Collective Black: Fallen Shadow

It always seemed to Sieken that he would never make the life of a Dark Jedi, to selective, to picky, to icolated to there own preaching and above all they could not pick which side they were. But after all of this dreaming and falling from one place to the other, mind melding with that madman Vega Sieken seemed to have the same trusts as the Hand.

Sieken by now had traveled a fair distance from his landing spot, and of course one of the Dark Jedi knew he was coming, i was quite obivois that one of them set the 'Loverly' scenery for me. The landscape was hardly a picture perfect terrain, more like hell itself, but he guessed that was the way of evil, so why fight it?.

By now the gates he had heard so much about by Vega was clearly insight, no more than about 7 spans away, the castle looked like something out of a Vampire book, like evil literally rose from its foundations.....Sieken liked that idea.

'I seek Audience with the Dark Jedi....come if you will' He said with a broad smile as if he knew what was about to happen, whatever it was, he was ready.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: the gate swings open and Sorsha steps out of the shadows ::

"The Hand has sent me, Seiken Kasstra. What do you want?"

[Severen Morkonis]

'Well im not here for a picnic...' He said to her, knowing she could quite easrly kill him, but he had some guts to even be here, so why turn back now?. ' I wish to join of course Miss Kasajian why else would i be here?...'.

He stepped a few more paces towards the Sith Witch his red eyes centerd on hers, he had heard of the woman and her mind games and was quite frankly not going to give her the chance. He had enough of that crap from his master let alone another mind trick...he would rather walk away if they did not want his services.

'So...anything else you want to ask me?...' He sighed as if he was getting fed up..'I trust you knew i was coming...Vega told you correct?'

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"Many seek to pass these gates, either through deception or force. What do you offer the Hand that would make it stronger?"

[Severen Morkonis]

' The same i offerd the sith and more...' He looked around him with a sarcastic smile. 'I think my crodentials are sound enough...i need not tell...' He said through his teeth

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"Oh but of course, how silly of me. Do forgive me" :D

:: points to the open gate and bows ::

[Severen Morkonis]

Sieken raised his brow for a few moments, it was not expecting it to be quite so easy. ' Thats it?...no mind games, no taking control of my body, no questioning me endlessly?'...your just going to let me go on by? He said looking at her and then she pointed.

He nodded in thanks and made his way into the open gates with a sarcastic smirk making sure he watched her as he passed her....he hated tricks.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: Sorsha laughs as Sieken steps through the gate, triggering the magick ward she had placed upon in. Only members of the Hand could pass. A green witchfire surrounds him, not burning his flesh, but his spirit ::

"Imbecile!!! :lol :lol :lol Did you think it would be so easy???"

[Severen Morkonis]

Sieken quickly fell to his knees with a burning pain all over his body, he heaved bit nothing came from his stomach, he shook violently in incredible pain 'ohhhhh uuhhhhhh ahhhhh!' Said yelled bending over on the floor cradling his belly. 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME !' He cried nearly passing out from the tntencity of that pain.

Suddenly Sieken found some sort of space with the pain as if the anger had ripped through the feeling of burning almost a feeling of acceptance. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth hard he began to stagger to a standing position, his eyes looking at Sorsha as if he was some kind of phycotic murderer, which in title he was most certainly was. By now Sorsha could see his teeth clenched and angry, his eyes red and demonic, he let the pain flow through him feeding his adrenalin so much so he could fight and fight and fight until he or she was dead, but he did not attack her as he respected her and the Black Hand.

He stood hunched over feeding the pain with the adrenalin and visa verse, his body still clenched and tight as if he was bracing himself for something to happen staring at Sorsha with controlled anger.

'Take this of off me!' He said forcing the words from his thoat.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: watches as the fire burning Sieken's spirit glows brighter ::

"Why? Does it hurt?"

[Severen Morkonis]

'At first......yes....now...its just annoying me' He forced out with a smile.

He clentched tighter forcing himself to feed of off the pain and the having to control it, it hurt of course but Sieken slowly was clearing the pain and controling it so much so that an evil chuckle escaped his lips before he concentrated on the pain once more.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: The witchfire burns hotter from Sieken's resistance, far beyond his ability to control it. His surroundings start to shift, and Sorsha appears to grow distant. He starts to see spectral faces as a choir of agony fills his ears. The moans and cries of suffering spirits, and now his voice mingles among them ::

[Severen Morkonis]

Falling to his knees again Siekens begins to feel very drowsy, dark specks dar to fill his eyes as he could feel himself about to lose consciousness and faint...again he tried to resist only this time it got hotter every time. The moans and groans could be ignored, but the pain was getting even more intense...he had no were else to go but to stay there and try to ignore it all...hotter and hotter it got...his loss of speech now to the pain only made him more determined to rid of this horrible pain

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: Clouds billow across a blood red sky as the gate and the castle beyond it stretch away from Seiken into the distance. It seemed very far away now, and the ground beneath him felt clammy. Fleshly. Tormented faces stare up at him with pale eyes, raising their voices up to him in a shrill cacophany of sobbing and wailing. They stretched as far and wide in every direction he can see ::

[Severen Morkonis]

Sieken had no time to think, the pain was threatning to overcome his whole soul and body. Yet apart of him told him tolet it be, to let the shadow and burning comsumehis essance. Infact there was noway of escaping this, there was nowayto rid of this pain, perhaps letting it eat him was the answer. Suddenly as if Siekens mind had shut down, the Dark Knight fell slightly limp and a puff of a sigh released fromhis mouth, he began to let the pain consumehis body....cringing as it got hotter.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: The faces in the ground howl in unison as Seiken's spirit rushes back into his body. The pain was gone, and he could now see Sorsha's boots as she stood in front of him. He was back on Vjun ::

"Welcome back. I was beginning to think you had joined the damned."

[Severen Morkonis]

Loked up to see Sorshas boots he then knew he had done the latter of the ideas he had and let it flow over him the releaf from the pain was a thing worth smiling about. He slowly stood up and watched Sorsha as he did, just incase she had a few more ticks up her mind twisting sleeve. 'Well thank you for that lovely experience...' He lied looking at her with a small smile.

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"You've seen a glimpse what lies beyond the veil, but you aren't ready to pass these gates."

[Severen Morkonis]

' Oh well...' He simply said as if he didn't care, he rised from his crouched position and brushed himself off with a quirky smile towards Sorsha 'Thats not the real reason i can see...but as you say...ive seen what lies behind the gates....'

he stood there for a moment or two to see if the pain had really gone away, and also to see if she had anymore of her tricks up her sleeve..it seemed she did not.

He smiled to her and turned around and started to walk away, only pausing a few steps later to turn his head slightly around to look sideways catching a little glance of her. ' We shall meet again miss Kasajian' He said turning and started his walk again.
