Star Wars: Exiled/Chapter 4: Deal With the Devil

Sacor walked boldly to the desk where Saddoc was sitting, reading a datapad. Out of the corner of his eye Kellod noticed several guards on either side of the room. The High Priest looked up from his datapad and did not show any expression.

"Sit down." he insisted.

Sacor nodded and took a seat on the velvet chair.

"Let's get to business." Quantum said.

"Yes. I don't like to take time on such things High Priest." Sacor said.

"Please explain why you did what you did."

"You mean destroy the temple?"

Sacor saw Saddoc's fist clench just like he expected. He had said that just to irritate him. Bold text "Yes." Quantum grumbled from clenched teeth.

"Well, I eradicated that temple because there where hundreds of Huks in it."

"Go on."

"And if I allowed them to live they would have regrouped and defeated my army."

"So you decided to wipe away years of work to honor the gods!"

"Yes I did."

Quantum yelled and knocked over a lamp. Kellod did not flinch, in fact, he was very amused.

"Well that wasn't very smart." he commented.

"You think your so funny? You'd be unwise to mess with-"

"High Priest?" a speaker sounded from Saddoc's desk.

"Yes what is it?"

"Lesser Priest Hevlon is stuck in a riot High Priest."

"Ah I'll send someone to deal with it. Send the coordinates to my datapad."

"Yes High Priest." the speaker ended.

"Can I trust you with a favor?" he said to Kellod.

"What is this favor?"

"One of my Lesser Priest's is in trouble. I need you to save him."

"Why not send the other Lesser?"

"I can't he's on another errand for me. Besides I haven't made my decision yet, you could convince me to decrease the intensity of your punishment."

That got Kellod interested.

"Very well send me the coordinates."

"I already did." Quantum said.

Kellod got up and bowed. Quantum hev Saddoc smiled to himself as Sacor left.
