Revan had awoken, found her beloved son gone. Her anguished wails were heard throughout the Forge. Everyone avoided her, as she snapped at everyone. Even Sadow was wary of her. A mother without her child… is a dangerous thing indeed.
An 7-year-old Luke Skywalker sat in a classroom, bored out of his mind. That is, until his teacher announced today's subject. The Dark Lady Revan and the Dark Lord Sadow, the Sith Lords who ruled the galaxy.
The Dark Lady Revan had appeared out of thin air around 19 years ago, found by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker on a routine mission the Star Forge. She was in fact, a Sith Lord put in temporal stasis for over four thousand years.
Wow. Luke thought. Who could put her in stasis for that long? He raised his hand. "How was she in stasis? Like, a tank of something?" His teacher smiled, and shook her head.
"No one's really sure. But the briefing from Jedi Skywalker said it appeared she was merely frozen in place, and came to life when he approached her."
Lady Revan had left Jedi Skywalker, and entered the bridge to kill the Sith Lord there. He was Darth Malak, Revan's old apprentice from ancient times. After slaying him, she and Jedi Skywalker returned to Courasont. No one was aware of her true identity, as she played the part of a redeemed Sith. Several weeks later, the Chancellor of the Galactic Senate was revealed as Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord who had been attempting to rule the galaxy. He took a Jedi as his apprentice, Darth Vader, who was in love with Revan. Vader marched on the Jedi Temple, slaying all the Jedi there, save for Lady Revan. When he entered her room, she revealed her identity, and he pledged himself to her. She renamed him Darth Sadow, the Sith Lord who rules with her today.
Luke found this history fascinating. Revan seemed an interesting personality. A fascinating woman. He found he liked Revan's history more them Sadow's only because there was more of it. No one really knew anything about Sadow.
Lord Sadow was a Jedi. No one knew who he had been before he became a Sith Lord, and he wasn't telling. He was an excellent duelist, one of the best ever. His skill with the blade was legendary. While Revan was a manipulator, he was the killer. He led the legions of the Infinite Fleet, and was known a brilliant pilot.
Luke decided that someday, he wanted to meet them.
7 years. Revan was still searching. How. Why… Sadow entered the room, and blanched as Revan lifted her face.
"You were thinking about him, weren't you?" His voice was soft. She nodded.
"I miss him so much Ani, its like part of me is missing, a part…" She broke off. Sadow enveloped her in his strong arms.
"I know love. I miss him too." He looked up at the ceiling. "Damn you Kenobi! Damn you for taking our son away from us!"
A 16-year-old Luke Skywalker chuckled. He was striding down the street, headed home after buying a part for Uncle Owen.
"…Revan." He turned to look. He'd always found Revan and Sadow fascinating. Disturbing, but fascinating. "Those two are pure evil, mark my words." A new voice joined in.
"Blew up an entire planetary government. They refused to bow to them. So Revan ordered assassination of the leader. While they were reeling from that, and gathered at his funeral, Sadow bombed them all!"
The first voice replied, "They had no regard for the pain and sorrow they caused. No regard for life." The two walked away. Luke turned, and walked back down the street.
"…Sadow." Luke turned to see a news holo on. "Here ladies and gentlemen, we have an interview with the ruler of the galaxy, the Dark Lord Sadow!" The reporter turned to the man on his left. He glowered at the camera.
"I don't rule the galaxy. Revan does. I just kill stuff." The reporter shrank back slightly, as Sadow was fingering the lightsaber at his belt. "So you want to hear about the bombing of Derilia? Yeah, I did that. They wouldn't bow to me and Rev, so she killed the president. When they all went to his funeral, I killed the entire system of government. The planet belongs to us now. I don't see why anyone is making such a big deal out of this." The reporter looked frightened.
"But… But all those people! What about their families?" Sadow shrugged.
"What about 'em? They wouldn't bow to us, so I killed them. What's the big deal? It's just a few hundred lives, it's not like they were important or anything." Sadow stood and left. The terrified reporter fled.
Luke shuddered. Long ago he'd abandoned the notion he wanted to meet Revan and Sadow. They were absolute evil. They didn't care for human life, or any other kind for that matter. They didn't seem human anymore.
Revan was furious. Sadow was outraged. 16 years, and Kenobi still evaded them. Their SON was out there somewhere, and they couldn't find him. Lost, missing his parents. What lies had Kenobi fed him? Had he told them they were dead? Or… Sadow shuddered. Had he given him to some random family, and left, leaving no idea of who he was?
