheses or not is irrelevant, you as an apprentice should only address a superior with such familiarity in the Sith Errata section of the forum.

What Ultiria did was not godmodding, in that she didn't drastically affect the position of your character or tip the scales in favour of her or a situation that would play in her favour.

Now please continue the duel.))

((Sorry, been really busy at school))

Ultiria smiled sweetly. "Anyone can be distracted."

She picked up a clump of plaster with the Force and threw it at him, and lunged with her saber angling up, towards his face.

Sadow only managed just barely to divert the peace of plaster using the Force and sweat appeared on his bold head. He did his best to defend himself against the vicious saber heading for his nose.
