The entire banquet hall was charged with electricity. Darth Azurea craned her neck in order to see the proceedings, but it was difficult from where she sat. She tried to concentrate on the rather quaint and romantic ceremony, but the whole time she could feel a humming tension radiating from Darth Pyrrhus. To the casual observer, they appeared like an ordinary, relaxed couple (as ordinary as two Sith Knights could be), but Azurea could tell his entire body was like a coiled spring right now, muscles poised and ready. She felt certain something strange was about to happen.
As the newlyweds moved to the dance floor, Darth Azurea heard footfalls from guards. Thinking they were just part of a ceremony, she thought nothing of it until a strong, hand clasped hers and gently ushered her out of her seat. “Shall we dance, my dear?”
“Of course…” she answered, trailing off as she could see that a coup attempt was taking place. She snapped her mouth shut and watched Darth Pyrrhus’s handsome red and white striped face, focusing not on the carnage around her, but on his unwavering gaze. She felt as if the minute her eyes wandered off of his familiar visage, she may just begin to lose her gracefulness.
And when the Togruta Knight, and soon-to-be ruler of Glee Anselm, wanted to dance with you, you didn’t say no.
As they stood in the middle of the banquet hall, everything in the background faded away. Similar to his sparring style, Darth Pyrrhus also appeared to be an exquisite dancer. He must have hid those lessons well from her, just for this very occasion. She lifted her blue eyes to his purple ones, pursing her lips into a cunning smile. As always, she welcomed the feel of his body against her, a satisfying reminder that she chose her life as a Sith, like Tanek. And that there was no other choice. Peace was indeed a lie.
Passion, strength, power. That was all that mattered.
As he finished, letting her know that the galaxy was theirs for the taking, he dipped her backwards, hand wrapped around her hour-glass waist. She finally said, still gazing up at him: “Eros and Thanatos are not a paradox. They are one and the same. Love and death are intermingled.” And as he brought her back to her feet, she gave him a passionate kiss with her ruby lips, letting him know all at once that she loved him, but would also die for him if the occasion required her to do so.
