Oops, It's a Sith Lord (open!)

[ruleoftwo]

[Today, inside the Old City's catacombs, there's... something else. It isn't a Pokemon. It's a person. That, given the very existence of the Delvers, isn't such a surprise. However, it isn't a Delver, either.]

[Darth Sidious wears what a member of a secretive cult should wear: a cloak, hood pulled up to cover his face, save for the yellow glow of his eyes. It's more than Enlightened power that obscures his identity as Sheev Palpatine.]

[He carries himself differently. This isn't a grandfatherly man walking about; he stalks, wearing that thick cloak, and while he's slightly hunched... there's something subtly spry about how he carries himself. And the crackle of purple light surrounding him -- well, that's nothing like Palpatine.]

[Sidious stares at something on the wall, trying to make sense of it. A Golurk hovers nearby, huge arms crossed.]

I see how you grow tense. How you... hesitate. It does not become us. The Enlightened.

[Those eyes glow a little more.]

And how would you define justice?

[arachnocide]

[His own eyes narrow, before turning his head away]

My exact reasons are my own, and people here have a habit of meddling.

[The young man places his hand over the chains]

The justice I'm after - is to find the people left loose in this world to do harm, to bind and chained them in the distorted world where they belong.

[ruleoftwo]

They do, don't they.

[He laughs -- cackles, really -- at that.]

So you wish to stop those who would do this world harm. Do you think, then, that Union's... meddling... allows it to do this? Do you think they can bind these threats?

[arachnocide]

They have good intentions - but they might be too gentle in their execution.

[His eyes darted over to the tablet, trying to see what it was the cloaked man was examining]

[ruleoftwo]

Their gentleness will be their undoing. They wait until their enemies attack them. You have seen it, haven't you?

[The tablet's not much to write home about; an epitaph, but poetry instead of something revealing about the past.]
