Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Glowing red eyes, black tactical clothing and boots to match, the young man stood there twirling his left saber menacingly as it hummed through the air. His right one was perfectly still, blade at a angle to floor in front of him. His dark hair blew slightly in the wind. He stared at the young man in front of him, trying to see into his soul. The Sith apprentice had not faced this opponent before or any like him.
The two young men stood alone in a room enveloped in pure darkness, yet both of them were almost perfectly illuminated as they stood there. The floor was polished to a near mirrored finish, the walls were matte but just as equally dark and forbidding. Everything about this environment seemed other worldly to both young men, both of whom had seen their fair share of the galaxy, yet this was completely different. Completely unique to the both of them in a way that made them feel both uneasy.
There was sound, the sound of their lightsabers of course, two red and one blue humming in the air, one whirling around at a higher pitch while the other two sat still for a long moment. Yes there were these sounds, but there were others as well. The was a dark ominous whispering sound of what could be nature lurking just beyond the walls, the creaking sound of some forest that permeated the air, but it was faint and barely there. What was more present and more noticeable was the sound of their breathing, Adrian could of course hear his own, which was unusual unless he was focused on it in a deep dark meditation, but he could also hear the breathing of the Jedi standing several feet away from him, what was more unsettling was that he felt he could hear his own blood coursing through his veins. It was so surreal that he his eyes had to dart around the room to check to see if all of this was real or was just a vivid hallucination.
He drew his breath in, feeling the cold air enter his nostrils and the warm air exiting it, he heard his heart start beating louder and louder. He shook his head and narrowed his red eyes, he took an aggressive stance and stared at his Jedi opponent.
"Enough of this posturing. We're both warriors, lets do this."
Adrian lunged at this opponent striking high with his right blade and moving his left low and to the side, both seemingly moving at blinding speed in opposite directions from one another coming together to form a lightning quick and potentially lethal strike, the right blade crashed into the blue lightsaber as his opponent, the left blade was redirected with a kick to his hand but he smelled burned flesh and grinned.
"You're such a dissapointment."
