Christophsis
The orders were simple enough, go to Christophsis to the newly discovered Sith temple ruins to study the mysterious force that drew dozens to their deaths already. If an artifact was causing it, she was to bring it home to the Inquisitors for further study before seeing it destroyed. From what could be made out of the ancient Sith texts on the wall, they spoke of an artifact that not only drew beings to it but slowly tore their life force away from them, in the end killing them and growing stronger in the process.
No one else had been able to deal with it so far. And Inquisitors were a rare commodity with so many deployed to the front lines to manage the Jedi threat. Amnell had only just begun to learn and understand the force and what she could truly do with it. That alone made her dangerous enough to not want out there in the open alongside troops. It was a situation that was likely only to end badly. Especially when dealing with Jedi directly, or Sith, they too were just as problematic for a weakened and unskilled Inquisitor.
The mere thought of Jedi angered Amnell for they were the very reason she had been pulled into the Inquisition in the first place. So much trouble they had caused her, bringing her close to death with a bar set on fire by a single Jedi who foolishly used his powers while heavily drunk.
At the very fringes of the ruins, Amnell sighed heavily, feeling the pull of the artifact already. Whispers in the darkness ahead could be heard in her mind, but yet were too soft to make out just yet. Still, they had a pull of their own, coaxing her forward. She turned her head to the side, cocking it slightly, her curiosity was beginning to get the best of her.
Finally, she stepped forward, a glow latern in hand, she entered into the crumbling doorway of the imposing crystalline Sith temple. Those whispers and that power tugging at her, Amnell permitted to lead her further into the darkness, letting them alone be her guide towards the ancient artifact that had to be somewhere within the deepest bowels of the structure.
