*Janus sat angrily contemplating The Dark Circle. For reasons unexplained, they had felt the need to remove him from their order....but they would regret it, oh yes. One day, when Janus had found his true power, and his true name, then Sedriss and his council would pay. Not that he was worried of Sedriss. Sedriss was a weak man, hiding behind his title, just so he could control those under him. He was undeserving of the name of sith! No, the one he feared was Draclau...Malice Draclau, one of the only 6 sith that he respected, and one of the only 4 still living. Janus punched the wooden wall of the large crate he had stowed away in. If his research was correct, this cargo ship would be headed for the planet of Naboo, homeland to Darth Sidious. The ship started it's decent onto Naboo.*

*The ship had landed, Janus still sat in his box as it was slowly lifted from its location, and carefully carried into the hanger. Janus had cloaked his presence, this mission was to be as descreet as possible. As the box was set down, he still sat quietly, waiting.... As he felt it get dark, he opened the box, and crawled stealthily out.*

*He was insearch of any items pertaining to Darth Sidious. He had always felt a special bond when learning of the man, and knew that if anything could help him, it would have to do with Emperor Palpatine. As Naboo had been his homeland, he thought it was the most likely place to find a Palpatine heirloom. But where to begin? He did not know the home town of Palpatine, nor could he just ask on a planet full of Jedi. This mission was gonna be harder than he had thought!*

Perhaps hard but not difficult.

A lone figure watched Janus step out of the wooden box, its presence shrouded by the darkside of the force. The lonely Sith known as Janus expected no one to greet him, but alas, someone did.

... though not so unfortunate.

Ah but how the figure did give Janus somewhat of a fright, spoiling the darkside devotee's own element of surprise.

The look of surprise on Janus face brought forth a whimsical laugh from the ominous being, the laughter fading after a short time.

Undeniably so... but it was no more than a frontage of a threat, at least where Janus was concerned.

"Greetings... Janus."

*Janus looked at the man.*

"I do not know who you are, but you may want to hide the dark force eminating from your being, we are on the homeland of the Jedi Order."

*Janus eyed the man.*

"Who are you and what can I do for you?"

A murmured laugh escaped the figure as he unexpectedly glided lightly into the air to hover.

"Hide??? A true warrior never fails to show his true self, Janus, especially in times like these. What is the fun in traveling about if you can't get caught?"

The figure presented a light disappointed sigh as he shook his head.

"Ah well, to each their own, I presume. Not enough warriors these days..."

The unpromising figure's words trailed off as he shook his head. He seemed to channel his thoughts somewhere else for a moment before absorbing his attention back onto Janus once more.

"It is not what you can do for me, Janus, but what I can do for you..."

"You've skipped the most important question my friend. Who are you?"

The hooded figure pondered over an answer.

"Who am I?"

His face couldn't be seen, but a thin grin did sweep across his lips.

"Not anyone you want to know... Besides, we're not here to discuss me. I came here for you, Janus. My time is precious; I'd be most displeased to have it wasted. You are in need of something, are you not?"

"Correct I am. But I doubt you would know where I could find what I am searching for."

*Janus eyed the Sith warily, he was not trusting this man.*

"We'll see... enlighten me, Janus, and then possibly I can enlighten you."

The figure had many secrets, but none of which would be of a danger to Janus, more of an assistance...
