Darkness Lord (Closed)

[Mayu]

Many people feared and hated the Siths, there was very few that hated the Jedi but now there is one that has a dark heart. One that has been starting for a long time. Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one people call him, he is powerful and perfect. There was only one person he could call friend, was his best friend, her name was grace. She was a young girl, only 18 of age, her brown eyes gentle and her brown hair always out of her face. She watched Anakin practice with his master Obi. Once they finished practice she saw him walking over to her, she knew that there was something changed about him. His long hair perfect but his eyes empty it looked.

"Hello Anakin" She spoke softly but with respect, she was there through everything even when he lost his hand, he was strong through it all. Thing was, Grace loved him but she didn't say anything afraid he would reject her. She walked beside him as they always had there afternoon walks, she looked over at him sweetly.

"Is everything ok my friend?"

 

[Demos Straxus]

Anakin walked slowly past her, his thoughts trained inwards, giving her a hesitant look of consideration before he at last spoke.

"I'm just tired Grace. Obi-Wan and I managed to save the chancellor.....but it all seems to be for nothing. Grievious has gotten away, and now the jedi council has asked for me to spy on palpatine. My Friend. They're asking me to betray the very principles I've worked so hard for."

 

[Mayu]

Grace smiled as she listened "Sounds like they think he is a sith, I get the feeling they maybe right, but who knows" She sighed a bit looking into his eyes then forward. "Ive felt something different within you Anakin, is everything ok with you?" Grace began to wonder what he felt about the Jedi, why was the feeling he wanted much more then a Jedi was, she shrugged it off.

 

[Demos Straxus]

"No.." The response is slow in coming, Anakin hiding some traces of hesitation before at last responding, his voice kept under careful control this time.

"I had another vision. I see Padme dying...And theres nothing I can do to stop it. For all the power I have......it isn't enough. I can't save the ones I love the most."

 

[Mayu]

She looked at him "Anakin what if there is more then just her dying, ive seen the same thing but ive seen more into it" She said softly placing her hand on his shoulder. She hated the fact he liked Padme she never had a shot at least she thought that, looking into his eyes. " but it is something I know you wish not to hear"

 

[Demos Straxus]

Ani turned to her, a deep frown furrowing his features and making him quite forboding as he moved towards her, darkness seeming to shroud the hallways as he spoke, dark words upon his lips.

"What have you Seen?"

 

[Mayu]

She looked at him "Ive seen you fighting Obi Wan, he takes your limbs and the sith lord comes, I am there by your side as they rebuild you into Darth Vader, Padme gives birth to your baby girl and boy but she dies later on. She does of a broken heart because you have become a Sith instead of a Jedi "

 

[Demos Straxus]

"What?!" The shock is elemental. Pure outrage mixed with disbelief, and a small ammount of outrage. What she says is insane......impossible. But...he can feel it. The truth in the words. They echo in the force, and he can hear that they ring true.

Vader.

He has never heard the word. Has no notion from where it came.......yet he knows it. Feels the power of it. The way that it draws him in. Controls him.

He stares into Grace's eyes, asking a silent questions before the one important one. The only one that matters comes to his lips.

"How can I stop this?"

 

[Mayu]

She heard the outrage but never lied to him she had no reason to lie to him "Only way is to keep Padme on your side, to keep your humanity and to kill Palpatine for he is the sith leader, I have no proof he is but I know he is" She said kindly "I would never say such a thing if I didn't honestly believe what I say, I know what I say angers you Ani but ive never lied to you or betrayed you"

 

[Demos Straxus]

He nodded slowly, feeling the ring of truth to her words, and knowing that they were true. If he loved Padme........he must kill Palpatine. The thought filled him with dread. To kill his mentor.....to do such a thing....there would be no going back. If he died, than Anakin would take his place. Become lord of the sith...chancellor of the republic....no. Not chancellor. There had been enough of such nonense. He would become the Emperor.

"I shall do it."

Reaching out, he softly touched her on the cheek, and then turned, moving down the hallway to face his destiny. To change it.

 

[Mayu]

She watched Anakin kill the emperor and she watched how powerful he became, but she was always there, even there when Padme betrayed him, she stood by his side when he made the hard choice to kill her, now all that Anakin seemed to have was his people but the only woman who had never betrayed him was there, she placed her hand on his shoulder. She was the only one that dared call him his name.

"Anakin will you be ok?"

 

[Demos Straxus]

Her response was a dark chuckle. Amusement at the absurdity of the question. Lord Vader, as he was now called, had destroyed the jedi, killed the Sith, and seized control of the Senate. At his direction the seppertists had been wiped out, and order had been restored to the galaxy. His galaxy. Now there was only the empire......

In short he was no where near allright.

He stood with his back to her, staring out into the stars as he had often done with Palpatine, contemplating all that was before him. All that was his. When he turned to face his, his eyes were dark. Intense.

"I am fine. What do you desire Grace?"

 

[Mayu]

She looked at him "Im sorry I need to get out of the habit of calling you Anakin my lord" She said softly. "All ive ever desired is for you to be happy, we have been through a lot and our trust has been tested many times and yet I never seem to disappoint at least I hope since your one to be always truthful" She looked down "What will you do now with Padme? If it pleases you I could get your children from the Jedi and I could help you raise them so they wont ever question you" She hoped her words didn't anger him.

"Id be willing to do anything for your my lord you know that"

 

[Demos Straxus]

"The Jedi and she are no longer a problem."

The response is flat. Deadly. The words carry with them a weight that is beyond sadness as any one ma can know it. What he has done is the geneocide of a complete order, of the woman he loved. Gone now. Destroyed.

"My Empire cannot accept treason, and cannot make exceptions. She and the jedi broke with me in thei treacherous attempt as a coup. They were dealt with accordingly."

 

[Mayu]

Grace looked at him hearing his tone, no emotion except maybe some anger, looking into his eyes she sighed a bit. "I know my lord" She said softly. "Thats why those who are smart do not try and betray you, such as I, I contuined to be your loyal friend" She looked out seeing the scene before her.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

 

[Demos Straxus]

Anakin nodded, keeping his back to her as he considered her request. A dark part of him....the darkest corne of his soul felt the pangs of desire ignite within him. It had been monthes since his last time with Padme.....even before her betrayel she had turned him away from her door. For a jedi such things were a minor issue, one that contemplation and resolve could mend......for a sith they were fire in his skin. Burning at him. He turned then, facing her briefly. Considering her as his friend, and knowing that he did not wish her harm.

"What I desire is too burning for you to sate. Leave me."

 

[Mayu]

Grace looked at him and nodded she didn't want to leave him but she always did what he asked and never questioned it. "As you wish my lord" She said softly placing her hand on his shoulder "My offer will always stand for you, if you ever need anything that I would do anything, I will be in my chambers" She placed her hand on his shoulder and went to her chambers to lay down and think.

 

[Demos Straxus]

Anakin stood facing the window then, considering the depths of space beyond, and his own place within them. Without exception, each thought that entered his mind turned to her. Daydreams of rapture, lust, and love. Of control, and passion. Dreams of fire, and heat. Unbeknownst to him, his feelings were transmitted through the force, touching with great power Grace, sleeping several decks below. Compelling her with almost supernatural force to seek him out once more.

 

[Mayu]

She had a bad dream seeing a man in total black, from head to town, she didn't understand these dreams but it terrified. She sat up fast and woke panting heavily. She got up and left her room to go check on Anakin a vision came to her head and they were always right. She went to where he was before and stood in the door way for a moment she didn't want to disturb him, her visions were enough to really scare her.

"I had the visions again" She said.

 

[Demos Straxus]

He turned to face her, a frown creasing his features as he looked upon her. Something dark simmering in his eyes.

"What have you forseen?"

 

[Mayu]

She slowly walked up to him "Its one of your warriors they are plotting against you, I have not seen his face but ive heard his voice" She looked down shaking the image from her head "We must find him and kill him before he does what ive seen him do to you"

 

[Demos Straxus]

Anakin considered her statement carefully, considering it with care before speaking.

"Its no concern. He will reveal himself in time, and then he will die. Like the others before him."

Moving from the window, he strode before her, gazing down at her with consideration.

"I do need you for something else though..."

He did not speak what he needed from her, but then he did not have to. The desire was clear on his face.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled at him she knew what he wanted in his eyes something deep within him needed her. She didn't know what else to do, she knew where she wanted. "Why don't we go some place more private or do you wish to stay in this room, while peeking eyes see what there great lord is up to" She had a high respect in her voice as she bowed her head.

 

[Demos Straxus]

He nodded, gesturing for her to follow him, as he went out into the long cooridor, going to a particular place he had in mind....Away from the hustle and bustle of the stardestroyer, and in one of the science labs. To the astro navigation area, with its array of high powered holographic transmitters, casting into the air images of the stars floating about them.

Vader took in the room for a moment, enjoying as always the simple pleasure of stargazing, and then gestured to the doors, locking them securely from intrustion. Another gesture disabled the security systems.

They were alone.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled as she walked silently beside him, she looked at him not saying a word and finally when they got into the room she admired it, it was then she looked into his eyes. Her hands rested on his chest, looking into his eyes, they were so cold, but she hoped for her they would change, she leaned in and smiled happily she kissed him on the lips as her hand slid down into his robes and buried in his clothing as she found his manhood finally and began to stroke him.
