(She is sitting on a chair at the table they ate last night, thinking about the time they spent together, daydreaming of what they did and what they are gonna do today. She can't wait for him to come by, she is excited, happy, anxious. D3 walks in the room)
D3 - Sorry to interrupt you ma'am, you have a visitor. Darth Vowrawn just arrived. I let him in and he is waiting for you at the foyer.
M - Darth Vowrawn?
D3 - Yes, ma'am.
M - Is he alone?
D3 - Yes, ma'am.
M - Escort him upstairs to the dining room please.
D3 - Right away, ma'am.
M - D3, did he say the reason for his visit?
D3 - No, ma'am. He said it was a matter for your ears only.
M - After you escort the Darth here, make sure to wait for Lord Darmin's arrival. Once he lands, inform him immediately where Darth Vowrawn is and that he is alone.
D3 - Yes, ma'am.
M - Thank you. Go now.
(D3 leaves, Mira is troubled, she walks to the dining room waiting for Vowrawn)
(Vowrawn enters the room)
V - Mira, my most beautiful apprentice! How nice to see you.
M - Always a pleasure to see you master.
(He takes her hands in his)
V - How are you? I didn't have any news of you for some time.
M - That's because nothing dramatic happened. Life flows uneventfully recently.
(Vowrawn sits at the chair at the head of the table, Mira does the same in the adjacent chair to his)
V - You never told me what happened after your trip to Odessen. How is our dear old friend?
M - I made a report about that trip, didn't it reach you?
V - You know very well that I prefer personal contact to reading documents.
M - Yes, of course.
(The door opens and Darmin enters the room. He walks towards them in his usual assertive stride, stops at the opposite head of the table from where Vowrawn is)
V - My dear friend Lord Wrath! This is unexpected, albeit pleasing to see you after all those years.
(Darmin traverses the room, gets close to Vowrawn, Vowrawn gets up from his chair)
D - Darth Vowrawn. Well met.
V - Well met indeed. Now tell me…
(Mira is visibly anxious during this encounter, she got up from her chair the moment Darmin entered the room)
D - I will tell you many things, but first I want you to tell me something.
V - Ask away my friend.
D - Is it a coincidence you came here the day after I landed on Dromund Kaas in stealth?
V - Ah, of course, always straight to the point. At least you haven't changed after all those years.
D - We can discuss the past years later, for now I want the record set straight.
V - You know very well it isn't a coincidence. I expected nothing less from you.
D - So, what is it you want?
V - Let's sit down.
(All three sit down, Vowrawn in the middle of Mira and Darmin)
V - Your sudden appearance in the Sith home world could not be totally hidden, at least, not from me. Obviously, when I was informed I was curious about its meaning. It was even more curious when I realised my apprentice didn't inform me of it, especially given that you visited her in particular. I was intrigued. Naturally, I came to see the effects of your visit for myself.
(Mira looks at Darmin with an expression of regret, he notices it)
D - My visit to her was personal. I did not want it to be an official matter. Mira simply facilitated my arrival according to my wishes.
V - Yet, the fact remains. You have come back home. Is Mira the only reason for it?
(Darmin sits back on his chair, gets more comfortable)
D - This isn't my home anymore. Odessen is.
V - Commander is one face you wear, but Wrath is another.
D - I have not been Wrath since my imprisonment. I have no masters any more. I killed them all.
V - You were not simply the Emperor's Wrath, you were the Empire's Wrath.
D - And now I am Commander of an Alliance, one that includes your Empire, and Emperor of Zakuul. Wrath seems rather small in comparison.
V - Yes, indeed it does. Still… you are here, back to your old home, consorting with Darths. Ah, yes, Mira, I forgot to tell you the initial reason for my visit. You are to be named Darth Miradia. Congratulations, my child.
D - Congratulations indeed.
M - Thank you both.
V - It will be official at the next Dark Council meeting. You should expect to be summoned shortly.
(She gets up, looks at them expectantly, they both look at her not realising what happened, then they too get up from their chairs. She turns to Vowrwan and holds his hands in hers)
M - You have been too kind coming here personally to bring me this news.
(She bows)
M - Although your company is always welcome, I would hate to keep you here longer than you need to, my master.
V - Ah, yes. I should be going. Alas, I leave you in good company, my child.
M - Indeed. Goodnight, master.
D - Goodnight Vowrawn.
V - I'm sure we will speak again, my old friend. Goodnight to both of you.
M - D3, escort the Darth to his shuttle please.
D3 - Yes, ma'am.
(Vowrwan and D3 leave the room)
M - I'm sorry, I didn't even think of the…
(He cuts her off by taking her in his embrace)
D - I couldn't stop thinking about you all day.
(He kisses her, the kiss lasts for a long time. He fumbles with her dress)
D - I'm sure there is a way to take this off…
(She laughs, unbuttons one button and the whole dress comes off. She is naked underneath. He smiles, obviously pleased)
D - Lovely.
(He kisses her again, unbuttons his trousers, they make love on the table right behind them. It's rather fast, they have an urgent need for one another)
(Afterwards, they are both panting, she is sitting at the edge of the table, her arms around his neck, he is embracing her, his arms around her waist, they kiss again. When they are done making out, they both dress themselves, rather haphazardly)
M - Come, sit down.
D - I was thinking of somewhere more cosy to sit than a table chair.
(He smirks, she laughs)
M - Soon. Let's have a drink first.
(She pours some drink that is in a jar on the bar into two glasses, hands him his, she sits down, he is already sitting)
M - So?
D - What do you mean?
M - Will you be with me?
D - Mira… we talked about this. It's not that easy.
M - It's not impossible.
D - I need more time.
M - Darling, you can have all the time you want. I don't care about details, all I want is to know your intentions.
D - That's the thing; I don't know what they are, not exactly, not yet anyway.
(She looks at him silently, it's apparent she wants him to keep going)
D - You know me, if all that stood in my way was to tell Lana, I would have already done so.
M - Yes, I thought so.
(She is silent now, looking at him expectantly, he gets up, goes to the bar, looks at the drinks, outside the huge window, anywhere else but her)
D - When you left Odessen, I believed I could let you go. The next few days I could not get you off my mind, that's why I came here. It seemed pointless to try to not think about you, so I decided to meet you, see this thing between us through till the end.
(Her expression becomes sad, she stops looking at him, looks at her hands, it is obvious she is now expecting the worst)
D - When I came here and saw you, I wanted you more than I have wanted anything in my life. Being with you felt amazing, it felt right. Today, when I was away from you I could not concentrate on anything. At the briefing I barely heard what they were saying, all I could do was agree with my advisors' suggestions, cause the only thing I cared about was getting done with everything and seeing you.
(He turns to look at her, she is still looking down)
D - I think you might be the biggest threat I have ever faced.
(She gets up, visibly agitated, walks to the opposite way from where he is)
M - Bollocks! For a Sith, you are a coward.
(She turns to look at him, he looks at her)
M - I elicit strong emotions, don't I? Then use them, use your passions and become stronger for them, don't whine like a baby about not having what you want, exactly as you want it.
D - I can't afford to be distracted. What if you come in harm's way? I will drop everything and come to your rescue. I can't be irresponsible, not anymore.
M - Listen to yourself! Jedi suppress their feelings for the greater good, Sith feed on their passions and claim what they want! I think your association with all the Jedi in your ranks made you soft Darmin…
D - How dare you?
M - Do you really not see it? If you are still a Sith you will claim what you want. The only real question is, what do you want?
D - And what of the political ties we will form if we are a couple? I'm not Imperial anymore, I'm the strongest force in the galaxy
M - What of them? I can't guarantee the future, and who cares anyway?
(He looks away from her)
M - My old master feared nothing.
D - You are only trying to provoke me.
M - And you are having none of that. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no passion, there is serenity. Isn't that right, Darmin?
(He is very angry by this point. He walks in big strides, traverses the room and gets right in her face, he has his usual threatening look)
D - Say that one more time!
(She faces him with a great deal of defiance in her eyes)
M - Or what?
(He force chokes her. She force pushes him far away from her, he falls on the ground, gets up with an acrobatic move, ignites his lightsaber)
M - Give me your other one.
(He unsheathes the second lightsaber from his belt, makes a move as if to throw it at her but stops before doing so. He looks at the lightsaber in his hand, then at her. She has assumed a fighting stance)
M - Come on, toss it over. Let's end this once and for all.
D - You want to die?
M - Always so sure of yourself. Maybe you are right to be, but I have become much stronger than I was when we last sparred.
D - And you are willing to test that power on me?
(She exhales, a breath she seemed to be holding a long time)
M - I won't live without you. I prefer to die by your hand.
D - Are you crazy?
(She assumes a normal stance now)
M - I would never kill you. But, if I am doomed to be without you, I believe my grief will kill me. So, better you then some random Sith trying to climb the ladder.
(He seethes both his lightsabers, takes a more normal, relaxed stance in contrary to the fighting stance he had before)
D - You are just pushing my buttons to see where it leads.
M - I'm trying to end my suffering.
D - Don't you see? This, whatever it is between us, cannot work.
(She collapses on the floor and starts crying. He looks at her speechless for some moments)
D - No! You can't do that! This rollercoaster of emotions is maddening!
(She is crying even more now than before. He says the following as softly as he possibly can given his very elevated temper)
D - Mira… Stop this, please.
M - Fuck you! Your indecisiveness is what got me this way!
(He says the next almost shouting)
D - You are going to drive us both crazy if you keep this up!
M - Then end it!
D - Fine! Marry me, damn it!
(She starts laughing nervously)
M - Perfect way to propose.
D - You are on the floor sobbing and I'm angrier than I have ever been! What do you expect?
(She is calmer now, not crying and not laughing either)
M - I expect you to mean it.
D - You… you are… infuriating!
M - Get out.
(He looks at her speechless)
M - Leave!
(He doesn't move. She says the following shouting)
M - Leave!
(He takes a deep breath, kneels next to her)
D - I won't allow this craziness to go on any longer.
M - And what are you going to do about it?
D - I'm going to propose to you. I would appreciate it if you took me seriously this time.
(She looks at him both surprised and hopeful)
D - Will you marry me?
M - Yes.
(He kisses her softly)
M - So… It's done? You chose me?
D - I chose you.
M - I'm not an object at a mall you know…
D - Curse the Emperor, Mira, are you completely insane?
M - You killed him. Unless you mean yourself.
(He gets up, visibly very angry)
D - Stop this or I walk!
(She gets up, pulls herself together the best she can)
M - All right, all right. I'm done. I'm better now. See?
(She smiles at him)
M - Can you make love to me now?
D - Finally!
