「Act 42: Knowing the path」

She never forgot that day. She had arrived in Eanor, knowing nothing about the real world. The din of battle and the smell of decay were the first things she noted. The one called King had brought this land to its ruins. There was a whole desperate struggle. She didn't notice then, but now in her memories, the scents and sound were clear; the smell of rotten weeds and dead things mingling with blood and sweat.

The planet was slowly dying, and Eanor was calling for help. The darkness had reached out to everything and everyone and crushed all hope. Some tried to fight back against Delkor, but the first lines were swept away in the enemies' rush. Those few who were loyal to the true King of Eanor were slaughtered. The second line falls soon. It only held just enough to make a stand but failed soon after.

Their attack against the new darkness that Derkol brought failed, and with it failed their plans. She wasn't there when the war started; with her arrival, the war had already finished. But she heard the stories; Delkor, her master, would narrate her through the wars and battles. Tell her how many men were cut down bearing the old Kingdom's banner, and his men would rise a new whenever an old fell. Until the last one of the King's men fell. No one remained fighting.

Delkor and his men stood alone. Back then, they were less in number; now, he has slowly poisoned every living thing, dragged it into the darkness, and slowly changed it into a beast or monster. The forests aren't as green as they used to be; a shadow fell upon them. The running waters had stirred, and life was slowly gone. Unknown creatures appeared and hunted the forests and mountains.

The villages were turned to ashes, and the people who lived there became his soldiers of darkness. Few testimonies that could be found in Derkol castle explained the fate of Eanor and its people and those who had not escaped. There were also tales of the new king and his fate on Eanor and towards the nearby planets.

In this short time, he lived in the North Unknown Regions; he was trying to unite the nearby planets. He was raised in the northern parts with only his dark powers and a fleet available in Eanor. And he drew and drew from the darkness wanting to conquer any worlds available to him.

But his power was limited. Because the darkness he was seeking couldn't be found in the world around him. He needed to draw it from another darkness, from the Black Stone, and until now, he couldn't find its location. Palpatine tricked him years ago when he sent the clone to him without any information about the Sith's Soulstone.

And there was one more thing that had trapped him from unleashing his cruelty in the known Galaxy; he couldn't escape from the North Unknown Regions. Although once he had found his way and hid there, now his ways were cut and sealed.

Delkor wasn't different from the previous Sith Lords, he wanted unlimited power, and after he would obtain it, he would destroy everything in his reach. His ways were dark, and his plans malicious. If he somehow managed to rise to his full potential, he would burn and ruin anything in his passing.

Dark Rey was different. Indeed Derkol had taught her wise. For him, it seemed like the perfect tool to stand next to him. And she accepted that role, she learned, she was so hungry to collect all the knowledge he offered her.

From how to bend the Force to her will, to how to will a double lightsaber. She slowly understood how the Force worked, and Derkol's lessons gave her even the ability to travel through the galaxy as the years passed. However, it drained her power easily. It brought her near death when she projected herself into Kef Bir moon of Endor and faced Rey. But it was worth it.
