Zyrax and Korra sat on the twin thrones of Dromund Kaas, with the presence of the entire Dark Council. The mimic face of Zyrax is one that of annoyance and anger, and everyone fears his anger, including his own sister. A person knelt in the presence of the two, with sheer fear and anxiety. The person was none other than Seyla, his apprentice.

"Seyla. I have assigned you a mission to keep an eye on Shalltear. Am I correct?" Asked Zyrax.

"Y-yes, my lord." Seyla stuttered.

"And yet... You failed."

Seyla felt a sudden uneasy feeling on her throat, as she then began to choke. She gasps for air, as Zyrax holds her neck through the Force. It was clear that Zyrax is angry.

"It was the easiest task I could have given you, and you failed at it. All I did is ordered you to keep an eye on Shalltear and assist her if she is in trouble, is that so hard to do?" Asked Zyrax.

"N-no, m-my lord.." Seyla struggled to reply.

"You miscalculated Shalltear's action, wrongly assuming that she would not fall to an illusion of a mere human. You underestimated my warnings, my apprentice. I have told you weeks ago that you should not underestimate your adversaries, and now look at what has happened." Said Zyrax.

Zyrax lifts his hand, as Seyla rose to the air. Zyrax threw Seyla from one end of the room to the other like a ragdoll, as she began to receive quite a damage. Zyrax finally threw her to the ground, as he immediately released his grip.

He rises from his seat and walked down the staircase with his hand behind his back.

"I am not mad because you failed, I am mad at how you failed. Both of you did. But unfortunately, you're the only one I can vent my anger upon at the moment." Said Zyrax.

Zyrax electrocuted Seyla as she screamed in extreme pain, as none can stop Zyrax's wrath. After 2 minutes of electrocution, Zyrax stopped. Seyla laid helpless and weak, as she began to weep. Zyrax walked back and sat on his throne once more.

"Arise, Seyla. Weeping will not help. Report to the medical bay and heal up, a wounded servant is a useless one." Said Zyrax coldly.

Seyla struggled to rise, as she bowed to the presence of her master before she left. As she left the chamber, she wept.

"Brother, aren't you a bit too hard on Seyla?" Asked Korra.

"Nonsense. It is an appropriate punishment for her. She must be disciplined of that ridiculous way of thinking, such thinking could lead to the downfall of not just her, but the entire Nazarick." Said Zyrax.

"But still, I think you're a bit too hard on her. Although she's your apprentice, she's also a woman. At the very least, try not to treat her too hard." Korra replied.

"We'll discuss Seyla later. Now, the meeting. Jadus." Said Zyrax.

"Yes, my lord." Darth Jadus replied.

"Have you finished your reconnaissance towards the Slane Theocracy?" Asked Zyrax.

"Indeed I have, my lord," Jadus replied.

Jadus stood from his chair and walked towards the center of the chamber, and placed a holopad on the floor. The holopad activated, as it showed them the map of Slaine Theocracy.

"Slane Theocracy, one of the strongest nations in the region. The nation is very religious, and very human supremacist. Their religion is based on the Six Great Gods, as they have separate sects called the Scriptures. They're very unique in every Scriptures, but they will always help each other no matter the difference." Said Jadus.
