Darth Plagueis

  Palpatine looked at the ground as if it had disappeared. He and his master were attempting to access a sith temple when suddenly the ground beneath them shook. Palpatine was 25 years old and it had been 9 years since he had become Plagueis's apprentice. Palpatine felt as if he could rush into the dark seclusive temple and find every secret. But every time he gained confidence his master would soon tear it down to keep control over him. With the holocron, which was a crystal of hidden secrets, Palpatine and Plagueis could become more powerful. ¨ We'll need to access the temple from the underground entrance¨ said Plagueis, ¨Then we could avoid most of the hidden traps¨. ¨Whatever you say master.¨ said Palpatine sarcastically. Palpatine soon lost his breath as he was hurdled across the desert ground. He couldn't hear Plagueis but he already knew that he spoke in an inappropriate tone. He learned a lot from his master and knew he could surpass him but he never seemed able to beat his older sith master. As he got up, they both entered the temple from the underground entrance. The foul smells of dead bodies and their failure to reach the temple plugged the sith's noses as they coughed and rushed their way into the main temple hallway. They entered into a small room where they could see a figure. Plagueis and Sidious had come to a halt when they saw it. "Who are you ?" said Sidious as he motioned his hand toward his crimson light saber. The figure spoke and said " I am the overseer of this fine temple here and you two, like thousands of others, are attempting to access information that is not here". Plagueis hesitated. " We are sith like yourself " he said. "But we won't hesitate to... remove you if necessary, now let us through". " YOU ARE FOOLISH OLD MAN" boomed the figure. He quickly removed himself from seclusion and revealed his ragged body. He wore a tattered cloak with the corellian emblem and appeared to be human. His hand flashed a light saber that glowed bright purple.
