Chapter 30

"Where are we going?"

"The Star Forge. It's where we met, where we will create our fleet, and from where we will rule our galaxy." Revan replied as she easily punched in the coordinates for Rakata Prime.

"Create our…fleet?"

"The Star Forge is a factory of immense Dark Side power. It is capable of creating a Star Destroyer class ship in less than two hours, drawing on the Dark Side energy of the user and raw matter flowing upwards in a continuous stream from the sun it is suspended above."

"…Huh?"

Revan smiled. "It's a really fast and powerful factory."

"Oh. But… Didn't it freeze you for four thousand years? Are you sure you want to trust it enough to live there?"

"Sadow, the only reason the Star Forge froze me in time was to bring me to you. He knew that with my knowledge of the Dark Side and your incredible power over the Force, the two of us could create a new Sith Empire that would last for a thousand years."

"I still don't trust it."

"Well, I'll introduce the two of you, and maybe you'll change your mind."

"Master? Umm, if you're hearing voices inside your head, it's usually not a good thing."

"Trust me."

Five hours later, they slipped out of hyperspace. Observing the Star Forge suspended above the star, Sadow could feel the Darkness flowing off of it. It was like a dam had been around his senses the last time he was here, and it had been removed. Darkness pressed in on his head, making his vision go dark and his muscles go weak and then…

It vanished. Sadow opened his eyes. Suddenly, he could see the Star Forge in incredible detail. As he turned his gaze to the planet below – what had Revan called it, Rakata Prime? – He realized his eyes could now zoom in on things that were far away. And his muscles felt different, stronger.

"The gift of the Forge. It can heighten your senses beyond what even the Force can do."

"This is…awesome." Sadow muttered, wonder in his voice.

Revan laughed and flew the ship in to the Star Forge. Walking out of the ship, she commented to the seemingly empty air "Hello again."

Before Sadow could ask who she was talking to, a voice echoed inside his head.

"Welcome, Lady of Darkness. Welcome, Lord of Darkness."

"What the hell is that?"

Revan smiled and turned to him. "That was the Star Forge. Welcome home." Then she kissed him, and pulled his hand deeper into the Forge… And to his destiny.
