Everything sat in Sebastian's belly in such a way that he somehow managed to feel it along the back of his skull as well as his feet. Feeling sick to his stomach and fighting the urge to hurl. The man also felt as if his feet would weigh him down through the very floor of the ship while the pressure in his head made it seem like he'd be sucked through one of the air vents on the ceiling he passed by every now and then. But, his face was tight and his eyes were nigh narrowed so that Sebastian might express a notable measurement of intensity, while on the inside he was an anxiety, stressed, and depressed mess. Still though he rode a high unlike any other he had achieved thus far in his lifetime, after all defeating the likes of General Grievous in true one on one combat was nothing to just glance over.
And with that victory came so much more which not only included power, but...a burden. On his shoulders now was an entire faction, a chunk of the galaxy was loyal to him and his new....
SITH CONFEDERACY!
Constantly reminding himself of his growing skill, power, etc. along with his achievements the new Dark Lord of The Sith did his very best [as he always did] to stave off these negative feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. Focusing on looking tough or pissed off helped in that it gave him a primary goal at all times at least when around his fellow Sith loyalists. And already some of these most loyal followers were out sowing his seeds, since the very defeat of Grievous actually from starting takeovers of "key" planets or assassinating former Confederate council members like Shu Mai. With his mind full and frantic like the inside of a wasp nest Sebastian too had to focus on his stride down the brightly lit metal hallway he was making his way through. Rounding a corner and keeping a calm pace, not too fast nor too slow, he nonetheless put power behind each of his movements to further express his...power. As he'd round another corner though an all too familiar sensation along his left arm would steal his focus and in an instant his gaze would fall upon a light blue glowing figure.
" Today is your day Sebastian Ivar Kade, the true Dark Lord! But, more importantly it is the Sith's day! Our return, our rebirthing into the galaxy!
This incident will go down in the history logs as unprecedented! "
Though Sebastian didn't pause in his step the man obviously gave his Sith Mentor his due notice, even nodding in acceptance of the deceased's claim. Despite this the Dark Lord would remain silent, letting Ludo continue to...ramble or so he felt as such, while Ludo had much to offer and teach Sebastian the latter could not deny the former's ill intent. Until they got closer or Sebastian felt as if he could actually trust Ludo beyond being a teacher and student relationship, he'd have to careful least he lose the benefits of the Sith Amulet altogether. Perhaps one day Sebastian might prove capable of wrestling control of the Amulet from Ludo's spirit, taking the power for himself. Or perhaps one day they might find kinship and equal ground where they could agree that the galaxy at large needed an iron fist to rule it, to keep it safe. But, Sebastian was no violent tyrant and he had standards, lines not to be crossed.
Yet, now the man indeed had the burden of the Sith Confederacy along his shoulders/back and was not what was best for the people not best for him?
By time Sebastian snapped back into focusing on reality the man would realize he was stepping through hissing doors as they opened up to reveal a third story platform along the wall of a massive hangar bay. Along the platform and near the railing would be various guards, from specialized droids, to Sebastian's most trusted Acolyte brethren and as the Dark Lord stepped out the view of everyone else would grace him. The hangar was huge, but it was nearly packed tight with vast numbers of soldiers both droids and organics as well as various officials and the like. Anyone who was important in the CIS was there along with anyone who was anyone and had managed to worm their way into the event for Sebastian had open arms for his people. Finally coming to a halt and resting his hands along the railing, tightening his leather bound fists around the metal bar so fiercely that it'd audibly irritate his gloves. Along the platform near Sebastian would be small audio receptors and amplifiers while elsewhere there would be speakers all set up for the Dark Lord's speech something the man felt like he wasn't set up for in the first place...But, he had to be. And if he didn't do it now then he never would.
" You're all here for one reason....The Confederacy of Independent Systems has fallen, it's former leaders or council members either with us or they are no longer with us, one way or another.
The galaxy is a storm right now, chaotic and messy...But, the Confederacy lives on and will seek to be the eye of this storm, the calm that rules all for the betterment of all! Surely, you have all heard the news of Sheev Palpatine being a secret Sith Lord, a Dark Lord of The Sith even. This has brought things to light such as the likes of our own Count Dooku, secretly Darth Tyrannus, being his Apprentice. Yet, while the latter was indeed a true Sith, Palpatine was no Dark Lord nor a true Sith, merely a pretender.
It is I, Sebastian Ivar Kade....Darth Validus who stands before you this day as a true Sith....The Dark Lord of The Sith CONFEDERACY!
The Sith Confederacy shall lead the entire galaxy into a new Golden Age of The Sith where all will prosper beneath a benevolent guiding hand....MY hand.
And with the Confederacy living on through the Sith many things shall remain the same, the Separatist Council will be folded into a newer Dark Council. Similar subgroups face similar fates, but what is to take priority will be stepping away from our reliance and abuse of non-organic beings. The droids of the Sith Confederacy are to be considered equals to any organic, we are Brothers and Sisters in arms for a cause, the true cause! We shall bolster our forces with pools of organic individuals while offering non-organics various new roles outside of combat roles as well. This has already started thanks to the aid of General Grievous whom aided the Kaleesh on Kalee affording us new soldiers right away!
It is together that the Sith Confederacy shall reign supreme! "
