"None, at the moment, Orn. Until everything is in place and settled, we relax and savor our newly expanded power."
"Well then, you made the right choice." I tell the child. "Don't worry about this, it is just a little something that makes me feel refreshed....in fact, You can have some if you want." I say as a smile of discovery spreads across my face.
I stare into the child's eyes with meaning. "I can see through you. You have always felt held back, underestimated, angry. You know that you are strong, stronger than your peers. You want more than what you have but no one ever lets you try to take it. You want superiority, acknowledgment, leadership, but most of all...power. You want to show everyone that you are the best, and you will be. Follow me, and you will be. I am just like you and look how far I've come! I control soldiers, I can intimidate with my mere presence! You can too, I can see it in you boy. You will be strong," I hold out my hand to him. "and I can guide you."
The boy looks at the extended hand.
"So... are you saying Lord Corruptus can't guide me? He's not holding me back. He picked me. I'm his favorite now. But, he did want me to learn from a good soldier, so..."
He folds his arms, paranoidly refusing to take Rez's hand.
"Whaddaya think you can teach me?"

"All he knows is cruelty, an iron fist and victory by slaughter. I can teach you to win peoples' hearts, make they loyal, not afraid. People will admire you and follow you to the ends of the universe. You will be a leader, not a tyrant."Emperor Inferno said:
"Lord Corruptus is only a tyrant over those who resist him. All those who join willingly love him and are loyal to him. Do you not feel true loyalty to our Lord?"
"Child, you are loyal. You can follow him if you think you should. But take my word, one day you will realize what you gave up when you decided not to listen to me."
He warned you, and now you have said something foolish. I hope you survive... Well, actually, I hope you DON'T, otherwise our new Sith Master is weak...
Both of you. I'll handle it. Corruptus already knows about the treacherous talk, and he will deal with it accordingly. And at the proper time, as he sees fit. Remember, the same holds true for Corruptus as the god of Christianity: the Lord works in mysterious ways.
"Follow him? We all follow him, don't we? He's our Lord. He told me to find a good officer to learn from. He told me a good soldier teaches differently than a good Sith. I don't really understand it. But I know I'm not leaving. Just learning from someone different."
"I like you child. I have one request though. If you truly want me to train you then tell me one thing. Would you be willing to die to save someone who follows you?"
"Wait... Lord Corruptus mentioned this... I don't quite get it... He said... if a follower dies, only one falls... if a leader dies, all the followers will fall... So..."
The child was clearly struggling with the advanced logic, but he was getting it. He, along with all the others, had been taught this kind of thing since they could walk.
"If I let myself die... that's worse for everyone than if a follower dies. No. I couldn't. It would be too selfish. Yes. I must live, not only for me, but for the Order."

"...I will train you child. I may not know the ways of the force but I can show you many ways to fight without it." I look off into space as if listening to someone who isn't there. "What is your name kid?"
