Chapter 7: Nelian
Nelian sat in his chambers smiling. Being a sith lord certainly has its perks, he thought to himself. He could tell that everyone there feared him greatly. He chuckled silently. At least they were smart enough to be afraid of him.
They were not however, smart enough to find one women. He had dispatched several of his best men to find her. Every report sent in to him said the same thing. They could not find a trace of the Lady Revan.
Incompetent fools, he thought. A woman like Revan does not just vanish. For one thing it was not her way. Weather she liked it or not, and wanted it or not, she was always noticed by all beings that crossed her path.
When he had first heard about how Malak had betrayed Revan, and attacked her ship, he wanted to kill his brother. Instead, he decided to wait. He knew it would only be a matter of time before his idiot brother screwed up, and was killed for it. He was right.
Malak had been killed by the same person who he had betrayed.
For the past four years, Nelian had his people looking for Revan. He had sent people he personally trained to search for her. He placed spies in world he thought she might show up at. So far nobody had spotted her. He would not give up, not ever.
He knew he had made a mistake when he allowed himself to be place on Sithius. He should have stayed by Revans side, where he belonged. His other mistake had been letting Malak live. He should've killed his brother when he first sensed Revans feelings for him.
He decided that once Revans location was discovered, he would go with the retrieval team and get her himself. He was not about to allow anyone to screw this up. He had plans for her, weather she approved or not.
He knew that she would not stay with him willingly, though he hoped she would. He hated the idea of using the force to make her, but he would do it if needed. He had thought of threats and promises to use to convince her to join him.
He had heard that the former Jedi Council had wiped her memory. They must have not been very powerful if she had bits and pieces coming back to her. If he did the memory wipe himself, her memory would never return. He was much more powerful than the Jedi Council.
He could also tell her that if she joined him, he could restore her memory. Maybe even promise her great powers. He decided that the threat of losing her memory would be the best bet. He doubted that she would want to lose her memory again.
Suddenly the door beeped. "Come in", Nelian ordered. His apprentice, Darth Lynden, entered and bowed. "Master, we have just received a report from our agent on Coruscant. He says that the Lady Revan is there at the Jedi Temple", Darth Lynden informed him. Nelian smiled. "That is excellent my apprentice. Ready my ship. Have all the dark Jedi prepare to leave in one hour", Nelian ordered him. He turned to look out the window. "Yes master", Darth Lynden replied, and he left.
