Via Dolorosa
Amans In Tenebris
Lies. Half-truths. Confusion. Inner struggles. Those seemed to be the norm of late. A person that was gifted with the Force thought they were powerful over a non-user of the gift. Add in the nature of the Darkside and they believed they were Sith. How foolish of them to believe their own fabrications? Truth. Truth was the only thing that defined the difference between ignorance and death. Shame.
But alas, every dark cloud held a shining moment. Even if it flickered on and off like a dying lightbulb. One only needed to look at the bigger picture, and see the truth of what truth was. Pointe in case, look at the Sith. Everyone, mainly the lesser on the lower rungs of the food chain, wanted to capture the eye of a true predator and claw their way out of the cess pit they called life. However, most met a fate that resulted in two possibilities. Death, that was simple. The other was not so, a life of servitude that bore the strings of commitment.
For Darth Venefica, all names of madness apply, there was something more she sought. Wanted. Craved. She didn't want a slave, that title stood for everything she stood against, but someone or something that she could rely upon. Count on. Trust. Kill if it betrayed her. However, a slave was only a slave if they were never educated properly. She sought an extension of herself.
A Right Hand.
Or Left Hand.
Or Both.
Perception is everything, too.
So it came as no surprise as what she was looking for. 'Do as I say...when I say...and no questions asked.'
What she needed was an extension of herself to carry out the 'behind the scenes' activities. She wanted a pupil she didn't need to raise, but a pupil that had pledged themselves to her....or die for her. But even a pupil needed guidance. Learning. Lessons. Know right from wrong. And most of all, the ability to fight and die for her.
