Vader's Castle
Mustafar
An oppressive heat lingered all around, brought forth from volcanic vents and surface lava that remained too hot to form into a layer of igneous rock; the deep catacombs of her pyramidal home had kept much of the desert warmth from bothering her, for months now as she toiled in the pit - carrying out the will of her God. Each breath she took burned the back of her throat, and an ashen layer of soot lingered on any exposed skin.The runes which ran black along her pale skin were raised more so than usual, so much so that when she ran her left hand over her right arm she could feel the bumps which made up the ink-like markings. She was still confused over how they had appeared, though she had no doubt the parasite on her soul had something to do with it. One day she would find a way to walk without it... For now? She paid it no further mind.
Why had she come to this magmatic world? There was still so much work to do, even with the Gate open... Too much work to do. And yet there she was, walking along the edge of bubbling lava lakes, her bright orange gaze lingering over the various pits which could easily spell her end. It was not often the Force misdirected her. It had led her to her God, after all... And now it led her here. But why?
In the distance, the silhouette of a large structure made itself known, black against the almost perpetually orange-hued sky, partially covered with steam and smoke from the various vents. Was this it? This... thing? It was no Pyramid. It barely held her attention at all, in truth. With heavy sigh she began to near it, keeping an eye out for any sort of security that might keep her out.
