Darkness is arbitrary. Everyone saw Darkness in a different way and everyone had a different point of view on darkness itself. That is how Darius survived as long as he did on Korriban. Darkness was a means to an end. Not something that could make loving beings evil and cruel. Darkness was a tool. Like any hammer or vibroblade. A tool to be used by a wielder... Darius was never so wrong. And his naiveté had it's costs.
Now he was alone in the galaxy. No one to turn to. Except for himself.
It had been two days since Lakoma's murder, and one day since Darius' escape from Korriban. The pain in the last few days was worse then any pain he had felt before. Not the temporary pain of his father's abusive training or the cold insults his older brother threw his way. Or even the way his mother would ignore him. No, this was crippling. Spiritually breaking. Darius' only true friend and the only person he felt he loved was murdered before his own eyes, by his own flesh and blood. The one who had taught him of freedom and of peace. She made him feel complete. At peace. Away from the abuse and cruelty he had come to know within the world of the Sith... and now she was gone. Taken away from him by the very source of abuse he had come to know so well.
Darius didn't know what to do. But he did know he needed to escape. He needed an out. He was Sith no longer. In fact, title and familial bonds aside, he was never Sith. His teachers had praised his powers in the past, but he simply never agreed with the Sith Code. How could peace be a lie when the peace that you can feel within is so great? He didn't match the tenacity of his peers nor the bloodlust or ruthlessness or any other qualities that made a Sith. He just... wasn't born that way. Darius was happy to be gone. Away from the family that didn't love him. Away from the order that he had rejected.
But he had been Sith for 17 years... He didn't know where to go or what to do.
During his escape, he was helped by a Sith Crusader who shared his sentiments towards the order. One who had instructed him prior. The only name he would ever give him was V. V had dropped him off on Nar Shadda; a planet in Hutt Space where he could easily run and hide from the Empire. Not that they would come looking for him. All. In all, the sith didn't care about their acolytes. At least, not with the war that was happening. V said that despite the facial tendrils, he could pass for a Zeltron and blend in... Shortly after bringing him to Nar Shadda, V left. Went back to Korriban. To report Darius' "death"
