Entry 54: Skagendo Tea Party and the Twi’lek’s task
*As the holoprojector whirrs into motion, it displays the image of the Sith Lord currently known as Lord Sanguinis. Removing his gauntlets and bracers, the male Rattataki appears to be dressed in a short tunic with a slight raised collar. Whilst certainly his entire body is in the blue hue light of the holoprojector, it is clear the eyes burn a considerable flash of intrigue and sinister motive. Turning to face the recorder, Hirak let both arms fall to the side once the gauntlets were off. Both hands found the small of his back as he stood in regal posture, awaiting to say his peace.*
“For some time, Lord Seisu has been a stalwart ally of mine and Trakaton’s. She has represented a bastion of hope beyond that of Aregra’s father, Lord Dar and Darth Vossen that others exist in the Empire who agree with the traditionalist sentiment. The strong must rule, not the weak. It is only befitting of Darth Horuset that I retain myself in that manner when in public or everything I’ve received would have been for naught.
This very night I attended a tea party - the Skagendo tea party. Now that Lord Seisu had in fact renounced her Nyash ties and returned to that of her actual bloodline, the House Skagendo, she had taken the moniker in her own enterprise. Whilst certainly her tea has had some political use for bridging the gap as an apprentice between that of myself and more worldly potential allies, it is quite frankly a waste of resources. As I entered, I noted the usual guests and allowed my apprentices to split off. Siors, who has very little in the form of political of social capabilities, was tasked with gaining some. Whether he succeeded or not is another question. I sent the other, my secret apprentice Ketzel, to keep an eye on Siors and learn what he could. Whilst -that- one is a large humanoid, he certainly knows how to stay inconspicuous.”
*A wry smirk formed on the lips of the Sith Lord as he considered the opportunity both had been presented.*
“Of course, Siors knows not of the others existence. I wonder what will occur from it. Regardless, the most important matter at hand was discussions with Lord Ashaan and Lord Seisu. The former, a large brute of a Pureblood, sees eye to eye with me on how the Sith need to behave and act. Whilst I’m sure his impulses are in the right place, I consider myself the superior Sith. But then again, how could I not be? I was chosen by Darth Horuset for a reason. So we discussed a potential alliance and another meeting, a matter that had been waiting and dawning us for some time.
Beyond that, my conversation with Lord Seisu went as planned. I requested her aid in alchemy, in the creation of two specific amulets. I will require… power for them, to fill what is required within and the training to utilise them. She will provide all of this and in exchange, well… I suppose a favour will be had. Seisu always knew how to tempt and gain a foothold. However, we were young once and now, both mine and Trakaton’s experience will outweigh hers in due course.”
*The stray hand moved up to the chin of the Sith Lord who stroked the dark blue skin, rubbing it softly in thought. Hairless eyebrows knitted together in a furrow of angst as he gathered his thoughts.*
“I have decided that the model I created with Elayzek all that time ago is a method that works unilaterally. Aliens are considered lesser and more often than not, our acolytes and apprentices are too arrogant to consider their actions might be directed by a puppet master. In such instances, I managed to take advantage of one such individual. Acolyte Leive: a Twi’lek with very little potential except for the fact that she listens and obeys. In exchange for Saberstaff lessons, I have offered her a deal: she is to utilise a listening device I’ve given her to discover whether or not Alencia Dista is attempting to subvert assets away from the Dark Lord’s powerbase. It is clear from the conversations with this Twi’lek that something is going on and I will get the proof I need from my master to put a black mark on her career forever in this powerbase.
Tokiai tried, Saud tried and even Cautus tried. But for all their worth, -I-, Hirak Sanguinis, will play the fiddle and no one else.
End transmission.”
*With a flick of the hand and the wrist, Hirak beckoned the recorder to halt in it’s recording. Shuddering to a close, the holoprojector saw the blue light disappear within itself once more, and the form of Hirak quickly dissipated. The hum of noise slowly diminished until the device turned itself off entirely.*
