It was a lonely night on Ziost... the moon shone brightly, and the sounds of the vicious creatures could be heard outside even from inside the Temple walls. Belial was kneeling beneath the Black Altar, his sword Faust embedded in the ground before him, deep in meditation.
He had brought Desra's own daughter here, to this hellish planet... he had promised her the means to destroy her mother, and the might of the Dark Side. He had let her sleep as long as she needed to, not out of pity of her lonely life in the Shadowlands, but out of the need for her to be in top physical condition. Belial himself was a light sleeper, and always has been... he was actually growing impatient, waiting for Athena to wake up.
Next to Belial was a small box, containing the disassembled pieces of his old Lightsabers, Medusa and Hemlock. They would be given to Athena when she has proven herself.
