Between the Light and Dark Side

As much as he would get a kick out of ripping memories from Kale's head and watching his (and possibly Trever's) reaction, Revan doesn't want to upset Tobias any more than he has since they went to war.

Revan walks through the portal behind him, looking almost comforted by the thick, hip-deep fog, and the flash of lightning and crash of thunder overhead.

"Home away from home," he murmurs, smiling.

From:

Tobias follows the pair, peering at the spot they popped out at and judging how far they have to go. "I swore I'd never come back here..."

Even though that fog curls around him, like family welcoming him home.

From:

Trever gives Tobias an apologetic glance, apparently genuinely sorry about having to bring him here. He shivers in the fog, pulling his jacket closed.

Licking his lips he looks at the unfamiliar... but sort of familiar territory. After all he did have access to Kale's memories who had Revan and Tobias'.

"It's different than he remembers," he comments quietly.

From:

Tobias shakes the fog off a couple times before deciding it's useless to try to get rid of it.

"He probably remembers it from before the war. Before the Mass Shadow Generator shattered it." Us he amends in his head. The Wound he left in the Force echoes with the destruction of the planet and the sound and feeling courses through him and makes him feel perversely at home here.

From:

"When I first found it it was simply a dead planet. Now it is broken in pieces and storm rages overhead continually. Now the Malachor V screams."

Revan seems to know extremely well where to head. "Watch where you step, the surface is full of cracks," he warns as he starts walking.

From:

"Fun," Trever says, following Revan, shaking his head now and then as if trying to block something out. He walks slightly hunched over, hands stuck deep in his pockets. Without being able to sense Kale he feels extremely off-balance and the dark side around here isn't helping one damn bit.

From:

"I knew I should have destroyed this place when I had the chance..." he shakes his head as he follows. He looks to Trever, wholly sympathetic. He knows the planet isn't somewhere any Force-user would willingly go. "You didn't have to come."

From:

And that statement earns Tobias a look as if he suddenly suggested that they go frolic with the storm beasts. "Of course I did. It's Kale," he says, as if it explains everything.

From:

"You sound like a Mandalorian about to go after a lost shipmate, Trever."

Something growls from the shadows off to the right and a pair of yellow-green eyes can be seen; Revan says something in the hissing, breathy language of the Sith and the creature backs off.

From:

Tilting his head a little, Trever tries to get a good look at the yellow-green eyed creature, mouthing the Sith words to himself. Once they pass the creature a good ways, he says. "I have to go after him, it would be... unnatural... if I didn't."

From:

One can probably get the impression of needle-like teeth, and a tall, reptilian body. Tobias wasn't aware that Revan could actually talk to the things. "I know. I also know how this place can effect people. That's why I offered. It's... not natural here."

From:

"Just be happy this is not Korriban. The spirits there would be more than happy to give up attacking each other in order to attack us." They're coming on a small section of tunnels that cut through the wall of the box canyon they're in.

From:

Trever is still giving Tobias a look like he suggested that he cut off his own
head. See this is why he didn't go to Tobias. Revan doesn't seem to be doing any of this.

"It's Kale," he mutters again.

From:

Revan isn't doing any of this because he can't really muster any concern for the twins.

"He knows." He turns and walks backwards for a bit so he can fix Tobias with a bright (almost Carcer-esque) smile. "He just forgot what being someone's vod means."

From:

It might be a bit...stronger between the two of the Delver twins than normal brothers. But, yes.

"How far?"

From:

They come out the end of the tunnel just as Revan turns around, activating both his lightsabers and stabbing out on both sides of himself.

A pair of those reptilian things - their corpses, anyway - drop, and he gives his 'sabers a little twirl before deactivating them. "A few more minutes. We will go through another gate and be at the entrance of the Trayus Academy."

From:

Trever pulls up short at the two dead reptilian things. "And that's where Kale'll be?"

From:

"There's no where else to go on this graveyard," Tobias replies, eyeing the creatures. "Storm beasts. I'm surprised that more of them haven't attacked us."

From:

"They might be imbued with the Dark Side, Tobias, but they are still stupid animals."

Addressing Trever, he adds, "The Trayus Academy was always home to me, during the war. My safe haven. I only ventured out when I was particularly angry, and never beyond where we entered those tunnels."

From:

"But there are other places here? He's not completely you... he might have gone somewhere else." Trever's anxious. Can you tell?

From:

"I searched this planet for months before the end of the Mandalorian Wars, and the only structure I found was the academy. It is deserted, at any rate."

From:

"And honestly, with the Sith gone, it's the safest place to go; the storm beasts won't go near it."
He's half-tempted to say that Trever doesn't have to go in, but he figures he's annoyed him enough today.

From:

Yeah. If Tobias keeps on insisting that Trever doesn't have to come, he might find himself limping with the other leg too.

"All right. Good."

From:

"Burning storm-light," Revan says. "We ought keep moving, before more of the beasts show up to get food." The planet obliges with an ominous crack of thunder. Oh, the cliche, it burns.

Revan sets back off at an easy pace. 'Easy' being clipped and surprisingly speedy.
