Revan sat kneeling on the grey cushions in his personal meditation chambers his flagship had been orbiting the planet below now for a few days as his Sith disbanded the local government, he reached out with his senses and let the force flow around him as he slipped deeper into a trance, he could almost hear his masters voice whisper in his ear when she first taught him how to mediate.
"Calm your mind Revan allow each thought to float away, allow the force to flow through you, feel its energy as it surrounds us and binds us, sometimes you may even see other places or faces from the past and future."
He could feel the pockets of resistance scattered across the planet below members of the republic that refused his offer to join him, to his mind eye the planet below glowed a soft yellow colour that seemed at odds with the blackness of the universe around it, he refocused his attention on his apprentice and at one point his friend Malak.
Malaks presence blazed red with rage and anger Revan had tried to teach Malak to reach a balance within the force like him but he could see he had failed. An echo caught his attention the best way he could describe it was the blackness as a pond and an echo acted like a ripple in the still water.
He swirled his lightsaber around him until he brought the hilt towards his shoulder with the blade pointing towards the person in front of him, he could vaguely see a yellow lightsaber blade spin around a body before the person settled for a tense few moments neither moved, he could make out he was on his flagship but nothing else….
His eyes snapped open and he sucked in a breath the force had gifted him with a vision of the future he knew he had never fought a Jedi with a yellow lightsaber especially recently, he reached out with the bond he shared with Kreia it was a special bond that allowed them to talk to each other and share information in complete privacy and without worry of intercepted.
"Ah Revan you felt it, did you not?" Kreia spoke in his mind her voice was distant almost like a whisper but he could understand her perfectly.
"Yes master I saw myself fighting a Jedi." He felt his master prod his memories and allowed himself to see the vision he saw again as he shared it with Kreia.
"You must be wary Revan this vision should not be taken lightly, visions of this nature are hard to decipher the events might not even happen the future is always in motion, I will use everything I have at my disposal to guide you with this."
Revan felt his master close her end of the bond he rose from his crouched position and ran his hand through his shoulder length black hair before he tied it into a knot, he paced around his room before he came to his mask that lay on his armour stand gleaming in the dull lights of his room, he reached out and picked up the cold metal mask and stared at the black and blood red etchings that covered the metal.
The mask had become a symbol of fear in the galaxy thanks in no part to the Jedi council and their slander campaign of him it was ironic really as he always give people the chance to surrender before he was left with no choice but to kill them, the mask had once belong to his great great ancestor who was the last of a dead and forgotten Mandalorian clan.
He lifted the mask and placed it over his head the mask automatically adjusted to fit him perfectly once he raised his hood he walked out the room and entered his personal lift and hit the button for the command deck.
After the short ride he walked out the elevator the command deck was buzzing with activity as his staff went about the duties, the command deck was arranged that his staff worked at either side of the room on their terminals and droids passed on messages or went about doing there cleaning duties, behind him was a another elevator that was for the common soldiers to use and next to that was a war room that had a holographic display of the galaxy arranged around a conference table, at the head of the command room was a large window that looked out at the stars and his fleet as it orbited the planet.
His flagship like every other ship in his fleet had the command centre at the rear of the ship so that when he stood at the window he could see the hull of his ship and watch as his fighters flew out the hangers that were arranged on either side of the ship. It also meant that he could feel the hum of the powerful core that powered the hyperdrive and the ship.
He walked to the head of the command centre were his admiral was waiting with a data pad "what's the situation?" he asked as he took the data pad and scrolled through the information.
"The locals have accepted our rule of the planet and have willing joined our cause. My only concern is these pocket of resistance my lord they are heavily fortified and have ignored of request to surrender peacefully."
Revan nodded and handed the data pad back to the admiral "Send a squadron of Dark Jedi." He watched the admiral bow before he turned back to look out at the vast blackness.
Meanwhile on Dantoonie the Jedi council was debating what to do about Revan and his ever growing army Master Vrook, Vandar, Zhar and Dorak had been joined by the Jedi council on Coruscant.
"There is no doubt that Revan has become a very dangerous threat, you just have to look at what the Sith did to Telos." The image of Master Atris flickered briefly as she spoke.
"I agree with Atris Revan must be stopped." The bland and boring voice of master Vrook spoke as he supported his fellow master.
The aged face of master Vandar scrunched up as the unknown alien used one of his three fingers on his hand to scratch his chin "I too agree but we must tread carefully it is not enough we have our Jedi spread out through the republic ranks. The Dark Side of the force blinds us, even to one as old and powerful as I."
"Revan was always powerful he must be manipulating the force with an ancient Sith technique, I fear this could very well be the end of the Jedi and the Republic if we do not act." Master Zez-Kai Ell said as he crossed is fingers together and leaned back in his seat.
The room fell silent and each masters face adopted a look of contemplation it was a few minutes later that master Dorak spoke up for the first time "The only thing I can think that will help is the battle mediation gift anything else we try would be countered by Revan."
"We have a Jedi with the gift but it isn't nearly as powerful to apply to a fleet, the Jedi in question can barely manage to use the gift on more than ten people." Master Kavar a weapons master spoke as he leaned forward and rested his arms on his knees.
"Then why mention them Kavar it won't be long before Revan will simply overpower us in numbers alone we need a solution." Master Vrook scoffed at his fellow master truth was Vrook held a distaste for Kavar as the man had walked a fine line when he joined the Exile before seeing the errors of his ways and re-joined the council.
"Peace Vrook your outburst does not help our cause." Master Vandar spoke "Adjourn we will for now mediate on this I will." The images of the Jedi masters on Coruscant vanished leaving the council on Dantoonie to split up all except for Vandar who retreated into the bowels of the academy, when the academy was first formed it was built on a mountain of crystals that were infused with the force.
It took his tiny frame a few minutes before he arrived in a small dark cave that had large crystals growing out the very walls of varying colours that seemed to pulse with life, he walked up to a small pad that was covered in simple brown cushions and lowered himself into a sitting position and immersed himself in the force using the crystals around him to help.
