Darth Cryptis
Location: Upper Chambers of the Tomb of a Forgotten Sith Lord

The tomb was dark and silent. The whirring of the wind from the sandstorm outside, and the clanking of my metal feet on the sandstone floor, made for the only sounds picked up by my auditory receptors. For how derelect this tomb was, and the history I observed transpiring on my homeworld from my perch in the outer dark of the galaxy, I found that suspicious. Not to mention, there was a group of Sith that have claimed this world once more in the name of its ancient heritage and its leader. The modern Sith puzzled me. They were powerful, most of them at least, but prone to great decadence. Then my long memory reminded me how that was the case for a fair number of the Lords from the time I was still of flesh, blood, and bone. Back when this tomb was guarded all hours of the night and day, as well as others like it. Back when the Sith struck fear into the hearts of the galaxy for the first time.
My occular sensors made the shadows peel away. Becoming mechanical left a strong change in my thoughts and wants. When one no longer requires food, water, and as much slumber, other needs seem to fill the void. My time of watching the galaxy like the ancient operas of the past has left me bored. I needed more to fill this void in my mind, and this hunger of my spirit. My home was safely hidden in the space between the systems neighboring that of my homeworld. I then used a small fighter to slip my way into the atmosphere with minimal detection. I would have to be swift and stealthy as to not be truly noticed. However, despite my slight bit of haste, I still managed to observe my surroundings in great detail. My mind memory systems were active in putting together a map of sorts as to find my way back out of this place when my business here was done.
I continued down the corridor, with the darkness ever closing in. The only light came from that of my chassis and eyes, which glew its bright red. It was a strange thing to ponder, the fact I could see my very soul present in the physical realm. I have gotten used to it thousands of years ago, but it was still an interesting avenue of thinking. It was not unusual for my mind to return to old ponderings even after I solveed them. What else was I to do with hardly any contact with the galaxy that came after my time? Who knew I was to become a philosopher when I became a Lord of the Sith?, I humorously thought to myself. It was then my stream of consciousness came to that of the Sith of today. They were all like children to me. They were all the ages that could be my distant lineage, if I ever actually produced any to carry on my line. They acted like children at times too. Three of them claim the lofty titile of Sith'ari. Fools, are what I would call them. In my time, there were no such thing, as we knew it would be disputed. What happened to powerful Sith Lords having the title of Dark Lord and Emperor being the most respected and high? Truly, they were all children, if such titles were not enough for their fleeting little minds.
The laborynthine path continued on. It was clear this place has been picked clean of much relics and treasures by the galaxy's vultures. However, it was not treasures of wealth I am after here in these dark tunnels. It was knowledge that I came here for, though a physical relic will also be nice to have in my archives. My staff clinked while my feet clanked, and the echoes surrounded me. The wind outside was quieter. I doubted that was a storm losing its intensity. That was because I was going the right direction to what I was seeking. If my predictions were right, it may only be a dissent down some stairs, and a few turns in the lower levels, to find the catalogue of this Lord. His or her name seems to be a missed part of my historical records. Likely someone from my time juding by the erosion at the doorway to this ancient tomb, yet expunged by their successor due to many glyphs being erased along the corrdiors here. Such was the way, it seems. My people did enjoy the prospect of erasing their enemies. How ironic that I was the one to counteract the deeds of my past rivals. How more ironic that I, the exiled Lord, be the one to outlive them all.
