Lord of Girth
Two Days Ago
"And you want me to lead them on Ilum?"
"Yes Atheus. We feel you are best suited for the job. While most of our forces will be deployed elsewhere, You and the other Iron Lords will be headed to Ilum."
I stood before the Baleors. Their influence was powerful to behold. And being told by the Emperor that I would be leading the Iron Empire's own force sensitives to victory upon the frozen planet of Ilum, was an honor, as much as it was a curse. I wasn't a leader of men. I was a lone ranger. Thalia was my testament to that. I made wrong calls, and made stupid decisions. Was I really ready for this? Only time would tell.
"Go and prepare Atheus. You have a long week ahead of you."
Moving into my chambers, Thalia stood before me. She was supposed to be going over homework I had given her. Now, I needed to prepare for the battle ahead. Thalia could see my face. Not understanding what I had gone through, she started to ask question after question.
"Prepare for battle."
I am not used to this. Standing at the bridge of one of the many vessels over the surface of Ilum. A planet that had once been used by many Jedi, and Sith alike for their lightsaber crystals. I wasn't one for fleeting. Even now, I could see off in the distance ships that had once belonged to the One Sith Empire. Breathing in and out, I steadied myself against the railing of the ship. I wasn't a leader of men. I was the guy on the ground assaulting everything. Soon I would be on the ground. Soon I would be able to attack the Sith and their sect of force users that were hiding here. My right hand rose to my left shoulder as I swung it around. Stretching if it was anything.
Why would I be handed this job. Anyone else could have done this. More so, it was just another test for me to face. Looking around, I could see the men in their uniforms. Some in armor as they would be following me directly into battle. Thalia placed a hand on my shoulder. Reassuring me that it was going to be okay.
"What are your order Mi'Lord?"
Looking over them, I smiled behind my mask. Pointing to the man who had the com over the entire fleet.
"Prepare for Battle. Man battle stations. I want everyone up and ready to go now."
"Yes sir."
Turning to face the rest. I began to bark orders. Telling them to prepare the charges on their cannons. Aim at any ships they see leaving, and to leave none alive. There was no need for prisoners. I would not be taking any from the skies. Turning to Thalia, I pressed my own hand on her shoulder, Nodding in approval of her.
"Run every one of those ships down."
"Yes Atheus."
Turning away from her, I walked towards the bridge doors. My boots ringing with every step I took. My fast pace getting me thee before the door was even opened. I stopped as they were opening and turning around, I faced the crew on the bridge. Proclaiming to all of them.
"Long live the Emperor, Long live the Iron Lords, Long live the Empire!"
They cheered out in their own ways. Thalia smiling at me as she looked at me. I then left the bridge. Headed to the hangar to head to the ground. Leading the troops of many, against the resistance of the One Sith.
