The Emperor seldom found time for himself, but his activities today he chalked up to "research and meditation." His near-obsessive interest in history and the Force often led him into the most ancient and under-explored areas of the temple on Korriban. Sculptures of Tuk'ata, ancient Red Sith, and the early Sith Lords were common among the many pillars and rooms of the temples.
It was here, at the heart of a temple on a world so dedicated to the darkness, that he often felt glimpses of powers that were difficult to fathom. But he never stopped his search.
His royal guards didn't walk with him on this venture, and few ever bothered him on the way. The Acolytes and Crusaders - those seldom times that they saw him at all - steered clear of his path. They didn't dare interrupt him, and he was glad for that. Too few moments were captured and belonged solely to him.
But today there was something different. From the moment Varyn had set out on his trip, there was something wrong. It was as if he weren't alone. He saw and heard no one, but he was a predator, and he knew what it felt like to be stalked. Who or what it was, he didn't know, and he certainly didn't count out that it may have been an assassin, but until it showed itself, the Emperor simply bided his time.
When will you show yourself? And to what purpose? Whatever it was, it was darkness. This was no Jedi traitor or even a Mandalorian. It gave off an aura of evil almost akin to Varyn's own. Fascinating, he thought, wondering if it was a manifestation of the temple itself, though he found it unlikely. @Orbit
