The young Anzat male toyed with the hilt that he grasped with a tightened fist, veins popped out along his right forearm. The purple hue of the blade lit up a small area around him, revealing a desert-like landscape. Behind him, the Academy on Lyspair. Darkblade had spent much of his time here since joining the Brotherhood.

“Master, did you really think you could sneak up on me?” Darkblade quipped, spinning his body around athletically and thrusting his ignited blade into what turned out to be thin air.

Suddenly, a hooded figure appeared in front of him, just where his saber had initially struck. From its holder within his sleeve, Meleu utilised the Force to pull the ‘’Blight-bringer’’ down to his right hand.

“I did not come here to fight, I came here to congratulate you.” The Warrior pointed out to his apprentice. “However, if a duel is what you are after, I am more than happy to re-enact the events of Karufr.”

The Jedi Hunter held his silence, continuing to toy with his blade, which Meleu began to openly show interest toward. A smile began to creep onto the Krath’s face, followed by an extinguishing of his purple saber.

“Here, nosey!” Darkblade threw the hilt underarm towards Meleu, directing it towards his left hand, who at the same time unlit his own blade.

The Sith examined the blade, admiring its beauty and perfect alignment. He fidgeted with the lightsaber himself, igniting, extinguishing and re-igniting the blade several times. The pure purple blade made the Warrior chuckle. He threw the hilt back to the Anzat.

“A Krath till death, interesting.” Meleu continued to hold his rarely-seen smile. “I’m surprised the hilt doesn’t have ‘Death to the Obelisk’ engraved into it”.

“Just be glad you aren’t an Obelisk, or I’d have taken a leaf out of Darth Bane’s book and brought back the Rule of Two momentarily, just to kill you.”

Meleu’s eyes rolled, he let out a heavy sigh.

“Let’s not get too big for our boots. Accept my congratulations and let’s forget the past, especially recent events. I should never have engaged you in combat.” Meleu brought the conversation back to reality, deep down somewhere in the depth of his cold heart a small bubble of regret had suddenly burst.

The Dark Jedi Knight nodded and extended his right hand which met with Meleu’s to create a firm handshake. Some peace had restored between master and student.

I am honoured to be recommending Darkblade for his elevation to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He has been a long term active member of House Galeres and Clan Arcona, helping not only drive activity up but also get others involved. Showing his effort and dedication to the Brotherhood and to progress through the Journeymen ranks.

Since joining Galeres he has been around on IRC all of the time, keeping himself involved in anything possible. Giving his input into House and Clan Matters all the time. Tho he has taken his time to work his way up the Journeymen ranks he has managed to make sure he got all of the experience and knowledge that comes with time inside of the Brotherhood. For all of his hard work and effort he has earned himself this elevation. Congratulations on all your hard work and effort Darkblade. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future. Keep it up.

I am happy to put forward Darkblade for promotion to Knight. When he first appeared in IRC, he was a thunderstorm of activity, he reached Jedi Hunter in a very short period of time and was waiting for his time-in-rank to kick in for each previous rank. He has taken part in several DJB-wide competitions as well as Operation: Figureheads and has proved to be a force to be reckoned with.

Despite being busy in real life over the past few months, he has been able to tick off all the requirements one by one and has even began to start work on his new character and fiction for it.

Thank you Darkblade for all your hard work, this is where you journey truly begins within the Brotherhood.

I am pleased to announce that Guardian Darkblade has achieved the requirements for the rank of Jedi Hunter.

Firstly, he is now a regular on the #arcona IRC channel, where he is among the first to join in with the various conversation and banter within, demonstrating that he is a valuable part of the Arconan community.

His general activity level has been impressive. Not only has he taken part in five competitions, placing in one of these, but he has also written over 2,000 words of character fiction, as well as managing to obtain the 4th rank within the Shadow Academy, helped by the fact he passed important courses such as Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals. He has also organised a DB-wide competition, "Star Wars: Assault Team Arena Competition", further demonstrating potential as a future leader.

He has also been awarded a merit medal, this being a Dark Cross, and been at the rank of Guardian for the required time.

Congratulations, DB. Just one more promo and you have that saber. ;)

I am honoured to be recommending Darkblade for his elevation to the rank of Guardian. Since his time inside of Arcona he has been a constantly active and driven individual and once more completing all of the requirements set forth by the Master at Arms.

He has managed to hold his current rank for the last fourteen days as well as having taken his Order exam inside of the Shadow Academy. Since his last elevation Darkblade has been on IRC talking to members of the clan as well as members of the Brotherhood. Getting on with members and expanding his knowledge and communications with members of Galeres and Arcona. He has currently completed a total of twenty five Shadow Academy Exams, not only expanding his knowledge of the Brotherhood but of Star Wars in general with no signs of stopping. As well as getting himself inside the Shadow Academy Society and earning the Rank 2 mark.

Darkblade has continued forward in developing his character, this was in the form of a seven hundred and fifty word fiction, expanding and deepening his character bringing him both to life and giving him a personality. Ontop of all of the above he has also managed to get himself involved in the ACC, getting a fully approved character sheet. As well as taking and passing the ACC Qualification.

For all of his hard work and passion so far I am honoured to see Darkblade elevated to the rank of Guardian. Congratulations mate, I look forward to seeing more hard work from you in the future.
