Sepulchure

High Inquisitor Gra'tua · Sepulchure

The young Inquisitor stood at the gates of the magnificent sith temple. The Anphibious creature was waiting for someone, his new apprentice that was just assigned to undergo an apprenticeship.

Gra'tua stood in his black robes, the hood over his head-tails, the shadow from the lip of the hood covering the remainder of his face. His arms were crossed, his hands in the opposite sleaves, as the bottom of his robes stirred in the slight breeze.

He faced the temple with a half smile on his unseen face, he had high hopes for an apprentice that was the same race, he would be able to speak with him in their native language or through the telepathy that their species possessed, but for now he would wait and see what his apprentice had to offer.

Darth Caligulae

As Sepulchure aproached the gates of the Sith Temple, he stopped to take a look at the Temple's magesty. He remained motionless for a few seconds then continued on his way to the gates, where his master awaited him.

"I am here, master." He said as he bowed

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua watched as his apprentice approached the temple. The apprentice was gracefull in his action as executed them perfectly, as if he was trained from birth to be brought into the Empire.

The Inquisitor moved around the bowing Nautolan gracefully, looking him up and down. The apprentice was a very good specimen to have as an apprentice, he could eventually surpass Gra'tua if the young Inquisitor would stop his training aswell.

Gra'tua eventually stood infront of Sepulchure once more and motioned for him to rise."Good evening, your training begins now." He said emotionless, under the shadow of the hood."Please tell me what kind of lightsaber you use and how many." He asked politely yet commandingly as he looked upon the Nautolan.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure stood, looking at his master.

"I use two electrum lightsabers, one gold and one red coloured" He answered

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

After his apprentice had spoken, the young Inquisitor removed his hood, finally allowing his appearence to be seen. his head-tails dangled over his shoulders, near his collar bone."Good, now which are you more efficent with, diplomacy or aggression." He asked as he turned his head-tails fell behind his shoulders. He started to walk twords the temple and entered the temple gates."Hand me your sabers." He said as he held left hand out to the side of him, waiting for his apprentice to catch up to him.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure caught up with his master and walked beside him.

"I am more efficient with agression" He said as he handed his sabers to his master

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

[[Sepulchure, could you try and add a little detail to your posts, it will help later when you start being more active in other roleplays.]]

Gra'tua took the sabers from his apprentice a looked at them carefully."Did you happen to make these yourself?" He asked as he placed them into a pocket located just inside his robes."We will have use for these later." He said calmly as they approached the giant double doors of the temple. As they entered the temple they could hear the busy chatter and movent of the temples occupants.

They walked steadily through the temple, making their way to the dojo, where a small sparring session would take place. It would be to find out what his apprentice needed to work on.

Darth Caligulae

[[Ok, I'll try]]

As they made their way to the dojo Sepulchure answered his master's question.

"I found the gold coloured one on the corpse of a Jedi I killed during my Bounty Hunter days. Then i made the other using the one i found as a model." He explained.

As they entered the temple, Sepulchure was amazed at how big the hallways were, but didn't let that distract him for long, as he was getting focused for the spar ahead of him.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua took the sabers from his robes and handed them back to Sepulchure."You will discard them both at the end of this session, then you will go to the shop just outside of the temple grounds and buy the necessary items to build your own lightsabers." He said as they entered the dojo smoothly."This is all the credits you will need." Grat'tua handed to him a card that contained two thousand galactic credits.

As he did he motioned for Sepulchure to hault where he was and get ready. The young Inquisitor continued to the other side of the room, the younglings parting as he did. He then turned to face his apprentice and removed his sabers from his belt."We will first focus on a lightsaber duel, remember this is practice so turn your saber down to stun." He said calmly as he did so with a flick of a switch.

Gra'tua then waited for his apprentice to get ready and prepared for his first sparring match within the temple."This session is to find out what I must teach you." He said with a blank face as he blinked a couple times, wetting his eyes as he ignited his sabers with a cracking howl as the sabers extended.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure stopped where he was. He caught the card with the credits and put it in his pocket. He set his lightsabers to stun, ignited them and got ready to face his master.

"I am ready master" He said as he took a few steps twoards the center of the room, never getting his eyes off of his master.

He placed himself in a sideways position with his hands one above the other, and his sabers held horizontally.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua charged his apprentice, spinning his sabers in a diagnal direction. They were parried easily as he jumped back and sent a force push in the direction or his apprentice, is wasnt that strong but he wanted to see how he would react to the combination.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure tried to counter the force push with one of his own, but it still forced him to walk a few steps back. He ran at his master, then jumped and brought both his sabers down on him.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua right saber shot up and blocked the two sabers."You must learn to controll your anger. Turn your anger hatred and strike me down." He said as he force his apprentice back and shot twords him, striking repeaditly from all direction.

His apprentice blocked most of them with ease and doged a couple, but the onslaught intensified as Gra'tua focused his anger into his srikes.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure flipped over his master and as he landed made a quick swipe at the legs which was easily blocked, and then unleashed a flurry of strikes, each coming from a different direction.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua blocked the strikes as he moved forward, pushing Sepulchure back."You must hate to win, hate me and strike me down." He shouted as he jumped back and shocked Sepulchure with a slightly powerful force lightning."Become angry, channel it into hate and strike me down." He taunted as he moved foward as he shocked his apprentice, the clothing started to singe as he intensified the bolts.

Darth Caligulae

As he was shocked by his master's lightning, Sepulchure started to get angry. He channeled his anger into hate and felt it making him stronger.
He unleashed a force push, using his hate to make it stronger, making his master interrupt the lightning. He got up and charged at his master, unleashing a flurry of strikes stronger and faster than those before and coming from every direction.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua smiled as his apprentice broke his lightning and started his flurry."Good, very good." He said as he blocked the strikes quickly, a few hitting his sides as he stopped the rage."That is enough for today, you have done well." He said calmly as his side had a small spasm. He turned his sabers off and used the force to grab and turn his apprentices off."Now go and build your own sabers, they will reflect upon you." He said as he left the dojo calmly."We will start again tomarrow." He said as he headed down the hall raising the hood over his head.

[I have to go for a while i should be back later.]

Darth Caligulae

[Ok, i might have to go soon too]

Sepulchure exited the room and went to the shop outside the temple grounds. He purchased all the necessary items to build his new lightsabers. He got back to the temple and started working on his sabers.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua sat in his chambers meditating, waiting for his apprentice to finish his work on the assigned sabers. He thought about many things and channeled through most, but one thing always was in his thoughts. His home and his people.

Darth Caligulae

As he finished work on his new lightsabers, he got up and started walking to his masters chambers.

"Master, i have completed my lightsabers." He said once he got there

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua rose from his meditation, looking his apprentice in the eyes."Good, tell me what you have constructed." He said expesionlessly as he started to the door of the room."You may tell me on our way." He said not giving him the area of where the would be headed.

He would take his apprentice outside the temple, to the grasslands where they would be undisturbed in Sepulchure's training.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure walked alongside his master.

"I have constructed two lightsabers that connect by one of the ends to form a double-bladed lightsaber. One of them Emerald green and the other is Silver coloured. The hilts of both are made of cortosis, so they cannot be destroyed by another lightsaber. I have also optimised them to work underwater." He said

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua continued to walk as his apprentice told him about the sabers."Very good." He said calmly, his nautolan accent showing through."Now we must focus on what drives your hatred, so that you may capture it and focus it into your strength." He said as they exited the temple through the large double doors."Tell me what drives your hatred." He said as they approached the gates of the temple. Gra'tua gave his apprentice time to think over the what he had been told.

[Darth Prognie, I hope that you are not angry at me for borrowing this part of your apprentices training.]

Darth Caligulae

"The thing i hate the most is the weak." Sepulchure said as he walked alongside his master. "I think the weak should be exterminated, so only the strongest remain."

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua walked with his apprentice along the streets of the nearby town listening to his apprentice speak about his hatred."Good, why just hate the weak? Why not what makes them weak?" He asked patiently hoping his apprentice would have a good answer for it."If you just hate the weak then your are selecting something that can be slaughtered, but if you choose to hate the weak because if the ideals that make them that way, then you will have a hatred that will last forever, and forever it will power you." He said calmly, trying to get his apprentice to understand."You must not hate something that can be destroyed, because once it is destroyed you would have no hatred, no anger to guide you down the path of the darkside." He spoke in a voice that was calming and interesting at the same time, it made the others he passed want to listen in as they heard it."Do you understand?" He ask patiently awaiting his apprentice's answer, before they would move on to the grasslands.

Darth Caligulae

"Yes master, I understand" Sepulchure said as they left the temple grounds into the grasslands

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

"That is good" He said as they walked down a small path that led from the small village to the grass lands."Now which order do you wish to join once you complete your apprenticeship?" He asked as they walked smoothly down the small dirth path.

[Sepulchure, remember please try and use some detail, thanks.]

Darth Caligulae

"Once i complete my apprenticeship i would like to join the inquisitors or the alchemists, master" Sepulchure said "The Inquisitors, because i like what they do. The alchemists, because i always liked doing experiments and such. "He said as they continued to walk down a small path to the grasslands

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua was pleased with his decisions."Good, now who will become your dark patron?" He asked confident in his apprentices capabilities of finding the answers within himself."Once we reach the grass lands with will work on training your force capabilities." He spoke in their native language so he wouldnt catch the attention of any bystanders.

Darth Caligulae

"My dark patron will be Darth Sion" Sepulchure answered in their native language. "Are we almost there master?" He asked, feeling a bit tired from all that walking.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

"Yes we are." He said taking the left road at the fork."Why did you pick that patron for yours?" He asked calmly as they approached the gates that would let them enter the grasslands.

Darth Caligulae

"I picked Darth Sion because he was one of the greatest Sith of his time. When he was struck down he could always rise again, feeding on his pain and hatred. He was also very good with the lightsaber. He, along with with Darth Nihilus, was responsible for the deaths of countless Jedi." Sepulchure said as they reached the gates that would allow them to enter the grasslands

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

The answer was adequte enough for Gra'tua."So you chose him because of his power?" He asked as he opened the gates, allowing the two to walk through. He then proceeded to a small flat land area where he took a seat and crossed his legs, waiting for Sepulchure to do the same."Remember not all Sith are great for their power, they are also great for what the accomplished with their time." He stated trying to explain that picking a patron for his power is not always the wisest choice."But, It is what you admire most so the choice is good." He said as he watched his apprentice take a seat infront of him."Now tell me, is there any force abilities you might want to train here or would you like to refine your skills with a saber?" He asked, patiently awating his answer.

[[Sorry I havent posted lately, I've been swamped with chores and what not.]]

Darth Caligulae

[[Ok no problem]]

"I would like to train Force Lightning, Force Choke and Force Drain. And i would also like to practice my lightsaber skills a bit too." Sepulchure answered, taking the time they were seated to rest from all the walking to get there

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded in approval as he closed his eyes for a moment."For now we meditate." He said as he sat their, mind empty allowing the force to flow freely through him.

Darth Caligulae

"Yes Master" Sepulchure said as he crossed his legs and started to meditate, feeling the force flow through him.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua opened his eyes and looked at Sepulchure."Now feel the force, feel the power and energy. Feel the knowlage that it holds. The force will teach you what you want to learn, just listen to it." He said in a low commanding voice."The force powers you want to better are located in the knowlage of the force, let it be your guide." He said standing up, circling Sepulchure as he meditated."Once you are ready we will begin." He said stopping infront of Sepulchure.

Darth Caligulae

"I am ready, master." Sepulchure said as he uncrossed his legs, stood up and looked at his master, ready to continue with his training.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded and ignited his saber, a cracking howl was sent through the air as it grew. He then removed his outer robe and stepped back, his head-tails now fully visible, swinging slightly as he stepped."Now, feel the power of the darkside flow through your body and unleash your lightning." As he spoke he held his blade vertical to the sky, ready to have the force drawn to it. He wanted to see how powerful his apprentice was in the ways of the force.

Darth Caligulae

"Yes, master."Sepulchure said as he closed his eyes, focused, feeling the dark side flow through him, and unleashed his lightning, which was rather strong for an apprentice.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded when he felt the lightning strike his saber, creating a small static sound as it pulsed through the blade."Good, but it could be better. Now stop, we'll move on to Force choke." He said calmly as he lowered his saber, attatching it to his belt and waiting for his apprentice to stop the lightning. As he waited he let the lightning strike him, the electricity flowing through his body. It was strong for an apprentice that was not well tuned in the force, but to the young Inquisitor it felt like a small zap from static. Gra'tua was using the force to suppress the lightning with in him."Remember, when you use the choke, focus your anger into your hands and choke me, do not hold back." He said calmly as he stopped his apprentices lightning.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure focused, feeling the force and everything arround him. He raised his arm and started force choking his master, lifting him a few inches from the ground

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua placed his hands on his throat as he was lifted. Soon after it had happened the young Inquisitor flung his right hand foward, throwing his apprentice into the field."You have grown much during this training, but you have one more thing to work on." He said walking over to his apprentice calmly. He stood over his apprentice gazing down at him, waiting for him to stand.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure stood up, a bit sore from the landing. He looked at his master.

"What is that, master?" Sepulchure asked

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded as he walked from his apprentice, his back now facing the young Nautolan."You must go and Duel one of your fellow Sith, preferably a Master or higher, Once you have completed that task you may come back to me and we will prepare for something else." He stood with his back still to the apprentice waiting for the young one to leave his presence for the Dojo.

Darth Caligulae

"It shall be done, master." Sepulchure said. as soon as he said this, he walked to the dojo, wondering who would show up to duel him.

((sorry i haven't been able to post lately i've been busy with other things))

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

[[Make a thread in the dojo requesting a duel with a master or higher.]]

Darth Caligulae

((I already have.))

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure walked back to his master, still sore from the duel.

"Master, i am back from the duel" he said

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua turned to his apprentice, he could tell he was still in physical pain from the duel."So Sepulchure, tell me. How did you fare against Master Marix?" He asked calmly as he looked his apprentice up and down, looking for the answers through his apprentices physical expressions.

Darth Caligulae

"Well, i think i didn't do very well...I was barely able to get on the offensive, because my strikes were all blocked or countered, and Master Marix had me on the defensive for almost the whole time" Sepulchure said as he sat down to rest a bit after the duel.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded, it seemed his Old Master had not lost his touch at all."That is expected from Master Marix, you have done well though. Now please tell me once more, which school and order do you wish to join." He said sternly as he watched the apprentice take a seat on the ground."Do not sit, it collapses the lungs, allowing less oxygen into your blood." He commanded still waiting for his answers.

Darth Caligulae

Sepulchure stood up again.
"I wish to join the school of hunger and the order of the inquisitors, master." He said

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded in rememberance."And you wish to become a Warrior, not an Acolyte correct? Or was it the other way around?" He said calmly as he started back twords the gates of the plains."Also would you please tell me what would you have to offer the Inquisitors? It is a very important order that is not to be taken lightly, I must be sure you can handle the responsibilities." He said calmly. Walking slower to allow his apprentice to catch up.

Darth Caligulae

"I wish to become a Warrior." Sepulchure said "As for the second question, I can offer them my stealth, my moderate knowledge of unarmed combat and assassination techniques, and basic knowledge of torture techniques." He said, catching up with his master, now walking alongside him.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua

Gra'tua nodded, walked twords the gate once more. He would be heading to the temple now."It is done, Your time with me as your master is complete, I shall put you up for knight hood as of now." He said making his way back to the temple.
