Meeting a Prophet

[Judas Zambrano]

Standing in the ruins of a village on the planet Rysil II, all around rubble from the past village lay strewn across the ground. The one he was meeting was seeming to make quite the ruckus and Romeo wasn't helping the situation at all so Judas decided to step in. There was no need for the two political powers to go to war over one members mistakes, it would be a foolhardy mistake on both sides. One that would cost them dearly. It would be a pointless waste of lives and funds to go to war. Something that Judas planned on explaining to the women.

The whole area was empty except for Judas as picked specifically by [member="Anja Aj'Rou"] . Judas wore a gray suit today with a black undershirt and gray tie that was neatly tucked inside the jacket. His hair was neatly combed over as always so the only eye that was visible was his scarred one. He carried no weapons on him as a sign of respect to his guest and hoped his guest would consider such things when she came. It showed that Judas wanted nothing more then to talk. This planet made him sick, the rubble and how the village had been devastated. This planet could be so much more but it aspired to nothing.

Over head a fleet assembled and from one of the ships a gu-42 dropship descended; escorted by two gu-20 fighters, the dropship landed as the fighters slowly pulled up overhead and maintained a steady circle like two vultures circling their prey.

The ship opened up from the rear, and from it twently Sephi warriors escorted Anja Aj'Rou to the meeting point, they stopped just a few meters behind her as she walked up to the man standing before her.

Normally she wouldn't be open to such things but this 'Romeo Sin', someone she didn't even know by name had escaped their clutches twice in very one-sided battles. She had no interest in killing whoever they sent to her in an attempt to get diplomatic. She stopped just a few feet before her, wearing her usual armored garments that seemed to be more protective around the torso than the arms or legs, easily agile but not entirely durable.

Her piercing eyes gazed towards him but she did not say a word.

The breeze picked up causing the bangs before Judas' eye to fly behind him for a second giving the women a brief glimpse at it before the bang fell back in place. Looking up he saw the dropship and the two starfighters descend to the planet but still retained his calm demeanor though he was slightly disappointed that the women seemed to lack the same courtesy he did. He had came unarmed while she brought a whole fleet what was this women exactly? Is this how she really did negotiations or did she just want to kill Judas. Either way it goes Judas was prepared, his personal command ship was in orbit if he needed a distraction, and he had a few surprises for when things went south. The beauty of preparation and showing up early almost always payed off.

As the Selpi warriors and [member="Anja Aj'Rou"] exited the dropship Judas took count of the twenty soldiers sizing them up. Best to have a estimate what people where capable of if things went south. Even after the womens approach she said nothing which left Judas to take the wheel. "Hello mam. It is a pleasure to meet one with such as yourself." Judas said slightly incling his head towards her as a sign of respect. "I'm sure you have other things to do, so let's just get this on the road. Shall we?" Judas asked.

"We the Shadow Dynasty would like to apologize for the actions of Romeo Sin, and even hope that you can forgive his transactions."

Anja had very little concept of the name 'Romeo Sin' or 'The Shadow Dynasty'

"You're wasting words.", she said. "I know nothing of which you speak and if you're for ulterior motives, I trust you to understand that it is meaningless.", she added.

She had very little interaction with the outside world except during her musings with the One Sith and Titan Industries. Her eyes stayed in place; continuing its emotionless gaze outward.

The Sephi stayed put quietly; they were well trained and disciplined -- a new venture undertaken by herself personally. Rather than having the Gulandi run amok she trained them instead, the corrupted dark-sided Sephi were valuable troops and made up the bulwark of her armies, carrying blades and vong-like weapons.

Judas simply shook his head releasing a small chuckle as the women spoke, just what had he gotten himself into. Was this women playing ignorant or was it how she truly was. "Trust me I am not wasting my words. You do know who Romeo is. The man that I work to protect, who's mistakes I fix. The man that escaped you not once but twice. That is Romeo. The Shadow King as he likes being called for some reason. But what we want is peace between The Shadow Dynasty and the Primevil. We are basically neighboring powers, and this is a preemptive measure to ensure we don't go to war with each other. In return for this peace, you will have me and my agents services personally if you can in return provide with assistance in some of our future endeavors." Judas said to the women not willing to waste anymore time trying to be polite or corteous. She seemed to have no inclination towards it so Judas no longer had to keep up the facade.

Her eyes adjusted slightly -- almost as if they were narrowing without doing so. "I don't know who you are or who you think I am: I came here because I had hopes that my time wouldn't be wasted.", she said. Her tone of voice had not changed the entire time; it was neither calm nor angry, simply in between. Although her tone did not change her patience did. She had no interest in this discussion but she did understand whom he meant. He was talking about the one she had skirmished with recently in an attempt to 'conduct peace' just like the man before her was doing now.

"Your wars, your wealth, your power. It's of no concern to me. I have no need for such things and whatever matter of 'peace' you seek, you can have it by staying out of my way.", she added.

"I have no interest in bargains. I have no interest in affairs. If whomever you're protecting is at risk with me, then simply tell them to avoid me.", she completely left out The Primeval. She did not get personal very often but she was obviously quite offended by his statement.

The Host Lord turned around and paced towards her troops.

Negotiations had seemed to be breaking down Judas had not meant to offend the women but it just seemed as if she went over the deep end for no true reason. Did she not know how to play the game of politics? Had she lost her way, had he done something wrong. Tons of questions flew through his mind and very few answers remained. The women spoke of herself, but said nothing of what the faction may need, what it may want. She had begun to focus on herself, something that Judas had caught on to. Watching her walk away he simply shook his head before speaking out taking one last chance to get some relevance of stability and create a relationship between the Primevil and Shadow Dynasty. This is not a waste of time, these are not my wars. These are the galaxies wars! You speak of what you don't need, but what about your faction? Huh your people? How many do you truly number hmm? Do you have all the power you truly need? I am offering you soldiers, funding in your endeavors, and all I ask for in return is peace between our factions. Is that truly a waste of words?" Judas asked the women while she walked away. All this said in his calm demeanor. Straightening his tie he simply shook his head hoping that she saw what he was offering. A relationship between the two would be beneficial on both ends.

The Host Lord turned around at the end of his statement.

"You misunderstand me. It is a courtesy that I'm here and an even greater one that I didn't betray your 'neutrality' as you might put it. My leaving is sparing your life and nothing less; you can tell your master that if he wishes to have peace then they must pay tribute to us. I might even invoke the sixth doctrine and declare him a Warlord if they're willing to concede.", she said.

Her feet were ready to turn back to her ship as soon as he spoke.

This time Judas actually laughed at the womens words. She wanted them to concede to the Primeval? That just wasn't going to happen. Not today, tomorrow, or even a year from now. The Shadow Dynasty would never be beneath another powers thumb. Judas simply looked at the women before grabbing his jacket and straightening it. "If that is truly how you feel I think peace maybe a bit out of both of our reaches. This saddens me as the Shadow Dynasty and Primeval could've been quite powerful together." Judas said before turning away and beginning to walk away not even a ounce of anger flowing from him. The negotiations hadn't went as planned but he had learned all he needed to about them from that short encounter. Then he stopped before turning and giving some last parting words. "Oh and we'll never concede to the likes of you. We shall fight till the last breathing man. We don't care whether you destroy our planets, kill our allies, or even the King, but we will never bow to you." Those were Judas' last words as he walked away at a calm pace no fear of being shot or stabbed in the back. Oh how he couldn't wait to see the women on the battlefield.
