"I promise, you'll have plenty of time to get used to me" she said, staying close to him in case he faltered, and just to have his comforting presence nearby.

Halfway to the medbay, she saw a familiar apprentice heading their way, weapon drawn. "Is everything alright, Semmarv?" she asked, noting the young pilot's apparent worry. Possibly over me. I certainly can't have comforted many, aside from those who knew me, by appearing here all of a sudden, unannounced and unknown.

Aven, still a little nervous after the possession, reacted angrily to this apprentice racing towards them with weapon drawn. He lifted his hand, drawing the saber to him, then pulled Semmarv to the ground with the force. He stepped on the apprentice's chest with his large, clawed feet, dug his nails in angrily and said, "Nobody, I repeat nobody, attacks a master, especially not one like Havec. She's a hero, you know, and you should be thankful she's back."

((Undead, most of that post was god-moding))

As Raziel approached the Medical Bay he saw Semmarv a little way ahead, weapon drawn, heading towards Havec, Steelven and Aven. He ran upto them just in time to see Aven pull Semmarv to the ground.

"STOP!" Raziel shouted.

"Semmarv I have already told you. You leave Havec and Aven ALONE and Aven is right, you should be thankful you have her around, she's saved my life many a time" Raziel said sternly as he knelt down to the young pilot.

Raziel quickly flicked his wrist and Semmarvs lightsaber flew into his hand.

"If you'd kindly let Semmarv up Aven I'll talk to him" Raziel said.

"Everyone, SHUT UP!" snarled Steelven. "All these accusations are giving me a migrain."

"Stop the fighting, and stop the whining." Steelven's eyes got bright green. "We will all get a chance to discuss the issues at hand in the council room soon."

"Steelven does have a point" said Havec, standing quite calmly and watching the events unfold, not quite ready to interfere just yet. "We should all sit down and inform each other of what we know, I feel the greater picture at the moment is larger than what any of us understand."

She closed her eyes, peaceful as always, but with a quiet sort of aura about her, metaphorically and, of course, from the glowing blue light that still surrounded her. "Semmarv, as an apprentice you would not traditionally attend a Sith council meeting, but I do feel the students of our temple have a right to know what is about to occur, and you seem to be in an excellent position to act as their representative, if you would care to join us."

((Gryphlame is back...this is cool. And this time I actualy have internet at home and am not grounded and have time to use the internet))

Chaos entered the temple in a hurry. He had left after the other sith showed up, figuring that Steelven would not need him for a while. Taking the time to do a bit of his own research on the whole ordeal, but ending up just as clueless as when he started his search than when he ended it.

Instead he had discovered something else, and he needed to speak to Steelven as soon as possible.

Imedietly he sensed something had happened in his absence, the chaos in the air gave it away. "How long have I been gone?" he asked himself quietly.

(( I honestly don't see any god-moding. Could you tell me which part was? ))

Aven pushed up off Semmarv and walked away, sharp teeth grating against each other. "I know it's a useless excuse, but throughout that whole time I was being possessed by something. I was not responsible for my action. I can reassure you though, I am completely myself now."

((Pulling another player's character down without giving them a chance to react. In a lot of the RPs I've been in, that would probably be considered acceptable godmoding to keep the story progressing (Force expert tackling a surprised apprentice to the ground, hard for it to go any other way, and it's not like it's a major battle) but it is nice to make sure the other person's okay with it, and offer to change it if they'd like to add a different reaction.))

"And we must hope it remains that way" said Havec, vaguely comforting despite the ominous statement. "But, come, this is not the place."

The council chamber was near the center of the temple, well protected but also a fair walk from the outside. Havec began to lead the way, still recalling the temple schematics despite her long leave of absence, and confident that Steelven would not have changed about such an important room.

(( Okay, I understand ))

Aven nodded and called for a droid. It came to him, bringing his lightsaber. "You don't mind me holding on to this?" He said, more as a statement than a question.

Raziel stood and gave Semmarv his Lightsaber.

"Don't forget Semmarv, You are a representative for ALL of the students, so try to exert some control over yourself, instead of jumping to conclusions. Do you really think that Steelven would go with Havec and Aven if he felt threatened by them?" Raziel asked, more a statement than a question.

Raziel then hurried along towards Havec.

"I'm sorry about Semmarv, I sense he is reckless and has tendency to jump to conclusions, even though his recklessness makes him an excellent pilot" Raziel said.

Raziel then turned his attention to Steelven, sensing a presence in the Temple.

"Steelven, I sense your Bounty Hunter friend is back" Raziel spoke.

(it's fine with me. like Gryphflame said, I don't see any other real way for it to end.)

"I understand master. I Didn't know Master Steelven was with them till I saw them." He felt like adding that he thought Aven had left alone, but he decided to wait till asked. He was shaken, and although master Steelven seemed to be friendly to all of them, he recognised that it was not good to upset Aven. "I wasn't the only one jumping to conclusions" he thought to himself, defending his pride. Still, He was, apperantly, in the wrong. He knew he should apologise to Aven, but at the same time he was worried he'd get jumped again. "I won't let myself get caught off guard that easly again." he thought.

Chaos started towards the sick bay area. He did not know how he knew that Steelven was there, but he did.

Something is diferent about me. Something has changed since I was last here. I used to read what people would do and now, I just know. Steelven has to know what is wrong with me, and if he doesn't I don't know what I will do.

As he moved down the hall Steelven came to view. "Steelven," He called out, "I need counsel with you. If you are busy now than it can wait, but not for long."

"Ah, Chaos, you've returned." Steelven smiled. "Oh, Havec, this is Chaos, a bounty hunter." Steelven motioned his hands to Chaos.

"I hired him for assistance throughout these long years by myslef. He's been a great help."

"Chaos, I can and will address what's going with you at the moment after this meeting." explained Steelven. "Until then, I'd like you to attend. Sound okay?"

"I am pleased to meet you, Chaos. My thanks to you for all your assistance in keeping the Sith alive." She bowed, a well practiced and formal gesture that, although she hadn't used it in awhile, she certainly hadn't forgotten.

The council chamber was not difficult to approach when the temple was in normal security, and Havec opened its doors for the small crowd they'd managed to gather. She smiled at the sight of her old chair, exactly as it was when she'd last left it. "Thank you, Steelven" she said, squeezing his hand a little.

((Yay! Picyature! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29499309/ ))

Havec did sense the apprentice's panic, and brushed against his thoughts just enough to figure out what his immediate trouble was. "Please, Semmarv, take a seat- you may borrow any chair but the green or the purple." The others were primarily blank, not currently in use by Sith masters who'd customize theirs to their liking.

Aven, knowing that he wasn't officially a Sith Master, went to the end of the table and stood there, arms crossed. "Shall we get on with it? You don't need to be in tune with the force to know that if we wait too long something bad will happen."

Raziel took a seat in one of the unoccupied chairs, careful to avoid the Green and Purplen chairs, knowing they belonged to Havec and Steelven.
He glanced at the Bounty Hunter, registering his equipment.

Impressive, he obviously prefers quick and silent, same as I did Raziel thought to himself.

He doubted that Chaos had heard of him, Raziel didn't like to distribuite his skills to just anyone. Pulling away from his old Bounty Hunter memories he looked at Semmarv who seemed confused but confident.

"You're welcome to take a seat next to me Semmarv" Raziel said, indicating the empty seat next to him.

"A good point, Aven. We should begin. Could someone explain, perhaps, precisely why Steelven was trying to find an adrenaline crystal, and what it has to do with Aven and Raziel's earlier duel?" She ran over her chair with her tail, which made a very effective featherduster, then sat down, examining the rather mixed group they'd managed to get together.

((Absolutley beautiful picture, Gryph. It's so awesome...mind if I put it in my sig? Wow...it's almost exactly how I pictured our characters... ))

Steelen sat in his chair. "Semmarv's started, so let's stay on the topic of what went on with you three for now." said Steelven as he pointed to Semmarv, Aven, and Raziel.

Steelen pressed a button on his chair. Soon, some droids came buzzing in, giving everyone present a bottle of water. "It's always good to have hydration..." smiled Steelven.

"Forgive me for interupting, but I have no clue what is going on anymore...at all. Also, I have no clue how long I have been gone. If somebody would please fill me in."

Chaos knew that he was probably being a bit to bold, talking to sith demanding answers, but he had to know. Something inside was screaming for them.

Steelven cleared his throat. "Chaos, let me fill you in quickly. I've been underground, getting an adrenaline crystal, by lifting it out with the force. Aven recently left abruptly, and Raziel along with Semmar chased after him." explained Steelven. "I'm not sure what went on myself.

"That really tells me none of what I need to know, but thanks anyways."

Chaos did not know when, but some at some time while working with Steelven, he actually started to consider him a friend.
