His eyes shot open, gleaming in the shadow his hood cast across his face. His raspy breath echoed throughout the dark chamber. His hands shook with the weight of many years, his fingers gripping the air in front of him.
Syris stood up, slowly bringing his head up to face in front of him, where another, muscular, man stood. A smile spread across his dark face as he gazed upon his master. The time was coming, it wouldn't be long now.
Master, what a. . . .surprise to see you here. What could bring you out of your warm room at this time of night?
Syris's seemingly polite inquiries fell short on the wizzened master, who had long gotten used to the fake sincerity in his words.
I have come here because of a certain senator. . . she seems to have shown up on our doorstep Syris
Syris' eyes narrowed as he listened to his master, nearly hissing the words.
And how. . .
The question is not how, Syris!! But why. Why is a senator at our doorstep? What have you failed to see!?
Syris could feel his heart beating. His master was angry, but for the first time in his life, that did not scare him. He was certain of his abilities now, but this new surprise may cause some doubt.
You wish me to speak with her?
Syris did not need an answer, a glare from his master was all that was required. He walked down the halls, his cloak billowing behind him. In the force, he was no beacon, he was no show of power, he was a cloud. . .no, he was nothing. He was a black whole in the liquid light landscape of the force.
He entered the room with the senator, recognizing her as one he had met with before. Her eyes darted around the room, stopping cold as she gazed upon the Syris' gleaming eyes.
What is it you want?
His cold metallic voice rang out shrill in the room, only causing the senator to shiver all the harder.
Its the Jedi Temple sir, it has been attacked, and we were not informed like you. . .
Forget the promise!!
Syris' voice was no longer shrill, it roared through the room, shaking the very chair the senator sat on.
Who has done this!?
I...I don't know...
Syris formed his hand into a fist, lifting the senator from her chair, pulling her closer to him.
I think you do.
His voice was softer now, almost a whisper, changing to a hiss most like that of his master's.
It was....a man..named.....S...Sorgo.
The senator sputtered, uttering the words between gasps for air that would not come. With that, Syris narrowed his eyes, releasing the limp form of the senator onto the ground. He looked down at the dead body, twisting his mouth into something that just may have been a smile.
Thank you.
He turned around and called upon a servant standing outside the door. His hands flexing next to his body, the strange smile still twisting his face.
I wish to speak with this...Sorgo. Maybe I could use him as an Ally. . .for now.
The servant backed away, nodding his head. Not in agreement, but in fear, in fear of what might happen if he denied those gleaming eyes, ever shining beneath the cloak.
((OOC: Until someone completely new joins the roleplay, I will act for Syris, sooooo, if The Ones ever posts again, and wishes to speak with Syris, I will play 😛 ))
