(YN) had just finished his meditation for the day. It had been two days since Lenore took off his helmet. She continued visiting him and conversing. The two talked about the recent events that had occurred in their worlds. Lenore explained to him that the Vampire race was divided and in chaos after Dracula, their temporary leader, led an unpractical war on all of humanity and then got himself killed by his son, a magician, and a vampire hunter from a disgraced family. (YN) talked about how the Empire he served, ruled the galaxy for a good 20 something years before terrible planning and decisions caused its defeat at the hands of an insignificant rebellion. He had begun to feel more comfortable with her presence. No one had seen his face in years. Not even Palpatine asked him to remove it. That built a new measure of trust in (YN)'s eye.

He wondered why he was sent here in this dimension. What was Palpatine's plan? It angered him that he didn't know. He had mixed feelings about Palpatine. (YN) was grateful that Palpatine had trained him and given him the suit to hold back the affliction in exchange for a lifetime of service. But, (YN) still had reasons to hate his mentor. Palpatine never had tried to help improve his condition except for the suit.

The Sith Lord hated the suit as Vader hated his. The difference was that (YN) never got used to it to the point where it was an extension of himself like Vader. While (YN) hated the suit, it was a necessary evil. The pain it brought him fueled his connection to the dark side. Deep down, (YN) knew the truth. Palpatine had discarded him from beyond the grave. Using him as a test subject to see if interdimensional travel was survivable.

" What am I even going to do here? " (YN) thought. He had only developed partly a plan on how he was going to live here in this world. The plan was to gain a stable footing In Styria and go from there. Gaining Lenore's trust and information was the first part. The second part was not clear at all. (YN) felt his vision in the force was clouded. He searched for a reason why only to find himself at the center of it. The Sith Lord's mind had clouded his own vision. An emotion of some sort. (YN) dwelled on it for a bit then put it to rest. He sensed the sun going down. He sat down and leaned against the wall. His helmet was off.

" Hi (YN). " Lenore greeted. Her expression was happier than usual. " Greetings Lenore. " (YN) replied. " Why so happy today? " Lenore gestured for him to come closer. (YN) gave her a questioning look then got up and walked closer to the cell bars.
" We are going for a walk. " Lenore said. This earned a slight smile from the Sith Lord. " I've wanted to see more of the castle. " He said. Lenore unlocked the cell and opened the door for him. (YN) held his helmet under his right arm and stepped out. " No restraints? " He asked. " Why would I? " Lenore asked. " I trust you. Shall we? " She offered her right arm to him. (YN) raised an eyebrow. " Are you serious? " He asked. " Please? " Lenore asked with a cute pouty face. (YN) rolled his eyes. " Fine. " She locked arms with him as he used his free arm to slip on his helmet. They walked to the dungeon door. The guard looked surprised for obvious reasons then quickly opened the door.

(YN) looked at the courtyard. It was wide and had a large fountain/statue in the middle. His eyes then went up to the stars. " It's a beautiful night, isn't it Lord Cystrial? " The Sith was taken aback back by her use of his title but understood why. They were around others. " It certainly is. " (YN) replied. He studied her voice. It had become softer and more, enchanting. The two walked up to the balcony.  (YN) admired the view of the snowy mountains in the distance. Lenore unlocked her arm from him and stood to his close side. " Are you more of a night person? " Lenore asked. The Sith turned to face her. " Yes actually. " He replied. " You can't admire the beauty of the stars in sunlight. " Lenore leaned her head into his arm. " You don't get to stargaze often? " She asked. (YN) shook his head. " No, most of the time I'm fighting up there. " He said.

The two watched the stars together in silence. (YN) coughed into his helmet. " Please not right now. " He begged himself in his thoughts. The Sith pried his helmet off and coughed much harder into his glove. " Are you alright? " Lenore asked, definitely concerned. Her eyes widened as were she saw his gloved hand, covered in blood. (YN)'s began to stumble backward and fall. Lenore quickly moved behind and caught him. (YN) was drifting in and out of consciousness. " Get help! " She shouted. The guards rushed to the balcony. Lenore grabbed the Sith's helmet and put it on his head. She followed the guards as they carried him away.
