The council doors opened once more for the second time since the Lupine darksiders return from Korriban. The first occasion had been the promotion of his apprentice Xavier Sadow to the rank of Sith Knight; however this second appearance would be much more important. He strode in accompanied by a figure, whom some would recognize whilst others would not. Though the two stood close, Vega stood a prominent position in front of his acquaintance – one Taja Loraan – with his gaze directed towards the Council.
“ Esteemed Council,” he began in a grating murmur, “And members of The Sith Empire.”
Vega folded his arms behind his back as he cleared his throat, casting a glance around the room.
“I come before you today with an important point to bring to your attention – my resignation from this organization.”
The Lord’s eyes came to rest upon the faces of the present Council members.
“My place is no longer here, but with the Black Hand. I will not explain my reasons for my departure, quite simply because I do not have to. My time here has been fruitful, and I thank each one of you who has benefited to my cause, but I no longer wish to call you comrades. All of you, that is, but one…”
On speaking this final word he turned to the seated figure which he referred to. The epitome of perfection in the Lupine’s eyes.
“Master,” he spoke the single word, “I may no longer follow the creed of the Empire but I request that I may be permitted to remain as your apprentice. If not this, then let me at least consider you my mentor…”
This said he paused a moment, then continued.
“To those who have trained under me, you are free to choose another Master if you so wish, or are forced, to. If not you may find me at a training ground on my home plant where you can continue your lessons. My home is your own, and you are free to come and go as you please there.”
Vega closed his eyes momentarily, and then opened them once more to look upon the faces before him.
“This is all I have to say. Unless, aside from the Council, any one else has anything to say, I will be departing as soon as possible…”
