Death Knight Soth
Oct 1st, 2002, 07:27:27 PM
As the Death Knight of the Black Rose sat quietly in his shadowed chamber deep in thought, he studied the cylindrical shaped weapon of honor before him with great intent. Within his pale hand was the ornately crafted single bladed saber of his lover; Tatiana had crafted the lethal weapon month's prior as one of her many lesson's along the tedious path of refinement as Soth's personal apprentice. The mistress of the Shrine had modified the elaborate weapon to her own specification's, it's specialized abilities worked in harmony with that of the invoked magical properties therein. Their secretive and deadly function's were hers alone to know... Every light saber was a personalized weapon unique unto it's owner, much like a fine fitting glove to the hand...
Over the long month's, Soth, with meticulous care trained the once jedi knight in the way's of the Dark-side of the force it's self, in the way's of the Sith. The Death Knight had also taught his beautiful apprentice how to hone each specialized technique granted to her, each potential spell at her level, injunction with that of her innate skill's as a Vampyre of the Damned!...
Soth's lover devoured her studies with a tenacity and dedicated devotion like no other student under the Dark Knight had ever witnessed before. Like a true seasoned warrior with an unbridled purpose and an insatiable hunger to match, Tatiana learned very quickly in each dark discipline. Even the mysterious arcane magic of the Sith was readily available to the mistress, what would have taken most understudies year's to master, Tatiana had learned in mere month's. Her indurated aptitude for learning far surpassed any apprentice Soth had ever encountered over his long year's a Sith Master...The Death Master was more then pleased with her rapid gain's as his number one pupil, she was simply a natural.
Tatiana's proficient abilities as an illusionist, coupled with that of Sith Magic that the Death Knight himself had painstakingly taught her over the long month's at the Shrine made her more then a versatile adversary that was not to be taken lightly.
As Tatiana's Master, Soth had also showed the young woman the importance of preparation and how to handle any situation that would arise, even the unpredictable moment's she would face alone, how to utilize her new found skill's with each confrontation regardless of it's enormity or how small it may have seemed. Soth with pride tutored his lover as well in the ancient ways of saber play as he was accustom too when he had served the jedi code so long ago. Tatiana learned the "Craft of Making" as all apprentice hopeful's would master in time. Each pupil as it was customary would construct their own personal light saber when a master deemed them ready, this task alone was a lesson within it's self...Mastering one was another thing all together...
As Soth made his way to the Blood Pit, he called out for Tatiana to join him there. Of all night's, this night held a special significance to the Death Knight of old. Soth would test his lover sorely in the way of all the disciplines she had acquired and mastered to this point...He expected nothing less from her, on the contrary, Soth expected more as he seen in her the woman warrior at his side. Seasoned to perfection, knowing the deepest of secret's that Soth had opened to her only. Like all of the Death Knight apprentices when it came their time to the "Right's of Passage," Soth would show Tatiana no favor, nor would he grant her any special treatment when it came to the ensuing test's that she was soon to undergo. If his lover fought less then he knew her capable of, he would destroy her on the spot regardless of their dark bond's as heated lover's...Nonetheless,...It was the way of the Sith!
"Come Tatiana Nuevole,...Prepare yourself for battle...Tonight will mark your passage as a true Lordess amongst your brethren...This night you will earn your badge of honor m'lady." The Death Knight's firm word's were carried to his lover's mind as he stood at the entrance of the Blood Pit. Soth mumbled a few word's of Sith Magic before she arrived...
"You would fair best to do the same my apprentice." Soth thought to himself, a wicked smile etched it's way across his handsome face as he walked slowly to the center of the blood stained arena.
Placing his elaborate helm on, Soth awaited Tatiana. In his left talon hand he held her finely crafted saber, in the other, his own...
