Chapter 2 – The Overlord of the Sith
Ragnos, Sahara Desert
Thousands of years ago, when the Sith were defeated by the Republic at the end of the Great Hyperspace War, a group managed to escape the holocaust that followed, seeking refuge in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. And so would the Sith land on a world inhabited by primitive humans, seemingly isolated from the galactic community. Believing the world to be their salvation, the exiled Sith built a city beneath a massive desert, away from the eyes of the world, and of the Jedi. Mostly, that is.
Named after the greatest of the Dark Lords of the Sith to rule over the Sith Empire, Ragnos served as the capital of the Sith states scattered across the world, a confederation ruled by the Sith Overlord, who was in turn advised by his Sith Council. The reigning Overlord of the Sith was Gepta Hord, a direct descendent of Tulak Hord, one of the ancient Dark Lords of the Sith. His fortress stood above all the other buildings, overseeing the entirety of Ragnos. Having been built in memory of the old Citadel on Ziost, the leader of what remained of the old Sith Empire used it as his residence as well.
"Tell me, are you certain that he is the one?" questioned Hord.
"He bears the Mark of the Pretender. And the Force flows freely in him… unrestrained. I am certain you can feel it."
The Lord of the Sith turned around, looking at his former sister-in-law. Shaar Krev had married his brother, Vincine Hord, the former and late Sith Overlord, who ruled over the Sith unopposed. In the end, the only enemy he had been unable to defeat was a disease that took hold of his respiratory system. With his death, several rose to take the mantle of Sith Overlord, yet all fell to the strength of Gepta Hord. Shaar had made it very clear that she had no intentions of usurping the Sith throne, stating that she had no patience for ruling over the entire Sith. Instead, Gepta granted his brother's widow his own former seat in the Sith Council, Shaar having enough power to back her new position.
But Vincine had not died without leaving progeny. He and Shaar had a single daughter, who abandoned the Sith and discarded her birth name for another one.
"And your daughter? What was her reaction to your… appearance?"
"She wasn't there. She and her husband are in a medical centre, recovering from an attack," explained Shaar. "The child was with his brother in that fortress where she studied."
She noticed that Gepta's cheek tendrils began to quiver, while his eyebrows were raised.
"So, you… kidnapped him? An interesting choice," affirmed the Sith Lord. "You realize the consequences this prophecy will bring to us if it comes to be true, correct?"
"Of course. I would not take the initiative if I was not certain of it," she declared. "We are destined to reclaim our place in the stars. He is the key to our destiny."
The Sith Overlord once more turned towards the windows, observing the city below. He knew that once day the Sith would be capable of rising from their self-inflicted exile on that world, much like all those who came before him. He knew that one day the Dark Lords of the Sith would rise again, and if the dark side of the Force had decreed that his great-nephew was the one to do so, then he would ensure that the boy would be raised as a Sith.
"We have to remove the alterations made by your daughter. To restore his original appearance," said Gepta.
"That won't take long. All that she learned about alchemy came from me," stated the woman. "She might have strength in the Force, but her training was not fully complete."
"Then I believe that task falls to you," said the old Sith Overlord. "Once that is done, you will see that the boy learns our language. I shall oversee his training."
Shaar nodded. "Very well. I shall prepare for the ritual."
"Then you may go."
When the ritual had been complete, and Lily Potter's Sith alchemy dispelled from her son, Harry Potter had changed. His face now sported a pair of thin cheek tendrils and his skin had changed from its previous light colour to a light shade of red, as common in all Sith children. Over the centuries, the last pure Sith had become extinct due to interbreeding with both humans and the Sith-human hybrids which descended from the Jen'jidai which landed on their ancient homeworld so long ago.
Now, it was time to see if this young Sith was to truly become the salvation of the Sith and their teachings. And Gepta knew very well what would happen when his grand-nephew was fully trained in the ways of the Sith, knowing the prophecy that concerned him. The boy would certainly seek a way to overthrow him and claim the position of Sith Overlord to himself, and perhaps even go beyond that.
But still, right now only time would tell what the child would become.
The Holocron:
Vincine Hord – The late husband of Shaar Krev and former Sith Overlord. A direct descendent of Tulak Hord, Vincine would take the Sith throne after defeating the former Overlord in combat, following the old Sith tradition. He fell victim to a disease on 1976, and was succeeded by his brother.
Gepta Hord – Brother of Vincine Hord and the current Sith Overlord. He gained the title after eliminating all of his rivals, following his brother's death. He is also the current patriarch of the Hord clan.
Shaar Krev – The widow of Vincine Hord and mother of Lily Potter. After her husband's death, she managed to gain a seat in the Sith Council.
