Anakin passed erupting lava pits as he made his way on the raised path. He saw people burning and bleeding while others beat them. These were the Sith masters who died or were killed in battle. "Who were the people beating them? "Anakin asked himself. Suddenly he got attacked by more imps and skeleton like black creatures. The creatures were pushed away by a person in a black cloak.
"Anakin Skywalker. I warned Sidious about you, but did he listen nooo. "The man said. "You knew Palpatine? You are Darth Plagueis the wise. "Anakin said. "Was Darth Plaqueis. Now it is just Plaqueis. "Plagueis answered. "This place cuts off the Sith connection to the dark side. "Plaqueis explained.
"Did you really find a way to keep your loved ones from dying? "Anakin asked. "Yes, it was called dark transfer. I had to take energy from one person to save another. It wouldn't have helped you. I can't believe you fell from that banta poodoo from Palpatine. "Plaqueis explained. "I was consumed by fear of losing Padme my wife. "Anakin replied. "Because Palpatine caused you to. "Plaqueis said.
"He put the visions in your head of your mother and wife dying. It is called Sith persuasion. "Plaqueis explained. "Did you do the same thing to get him to join the dark side? "Anakin asked. "No, he wanted to become a Sith from the first time I met him. "Plaqueis said. "I would never have killed your mother, put those visions of your wife dying in childbirth in your head, or tricked you into killing your wife to join the dark side. "Plaqueis explained. 'Like I am going to believe that. "Anakin replied. "We can't lie here. "Plaqueis said. "I still don't believe it. "Anakin replied. "I don't blame you. "Plaqueis said.
"Palpatine even lied to himself. He claimed he created you. HA! "Plaqueis laughed. "I didn't realize that. "Anakin replied. "You were too mentally unstable to be a Sith Lord. Did Palpatine care no. He paid the price when you threw him down the shaft on the second death star. "Plaqueis said.
"I found the secret to immortality only Palpatine didn't like it and that's why he killed me in my sleep. "Plaqueis said. "What is it? "Anakin asked. "You already know and did it like Obi Wan and Yoda. "Plaqueis replied. "Being one with the force. "Anakin replied. "Yes. Palpatine didn't want to be a force ghost. He wanted to live forever. Fool! "Plaqueis groaned. "Last time I saw him was when he sent Darth Maul to Naboo. He killed me in my sleep that creep. "Plaqueis groaned. "He violated the rule of two. You should have killed them both. "Anakin shouted. "I never believed in the rule of two. Maybe I should have. "Plaqueis said. "Do you know where Padme is? I know she here somewhere. "Anakin asked. "She is ahead in the center of the underworld. Anakin started to leave for the next ring. 'Wait up. May I come with you? "Plaqueis asked. "Sure. "Anakin answered and the tall Muun walked beside Anakin towards the next ring.
