SWTOR: Short Legacy Stories (Zabrak Siblings Dimension)

The Shadow Warriors

Dromund Fels, in the Dromund star system

"Are you sure he will come?" Deimhos asked to his apprentice.

"Yes, master." Jaesa replied "He said he wanted to meet you face-to-face, and that this planet was the perfect place."

"It surely isn't the first place one would think of with this wheater" Deimhos ironicaly commented on the arid conditions of the planet.

"There he is." Jaesa said while pointing to a ship landing close to them.

The man that came out of the vehicle quickly reached the two and greeted them: "Jaesa. Lord Deimhos."

"Overseer Emmoridg" Deimhos said while offering his hand to the Overseer, who shook it. "It's an honor to finally meet you."

"Likewise, my Lord." Emmoridg replied.

"No need to call me that." Deimhos retorted "You can simply use "Deimhos"."

"Very well. Still, I'm glad you managed to come."

"Why did you want to meet us face-to-face by the way?"

"It's about recent events. The Dark Council made your confrontation with Darth Baras and your nomination as the Emperor's Wrath pubblically known."

"I didn't exactly have a say in the matter. Most of the times, my base of intel had come from Baras, and with him wanting me dead, I could only accept the Hand's offer."

"I know. But that is not what I wanted to talk about."

"What is it then? Does my new position compromise you?"

"No. Not exactly. Tell me: have you had any contact with the Emperor or the Hand since Baras's imprisonment?"

"No. Ever since the attack on Dromund Kaas from the Republic, the Emperor has fallen silent. Rumors across Kaas City claim he's dead, but the Hand claims the Jedi only destroyed his Voice and he's slowly recovering. Either way, I'm on my own now."

"And that is my concern. Whether the Emperor is truly recovering or the Hand is lying to keep some sort of power, you are now a target for every Sith that will want to make a power grab. That, and the chaos from Baras's fall has made your power base more unstable than ever."

"Why are you telling me this? Do you have some kind of recommendation?"

"Not exactly. If you'd follow me, there is a place you need to see."

The three then walked across the landscape, heading north.

After a few minutes, Overseer Emmoridg lead Deimhos and Jaesa into a cave.

"Why are we here, Overseer?" Jaesa asked.

"Wait a moment." Emmoridg replied.

After a while, two other Sith arrived: they were both wearing a hooded black cloak that covered their bodies. Once they were within reach, they lowered their hoods: one was a female Sith Pureblood, but with a skin color very similar to a Human's and bright blue eyes; the other was a female Miraluka with a veil covering most of her upper head. They seemed to be around age 35.

"Deimhos" Emmoridg said "These are two of my first pupils from the Academy: Lord Nefra" he pointed the Pureblood "and Lord Luce" he pointed the Miraluka.

"Greetings" Jaesa said while lowering her head.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Deimhos said.

"Likewise." the two women said simultaneously.

"They wanted to meet you, Lord Deimhos. They said it was for something important."
