Roth is sleeping in his office at the cantina, another late night of making ends meet. He falls into a deep sleep and starts dreaming. He dreams of standing up and leaving his office. The cantina is empty of all but a cleaning droid. The doors swish open and he walks out into the night air. "Quite cold, for a dream." He thinks subconsciously. He takes a left and continues walking.
He passes a few pedestrians who just glance at him. He continues walking into a shadier area and a couple of thugs accost him, demanding his wallet. Roth just chuckles coldy and grabs the assumed leader by the throat and threw him over the ledge, an endless drop. The other two pull out knives and charge at him. He grabs each one by the hand and with one swift motion snaps them into kindling. He then grabs each by the throat and chokes them to submission before moving on.
He continues his sleep-march to a decrepit old building and knocks on the door. The next thing Roth knows is waking up to overly bright sunlight. He looks around and finds himself at that decrepit building again. "I thought that was a dream..." He looks down at his hands and at himself in a nearby reflective surface. He felt more powerfull somehow, but he just couldn't put his finger on it...

There were no lights on save for one in a tower high above and if he were to look hard he'd just see the silouette of a young woman.

Roth looked for an entrance, and after finding one, he pounded on the door to be let in. He had to find what this place means to him...what drew him here... He shuddered involuntarily as he though about his experience....was it sleep walking...or just a nightmare that he can't yet wake up from...He waited patiently for someone to open the door, anticipation rising...

The light went off and if he looked up, he could follow her path as lights automatically turned on and off as she came across them. Finally the door slid open. "Come, inside. You're late. The stars had whispered tales of your coming all afternoon and it's surely to rain soon." She spoke and it was hard to tell if she was being cryptic or completely off her rocker. "At least... I think that's what they were saying. It's getting too hard to hear them with this pollution caging me. Xathos'll help me." She nodded to herself looking to the sky. The sky itself was clear, but as she finished her speech, thunder sounded in the distance.

Roth looked around, and finaly his eyes rested on the woman. "Why am I here? How did I even get here...And pardon me for asking, but who in heck are you?" He was definately scared, but Roth knew beter than to back down. He was shaking slightly, stuck in the etherealness of a bizarre nightmare...

Lyrica eyed him wearily and then smiled. "You're actually in my Enclave. I'm Sith Master Lyrica Rosenburg... or former Sith Master. They do not see eye to eye with my teachings and want me dead. Therefore, I left and hid myself well, starting my new enclave here. You know you cannot see this place if you are looking for it? And if you're not looking for it, it appears to be just a ruddy old shop."

'Well then how do you explain me finding it so easily? I must be going out of my mind...Why does your name seem so...familiar...it's if I should know you...you're a Sith?" There was a quiver of fear in his voice, but also a quiver of exitement, if one listened.

"The stars told me of your potential and brought you to me. They passed on the whispers of my orders until they filled your pretty little head and led you here. You were not looking specifically for this place... and your heart possesses the same amount of darkness as light. It's by my will and your balance that you are here." When she spoke of his head, she reaised a fragile index finger and twirled it playfully towards him.

His head started aching and he didn't know if he wanted to scream or cry, but he couldn't move, despite the pain..."The...the stars? Light AND dark?" He screamed/sobbed and clutched his head as if it were about to explode...

Lyrica didn't move for she had used this distraction made by the stars to enter his mind undetected so that she may search for what he held dear. For her to free him, she must know what mattered most to him... and destroy it before him. And if there be more than one, destroy it all. It was a must, she had to destroy all that he held dear, for that were all the ties that held him inside that cage and prevented him from true freedom.

His thoughts were disordered and spastic. He flashed back to his one cherished treasure. The Cantina...he built it from scratch, and was still adding on to it...he still had mountains of debt and wanted nothing to happen to it.

((OOC: I thought that would be the thing... I didn't want to destory it though to no avail))
Lyrica smiled, retreating from his mind and willing the stars on, thanking each silently. "Come, your quarters are just up the east tower. I can show you there." Without a word, she started to make her way for the massive spiral staircase. "Tomorrow, your training will begin."

Roth frowned. "Ok..." He followed her up and entered his new room. He'd have to make preparations for his absence, but that can wait. He soon fell asleep, exhausted, with the realization that the woman he soon would be calling Master...

Lilith wondered the halls of the Enclave, wishing for sleep but knowing it wouldn't come. She sighed and sat back up in her tower room, watching the stars until they dissapeared with the morning light.

Roth awoke in the morning feeling as drained as he was when he first fell asleep. He was anxious to get started, and headed off to the tower where he first met the woman. He walkd up the stairs and stopped at her door and knocked politely.
