Lady Venge
Character
-Venge's Theme-
Aboard The Dark Embrace
Venge was in a particularly foul mood following her encounter with Alina Tremiru It was Alina's parting remarks that especially irked her the most. Venge glowered as she watched the swirling blue and white of hyperspace on The Dark Embrace's main viewscreen.
"Adeline won't give you anything you want. So long as I tell her not to, anyway. When you're ready to bend the knee and beg, it won't be hard to find me. Enjoy scrounging, Lady Venge."
To be treated as less than a Dark Lady Of The Sith, gnawed at the core of Venge's being. She was destined for far greater things. She would bring the galaxy to its knees. She would...
YOU ARE NOTHING VENGE!
"L..Lord Jarin?! It can't be," Venge gasped. "You've been dead for nearly 30 years!"
TIME HAS NO MEANING IN THE NETHERWORLD....
"Why now, when you alone could have guided me all these years?..."
TO SPEAK TO THE LIVING REQUIRES A GREAT DEAL OF FOCUS AND AN EXPENDITURE OF ENERGY I COULD ILL AFFORD UNTIL NOW...
Venge notices the atmosphere inside The Dark Embrace growing colder as if the very essence of Lord Jarin's departed spirit was seeping into the space she occupied. Impossible as it seemed, she suddenly found herself mortally afraid.
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL THESE YEARS, LADY VENGE, WONDERING WHAT YOU WOULD DO, WHERE YOUR PATH WOULD LEAD....AND WHAT I SEE DISPLEASES ME! YOU ARE THE SOLE REMNANT OF OUR ORDER...YOU WISH TO RESTORE ITS FORMER GLORY...AND YET YOUR DESIRE IS TO DO SO WITH THE SON OF STORMWOLF AT YOUR SIDE?! WHAT PURPOSE IS SERVED BY RULING AS A QUEEN ALONGSIDE THE VERY ONE WHO BETRAYED US?!
"What would you have me do, Jarin?! I only sought to finish what you started!"
YOU'VE SQUANDERED YOUR EFFORTS, VENGE, WITH YOUR INFATUATION FOR ALEX STORMWOLF! EVOLVE OR PERISH! THE CHOICE IS YOURS. BUT KNOW THIS...YOU ARE NOT A DARK LORD OF THE SITH. THAT TITLE IS ONLY WORN BY THOSE WHO HAVE EARNED IT...AND YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MERIT THE TITLE....
"Evolve or perish?! How?!!!..."
YOU MUST BEND THE KNEE AND BEG....
Fear formed a knot in the pit of Venge's stomach as she heard Jarin echoing Alenia Tremiru's taunting final words to her.
"NO! There is must be another way...."
EVOLVE OR PERISH!...
The atmosphere inside The Dark Embrace gradually grew less oppressive as Lord Jarin's otherworldly presence faded. Falling to her knees, a whimper of despair escapes Venge's lips and a single tear of regret falls from her eyes as the truth of Jarin's words stab through her as swiftly as a lightsaber. As much as she despised the idea, she would have to seek an audience with someone within the Sith Order who had a bit of clout and align herself with the greater good instead of her own selfish interests.
