Mustafar.
How was it that a planet with such rich history was still neutral?
Stepping out onto the volcanic landscape from the shuttle that had descended from the Fortuna that still hung in orbit, the Lady of Conquest breathed deeply.
"Glorious, isn't Samron?" she asked the Falleen that commanded the Legion of Bone.
"It is....something, Mistress." General Samron Gerron answered, his ridged brow furrowing somewhat.
"Oh come now. Even you must be able to feel the power in this place." Danika laughed before gliding further into the desolate landscape.
An obsidian tower rose from the ragged ground not far from their landing, close to a lake of molten rock. Power radiated from the monolith like a Dark beacon, palpable to even those that weren't Force sensitive.
"What is this place, Mistress?" Gerron asked in awe.
Danika's face had turned almost skeletal in the presence of the nexus in front of them.
"Powerful, isn't it? It's a bottomless well of power and it's the source of my visions. Don't tell me you're afraid, General?" she answered finally.
"I would be a fool not to be wary, Mistress. It's a dangerous place if even I can feel the power. Don't make the same mistake as Vader, my Lady." Gerron said somberly.
Dani wanted to throw a quip at him, but she took a hard, calculating look at the Bone General.
"The Force sent me here, Samron. Once we find what I'm supposed to find, then we can leave. Although, this planet can make a good addition one day. It's rich in all manner of things." she said, slightly kinder than usual.
"Just don't go walking through portals, my Lady." he answered with a grunt before following his liege-lord towards the monolith.
Standing at the foot, Dani looked up at the gigantic obsidian monolith. The Dark Force pulsated through her and over the landscape, strengthened by the obsidian structure. How reminiscent it was to the ancient days almost a millennium ago. Resting a marble-white hand on the smooth black stone, she reached into the nexus, searching for what it was the Darkness had told her to come and see.
A gaunt, Dathomirian face became apparent through the nexus.
And it was close.
