Hello and welcome to my new story The Rise Of The Emperor's Wrath. I love the game and wanted a challenge for my next story so I decided to start a series about all the Empire characters. Without anymore delay lets...GO!
Prelude: Arriving On Korriban
Arturtec meditates as the shuttle leaves the capital ship getting himself ready for action as soon the ship lands on Korriban. His father had warned him that him going to Korriban instead of training him would be hard on him because he would not get any speical treatment.
As he continued to meditate he starts to see in his minds eye what happened.
"Are you sure that you want to go to Korriban?", his father asks Arturtec. He looks down on his soon with suspicion.
"Yes, father I want to go there to make a name for myself instead of riding on your fame, father," says Arturtec.

Arturtec feels the shuttle enter the atmosphere and stops meditating and opens his eyes and looks around at the two Imperial soilders. One is a man in full armor and the other is a female in scout armor. He could feel the fear rolling off of them because the knowledge of who his father is.
He sighs silently wondering what would be the first task that,...what was the Overseers name...oh thats right Tremel, would give him.
As he continued to look around Arturtec notices a light on the wall turn on and the man turned to him and said, "My...lord...w...we will be landing soon so prepare yourself for the bump...it can hard sometimes because of the wind.
Arturtec doesn't say anything but only nods at the trooper. He doesnt have to wait long because he feels a slight bump as the shuttle landed. He stood up and streched and walked over to the weapons rack and grabs the vibrosword his father had given to him. The shuttle door opens slowly letting in hot blistering sun light.
Arturtec walks towards the shuttle door and once it fully opens he walks out ready for whats to come.

When Arturtec walks out of the shuttle he is suddenly blinded by the light but he quickly recovers. He sees a tall black man waiting for him so he walks towards him.
"At last, you've arrived. Good, good. There is much to do and every moment is critical," the man says. "I am Overseer Tremel. For decades, I have administerd the trials that prove who is and is not worthy to join the Sith Order. The trials are a chance to weed out the weak. Those who face them either survive and become Sith, or die."
Arturtec listens closely to Tremel and soaks in every word but after he said people with either survive or die he spoke up, " Mark my words, I am destined to be Sith."
Tremel chuckles and continutes, "I know who your father is, but that doesn't matter. You will face your trials and you now serve me...not your father, and I will make you the most powerful acolyte.
"Sounds like a plan," Arturtec says.

The Overseer turns around and walks inside the shuttle hanger and Arturtec follows him in.
Tremel turns around and looks at Arturtec with...sadness...maybe pity then continues, "The trials themselves are difficult enough, but they are hardly the greatest threat you face. There is an acolyte by the name of Vemrin. He is your enemy, and he will try to kill you. We much prepare."
Arturtec looks at Tremel in confusion not sure if he heard him right and then speaks up, "How is it that I already have an enemy? Does'nt he know who I am?"
Tremel chuckles again and continues, "Yes, he does but all you need to know is that you are you are a threat to him, and his is to you. We'll make sure you can stand up to that threat. I see that you have a practice saber but you need a strong Sith warblade. In the tomb of Ajunta Pall, there's an old armory. A strong Sith warblade awaits you there.
Tremel takes out a map and hands it to Arturtec, "Here is a map of the tomb...it is not hard to find but to get through is hard. It is thick with k'lor'slugs, deadly, savage creatures. Be speedy but careful and do not get yourself killed. They've been the end of many an acolytes.
Arturtec takes the map and nods in thanks. Tremel turns to leave the hanger but stops and turns around and says, "Once you aquire the warblade, I suggest you spend some time in the tomb bloodlying it. After you are done come to my office in the Academy and we will continue."
With that Tremel leaves, leaving Arturtec, alone to think over what the overseer had told him. He looks at the map for a moment then walks for the exit to complete the task that was given to him.
