True Bond Chapter 1
Wraeththu walked through the halls of her Star Destroyer that was given to her as a gift for saving her masters life years ago. Her destroyer the Protector was in orbit around the newly finished Death Star, the massive battle station that Emperor Vader's predecessor Darth Sidious had created as the ultimate super weapon.
The doors to her meditation room on her ship and slid shut behind her as she walked in. Instead of dropping to a knee to bow she instead let bowed her head and spread her arms out as a holographic image of Darth Vader appeared. "Master you summoned me?" Wraeththu said lifting her head back up toward the image of Vader.
"My spies have told me that we may have a traitor in the Empire, her name is Leia Organa; she is the princess of Alderan. We have received detailed reports that she has been in communication with known Rebel sympathizers" Vader said.
"I will sever her head from her body" Wraeththu said darkly, "No, I do not want her dead; I want you to follow her, capture her and interrogate her. Find out exactly what she knows about the Rebellion. She is on her home planet." Vader replied.
"I will depart immediately master" Wraeththu said with another bow as the image faded. As Wraeththu walked out of the room and back down the halls toward the bridge she thought about the Rebellion. It had started about three years after the Empire was born, a bunch of pathetic life forms trying to bring the Republic back. They sought to destroy the Empire and the Emperor, there had even been a few assassination attempts when Vader claimed the throne but she had dealt with them quickly and efficiently.
Wraeththu's knowledge of the darkside had grown even greater since the fall of the Republic but so did her hunger for more power. The more power she had he easier it would be for her to keep her master safe. When the Jedi fell Wraeththu and Vader had gone back into the Jedi temple on Corusant and broken into the vault in the Jedi archives and took all the Sith holocrons, all the knowledge of the darkside from old Sith long dead for themselves.
The door to the bridge opened and the room instantly became cold and the officers on board looked up as Wraeththu walked onto the bridge. Few dared to look at her face as they feared that they may be struck down by the Sith, Wraeththu had been known to be very brutal and vicious as well as unforgiving. Over the years since the fall of the Republic to where they were now Wraeththu had become even more animalistic and savage, some of the officers aboard her ship would immediately turn and walk the other way when they saw her coming or would cower in fear.
Wraeththu however was known to have one soft spot in her and that was her master, though she never showed it in public her devotion to her master had become much stronger, perhaps it was more than just devotion at this point perhaps it was more.
"Set course of Alderan, Captain Riggs" Wraeththu said now standing at the front of the bridge looking out the port view window. "Yes Lady Wraeththu" Riggs replied bowing his head and turned to relay the orders. The Star Destroyers engines roared to life and soon the stationary stars became a blur as the ship surged into hyperspace.
"We have to move carefully so that the Empire will not notice our plans" Leia said while sitting in a chair around a large circle table surrounded by other people both species and gender varying. "Are you sure they don't know of our plans already?" a Zabrak woman said sitting forward in her chair.
"There is no possible way they could have traced our conversation over the years" Leia said assuring the others in the room with a bold firm voice. "All the other assassination attempts have failed what makes you think this one will work?" said a tall man with dark skin and blue eyes looking at Leia. "Because now we have someone on the inside, deep on the inside that can get close enough to the Emperor to do the job" Leia replied.
"And what about the Emperor's apprentice?" the Zabrak female said with a hint of fear in her tone. The room fell utterly silent, the people in the room cast worried glances around; they had all heard of the Emperor's apprentice, Darth Wraeththu. She was known to be extremely brutal and merciless, especially when someone threatened Emperor Vader. "We will just have to make sure we cover our tracks" Leia said breaking the silence. "If you are sure we can do it then we are with you" the Zabrak woman said.
