Two hundred and forty years. Such a long time for most species, and yet, only into adulthood for an Anzati. However, what it was a long time for, was going without ever having fed on the soup. How he craved it, how he wished that there was a way he could grab one, set them into a trance like he knew he could, and then suck it right out of their head. The power it would grant him. And yet, he refused. Detro Nacti, that was his known name at least, was probably one of the strongest willed Anzati who hadn't become some kind of Jedi.
However, for all his cunning, his will, and the power he did have, there were facts that just couldn't be hidden by simple talent. Like aging. Because, compared to a human, he did not. His former faction was prided on that, humanity. And he had managed to weasel his way high into its ranks before he realized what a useless endeavor that was. Even if he hid that he was not aging compared to them, they would eventually discover him. And his lies would be strewn across any who would listen. But if he were to find somewhere where it would not matter. Or somewhere they simply would not notice. How pleasant would that be.
It was truly fortunate that his discovery of the Valkan Guard occured mere days prior to an open exam matter. Some kind of trial or test in which outsiders could run through to potentially join their group. The Anzati got passage to the planet, his arrival would be soon, early enough to ensure he would be prepared to be a part of the trials. This was going to be an interesting endeavor.
