Prisoner of Fate

[Adron Malvern]

Crossing his arms over his chest he listened to the man's acceptance.

"Very well." He turned his attention back to Ra'a'mah. "Let me take him to Blackgate Manor for a bit. I could use someone to help around the place anyway. After all Anya's going to be very busy for a while." He glanced back to the Miralukan, arching a brow at him once again when he saw him making an attempt to hug Ra. "Hopefully we can at least find out what's wrong, if not fix it."

Passing the duo he made his way to the fireplace, staring into the flame for a moment before turning back to Ra. "Speaking of Anya. I have a proposition with you. I'm expanding the agents under my direct command. Specialized Force User super soldiers. Agents, assassin's, spies, you name it."

The Count parted his cloak to produce a small datapad, holding it out to the woman. "I need someone I trust to lead them. Interested?" He asked.

Ra nodded when Adron declined the drink she offered and took no offense at it. He approached Flinx and she watched their exchange.

Her friend appeared to be acting like he had lost his mind. He spoke in little words and to Ra it was insulting to the Archlord's intelligence to be spoken down to like that. The irritation rose in her again at how childish he was behaving. Knowing her friend was ill almost didn't help in the matter, but she took a deep breath in through her nose, exhaled through her mouth and waited to see what would transpire between the two men.

Adron offered to help cleanse and try to heal Flinx which Ra was thankful for. The words of Flinx were only partially true though. The emotions she picked up from him were still depressing and she couldn't figure out why. She had done everything she could think of make him comfortable and start healing him. Perhaps Adron was right and he needed a different type of healing, one she couldn't provide.

He apologized for the trouble he had caused Ra and she just raised an eyebrow at him. Being blind he wouldn't see it though. When he was looking for a hug, Ra got an uncomfortable look on her face. She did give him half an embrace and let him go, stepping away. Hearing the words of the Archlord, they gave her some hope for her friend.

The Archlord moved over to the fireplace, looking into its flames for a few moments before speaking of what actually brought him to Castle Bast. He took a datapad out, offering it Ra to take. He said he needed somebody he could trust to lead a group of super soldiers. Assassinating, spying and otherwise work in the shadows of the faction.

"Of course, Archlord."

Taking the datapad from him, she looked through the information it contained and nodded.

"When should I report?"

Flinx just stood there and let the "adults" talk andwaithed to be led away to some other place he couldn't see. He was a little scared of said treatment. Plus he could tell by that the two talked that he was only getting half of the conversion. This miffed him. He wanted to be a part of the action but he just couldn't.

Ra'a'mah spoke of reporting and Adron only returned her words with a soft smile. "You won't be reporting to me. I have several officer's who will be contacting you about their services. One is a spymaster, one is an assassination expert, the other is an intelligence espionage officer. They will be your advisors."

"Your headquarters will be based off of Vjun, where I will have an academy built for potential agents. That academy will serve as your command base and where you will operate from. Of course other outposts and station will be provided but this will be the main hub for all of the activity. The Republic Inquisition will be founded right on the world you call home." The Count said, glancing back to Flinx with an arched brow.

"Perhaps this one will even serve as one of our agents, one day." Emphasis was stressed on the final words, however not in an intentionally harsh way. "For now I will take this one back to Serenno with me, If I cannot improve his state I'll return him to you as soon as a shuttle will bring him."

"Is all of this acceptable?" He questioned, offering a kind smile to the two.

"As long as I can send messages to Ra I'm ok. And I don't even have to pack." Flinx said as he swung his arms back and forth like a kid just wanting to go. He had lost all his possessions and all he had right now was his audio-reader. He would miss the kitty though. He hoped there would be animals where he was going. He really liked animals cause they weren't complicated like people.

The only sign of surprise Ra showed at Adron's words was a brief lifting of an eyebrow.

"Thank you, Archlord."

One of their first meetings had gotten rather heated, but an agreement had been reached between the two of them. Over the course of time, Ra had proven her word was good and slowly gained more trust from him.

"Understood, sir and I will strive to provide the leadership needed for this. I'm pleased you feel this is something I can handle. May I know if there might be any compensation for my work?"

She had only told fully one person her true past, but if Adron knew what she had accomplished, he would already know this would be easy for her once she learned what her duties were going to be. Ever a businesswoman, Ra had to keep an eye on her own assets. His proposal would take time and credits to fully get started and she expected some of start up funds would need to be provided by her.

"Yes, please see if you can help him. There's nothing more I can think of to do and I'm not like his father to abuse him."

Turning to her friend, Ra placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a gentle squeeze.

"You'll be fine Flinx. And the next time we meet, you'll be whole again."

Flinx hugged Ra with a few tears coming from his lack of eyes. "I will Ra, I will." I step back and look to Mr. Adron ready to go.
