#revanite

🤔 - If they could have one question answered, what would they ask?

“Why does the Force hate us so much?”

An almost Kreia-ish philosophy plagues Xin ever since joining the Revanites and witnessing how dark some of its practitioners are. He has encountered the teachings of both Revan and Kreia and realises that the Force not only has a will but a malicious one that thrives on conflict, destruction and death. 

If he was confronted with a physical manifestation of the Force, doubtless he would ask it why it allowed beings to suffer, much like how an atheist in heaven might ask God why children can get bone cancer. To what end does that serve? What does it hope to accomplish by having Jedi and Sith constantly at war with one another, and by pushing the Revanites further towards tearing the galaxy asunder?

This is the one question he wrestles with and with every passing day, it seems, he is no closer to an answer. 

😵 - What could tempt them away from their goals?

Re-joining the Sith could tempt him away from his goal of striking “true balance” with the Force. The main reason he abandoned the Sith to join the Revanites was that he believed the Dark Side should temper itself with the teachings of the Jedi, something that the Order of Revan readily embraces.

However, after his initiation, he realises the reality is far different, that the beings that make up the Order are still too drenched in the Dark Side. After many years, he comes to regret his decision and wishes he could re-join the Sith where he surrendered his rank, titles, and all that he held dear, all because of something he believed in.

Amun Raa sat at his desk in the Imperial Diplomatic Services Offices.  He barely registed the assassin standing nearby and simply raised his hand, the Sith’s neck twisted at a horrific angle before crumpling to the floor.  He continued working as though nothing was amiss.  A Few moments later, an Hk-51 assassin droid entered the room.

“Master? Status update: All targets have been neutralized.

Amun Raa responded. “Thank You HK. Kindly see to it that this sith is disposed off.  Add him to my collection. I’m Growing tired of Ravage’s more war focused mandates, much less his aspiring and overreaching lackies.”

A feminine voice, sweet to hear interrupted him. “Perhaps goons would be a more fitting word. Ravage doesn’t really have your subtlety or discretion.” 

Amun Raa looked up at the beautiful blonde sith staring back at him. she approached the desk, as HK-51 took out its rifle.

“I don’t mean to interrupt. This clearly doesn’t concern me.  My name is Lana Beniko.  It was requested of me that I speak with you.  Some business about Corellia?” 

Amun Raa stood, and looked at the woman curiously. He pondered her for a moment.  Lana offered him her personal file. she continued speaking.

“It’s unfortunate you know. To think I had some rivals for this assignment. I found out my file had been doctored several times.”

“Is that so.  Well... as It stands, I am late for an appointment with Darth Arkous.  It’s really more of a business afternoon tea to discuss the empire’s plans for an invasion.  Please, join us.”

“I assume to take the measure of me yes? I’ve read up on your methods. You want someone familiar with the niceties of high society? I would hate to impose, but... perhaps you would be interested in a more private setting? I do not often host, but I would be more than happy to having a proper afternoon tea.”

Amun Raa smiled, “Are you asking me on a date Miss Beniko?”

“Lana will do fine, my Lord. I’d hate to impose on either your, or Arkous.”

Lana Departed soon after.

Several years later

Lana glared at Theron, “Frankly I don’t care what the Commander’s said theron. He has revanite leanings for one thing. For another he is both manipulative, and cunning, and he successfully manipulated Darth Marr into disposing of his personal rivals, while pretending to out revanites.”

Theron looked at Lana. “Why does this sound personal to me?”

“It is.” Lana answered coldly, and walked away.

Amun Raa watched from the shadows, and then entered the room.

“Guessing you were there the whole time. Care to answer my question.”

“Because it is personal Theron. I’m smarter than her. beyond that, it goes deeper than my past dealings with the Order of Revan. imagine Lana’s vast displeasure when she realized she could not outright have me killed for being a former member.”

Theron looked at Amun Raa. “I get the feeling You and Lana aren’t telling us something.”

Amun Raa simply nodded. “Well... no doubt she will spin a tale of emotional manipulation, lies, mistrust, and deceit. So, presuming she never mention it... we were briefly involved... a long time ago. Betrayal and deceit is in the nature of the sith. but not Lana’s. and not mine. So... our relationship was contemporarily simpler than other’s  I’m sure with her ending the revanite threat you can put two and two together.”

Amun Raa departed. and Theron furrowed his brow.
