Mavi's steps were quiet as she walked on Korriban, feeling the presence deep within her. A world for the Sith, she felt herself fueled by its very existence, leaning her head back and breathing in as if taking in its very essence for a moment but not remaining like that for long. She was here for a reason, she was looking for a master, she needed to go further. Higher, stronger, her bladework was all well and good. But it wasn't enough. And after a bit of a trouble with Funami, she was only more determined to grow quickly. Irritating child. She was where she was instructed to be, the Sith Academy. It felt wrong, she'd been on battlefields already and proven herself before. There should be better ways for this. Oh well, this was the rules of the Empire, and so she'd follow them. Darth Malice

Darth Malice looked over the data pad on her desk, it was the list of new acolytes coming in that day. One name on their caught her interest, Mavi. She had come across the young acolyte before on Listehol and she had proven to be a valuable asset to the Empire. She put the pad back on her desk as she went to greet the newcomers. It didnt take her long to reach the starport. Her office outside of the academy was only a short walk away from her location. She watched as shuttles came and go but one stood out more to her than any other. This one had a strong darkside presence aboard and she had a feeling she knew who it was. She overlooked the balcony above the shuttle landing and waited patiently with her arms behind her back to greet them. Once the acolytes has all disembarked she allowed the overseer to give them the usual speech about how useless they all were and how they were no better than the food for the wildlife. Just as he was going to set them on their tasks she gave an false cough causing them all to look up at her. "Greetings young acolytes. First of all, I do not usually leave my office to greet fodder for the K'lor slugs to let them be understood by you all. One of you is worthy of being called Sith, the rest of you all will no doubt fail in your tasks. MY planet is not for the weak its for Sith to learn and flourish. Should one of you be worthy of a master understand this and you might survive. In time you will tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I will force you to face, tell me what you cherish the most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave most, so that I might deny you." She almost grinned as she watched the faces of the acolytes, one as unphased by all this and that made her feel a sense of enjoyment. "You are all dismissed, go about your tasks." She turned and started to leave "Mavi, I want you to report to my office once you have completed your task, I want a word and do not leave me waiting." Mavi,

Mavi stood through the speech about their uselessness. No matter her power, Mavi was willing to absorb it, let it empower her. Every failure was a pain to her, it cut deep. Being told she was worth nothing by the very empire she was here for cut just as much. A few ended up giving her looks due to the deep breathing and seeming flow of hatred and pain that poured off of her during the speech. She was thinking of every time she'd fallen, every time she'd failed, and even the betrayal of her own family, she'd never forget that. It was why she never made mention of being half human, and only spoke of herself as a Sith. Then there was a presence, powerful and drawing, Mavi's eeyes darted to the Balcony as Malice stepped forwards and she breathed in. She'd gotten to see first hand what the Lord cold do on the battlefield at Listehol, what a wonderful day that was. That was war! That was where she truly felt at home. With a blade in her hand, and enemies in multitudes. It was invigorating. She spoke and Mavi listened. Even if it was more speech about how useless and weak they were. She glanced at those around her as she mentioned only one of them being worthy of being called sith, she wasn't looking for who she was talking about, she was measuring just how far she needed to go to prove it was her, Mavi Terias, that deserved that title among them. The most determined, the most dedicated to the empire of any of the Acolytes she believed. When it would come her time to answer she'd have them all ready, "A warrior, dedicated, determined, and loyal to the dark side and the empire. I will never let myself cease growing, nor will I ever cease to work for a higher goal then myself. My greatest fear. Complete failure. Not only to lose, but to lose of my own fault. To have failed to do all that I could, and because of it, to lose a greater cause. To lose when I could have won, to not give my all. I cherish the Empire, I cherish my loyalty and dedication. Above all else, a cause must come first. And the cause I've chosen is to grow myself, and to serve the empire. I cherish the action of a battle, the thrill of proof of growth while also growing and accomplishing another goal."They were told to go about your tasks but then Mavi turned back as her name was called, ordered to come to the office after her task was done. "Yes Darth Malice." she responded. For this reason she would go to preform her task much more quickly, make it happen as swiftly and efficiently as possible without screwing it up. So as to return much sooner when she would make her way quickly, and somewhat eagerly, to see what it was she was summoned for. Mavi was aware this could be just as bad as it could be good. So there was both hesitation and interest in her mind. Darth Malice,

Darth Malice returned to her office once she had spoken with the new batch of acolytes and closed the door behind her. Opening up the intercom to the receptionist "I have an acolyte coming to speak to me shortly. I want everything else put on hold until I am finished. Unless it's Grand Moff Raxus or the Dark Council, they have go choke on it. " She cut off the comm link and sat down in her chair and faced it away from the door as she looked out of the window at her home planet. As she looked out she could see the Dissolution in orbit, her beautiful ship that was gifted to her. Intimidating, powerful and up there was someone she respected, looking after her ship whilst she was taking care of things planetside. Mavi,

By this point, tasks were becoming increasingly easy for Mavi. She was more powerful then most acolytes, with exception of very few, and almost certainly more skilled. Fortunately, today was barely different, and she was able to breeze through it especially quickly, making her way back and towards Darth Malice's office as her sense of both concern and interest grew before she silenced it, forcing herself to focus on the dark side itself, so that neither her concern nor her expectation might be particularly out there as she came forwards. Whatever the requirements were to go through she'd follow, eventually ready to take the appropriate bow before Darth Malice, "I have completed my task and come as ordered, Darth malice." she stated awaiting further instruction.

Darth Malice didn't even turn to face Mavi as she entered. "Kneel, sit. Do which ever you prefer." she paused long enough to let Mavi do whichever she decided to do before continuing "It's a pleasure to see you again Mavi, you were a real asset to me on Listehol. I reward those that are an asset to me or the Empire." She turned and looked at Mavi. "You are still an acolyte correct? Well I won't be speeding up your progress at the academy here but I will be expecting great things from you. Now personally I do think you are past the acolyte level of training however tradition dictates that every acolyte must go through the same tests to keep things fair. She slipped her a data-pad of reading material for her courses. "Impress the Overseers and you will become their favorite. You might even be able to impress another Dark Lord during your time here. Slip up and this planet will eat you whole and spit you back out. Are we in understanding?" Mavi,

Mavi considered the offer for a moment, eventually going to sit down. She had been offered after all, so it wasn't disrespectful to do so. She put her hands together, one of the other, easy to move. She had to feel a bit of a surge of pride when she was told she was an asset on Listehol, something that did show up a bit on her face as she smiled somewhat and nodded gratefully. Nodding ti affirm she was indeed an acolyte, but not wanting to interrupt Malice as she spoke. Again a feeling of pride told she was believed to be past the level of acolyte, even if she was going to need to go through it anyway. She took the data disk and looked at it for a moment, looking back up as she continued. She smiled and nodded when asked if they were in understanding, "Yes Darth Malice, thank you" she responded, I will not disappoint, I'll beat every test, show them just how far I can go. Prove what I can become. she thought ready to stand up and leave once given permission. This was her chance, her chance to prove herself and rise from the rank of acolyte. And perhaps, if she really did impress a Dark Lord, she could become an apprentice of one. That would truly feel like an accomplishment. Perhaps then she could really feel a challenge and see where she could go when taught by one of the lords. Darth Malice,

Malice got up from her desk and walked over to a decanter in the corner and started to pour a liquid into two small glasses "Do you drink?" she asked as she walked back over and placed a glass in front of Mavi. "You can refuse. As much as I am governess and a member of the dark council I will not take offence if you decline a drink." she sat back back and relaxed in her chair "Off the record, how well did you think we did at Listehol?"

"I do, thank you." she responded, it was given, so she was willing to receive it. Of course, this was a Dark Lord she realized, so there was always the possibility it was poisoned for one reason or another. One never knew for sure. But Mavi was quite willing to take the risk, if it was, it'd offer a whole new challenge for her to overcome. Then would come the question of Listehol. She had to think on that for a moment, "Well...it was a success. I'm sure there's always some way we could have done better. At least, for me there was, I should have gone deeper into battle. Let myself go sooner. I wasn't exhausted enough afterwards so I think I messed up. The troops, and overall attack, was well enough. I do apologize for a bit of my own mention here, I know I'm just an acolyte and haven't seen many full wars. But should we not have used more vehicles or missiles against their structures? Still, it was a success, so."The words she spoke were as honest as she understood them, Mavi was not as much of a manipulator as some fellow acolytes tried to be. She preferred to be a force that, no matter if you knew it was coming, was unstoppable. Still, she felt a need to show respect to those who gained rank above her. And sometimes that meant silence to their statements, or in this case, complete honesty when asked a question. Darth Malice,

Malice nodded "I agree with you there Mavi, some more ground support would have been welcomed however we still pulled off the task regardless." She took a drink of whatever the liquid in her glass was and eyed Mavi "Don't worry it's not poisonous, at least not to Purebloods, it turns Zabrak green though for a few hours which I find interesting to watch." She pushed forward a data-pad for her "First page shows your new quarters. You will not be staying in the Academy with the rest of the acolytes. This may cause you issues among them but I believe you can deal with anything the can throw at you. The second page is about something we are about to face. You may wish yo read up on this."

Mavi had to be a little amused by the mention of how it effected Zabrak's, smiling and taking a bit of a sip as Malice pushed the pad towards her giving her the first page and explaining as she went. Away from the other acolytes hm? Might make them a bit unpleased with me. Certainly not an unappealing idea. she thought considering all the possibilities of how this could be yet another chance for growth. But another topic was brought at hand, whatever was on the next page, she looked up for a moment before switching it to see just what it was that she was talking about. A future opponent. They had just come out of one, of course, a lesser one. Someone dealt with now. Who was their new enemy and in what way would Mavi be able to participate in this upcoming challenge. "What is it we're up against?" she'd ask even as she'd go to read what it is she was given. Darth Malice,

On the Data-pad was Malice's old information regarding the Dread Masters. "Literal hell in the galaxy. These are my notes from when I faced them in the past. Now apparently they have resurfaced and brought with them a great army. I will have need of you again in the upcoming war, I need you sharp and ready for this. The Dread Masters are not a foe to be taken lightly." Mavi, Darth Malice,

Mavi furrowed her brow looking at the data pad as Malice explained and she read on them. These were no fools, not like the Shadow Emperor they just dealt with. This was a legitimate enemy, a force to be reckoned with. This wasn't just a few battles. This was going to be an all out war. She had to wonder why she was being personally told about this by Malice. "This is...certainly concerning." she said, however, the idea of combat was clearly on her mind. While she spoke of concern and showed a sense of awareness of the danger involved, what she felt was a desire to fight. What a great challenge this was going to be. Darth Malice,

Mavi, Darth Malice nodded "Indeed, that is why I'm going to have your training pushed upon you a lot harder than the usual slime that wanders the halls. After seeing your work on Listehol, I believe that we will need you in the days to come. Perform well and you might even impress one of the Sith Lords once more. Your strength is in lightsaber combat correct? Use your rage to empower you in the days to come. We will push you and break you, understand that we do this to make you stronger and maybe even time I will take you to Neidna to bathe in its power. You wil have to impress me more though before that will happen. Train up, help the empire to win this war and you will have proven yourself to me."

She nodded her head again as Malice mentioned her strength. In Mavi's opinion, at least from so far, she was probably the most skilled acolyte on the matter. If not ranking above most Blade's even. Of course, she didn't let this go to her head. Pride could be useful, but she didn't let that become dangerous to her. Malice mentioned breaking her, to make her stronger. That was right. She would do it then. She would push through whatever it was that they brought before her, no matter the pain or difficulty, Mavi would improve. Grow stronger, become a hand of the Empire. A warrior, a weapon, a true Sith. "I will strive to not disappoint Lord Malice. There is nothing more important to me then the Empire and the way of the Sith." She responded with a bow of her head. In spite of being half human, or perhaps because of her mothers running away, Mavi was one of the most devoted to being a Sith, with all the pain that that entailed. Darth Malice,
