<I>Jedi Hunter Talos Annedu stood on the deck of the water skiff in the late evening sun as he rushed toward the island where the citadel was. He arrived on the island and caught a glimpse of the enormous ziggurat crafted in a dark red stone set on Doto Rock. They pulled the skiff onto the beach and Talos approached the citadel.<BR><BR>

The entire population of the clan and many others had turned out for the ceremony. Talos strode up the isle to the base of the stairs leading to the pinnacle of the ziggurat. All of the Apprentices, Novices, Acolytes, Protectors, Guardians, and Jedi Hunters were standing near the back of the columns in order of rank. The Equites and the Elders were near the head of the column with the highest ranked members at the head of the column closest to the citadel. <BR><BR>

Talos saw HIS Master standing near the front of the platform eying HIS student confidently. Staying true to the code of the Brotherhood, the Master was in attendance to give witness to the achievements of their student. HE was more exited than ever to have come so far and finally achieve this pinnacle in HIS training. Along with <HIS/HER> Master was the entire membership of the Clan Arcona summit.]]] <BR><BR>

Talos stood before the summit of the clan as anxious could be. The pinnacle of the Journeyman ranks was within reach of HIS fingertips. It was this final choice that had to be made before truly gaining recognition within the Clan. He had to choose his darkness, his Shadowcrafting path. The ceremony was simple but the decision was life changing. <BR><BR>

The summit created a massive shadow that absorbed all of the light from the sun cloaking the entire area in darkness. The Hunter felt the shadow descend on HIM as the summit powered on their lightsabers cutting through the darkness. All of the Arconans on the ground who possessed lightsabers activated them as well. The darkness was cut by the rainbow that was created by all of the Clan's lightsabers.<BR><BR>

(If the Hunter chooses Outer Darkness)

Talos focused on the shadows that were engulfing them and creating HIS own darkness to the shadow already around HIM. The Hunter's shadow reached out and seemed to push the others away and in an instant only HIS was left and used it to unleash the power that was wielded with the ability of the Arconan Clan Power, Shadowcrafting. HE had chosen the Outer Darkness, using HIS own shadow in the physical world. <BR><BR>]]]

"Rise now, a Dark Jedi Knight," came the unanimous call from the summit. In front of the new Dark Jedi Knight hovered HIS lightsaber. The hilt shone in the sunlight and the Knight reached out and took it in HIS hand. HE thumbed the activation switch and powered on the blade. <BR><BR>

The humming felt natural in HIS hand as HE turned to face the crowd and thrust the saber high into the air and shouted, over a thunderous applause:<BR><BR>

"ARCONA INVICTA!"</I><BR><BR>
