The Archives were the single most concentrated source of Dark Side knowledge in the entire Galaxy, and as a result Darth Proeliator was often found there, when he was not stalking the training grounds, blade in hand. Today it was for a very specific reason that he prowled the aisles of tombs and scrolls, stories of sick experiments and Sith Lord's long past. When he was a Warrior inflicted by Ket Van-Derveld's madness, he had journied to Ziost, and briefly dueled and than worked with a Dark Jedi. That encounter had been his first meeting of his greatest rival and steadfast friend, Raien Keth, who was not a member of the Sith at the time. And it had been there that he had procured a scroll of an unamed Sith Lord, detailing how to build a Sith Meditation Sphere, a living breathing entity with great knowledge of the Order and battle. He had not been strong enough to create such a thing, not until his recent ascension to Lord. That was why he searched the vast repitoire of knowledge now, to find more information on the task at hand, to build his own Meditation Sphere.
Little did he know that there was another nearby, someone he had not met in a very long time.

She had spent a fair amount of the day with Lord Zeph and then practicing again. But now was not the time for physical growth, but mental growth. She was tucked in one of the vast window seats, half covered by a curtain, when she felt him. A smile touched the edges of her lips. He had been one to mention once that everyone had a feel to them. Before leaving, she had committed everyone's Force feel to her mind. It was surprising to sense him as he entered, but surely even here in the Archives of his home, Daniel wouldn't feel a need to shield absolutely.
“Good day, Lord Daniel...” Her soft voice carried towards him as she paused then pushed the curtain back and swung her legs over the edge of the seat so she could face him. “It is good to see you again.” She rose and nodded respectfully to him. She half wondered how he would react to her absense. Would he shun her for leaving as she had, or berate her for returning? Would he welcome her back like a lost daughter or punish her like wayward child. Whatever he chose, she knew she would endure it. He was one of those within these walls she respected more than some. And she knew, as with Zeph's choice of welcomes, his would be appropriate and worth whatever she had to endure. Short of true eternal exile, she knew, now, that she could endure anything.

"Hello, child. I had heard of your return." Darth Proeliator replied, fixing the Disciple with a stare that was made no less piercing by the helmet he wore. "You have missed a great deal in your absence, my dear." He stated, all the while turning back towards the shelves, to continue his search for the tomb he desired, the one that would give him the knowledge to construct the Meditation Sphere, the ancient Sith device he so deeply coveted. Sahra still had his attention of course, as he was eager to hear what she had to say. Her sudden absence had puzzled him, as her dedication ot the Sith had seemed absolute on the day he had encountered her. In fact, he had assumed she was dead, rather than simply missing in action from the Empire.

She nodded and looked down slightly ashamed. “I know, M'lord. And I am aware you don't just mean current events.” She felt his mild disappointment her. She knew it was from her abrupt departure, but it couldn't be helped. And any explanation now would seem like she was trying to validate her absence... make excuses.
She looked back up as he went back to perusing the shelves. “Can I help you find something, Lord Daniel?” She set her book of light saber making down and walked towards him. As she waited, she spoke softly. The same desire that had been in her voice when he first met her was still there. “I want to catch up, M'lord... honest I do.” She hoped he would understand that it meant more than just the happenings since her departure. She was eager to learn, eager to pursue her life here, now. She only hoped, like Lord Zeph, he wouldn't turn her away.
She didn't expect open arms. But she hoped Daniel's reply wouldn't be another death competition foray.

"Any knowledge of Naga Sadow would be of great help." Darth Proeliator replied, looking for that very information as he did so, but not wanting to tell her exactly what he searched for. The Ancient Sith Lord had constructed a Sphere of his own, and hopefully the specifics would be set down in writing, for future Sith Lords like himself. It was unfortunate that Raien was absent, not only beucase of his power but also becuase he had the Sphere with him, the only still surviving example that Darth Proeliator knew of, though he would remedy that if it was possible. He knew the Disicple wanted to grow stronger, wanted to learn and gain more power over the Force. Her vanishing had put an effective halt to that, but he could see she wanted to begin her work once more, as soon as she could.

Naga Sadow... why did Sahra recognize that name? Glancing at the datapad beside her, she smiled. “He was an old Sith Lord wasn't he?” She smiled recognizing the name from her list of past Lords and Masters to study. “Here...” She moved towards some back shelves.
Finding a place where the books had to be read in the room or permission granted for removal, she nodded. “I believe he is back here. I haven't started looking yet. I was still working on more recent topics.” She glanced back at him and smiled curiously. “Any particular thing I can help you find?” She had the feeling he wouldn't tell her, but it never hurt to ask anyway.
She had pulled her usually tightly braided hair back in a simple ponytail and with the casual clothes she had on, she didn't look very Sith like. More like an ordinary student with no connection to something so powerful as the Force. A talent she had used often away from this place, the ability to be almost chameleon like, she did it out of habit here. Trying to look less formidable and not constantly wearing her training clothes. It seemed to allot her the times she needed to not invite sparring. This afternoon was one of those days. She was leaving with Lord Zeph in the morning for some unknown place to spar for her life. Right now, knowledge seemed as good a weapon as her daggers and the promised loan of a light saber.
Realizing her mind had wandered, she refocused on Daniel. “I mean, maybe both of us looking will find it faster.” She grinned again in offer hoping to glean his reason for the query.

"Perhaps it might. Still, I cannot reveal all of my secrets, lest I become purposeless to those who covet my place in the Empire." He replied, and he knew this to be true. If he still held knowledge that those around him desired, he was thus immune to any attempts on his life, thus allowing him to focus more on gaining even more knowledge. It was a cycle that benefitted him greatly. And so the Sith Lord turned, walking towards the direction that she had pointed him in. Darth Proeliator knew she was eager to please those that were stronger than her, and so he would ask her another question. "Have you ever heard of a Sith Lord known as Darth Sion?" He asked, even as he removed one anci8ent tome that showed promise in his quest.
