Mind Twist

{Author's Notes: Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I wanted to address something, and that is the Point of Views within the story.

From now on, I will try my best to write in a Third Person POV when the First Person POV is unnecessary. To make it easier to know, I will be adding [Third Person POV] or [(Character's Name) POV] before the paragraph changes into that POV.}

[Third Person POV]

It has been five days since Darth Rathus has awoken to this new world, where he concluded that he no longer is in his Universe, since he knows nothing of the constellations that brightens this world's night sky.

With that Darth Rathus, truly the only Sith in this world and The Force being freer than it ever was. He took it upon himself, to declare to this world and The Force of his intentions. And so, he did, and the world could not resist his will, as it reverberated throughout the world.

With that declaration out of his way, Darth Rathus, has decided to take his first step, with no destination in mind. Rathus eventually met two adolescent siblings, Helga, and Bjorn, who he took as his own Disciples after finding out they have The Force.

Thus, he continued to journey with them freely till the fifth day, training them, developing whatever skills they can gain, and recounting stories of the Ancient Sith and the Sith Empire.

Bjorn and Helga can be seen, following behind their master. Within just five days, they have learned enough from him to truly appreciate and understand the greatness of their master and the Sith. Darth Rathus has not only taught them Sith history, the Sith language (Old Tongue) & the runic alphabet, how to fight, and how to survive. He taught them how to be smart, how to think correctly, how to be cunning, and how to develop their own emotions, suppress their fears and strengthen themselves.

{A/N: The Sith speech of True Sith, which sounds similar to Tolkien's Black Speech. Y*uTube Link in the comment of this paragraph for the speech audio.}

But the greatest of all gifts is The Force itself, every day they learned a new thing about The Force, and every day they get more enthusiastic about it.

Thus, the two siblings came to truly appreciate the gift that was bestowed upon them. And every day and moment of their lives, they tried to best each other, in order win their master's favor, which caused them to learn a lot in a span of five days.

[Darth Rathus POV]

These two have been doing great, working harder every day, just to appease me and earn my favor. It is good to have a competition between disciples, as this helps them improve far greater.

Their talent is great, but Helga's, is something else. She has a great affinity and talent towards Sith Magic, almost as much as I do.

Testing them each day allowed me to be enlightened on how I can train them well, and how to shape their path. So, they may use their talent to their optimal potential. With Bjorn still young, it is a bit difficult to ascertain how he will end up. But his path is somewhat obvious, the path of a warrior.

For the past two days, I have been circling around a certain area, and watching over a certain group, who I am sure to be bandits. By their way of dress, their manners, speech, and their actions.

And thus, I have come up with a way to start my plans, officially, and these bandits will be one of the keys to a new beginning.

Turning towards my disciples I speak out and say, "Today is your lucky day, I will show you another power that comes in quite handy."

They both look excited as this is a new opportunity for them to witness another display of power from their master.

Walking towards the group of bandits and eventually approaching them, I stand still as they notice me. Slowly they start to approach us, until they suddenly stop, noticing how I look.

"Wow, what do we have here… you are one scary looking guy…" The bandit in the middle chuckles nervously.

Bigger than the other bandits, wearing better armor, a sword made out of good steel, only conclusion, the leader of these ragtag's.

I have counted thirty-four of them, and to be frank, I have never tested this power on many people.

But to make sure this power is to be effective, I must destroy their mentality, make them but a husk, play with their minds.

Removing my mask, I hand it over to Helga who is on my right, still looking at bandits, I can see their eyes are gripped with fear and shock at my appearance, as they take a step back.

A grin adorning my face I say to them "This will be fun…", finishing what I have said, I rush towards their leader so fast, they could barely keep up.

It was too late for them to even do anything, as I grab the face of their leader with my right hand, and proceed to brutally invade his mind, extracting his memories.

His body starts twitching, his eyes go white and starts bleeding, his mouth foams, and his ears and nose also bleed. A side effect of this Force power.

In seconds I am done, his body falls to the ground, dead. Looking at the bandits, I can see they fail to truly comprehend what has just happened. To them, it looks like a demon has ended the life of the strongest person they know with no weapon at hand.

I send a Force wave that is meant to control and corrupt their minds, they are hit with it and start to hold their heads, trying to fight it, but alas, they have no resistance towards mind control, thus they succumb to it.

Eventually they stand up, looking as though nothing has just occurred. On of the bandits approaches me and from his attire I can discern that he was second in command, bows and then asks, "What are your orders, Master?"

Truly fascinating, what the dark side of the Force is capable of doing to those of weaker minds.

"What is your name?" I asks and he answers with, "The name is Staldrik, Master"

"Then this is what I want you to do Staldrik, get me a thorough report on the team's capabilities, the equipment and weapons, supplies, and the surrounding bandits camps." I order from him and even though through the memories I already know most stuff about what I asked of Staldrik, I have done this to test the capabilities of the bandit under the influence of mind twist.

Staldrik then bows and moves towards the group, where he starts to put all of them into formation dividing two groups into right and left, each group formation comprises of fifteen men and a single person in each group being at the forefront of the group. A total of thirty-two, and the thirty-second being Staldrik.

It seems even with the mind control; they still chat among each other as if nothing happened. Staldrik is doing far greater then what I have ordered of him, putting the bandits into formation and assessing each individual.

"Master…" I turn right to see both Helga, and now Bjorn with her, with amazement and fear in their eyes from what they witnessed. "What was that Master?" asks Helga with a questioning gaze.

"That my dear, was Force Mind Twist. Its effects were far greater, either do to my own strength or the fear of seeing their leader dying so painfully." I say and then continue by adding, "This power is far from your grasp, but one day you'll learn it, as it will come in handy in most situations, just like this one."
