The Dark Academy on Korriban

“I did not expect to hear from you so soon,” Baras says as the image of Raven Torsin came up on his desk.

“It is done, my Master.”

“Good, she was trouble and now with her eliminated we have isolated the daughter. I had considered removing her but hopefully this should keep your son in line,” Baras replies.

“As you say, what of your other new mongrel you call an apprentice,” she says calmly.

“Now, now, my child, Layne serves her purpose.”

“My son was to be your only new apprentice, now you bring this mad mongrel into your plans. She is a liability,” Raven replies.

“Your son is a liability,” Baras retorts, “One I suffer out of need and as a favor to you.”

“Have me kill Layne, my son will learn and become your strongest apprentice.”

“You do not make demands of me,” Baras scowls.

“I apologize my Master,” she says with a nod.

“Good now return to Dromund Kaas and await instruction,” Baras commands.

“I apologize my master but I cannot at this time, but once I am finished on Corellia, I will gladly return,” she says with a twisted smile.

“Why were you on Corellia, I have no task for you there.”

“No, you didn’t but it is time we adjust this arrangement. I have moved the entity, she is mine now. Her secrets are mine, which means I own you Baras. Rage all you want but when you tire, you have my secure line. Keep your mongrel, but you will make my son your favored or I will destroy you,” she ends the call.

There was not much happiness in the land of Baras that night.
