Dromund Kaas. The heart of the Empire. I loved looking out of the window, seeing the speeders pass by and those giant buildings growing out of nowhere as it was seen from this height. The window was forever covered with rain drops as it's never ending here. Cloudy skies and no sign of the sun. I stood next to the holocom, was supposedly talking to another imperial lieutenant however i didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. I crossed my arms and looked back at him.

-Yes, my lord, these are all the news you wanted to know, - the tiny man said on the hologram. He stood still for a second, his hands were slightly shivering. He looked up at me again and asked, - Would you like anything else?

-No, - my deep voice sounded completely different from his pitched voice, - 'You may leave'.

-Yes, my lord, - he said and his silhouette disappeared from my sight.

I sighed. All these people are so pathetic, it's not even fun. They do everything i say and are scared to not obey me. Being too powerful bores me, i don't face challenges any more. I even missed being just an acolyte. However.. Just an acolyte? I killed my overseer without sweating. Even the academy wasn't really hard to me. When will i ever find something worth my time?

With these thoughts i laid down on the bed. It was really cold and silent in my room. I didn't like it when it was quiet, it reminded me more of calm before the storm than of peace. And i was right - i sensed someone's presence somewhere around me. I didn't bother to get up and look around. I decided to not pay attention. Let it be the way it is. If they choose to attack me.. Well, it's their choice, can't blame them for their stupidity. They should have learnt about me before coming here. I'm the Emperor's Wrath and i cannot be defeated.

Then suddenly i felt something striking me in my chest but the metal plate under my robes prevented it from hitting me. I opened my eyes immediately and pushed them using the Force, whoever that was. I heard the body hit the wall. I looked there and saw a young woman with long black hair. She was trying to get up but couldn't, her body was weak after that push.

-Who are you? - I said, trigging my lightsaber out. She didn't say a word. I stepped closer, - I won't ask again.

-You really think i would tell you? - She said without looking at me. I put my foot on her back pressing her to the floor a little. I pointed my lightsaber at her neck.

-You will if you want to live.

-Like i would tell you, you Sith scum, - she said slightly laughing. I pressed harder on her. She should not forget she is about to get killed.

-Why did you come here?

-Just was walking by and decided to come in, warm up.

I ran out of patience. I don't really like it when somebody tries to play with me. Especially after they tried to kill me. I put my left hand forward, reaching to her, and clenched my fingers like if i was strangling her. Force choke, how much i love it. She gasped and started coughing, trying to breathe. Her body slowly moved up in the air. I enjoyed watching her in pain, watching her try to scratch her neck to stop the invisible force from killing her. I stopped, and she fell down.

-I killed many Sith before you. You are nothing special, - she said, gorging the air. I smirked and stepped closer to her, ready to strike her with my lightsaber. I've grown tired of listening to her, she was only annoying me so i decided to end this quickly. She failed as will others who attempt to kill me. But then she suddenly disappeared, and the smoke spread in the room. I looked around, trying to find her. Or at least hear something.

Something hit me in the back, breaking through my armor and piercing my body. I groaned in pain. I turned around immediately and pushed her away from me. She flew back by twenty meters, and i leapt to her. I struck her body and started crippling it but her shield was reflecting all of my strikes. Still was doing damage to her body though. She couldn't move away, she had to take all of my hits. She started summoning some probes, medics, as i guessed, but it couldn't heal all the damage i was dealing to her. Then i finally broke through her shield. I pushed her away from me again and while she couldn't get up, i leapt again to her.

-Any last words? - I said sarcastically, raising my hand with the saber, ready for a lethal strike.

-Fine, fine! I am.. Ces Petrelli…
