Via Dolorosa
Amans In Tenebris
For the past two weeks the Sith Lady had viewed holofootage, read dossiers, and conducted personal interviews of various candidates to fill two positions she sorely craved, personal bodyguards she called them. Others would perceive them as henchmen. Whatever title they went by, they would serve her well. She had made it clear at the onset that she was looking for two people with a unique and nasty disposition toward anything and everyone, minus her of course. Unfortunately, every candidate failed to meet her expectations.
She slammed her first on the desktop in anger. She took a deep breath and stood up. She needed to get out of this building here on Coruscant and rethink her strategy. As she walked through the streets, the day giving over to night, she pondered to herself where she went wrong. Then she realized it wasn't in her ideas that had failed her but the scum that had answered the call.
Most of those that she dealt with were seeking revenge for one thing or another, some were overconfident in their own skills, and still others couldn't follow basic orders when she tested them in a simulation field. They were all hopeless! For a brief moment she thought about just shipping them off to work in the labour camps to spare the galaxy of their incompetence.
As she walked, she closed her eyes and allowed the Force to guide her. Trust in the Force, she told herself. If there was someone out there capable of handling the heavy load of what she was asking of them, then the Force would show here. If worse came to worse, she could always snatch up a prisoner from the Coruscant prison and educate him or her. But then again, she didn't want a mindless sod at her side.
