The victory over the Eternal Throne had strengthened Darth Draconis' resolve, cementing his loyalty to Darth Malgus and the Sith Empire. Yet, as he returned to the Abyssal Fury, a lingering unease gnawed at him. The dark side's whispers had grown louder, more insistent, and his thoughts were plagued by visions of power and temptation.

One fateful night, as Draconis meditated in the dimly lit chambers of the Sith flagship, a presence unlike any other descended upon him. A shadowy figure, cloaked in darkness, emerged from the recesses of his mind—a presence that had haunted him before.

It was Valkorion, the enigmatic Emperor of the Eternal Throne, whose power was unrivaled. His voice echoed in Vexen's mind, its tone seductive and commanding. "Darth Draconis, you have tasted the power of the dark side, but it pales in comparison to what the Eternal Thrones can offer."

Vexen's cybernetic form tensed as the visions unfolded before him. He saw a galaxy under the rule of the Eternal Throne, a dominion where the Sith Empire and the Republic had been vanquished, and Valkorion stood as the supreme ruler.

The power of the Eternal Thrones was overwhelming—Sith sorcery and dark side abilities beyond imagination, their might unchallenged. Draconis saw himself at Valkorion's side, anointed with unimaginable power, a key figure in the new order.

The allure of this vision was undeniable. Draconis had been driven by a thirst for power, and the vision promised him the ultimate expression of that desire. The doubts that had plagued him for so long seemed inconsequential in the face of such power.

Valkorion's voice continued, weaving a seductive tapestry of temptation. "Darth Draconis, your loyalty to the Sith Empire has its limits. With the Eternal Thrones, you could become more than a mere apprentice. You could become a Force God."

Draconis' inner turmoil raged, torn between his loyalty to Malgus and the intoxicating promise of the Eternal Thrones. He had sacrificed his past, embraced the dark side, and served the Sith faithfully. But the vision offered him a future beyond anything he had ever imagined.

As Draconis struggled to find his resolve, the dark presence of Valkorion pressed upon him. "Make your choice, Sith. The power of the Eternal Throne awaits. Join us, and together, we will reshape the galaxy."

The room was shrouded in silence as Draconis grappled with the weight of his decision. The visions had cast a veil of temptation over his mind, obscuring the path he should follow. The eternal struggle between light and dark, loyalty and ambition, raged within him.

Darth Draconiss stands on the precipice of a monumental decision—one that could reshape the fate of the galaxy. Will he remain loyal to Darth Malgus and the Sith Empire, or will the allure of the Eternal Thrones' power prove too tempting to resist? The answer remains uncertain, as Draconis stands at the brink of a choice that could tip the balance of power in the galaxy.
