Inumbrare in aeternum
Raien and Branwen had conquered fear thoroughly at Prakith at the tomb of Darth Andeddu, becoming it, which then became his aura and technique forever thereafter. The notion that fear would creep its way into his aura, met with him boring figurative holes through Serian with his masked eyes. Pride yes, pride he had yet to conquer, but fear was long gone, the insult was dismissed as chaff, because of his pride in the Sith code. That was the emotion coming off the man and that met his question. What Serian didn’t realise is that pride extended to him as well, else he would not have met him as family.
Pride that would yet be conquered here:
“Your insight. Your ability to see how and what a group of people are or are not, a pair of people, a situation, whatever is directly going on, and cut through to break it down into meaningful truth or falsehood. That is what made you a formidable Sith to stand with or against.” He saw wasted potential in Serian being anything but this. Another man might have put this a different way, talked about his traits as a scholar, his ability to move into any situation and not be defined by it, or his force power, but that was the core of Serian to Raien.
Serian was corrected to assume Raien had assumed all the things he had thought of, assumed because that was who he had lived as. The former Sith’s council and Dark Jedi order had asked much of him, and he had sacrificed much, that was what being a true Sith required in his eyes, after the decades of living that life.
Darth Surtr’s original posture hadn’t changed as they boarded the ship, it was still open to following his brother not because of words, the words and claiming that Serian had spoken were dismissed as easily as they were made. The bond of brotherhood however lasted beyond the ages, they had survived this far, how could anything change that?
Serian had his plans, but he would be woefully underestimating Surtr who had plans within plans, if he thought the man following him didn't have his own designs on where this meeting was going.
