Thursday 18-III-32ABY
Lonely footsteps echoed off the walls of the Yridia Castle. The main hall was darker then it usually was as if the castle was running on backup generators. The footsteps stopped being heard as Frosty halted in his way. His pain was getting unbearable and it was nothing that the Force could do about it. He leaned against the wall, holding his left palm over an open wound in his right part of the abdomen; his right arm seemed to dangle along the side of his body, barely holding his shut off saber. Bright green blood gushed out as Frosty let off a thundering deep scream. The echoed seamed to mock him as the screams came back to him. The Obelisk Exarch looked around: old furniture pieces were thrown down and out of their places, banners on the wall were ripped and charred, bodies were laying scattered on the floor. He took a deep breath and all sorts of smells invaded his head, the hall smelled of burnt human meat, sweat and a faint tint of mold.
This place is need of renovations. Though Frosty for himself as he started moving again. The massive Dashade moved along the wall helped by the wall as if he was a clumsy drunkard. Skulls cracked under his feet as he went over the dead bodies, his cape was brushing everything behind him. The ash mixed well with the fresh blood on it forming a pattern at the base. He felt his armor was getting heavy; he hung the saber hilt on his belt and reached for the strap on his should. With a quick easy move, the heavy armor fell on the floor with a thumping metal sound.
The Exarch seemed to be hurry and he looked like he could run if he could. But the Obelisk didn't get too far as the sound of doors opening could be heard behind him. A bright light beamed went through the room from the open doorway like it lightning. Frosty looked back and first saw the giant silhouettes projected on the hall floor by the light. He grabbed his saber from the belt and ignited it. The vermillion hue of his saber, accentuated all of Frosty's wounds and the sweat appeared to simmer on his body emphasizing every muscle. He corrected his posture, ignoring the pain as he could. Experience taught him not to show any weakness to his opponents. But on a better look he saw the bald head and the characteristic red eye implant focusing on him like the wraith of a Krayt dragon. It was Oberst and an entire platoon.
"You done it now Quaestor, didn't you?" said the Consul as he approached Frosty.
"I didn't do anything that wasn't expected of me." replied the Tridens Quaestor.
The silence paused the situation for a bit as Oberst looked around the hall.
"It's a massacre! And the other castle halls look just as "great". Who gave you the green to use this castle and my troops to start your personal war?" "How did it come to this?" asked Ronovi, revealing herself from behind Oberst.
Frosty's mind started drifting away at the sound of that question. He remembered it all like it was yesterday, time lost continuity as the Obelisk Exarch found himself sitting at the same table during that same discussion.
Yep, this is the last Quaestor report you will receive from any Tridens Quaestor anytime soon. Above, you've read a preview of the closing fiction I'm writing. These are sad times times indeed. Tridens is being closed, heck the other houses are being closed but like the Pheonix bird, from the ashes rises two new houses. We're starting fresh, 'tabula rasa' like the ancient Romans said, and with the support of all the active people from all the houses we're making two new better houses: Kaerner and Reinthaler. That coupled with a new system of leadership (Rollmasters acts as Tribunes) will hopefully give us a great start, more fun to build fictionally and so on.
I'd like to take this opportunity and mention that Tridens' history has been pretty tumultuous, with ups and downs back from the days that Rekio was QUA and Tridens only had two members to the days that Tridens kicked ass in the GJW during the time Bloodfyre was Consul. Tridens had lots valuable members, some come and go but their legacy remains forever.
I'm putting down the entire Quaestors of the past list:
I would have loved to have an AED list but some of the names were lost in time.
And I'm also adding the current roster for future reference in case some of you nostalgics are bored and searching through the database: PinRank Member Status 756 Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae Active 3127 Warlord Rekio Corsair Tarentae Active 402 Battlelord Kessian Armus Active 4359 Battlelord MERLANCE Active 208 Battlelord ShadowFoxx LoA 10425 Epis Jondaar Domi Active 4017 Exarch Frosty Romanae Tarentae Active 5949 Battlemaster Archean Erinos Tarentae Active 4179 Prelate Dox Romanae Active 7699 Templar Kyra Starfire Active 10035 Dark Jedi Knight Cypha Active 9118 Dark Jedi Knight Evant Taelyan Active 10510 Dark Jedi Knight Jagen Phoenix Active 9367 Dark Jedi Knight Tlaloc Elols Active 9391 Jedi Hunter Giovanni Palermo LoA 9330 Protector Adriel Ferore Active 11209 Protector Coop Ter-An LoA 9984 Protector Zero Raven Active 11395 Acolyte Dantha nor Reith Active 10905 Acolyte Maaz Inglet Active 10388 Acolyte Psyche Active 10926 Novice Razor Active 11154 Novice Tridias Active 10511 Apprentice Damos Active 10717 Apprentice DarthAnubus633 Active 11363 Apprentice DeathTheKid Active 10884 Apprentice DEGRA_SIN Active 11289 Apprentice Lady Wolf Active 10637 Apprentice Latak Bonak Active 10797 Apprentice motega Active 11292 Apprentice natee Active 10946 Apprentice nickbutno Active 11433 Apprentice nimcalathsol Active 11384 Apprentice Phyn Key Active 10761 Apprentice poneros Active 11341 Apprentice Sigan Thrax Active 10697 Apprentice STOMA NOLAK Active 10615 Apprentice Tal Badawzi Active 10861 Apprentice Viin Active
