AN: Here we are and sorry for the wait but needed to find the right spark to get back into writing Star Wars again.
Wandering the good parts of the desert of Korriban is a challenge and Segon remembers his own world's desert lands. The harsh winds and sand storms appear as fast as they disappear but are as aggressive and wild as the nature of the Dark Side. Segon was unbothered by the winds and kept his cloak on to shield himself with his mask helping to breathe in the clean air through the sand storms that blew to him or off. It reminded him deeply of his home planet some areas had such wilds that were untamed or allow such a control.
"The wild storms...Korriban is very much the dark side itself. I can feel the force and how it combines with the Dark Side of the Force. Fear...anger...hate...rage...pain...evil...pride...hunger...and so many more," Segon thought as he felt all of those emotions and how it all tied to the old Sith Lords to some nowadays.
Segon was also trapped by the spins and fluid movements from the sand storms of Korriban. It sparked something for him to do when he returned from this trial and entered the tomb but couldn't yet as someone was guarding the front door before his eyes. Every Eliksni can see a fight within their opponent's eyes and the young warrior saw his rival had it as clear as day. The said rival was a dark-skinned young woman, a year older than Segon with short white hair, golden eyes, a scar across her nose, and a figure that showed muscle yet captured the beauty's attention.
Her attire was revealing from a black jacket that showed her cleavage along with a white collar shirt, torn-up denim short shorts, keen high brown boots with black heels, and a belt around her waist which acts like a tail at times. Lastly, she had these golden gauntlets on her arms that could withstand a lightsaber attack and were her main choice of weapons to use with her strength.

This was Eskella, the daughter of the Overseer and happens to be Segon's rival at the Sith Academy. She oftentimes does bounty hunting to keep an eye on certain targets and enemies of the empire.
Eskella crossed her arms before saying, "Ready to take your trials Fallen? Only those worthy can enter the tomb and become a Sith by facing the trials. Are you ready to face them?"
"I am ready, Eskella. It would wise to not question the will and honor I would bring to my family, clan, & people," Segon said, being a threat he looked at his rival dead in the eyes who just smirked back at him.
"Good...I am excited for our clash down the line, Fallen," Eskella stated as she allowed Segon to enter the tombs and begin his trial.
Segon looked back at the dark-skinned woman and saw how she was doing an extra sway of her hips, being captured and curious about other female species heavily. He was at the right age to find a mate and would have found a good amount for his clan. That story is for another time and he keeps his trial in the tombs underway.
Eskella brought a holodisk, showing her father was on the other end, and said, "He has entered the tomb and will journey into the Vally of the Dark Lords."
"Good. Once he completes his trial and becomes officially Sith Apprentice, he will rise and get Darth Baras more than that fool Vemrin. Lady Rubedos foresee that Segon and another one will rise above the other Sith in training," Tremel informed.
"Another one already, father?" Eskella asked.
"Not quite, more of one that Lady Rubedos personally found again and trained in Sith Achemy while training this student very secretly to get the likes of Darth Thanaton or even better Zash's attention on this one," Tremele explained, recalling how Rubedos freed a former slave and begin to train her just at the same time as Segon came to Korriban.
"Putting certain students in a few Sith or Dark Lords within the Sith Empire. A dangerous game father. If Darth Baras or Thanaton discovered your ploy...you might be targeted," Eskella frowned, knowing what could happen to her father.
"Can't be help, my daughter. I already have a target on my back. Lady Rubedos expects I would be chased out from Korriban or removed...my vines of Sith run deep, even if others can't see it," Tremele said with a small bow which his daughter returned.
It was a cruel fate and death to come but Eskella knew that her father was doing this for Sith to save themselves from those two secret students that Rubedos had recruited. The holo call ends and the white-haired beauty was left in her thoughts.
"Could those two change the Sith Empire and the Sith itself? Rubedos is insane but her methods have worked in the long run and using a Fallen might change things around. From what I saw, Segon is an honorable yet dangerous warrior and would kill those who dare make threats to him. Vemirn has no fangs to his bite and would suffer death from Segon. I hope he makes that bastard suffer," Eskella thought with a smile on her face and began to leave the area, having a feeling and sensing that Segon was battling some students to creatures within the tomb to complete his trial.
