Early Afternoon
Rendili
The universe had seemed to grow simpler in the passing days. The dark looming threat of the One Sith was apparent, the popcorn showers of resisting factions felt as passing as a summers storm. Rain and the clap of boisterous thunder, but nothing more. Pride and success had made the One Sith arrogant, which was more than appropriate. But things would change, they always did. And as the universe tumbled over itself, the Wrath wondered where he and the likes of Ygdris and Matsu would turn. Would they feel the weight of the empire as it turned over on them, crushing them with every last agonal breath, pregnant with pain, suffocated by the prideful fall that would follow? He wasn't one to look forward to that particular tilt, the simplicity of a death on the battlefield a far more warming thought. Or perhaps killed in the cut that dived too deep, thoughts forever cast on the instant gratification of life and what rewards it offered.
But for now, he sat at a metal table, deep in thought as he scratched the scar over his missing eye. Deeply entwined in the thoughts of his life passing over the past decade, leading the One Sith to where they know stood. Triumph and solemn, shadow stretching to the North and South. But for the commitment of energy and time and resources and blood, he couldn't seem to celebrate. Perhaps the Dark Lord had sensed that disparaging thought cross the mind, casting fiery thoughts to a more capable receptacle. There was a grace there and Reverance couldn't seem to feel it anymore, shackled to a cold foreboding sense of disillusionment. That with all they had done, he couldn't understand what the point was. Perhaps it was always pointless and maybe recognition of that was something that would comfort him. Chaos, power grabs, the clash of steel and energy for the sound it made, that made sense to him. The hurdle of flesh, the tumble of lust and agony and pain and the mire of it's cacophony, it was the melody that soothed him.
Looking over to Ygdris, he poured the whiskey into the glass cups. Sliding it across to her and the mercenary, he placed his against his lips and smelled. His view shifted to the miners in the background, the scurry of their movements to the sounds of pick axes against stone. The sun felt distant, hidden behind a veil of clouds, as he sipped from the crystal. Wincing from the strength, enjoying the fire for the void it filled, he cracked his neck and waited for one of them to break the silence.
