Deep thoughts (OPEN)

[Sting]

"zzzt**Sting h-ere** Gen e ral Devious Do Yu* cop y" The signal was weak and it was hard to understand. But it would have to do..

"**The Mandorl*** have brought in a sp*Ecialis*t. They have made an aggr**ment with a Darth St***. Name is ****
Repeat his name ** Legion!"


The Scrambler Sting was using started to smoke. Electrical Discharges covered the equipment.. Cracklezzzzt* "Damn!! It was history..." Sting stood up he could only hope that the General got the message.

[General Devious]

"**The Mandorl*** have brought in a sp*Ecialis*t. They have made an aggr**ment with a Darth St***. Name is ****
Repeat his name ** Legion!"


"Legion!! It was worse than he feared.. If Legion was involved then maybe the Assryian was also.."

The Queen did not know of his vampyre side.. and Dalamar did not want to tell her now. In the beginning she was to young and it would almost seem like a betrayal for her to find out now.

He turned with his back to his Queen lost in thought. He worried more for her safety now more than ever.. Legion was cunning and a cold blooded killer. He would hurt her. Dalamars Fist clenched at his side. NO, he would find him first and end this chase started by the Assyrian..

He turned to his Queen. "I know this man Legion, my Queen he is very dangerous. Very! Please keep your guard up at all times. We cannot afford to lose another Basillie."

[Adraudia Basillie]

"We?" she echoed. "No. The people on Onderon cannot loose another Basillie."

There was something hidden in Dalamar's voice. Something about Legion actually frightened the General and his confident voice betrayed his doubts. For once, Adraudia was uncertain if Dalamar could handle this threat.

"What must I know of this Legion in order to better protect myself?" She was taking this threat seriously. If he managed to slip past all the defenses of the Palace, she would have to be ready for a fight, and perhaps Salem's teachings would be tested sooner then expected.

[General Devious]

Adraudia spoke calmly "We? No. The people on Onderon cannot loose another Basillie."

"What must I know of this Legion in order to better protect myself?"

Well there it was, wasn't it. The Assryian had JUST begun to play with you and already he has pushed you into a corner you didn't want to be in.

Dalamar's thoughts raced like quicksilver. The Queen knew that he could control the force. But she thought that he only dabled. Not that he was a former Dark Lord of the Sith. How would she take to knowing that? Moving an apple to her in the Dining Hall was one thing....BUT this.. She just wouldn't understand.

How could he tell her that he had lived a dozen lifetime's before she was ever born. How could he tell her that she was the light in his Dark soul. That helping her grow up had tamed his raging bloodlust. That the friendship of her and her father had made him less of a beast and more of the man that he use to be.

That there where Dark, Dark time's in his past when he had commited atrocitie's in the name of the BLOOD, and the POWER. It was OLD, he was old, so old and the weight of the years sometimes haunted him.. He would not let them haunt Adraudia.

He would deal with Legion..BLOOD for BLOOD. But still Adraudia's question lingered. The General didn't know what to say. He decided to keep to the truth as much as posible. "He works for a man that I knew before I came into the service of your Father." Dalamar paused... not knowing how to continue. "He was cloned, created and bred to be a killer. Another pause. "He think's that I had a hand in his creation."

He waited, now the inevitable questions would arise...

[Adraudia Basillie]

Adraudia's eyes narrowed, sensing there was more to the story then what Dalamar was telling. He was normally quick with his speech but now the Queen noticed the General thinking over his words carefully around her. She had never seen him so secretive before.

"Well," She couldn't believe the words that were coming from her mouth. Adraudia was thoroughly confused. "Did you? I had not thought of you as a man of science. Unless, you assisted this being's Master."

She pause and then asked Dalamar bluntly. "Did you once work with Legion's Master for him to presume such things?"

[General Devious]

"Well, Did you? I had not thought of you as a man of science. Unless, you assisted this being's Master."

Then the next question that Dalamar dreaded."Did you once work with Legion's Master for him to presume such things?"

Dalamar sighed then answered. "I had no hand in his creation per say. But he does have a reason to hate me. Part of my D.N.A. is hot wired into his system along with about 30 other killers, genius's, tactician's. He was made to hate me. To believe that I had a hand in his creation. He was created to kill me."

He let that fact set in then told her the part he dreaded... "In an effort to hurt me he will try to kill you. I will not let that happen."

"As for the second part. Yes I worked with him long ago (An understatement Dalamar thought to himself.) But I did not approve of his methods. He eventually lost favor in the court and has never forgiven me for it." Dalamar clenched his fist from his own anger at the past and the unbidden memories that boiled to the surface.

"Its a blood fued stretching back to before I met your father and changed my life here on Onderon."

[Adraudia Basillie]

Adraudia sensed the General's anger and walked towards his side, saying nothing. She also sensed that he was still keeping something her, a very subtle truth, but Dalamar hide that well. She couldn't begin to hint at what he was hiding.

Whatever it was, the Queen believed him and took his armored hand between her delicate ones, "I am sorry your past has returned to haunt you in this fashion. Is there anything I can do for you, my old friend?"

[General Devious]

"I am sorry your past has returned to haunt you in this fashion. Is there anything I can do for you, my old friend?"

Dalamar smiled. She was still thinking of others. "Just stay alive, Adraudia, just STAY alive..." Dalamar's anger slowly melted. He had Sting and Nyloh already on the case. Soon Bullet would be deployed. The Death Watch troops where deployed thru out the city. She would be safe. We would just have to be careful..
