A Blossom in the Desert

[Lord Depravious]

"Names and titles do not matter to a Dragon Sith, and it doesn't matter what you call me in private; however, if you want something to call me in public and around other Sith who don't follow our ways, Lord Depravious is suitable."

The Sith Lord said, having leaned out from the entrancing kiss that they once again shared in complete darkness. It was truly special when you could find an individual that even without seeing them, nothing mattered it was entirely wrought with passion and connection to one another. Shaidin didn't plan on granting her a Lord name, for to him she wasn't just a lord but a priestess of his order - in a way he felt he could see her future through the force and how she would raise his order from the ashes.

There was an uncanny lust in the room though that Shaidin knew would only grow if something wasn't done about it; however, that level of emotion only sought to entrench them both in one another and the level of tension that arose from it would only cause a greater explosion at the time that it was released.

Depravious was nothing if not serious, and entirely dedicated to his Order - some over the years have called him a bloodthirsty monster, others over the years have called him a brutal conquerer - but what many failed to see was that he was an extremely intelligent man passionate though he was he knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted people to see him.

The Sith Lord after having spoken leaned in closely to her lips, knowing that even in the pitch black she could feel his breath, and with their now metaphysical connection thriving she could nearly feel his lips on hers again but instead - he began to speak in a soft low purr to her.

"In your dossier I read that you are a noble, even in control of a certain planet - but my intelligence couldn't gather what planet it was. Is it apart of the current Sith Empire?"

Ra gave him a simple nod at his answer. The fact titles meant nothing to the Dragon Sith said a bunch. To so many they did and to have it not matter here meant something. In private she would call him by his name and in public, Lord Depravious. His answer broke the kiss between them and that was all to be had for the moment. Her heart had started to slow down to something close to normal, but it was still fast.

The myriad emotions in the room coalesced into them both. They shared it all on a soul based, mental and physical level. She felt the mutual attraction, but right now it was pure lust. The hint of a new form of passion touched Ra. She had felt passion for her beliefs and ideals, but not what she knew could be felt between the two of them. When that happened, it wouldn't be in this room.

When he spoke again, he explained there was limited information to be found about her within his intelligence. Rather they were only able to find out more than she intended. Having thought she wiped the records of anything about herself beyond where she thought of as her home, she was genuinely surprised. His breath was on her, a tender caress on her lips.

"Yes, I have two locations I call home. Vjun where I reside in Bast Castle. The other location that you ask about is Helska IV. Three years ago the Dominion took Helska and we found an ancient Imperial facility there that can produce Dark Troopers. I arranged to have that facility repaired and the people that came to help and work there christened me their Baroness basically.
Neither planet is within The Sith Empire's boundaries, however Helska is on the fringe."

The current Dark Lord may not even know about what she could provide. Depravious was one of less than a handful of people that knew about Helska and she wanted it kept that way.

Shaidin listened to the planets that she currently held under her command and a simple smile rolled across his face. The truth was that Helksa IV while it posed an amazing way of bolstering an army - it was too close to Carnifex's territory and staying out of the view of Carnifex was something that Lord Depravious recognized as a need. While he realized that at the moment Lord Zambrano didn't care too much about the Sith Lords dealings and what he did - at some point when he grew strong enough and powerful enough it would attract the attention of a man like Carnifex. Most of all, while Shaidin was in no way fearful of the man, he did realize that the entirety of the Sith Empire had the ability to crush the Dragon Sith at the moment like a bug under their boot.

The highly acidic climate of Vjun held many purposes that the Dragon Sith could use to their advantage. Not only was Vjun rather out of the way of most other factions, but it held little to no resource potential for major factions like the Sith Empire and other darksided factions, making it perfect as a place to grow in number and strength.

"I must get off of Mygeeto and find my own foothold in space somewhere - Helska would be a great place if it wasn't so close to Carnifex's territory. Vjun seems like the perfect way of keeping our business dealings secret."

The Eternal Lord said, almost as if thinking to himself; however, he knew that thoughts like these were no longer a secret from a person like Ra and it wasn't something he cared to keep from her either way.

"Do you have any others that would join our cause?"

 

[Riamah]

He listened to her answer and Ra could tell he approved of what she said. In a way, she could read his thoughts. It was something she would need to get used to. That would come in time though. Shaidin weighed the pros and cons of each location in his mind, the ones she had done before herself as well. There were a few reasons she picked Vjun as her home.

One was that wasn't a frozen wasteland with nothing of value. Another was there was already a home built there. The most important reason she picked Vjun as her home however was that it was in fully neutral territory. Nowhere near the influence of any one faction. That home was Bast Castle and she had turned it in her home since she was granted it. Her days with the Dominion were when she didn't have the knowledge of what she was. Only near the end of their time did she learn. That was when she had finally been appointed as head of the intelligence along with Anya Malvern. The two of them worked together and when the Dominion fell, they destroyed what they knew.

Ra had maintained what intelligence connections she could. Prior to today though, this lord had laid under their radar. Knowing now what he wanted, she knew what she offered was almost priceless. However, that facility was too close to sith territory for her comfort. She too had rested under the radar of the intelligence Carnifex had. Building up a small army of her own and keeping it there.

Shaidan said he needed to get off Mygeeto. Once on Vjun he could conduct any dealings he had in secret, build up a powerbase. She herself had started to build up a few around her back when she was with the Dominion. While the timing was poor then, she could see the benefit of striking up those acquaintances again and seeing if they could still be counted on as supporting her.

"There is a possibility I can ask the few that offered support to me before."

They still stood in the pitch black room. The ever present power a hum in the background, but Ra knew now what caused that. She had to close her eyes for a moment and push back that lust she still felt for him.

The lust in the air of the completely pitch-black room was almost inescapable, Shaidin seemed to physically struggle to hold himself back from her. Every motion of his body, every breath seemed all the more enticed into her.

He gave a simple grunt to her reply having already known quite a lot about the situation and in his own mind made the decision that Vjun would be the best place for him to pick up and move to - out of the view of Darth Carnifex.

For now though it was time for them to get out of this stuffy room, the lust between the two was nearly palpable at this time and if they stayed with their bodies interlocked any longer Shaidin wouldn't be able to hold back his urges and impulses any longer.

"Let's go to Bast Castle then, I will have those loyal to me begin moving everything to Vjun so we can continue working there, and you will have the Library at your full disposal in your own home."

 

[Riamah]

There was no letting up of the lust shared by both of them. Shaidin would know what to do with it, Ra did not. She just knew this was the first that she never felt this. With him now knowing about her he would know this information. Her eyes almost glowed with the emotion. However business first and his simple grunt was answer enough when it came to Vjun.

They both knew it would be best to move the Dragon Sith there. Out of the Empire's cloud of influence and away from the Valkyries grounds.

Their physical proximity was driving her nuts and she knew if they didn't move soon any sense of control would be lost. His words brought her back to reality and not the thoughts surrounding what she felt.

"Of course, I am pleased beyond anything you have granted me this."

This also meant they could be together there. While setting up his base, she would welcome him and desperately needed him.
