Inner Sanctum?
Yep
Imperious, Khem, and Achelon entered the Inner Sanctum of Ludo Kreesh's Tomb. They had slain Many Tomb Beasts, and Set up many smaller Camps. This was a Freshly Rediscovered Tomb, and It's Study was Paramount, as was it's Preservation. Many Korriban Tombs Held Traps and Secret Passage Ways, and this was no Different. However, this Tomb had stood untouched for Thousands of Years, until Revan himself entered it. It would be another Three Centuries before The Empire would Rediscover the Tomb amongst the Ruins of the Korriban Desert.
Imperious Knew that He would have to be extra Careful when he Explored these Ruins, Ludo Kreesh's Descendants had tried to Avenge their Embarrassing Defeat Many Times, but Ludo was the Most Paranoid and Suspicious of the Lot of them, and that mean all manner od Traps, Triggers and The Like. Imperious would always send out a Wave of Telekinetic **** Energy when coming to a New Room. Becuase it would trigger any Pressure Activated Traps.
He was Now in the Inner Sanctum and Once more Used his Trap Sweeping Measure. Satisfied with the Outcome he walked his Way up the Steps, and came before the Great Sarcophagus. ''To Think, that all these Years, Our People walked past this Sacred Place, completely Ignorant of it's Value or Contents. And Now, we have reclaimed it.'' Says Achelon as he starts to go for the Sarcophagus but Imperious Blocks his Path with his Hand. ''Wait, this is Too Easy, this is Not True Sarcophagus. Look at the Inscriptions on the Lid and the Base. They Are Inconsistent and Do not Match those of the ones we Have on Record. The Dark Side is Steeped in these Halls, but I can sense a Larger Concentration of Energy.........Right Below Us.'' Says Imperious as He Blasts the Sarcophagus with Telekinesis and reveals a Hidden Entrance. ''You are Truly One-Of-A-Kind My Lord.'' Says Achelon as Imperious Jumps In the Hole.
(True Chamber)
As Imperious, Khem Val, and Achelon Knelt in the Space the Hole th3y jumped into had, They waited for Imperious to make a Move. Truth was he Was Speaking to Horak-Mul within his Mind. ''My Lord? Are You Alright?'' Asks Achelon as he Goes to touch his Liege's Shoulder, but is Prevented by Khem. ''My Master is communing with the Ghosts he has bound, it is unwise to Not let him break the connection himself, else We Risk the Worst.'' Khem says in his Native Language. Soon Imperious Stood Up straight and walked a Few steps Forward, before he Stopped, and then Briefly Paused before He continued Forward up to an Altar. Taking the Knife on the Altar in One Hand he promptly Cut his Hand and Let the Blood flow from his Palm onto the Stone Altar. The Whole Room Brgan to Pulsate with Dark Side Energy at this point.
Torches were lit up in an Instant Revealing several Sarcophagus's and A Few Scattered Bones. Looking to Darth Achelon Imperious Spoke. ''Go and Gather our Reserve Forces we need to Secure this Site as soon as Possible.'' Says Imperious as he Waits until Achelon is Gone before he Reaches out with the ****, forcing the Lids from the Sarcophagus as the probes Start their Work. ''Khem Watch my Back, I'm going to open the Main Sarcophagus, I don't want anything sneaking up from Behind.'' Says Imperious as Khem Nods and Draws His Cortosis and Phrik Lined Vibro-Sword ready To Defend his Master at Any Cost. Imperious Pries the Lid off and steps back as the Stench and Air trapped inside Escapes, after ages of Confinement. ''At Last. After Thousands Of Years, Ludo Kreesh is Found, and his Artifact's will benefit the Sith Empire for Many Generations to Come. Now then, let us.......see what is inside this Box.'' Says Imperious as he Searches the Coffin for Ludo's Treasures. ''Amazing, This Must Be Kreesh's Holocron, I'm not Certain on whose this Scroll is however, The Parchment is Preserved Rather Well, but it's Decay and Wear does not match that of something Created from the Day's Ludo was Alive. Probe-72W86HA Take a Scan of the Body in this Coffin, I wish to Know How he died, and Just How Old he is. And Be certain to transmit the Data to one of Our Primary Relay Stations, I want the Dark Council Kept apprised of our Progress, now that we are certain this is The Tomb of Ludo Kreesh.'' Says Imperious as Said Probe does so. ''Hmm, This Dagger is Not Sith, at Least Not entirely, the Hilt is Clearly Sith, but The Blade is Of a Metal that is Not found on Korriban, at least not to my Knowledge, Perhaps Darth Vowrawn could have his People Run a Test to discover the True nature of the Metal or its origin. Wait a Minute..........Khem, Ready Your Weapon We are not Alone anymore.'' Says Imperious as he draws His Lightsaber and Ignites the Dual Blade's, Revealing a Crimson Blade on one side and a Cyan Blue on the Other. ''No, I won't be needing that. I can Sense your Presence Spectre, show Yourself.'' Says Imperious as he Deactivates his Saber and watches as the Ghostly Spectre of a Sith Pureblood appeared.
''So My True Tomb has at Last been found? And by a Descendant of that filth Naga Sadow?'' Asks the Spectre. ''So you are Ludo Kreesh? The one whose Descendants have tried Many Times to Seize control of the Empire of the Sith? And always Failed? Then I must Bind You to me, your help wpuld be Invaluable.'' Says Imperious as he Begins the **** Walking Ritual that He learnt Years ago on Dromund Kaas. He Soon Pacifies the Ghost enough to Bind him. He then staggers slightly, but unlike the first Few Times, He does not drop to one Knee. His Body having Begun to compensate for it by itself, though it was still Taxing as Hell. ''It is Done, I now Possess the Power of Ludo Kreesh, I have Become Empowered by His Rage, Pain, Suffering, and Strength in the ****, but I have Knowledge of....Something Else As well, a Temple of some Kind. The Location is..........Unclear to Me, I will Have to Rest before I can properly Sift through Kreesh's Memories, but it will require Time. Let's Return to the Academy I need to Gather my Strength.
(Private Meditation Chamber of Darth Imperious, Korriban Sith Academy)
Imperious was In Deep Meditation he was trying to Gain a State or Peace, before he Began to Sift through the Memories of Ludo Kreesh.
(The Memories)
Imperious had Recently learned how to look at the Memories of the Sith Spirits he Bound to him. And he was doing so right now. First he Saw Kreesh's Earliest Memory. _Father Taking Pleasure in the **** of the Beast, Revealing in the Instinctual Way his Emotions Were Inflamed. But also Sad at the Beasts ****. _Then Came a Memory In Between. _Blade on Blade, Passion against Passion, Will against Will, Determined to Rise to power and Bring Glory to the Family. Refusal to Submit before the Spectre of Marka Ragnos, but Determined to Win even if it means Losing. _And Finally one from the Later Years of his Life. _Smug Satisfaction as He Watched the Coward Flee from the Caldera with the Remnants of his Fleets Remnants. Pleasure at avenging his Humiliation and Defeat. But Dissatisfaction at not being able to Personally Kill his Foe. _Imperious was **** to Stop there, he'd Learnt from the beginning that it was better to See The Most Important Memories from the Three Points of the Ghosts Life, that allowed him to establish a Baseline for future Searches. He then Left His Mediation Sphere and Poured Himself a Glass of his Personal Stock of Dromund Brandy, he Then Unlocked the Door and Left after Drinking from Glass. He Had a Headache from the Mental Exertion of Sifting the Memories, but that was not anything New.
He then Looked over the Data before He decided to Take an Interest in some of the other Acolytes at the Academy. He would not go to the **** Pens this time, he Wanted a Warrior this time around. He went to Rance for Recommendations.
(Rance's Office)
Rance had Three Acolytes before him, One an Imperial Human, Another Pureblood, and the Last a Zabrak. ''Listen up you three I have been Instructed by the Overlord of this Academy, Darth Imperious To find Three Students Worthy of becoming his New Acolytes. One of You three will be Selected, you will each be Given Six Trials to Test your Combat Skills, Knowledge of the Sith Code, Ability to Retrieve Information, Knowledge of the Empire's History, Ability to Gain Artifacts, and Your General Competence. Darth Imperious will at times personally Oversee one or More of Your Trials, otherwise his Apprentices will do so in his Place. Ah My Lord, Allow me to Introduce you to the First Three to be tested for your First Acolyte. This is Sqr'ahc Tar'diearn He was Discovered on Balmorra in one of our Factories. He isn't Human, But he has an Unrelenting Tenacity. This is Asrva'Torsrion he is A Pureblood Sith of a Distinguished Line, he has an almost unnatural Rage and Penchant for ****. And this is Talone Dorne, from the Dorne Family, he has a Unnerving Cleverness in Battle.'' Says Rance as Imperious inspects them. ''Very Good, Lord Xalek will be in Charge of This Groups Endgame. Now I am Required at in the Valley of the Dark Lords, I am Directing the Excavations of the Tomb of Ludo Kreesh.''
