''Supreme Leader.''

''Speak.''

Hux approached him with caution. Lately he could not restrain his disgust for the Solo scum, which resulted in punishment. It was this arrogant boy's fault that the Supreme Leader Snoke fell at the hands of a puny padawan.

Something significant was about to happen. Ben never experienced a vision so powerful before. When he touched Rey he could still control the Force. But not this time. Sometimes he felt like he was back there, with waves of warmth stomping him to the ground. Just for a second, then everything came back to normal.

''Lord Modhras of Dhem'Sha made contact. Would you like to grant him an audience?''

Ben did not respond. He saw a snowflake dancing not far from general Hux's head. Blizzard. Then warmth again. He could not remember details of her face, only her strong power and aura. Like a powerful star in the middle of the galaxy. Perhaps the Force showed him a glimpse of the future.

''Proceed.''

Lord Modhras's hologram filled the command deck. He was wearing the nobility garb of Dhem'Sha, a rich planet who swore allegiance to the empire centuries ago. It was believed that Dhem'Sha lords played the most important role in counseling the Sith during the reign of the last Emperor, Darth Sidious. Ben knew better than to ignore his message. This nobility line was very powerful with the Dark force.

'' Young Supreme Leader, I am Lord Modhras. Recent events caused our ranks to seek out your presence. We sensed that you might be in distress, now that Luke Skywalker is defending the Resistance.''

''Careful.'' hissed Ben, clenching his fists. The failure against his insufferable uncle circled the galaxy, diminishing his authority. No matter.

'' I did not mean to offend you, Lord Ren.'' Modhras smiled, visible amused by this conversation. We shall serve the grandson of Darth Vader. Please honor the tradition and accept our invitation to the capital.''

It appeared that Lord Modhras didn't want to divulge more in the presence of general Hux. Ben was aware that the Dhem'Sha lords would crown him emperor if he gained their trust. He needed powerful allies, but more important than that, he needed their knowledge.

''I will build this Empire anew. See that you serve me.'' Ben gave a glacial answer, trying to keep his composure.

Lord Modhras chuckled. ''Of course, Supreme Leader. A protocol delegation will wait for you at the Capital spaceport.''

Before he could give an answer, Ben sensed a huge disturbance in the Force. So loud, just like the night before.
