Durza

((I have arrived Master))

Lord Aequitas

((I'll do it. I won't RP is as, upon viewing his RPs he does not need his Trial to be conducted through RP.))

Durza, what do you believe is the most important piece of information that your Master taught, shared, or experienced with you? And, why was this so important? What effect does it have on your past, present or future experiences, if any.

Durza

It would have to be the "Trek to Wayland" thread. I learned much, and it inspired me to create my own rp.

Lord Aequitas

That's an RP. I want a specific piece of information.

Durza

Sorry I misunderstood, then it would be when he taught me how to use the gift of Prophecy. It is very important for me because I plan on joining the Church of the Dark Side. That is also why it will affect my future.

Lord Aequitas

And what is it about the Church of the Dark Side that is so attractive compared to the other more active and involved Orders?

Durza

I have looked through the Orders, and the Church of the Dark Side seems to match my personality better. It reflects what I am better. It contains things like Visions, alchemy, and all that goes with it.

Lord Aequitas

Any Sith can have a vision. Any Sith can dabble in alchemy. While the Church is the Order officiated with these duties, any Sith can practice them. And tell me exactly how the Church matches your personality.

Durza

I will tell you why I don't like the other Orders, and why I like this one.

The Inquisitorious: I do not believe I would enjoy doing this type of work, It was never what I have wanted to do.

The Military: I'm not a Military man. It is a brutes job, and I am no brute.

The Royal Guard: I do not feel like I could do this. It does not appeal to me in any way.

The Sith Mages: While I do enjoy dabbling in mystical things, I always was one for prophecy.

Why I choose The Church of the Dark Side: I have no reason, it just feels right

Lord Aequitas

What makes you say the Military is a brutes job? The Navy for example involves strict strategic missions and the Armed Forces as a whole demands it's members have a decent intellligence. Do brutes fulfill that requirement?

Durza

My definition of brutes does not mean unintelligent Lord Aequitas.

Lord Aequitas

Then what is your definition of brute?

Durza

Someone who, while intelligent at a fair level, is more of a physical fighter.

Lord Aequitas

I would hardly call someone who prefers physical fighting a brute. That is a very narrow and unlearned description. I suggest that you rethink and reclassify this definition.

What in your opinion is more valuable: fear, power, or strength.

Durza

I'm sorry Lord Aequitas. I think it would be Fear.

Lord Aequitas

Would you care to elaborate why?

Durza

Because, to srike a Person, or Group, with Fear, usually implies that you have Power, Strength, Intelligence and Witt (Although the last two aren't options), Or all of the above.

Lord Aequitas

Interesting explanation.

Also since I made you wait so long, I apologise.

I declare you knighted with the rank of Acolyte. My apologies for the wait.

Crozeus, you can do the honours.

High Prophet Crozeus

((Thank you.))

The High Prophet nodded his thanks to the former High Prophet. His lightsaber jumped into his palm with an audible slap, followed by the snap-hiss of the ruby-gold blade igniting.

"Kneel, my apprentice," Crozeus said. He held the blade out in front of him.

"What Darth title do you wish to take?"

The decision was an important one, as it would be the title that would be with the Sith for the rest of his life. It was a very difficult choice to make.

Durza

Durza knelt before his Master, feeling his powerful presence, and then warmth of the blade over him. He knew it would be a lasting name, and had meditated on it for hours.

Durza replied in reverence, "I know my name, as the Force has shown it clearly. Krael will be my name, Master Crozeus."

Durza was anxious to recieve his new title. He was always eager to get ahead. Always competetive.

High Prophet Crozeus

"I am your Master no more," Crozeus said softly. He touched Durza lightly on each shoulder with his blade - the lightsaber burned through fabric and seared Durza's skin but he did not cry out. The pain was what made the Sith.

"Rise, Darth Krael," Crozeus commanded, his last order to his apprentice.

Durza

Darth Krael stood face to face with his former Master, now an equal (or so he considered Crozeus), and simply walked toward the door. But, he stopped, turned his head, and said "Thank you. That will be the last time, so lavish in it while it lasts".

High Prophet Crozeus

Crozeus nodded.

"Be careful, Krael. If you spurn away offers of friendship and allegiance, you will end up dead. There is no limit to the numbers of Sith who have thought they didn't need us after their training, and all of them died... or came back hoping for a second chance.

I offer you this advice not as a Master to an Apprentice, but as a Sith to a Sith. For that is what we are now."

Durza

"Alliances do not require gratitude, unless that is part of the deception" Durza replied. "But I will accept your offer, if that is what it is" He said, and immediately left for his quarters.

He was tired, and longed for sleep. Although he could not see Crozeus' face, he had felt his emotion, when saying what he did. It was barely considerable, but there. "A bond perhaps?" He thought to himself. He had heard of such things before, but it was a rare sight.
