Summary
Bastard child of a wealthy Imperial Captain, Ikarus Edgeday is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, bloodied-up masterpiece whose prodigious connection with the force has him locked into the fast track of a future he doesn’t want.
When his attempted rebellion impresses a prominent overseer and lands him in the Sith Academy, Ikarus decides that if he can’t escape the Empire’s game, he’s going to change the rules. Driven by his haunted origins, a lethal sense of command, and an unorthodox altruism, he is determined to fight his way to the top and make the most of his dreaded destiny.
Enter a meet-cute with a sarcastic alien slave in a grimy prison (or whatever you would call that) and we’re off! Hope you enjoy.
**This story is intended to follow (and possibly add insight to) the light-side path of the Sith Warrior story through all of the current SWTOR chapters. It is also meant to have some fun with the family tree feature that the game offers.**

Bookmark Notes:
11 - Edgeday returns to Baras, shards in hand. Baras knows he helped Klemeral, and asks for Edgeday’s opinion on what to do with Klemeral. He then assigns Klemeral to work in the prisons. Baras then gives Vemrin and Edgeday the news that he has chosen Edgeday to undertake the task of claiming an ancient lightsaber, and sends him to collect Vette. Knash says Klemeral never arrived at the jails, then hands over Vette.
12-Ikarus and Vette leave the jails, encountering some jeers and catcalls from other acolytes. Ikarus takes Vette to get food (Vette subdues a handstand acolyte along the way), and when she expresses concern about his motives, Ikarus shares part of his tragic backstory with her. He then has her rest in his quarters while he retrieves her weapons and a day’s worth of supplies for their journey.
13-Ikarus and Vette make their way to the Tomb of Naga Sadow. Ikarus stops Vette from rushing in and hitting killed, then they make their way to the secret entrance. Klemeral calls out a warning of Vemrin’s attack, says helping protect Ikarus is the least he can do for saving him, and is promptly killed by Vemrin. Ikarus and Vemrin fight, Ikarus wins and tries to heal Vemrin, saying he “is wasted on Baras”, but Vemrin refuses and begs for death. Ikarus kills him, but is disappointed by the wastefulness of the Sith. Vette congratulates him (which Ikarus interprets as flirting) and expresses confusion about his attempt to heal Vemrin.
14-Ikarus and Vette continue into the tomb. He opens the sarcophagus and claims the lightsaber. Before he can discard the jedi’s lightsaber, Ikarus feels an urge to keep it. The statues then animate and a fight begins. At first, Ikarus is able to kill several, but soon Vette has to join in. Even with both fighting, the statues are overwhelming, and Ikarus is backed into a corner with Vette. He turns and encloses her in a force shield while she continues to shoot the statues, and he is cut in the back when his shield temporarily fails, but eventually all the statues are killed. Afterwards, he and Vette head back to Baras’ office, where he becomes the Sith Lord’s apprentice. Baras gifts Vette to Ikarus, despite his protests that she should be given a paying job in intelligence or the imperial historians. Baras insists, and Ikarus impulsively force chokes and threatens him, but Baras quickly rebuffs the choke and redirects it against Ikarus. After Baras compliments Ikarus’ potential, Ikarus limps off to the medical bay.
