Crimson Empire: End of an Age

She was waiting for Lord Zeta to speak about this option set before him. While the time ticked as a few moments had passed she could feel the darkness swirling around Vjun. He had returned, if not to the Darkside then atleast to the man she had married.

The skies turned black and clouds formed. Her meditation chamber had one window and she watched the events unfold. She said nothing to Zeta and wondered if he had even noticed.

"So he rises once more," the Zabrak said in a whisper, his face void of any emotion, allowing nothing of him to be given away.

So much to happen in one moment, but in the meditation chamber...time had stood still.

Too much on Zeta's mind, so much that he would not allow himself to speak for some time on what had brought him to Athena in the first place.

Silence was golden sometimes, but not here, not today. He would not gain the answers he was looking for through silence.

Zeta finally turned to look to Athena, his impassive eyes locking with hers.

"Who is he?"

...Time no longer stood still.

Finally the silence was broken.

Who is he?

She thought for a moment...

" He is Diete Somir, Lord Maim the Dark Lord of the Sith and Sith Priest. He has learned from master long dead. His age is longer then any knows of. And my Master. "

Athena never looked at Zeta she watched the force storms rise...

" Who do you want him to be? "

Zeta did not hesitate in speaking this time around.

"An equal..."

Even before the words could escape his lips, he could already hear and imagine the laughter within his own mind of those who would laugh at those few words.

There were those who were far more powerful than Zeta, even some less powerful than himself, yet for each, he always could see room to grow.

There was too much that the Dark Lord knew. Too little that Zeta knew.

Too little was not enough.

"He knows much, but there is little he takes the time to see and to notice..."

Everything has a beginning.

...Where one thing takes its start, somewhere else, something else evolves into something more.

"Does he remember his beginning?..."

" Indeed he does. He can tell you more of his beggings then you can more then likely remember of your own. "

Athena looked out at the force storms around Vjun now. She thought in silence to herself.

The Era set long ago there had never been a female higher then the rank or skill of a mere Witch within the Sith. Athena had changed that when she made the skill level of Sith Master. But she worked for such a right.

Now she sought out something more. Thankfully she knew just how to find it. Her brother in law was floating somewhere in the vastness of space. All she had to do was find him and intrap him. With Artums power and her own she would be just less then the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Athena looked down at the Blue Amulet that adorned her wrist. The stone matched the red one her beloved had given her on their dark union. Soon she would show that not only would a Man rule but behind every good man stood a powerful Lady.

"I should be gone by now..."

Zeta's gaze looked to the storm at last, wondering if he was to take such a storm as a warning.

He did not believe in running away, but if he had once been welcomed, only to become unwelcomed now, there was no use in staying.

He would wait, he still needed to hear from Malice.

Athena finally turned and looked at the Sith Lord before her.

" Is it wise to leave? Are you sure? I am sure you know that I didnt want the Sith to unit... But that is my personal matter to deal with. If you think TNSO can strive along with Maim then let me know. We can sit and talk here for hours. There is only two ways out. And I can tell you. My guard is at one of the exits. Malice will not and can not find you here. "

"I do not believe I have a choice in the matter. The Dark Lord will want us gone, the meeting, as you know, did not go well. No doubt the meeting got worse upon my departure from the council chambers...."

The Sith paused, contemplating, he then nodded to her.

"Our minds, they think alike.."

His eyes fell to the table, looking onto nothingness.

"...What do you purpose I do, Lady Athena?"

She looked at the Sith Lord.

" Can you not look at me? Look me in the eyes. This is a Meditation chamber use it. "

She stood back and left room for the Sith Lord to meditate soon the answers would come to him.

" He will listen to all you have to say...This I know. "

Slowly Zeta's eyes found their form onto Athena's presence, he looked her in the eyes.

He knew what must be done.

"Will you take me to him?"
