[Private to Count Dooku.]

I am ready to move forward.

If you think you can handle me.

[Private to Luke Skywalker & Kylo Ren.]

I made a speeder. It doesn't hover far off of the ground, but with the right propulsion, it could. Now I just need to account for atmospheric changes or we will suffocate before we get very high.

The Force could get us off the ground if we really needed to go that route. I need to know what kind of control you have and how reliable it is.

No one really thinks about it, but stars do die. I saw one once and I will never forget it.

[Ominous words, but that dead emptiness is always part of him.]

On that note, I do not plan to join them any time soon. If you come across...parts...of thugs, well, they had it coming, didn't they?

[It's times like this Sabriel wishes she knew how to make herself anonymous on the network. Her powers are known, and if this stranger tracks down her posts, he'll know that she's admitted to being a necromancer who puts down the Dead, rather than raising them, but hasn't said much about how the process works.]

A sorcerer who raises corpses and enslaves spirits. They claim to master death, yet are always consumed by their own power if nothing else kills them first.

[Keeping people from dying is the first step, but then... Bringing them back from the dead is the fail-safe. Anakin would do that for Padmé. She is all he has left; his love for her hasn't soured like his love for Palpatine/Sidious and Obi-Wan.]

Know any?

None here. I have seem the results of their work though. It's not a fate I would wish on anyone though.

Why? Surely being alive is better than being dead.

Re: text

[bindsthedead]

They're not alive though. They're in the world of Life, instead of where they belong, but there is a price to be payed for that.

[prophesiedone]

What price? It seems like it would be worth it to me.

[Sabriel laughs bitterly before she types her reply.]How cruel is it to condemn someone to an existence between Life and Death, stealing others lives to sustain themselves while losing their humanity, becoming nothing more than hunger, and a longing for life they can no longer have?

[prophesiedone]

Wait... Stealing the lives of others? They can't just...be alive?

Re: text

[bindsthedead]

All such things have a price. [Of course, under exactly the right circumstances, with a late baptism... but such secrets are best kept to as few as possible.]

[prophesiedone]

They don't have to have such a steep price.

I'll see to it.
