Accidental video; un: darth imperius

[drawsghosts]

CW: Talk of potential death.

[In a memory, Talwyn has bested Darth Thanton in combat within the Dark Council chamber. The young Sith approaches his nemesis, his ancestor's lightsaber in hand, for this was right before he finally built one of his own.

Before he can strike Thanton down, a power surges through him, intense and uncontrollable. Voices speak to him. The voices belong to the ghosts he has taken into his body, whose power he has added to his own. His head is swimming and his body jerks.

Force lightning gathers in a maelstrom, Talwyn losing his grip on his powers. It's all too much for him. Thanton is blown back as Talwyn unleashes a wave of lightning. When it ends, Thanton is gone, and Talwyn collapses.

He knows the truth now. He took too many ghosts into himself. He's dying.

The video ends there, after he passes out.]

Er... that's not my best moment.

I've never heard of that ability. [But his eyes do have that bright sheen as they always do when Maul hears of power that interests him greatly.] But then I was also always told there was no life after death for Sith.

[drawsghosts]

I wouldn't recommend doing it. Not that you could, since I'm quite sure the ritual is long lost in your time.

[Talwyn intends to take it to his grave.]

I also have a rare ability in the Force that I inherited from my ancestor. Ghosts are drawn to me and I elicit strong emotions in them just by being near them.

[survivalthroughhate]

I suspect what knowledge has been lost from your time to mine could fill a small library.

[Maul says dryly.]

So it is like psychometry among Force-users then, rare to find and hard to control. Have you found any ghosts here then? I have been told by the natives the city is quite ancient.

[drawsghosts]

I've yet to sense any, but they could be avoiding me.

[survivalthroughhate]

There is one area here which has a strange bit of history to it. Part reality and part dreamscape. I wonder if you could sense any there.

[The part of the city that had once been Deerington so very long ago.]

[drawsghosts]

I'll have to check that out, then. Just for curiosity's sake, though.

[survivalthroughhate]

If you see mine in there, be sure to let me know. I never let was able to let go of the anger I felt at dying long enough to exorcise it.

[drawsghosts]

...Okay then, I'll keep an eye out for it.
