Embodiment Of Darkness

Chapter 7: The Rise of the Eternal Throne

The Sith Empire, under the dark reign of Darth Malgus and his loyal apprentice, Darth Draconis, had expanded its dominion across the galaxy, crushing any resistance that dared to stand against its might. Draconis' unwavering loyalty had solidified his place at Malgus's side, and the galaxy trembled in fear of their power.

Yet, in the shadowy corners of the Sith Empire, a new threat was brewing—one that would challenge their reign and plunge the galaxy into even deeper chaos. The Eternal Throne, a secretive empire shrouded in mystery, had begun to emerge from the shadows.

Rumors of the Eternal Throne had been circulating for some time, whispered among spies and intelligence operatives. Their origins and motives remained enigmatic, but one thing was certain—they possessed a power that rivaled the Sith, and they sought to bring down both the Empire and the Galactic Republic.

Darth Malgus, ever vigilant, had received reports of the Eternal Thrones' activities. He summoned Vexen to his side, his crimson eyes burning with a mixture of curiosity and wariness. "There are whispers of a new threat, Draconis. The Eternal Throne. We must learn more about them."

Draconis nodded, his cybernetic enhancements gleaming with readiness. "I will do whatever it takes to protect the Empire, my Master."

Together, they embarked on a mission to uncover the secrets of the Eternal Throne. Their journey led them to a remote and desolate planet on the fringes of known space, where they discovered an ancient Sith temple—an unlikely sanctuary for the enigmatic empire.

As they ventured deeper into the temple's darkened corridors, they encountered the first signs of the Eternal Thrones' presence. Strange markings adorned the walls, symbols that spoke of a power both ancient and formidable. Draconis heightened sensitivity to the Force allowed him to sense a lingering darkness, one that had a unique signature separate from the Sith.

Their progress was halted by an unexpected adversary—an elite assassin of the Eternal Throne, clad in obsidian armor and wielding a weapon imbued with the dark side. The assassin moved with deadly precision, and a fierce battle ensued.

Draconis engaged the assassin while Malgus used his mastery of the Force to shield them from the enemy's attacks. The battle was a relentless clash of lightsabers and dark side energies, but the assassin proved to be a formidable opponent.

As the battle raged on, Draconis noticed something peculiar—the assassin's strength seemed to be fueled by an unconventional source of power, different from the Sith's mastery of the dark side. It was a power that resonated with the ancient symbols in the temple.

With a final, calculated strike, Vexen managed to incapacitate the assassin. He stood over the fallen foe, his curiosity piqued. What is the Eternal Throne, and what is this power it's people wield?"

The assassin, weakened but defiant, spoke with a voice tinged with a chilling determination. "You know nothing of the true power, Sith. The Eternal Throne will bring about the galaxy's reckoning."

Malgus regarded the fallen assassin with a mixture of disdain and intrigue. "We will uncover your secrets, one way or another."

Their encounter with the assassin left more questions than answers. The mystery of the Eternal Throne deepened, and Draconis' doubts about his loyalty to the dark side resurfaced. The power they had witnessed was unlike anything they had encountered before, and it posed a grave threat to the Sith Empire and the Republic.

Back on the Abyssal Fury, Draconis and Malgus convened with the Sith Council to share their findings. The Council, comprised of powerful Sith Lords, debated the nature of the new threat. Some advocated for a preemptive strike, while others urged caution and further investigation.

As the discussions unfolded, Draconis found himself conflicted once again. He had sacrificed his past to become Darth Draconis, but the power of the Eternal Throne had awakened something within him—a yearning for knowledge and understanding beyond the confines of the Sith.

Malgus sensed his apprentice's internal struggle and spoke in a low, commanding voice. "Draconis, the path of the Sith is one of power and dominion. We must remain resolute."

Draconis nodded, torn between his loyalty to Malgus and the insatiable curiosity that burned within him. The Eternal Throne was a threat that could not be ignored, and their origins and power held the key to the galaxy's future.

The galaxy stood on the precipice of a new conflict, as the enigmatic organization known as the Eternal Throne began to reveal its true intentions. Draconis' journey had taken him from the darkness of his past to the heart of a growing storm, and the choices he would make would shape the destiny of the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic.
