Between the Light and Dark Side

"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.

From:

Tobias would object to the extra limping!

As it is, he pauses long enough to jam the needle of a syringe full of painkillers into his leg so he can keep up with Revan. "So help me, Revan, if he's at the heart of the academy-!" he starts as he half-jogs, half-hops after the ex-Sith.

From:

Trever finds himself in the middle of the two Jedi type people. He doesn't want to leave Tobias behind... but he doesn't want to lose Revan either. He moves at a half jog/half skip.

From:

"Do not be stupid, Donn, I almost never ventured there. I never liked prophecy and you know it."

It doesn't take long before they come upon a huge, metal gate in the crevice. On the other side is a large clearing and the entrance to the academy (http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/8/81/Trayusacademy.jpg). "Welcome to the true Malachor V, Trever."

From:

Once they get through, the gate will likely shut behind them.

"So good to be home again," Tobias mutters sarcastically. He's not so upset that he had to come here again, he's more upset that it does feel like home to him.

From:

Oh, that's not creepy at all. Trever is looking around with large wide eyes, and twitching a little. But he straightens his jacket and keeps walking.

From:

And into the building with them! Revan's got a half-smile on his face when he sees the familiar dark grey stone, with dim red lights set into the floor. He missed this place...
