Unknown Regions Following days after Bloodline
Crawling down the dark corridors, Carth searches for his master who he finds in deep meditation.
Carth: "Master..."
The last words before the fallen Jedi succumbs to his extensive wounds.

Moments later a droid begins to prepare to preform surgery on Carth.

Morti: "You will survive acolyte, and you will learn from your defeat."
Carth lies in pain and he seethes in his anger.

Carth: "Stark...Stark..."
His mind races. Seeing all the events playing out in front of him.
He relives the moments of his past. The war, the battles, and his training.

Morti can sense something he has not since felt in the fallen Jedi. Something has changed.

Morti "Calm down. A Sith knows how to control their anger."
Morti can feel the power inside Carth. For such a young age, the fallen Jedi maybe more powerful than anyone on realized.

Morti: "You barely survived your encounter with your former master. I had the droid do everything to insure your survival. A Sith must learn when to sacrifice, Let this be a lesson to you."
Carth stands there with mixed emotions of shame and relief. Channeling his anger, Carth knows next time he will not fail.
I know this one is short but it really shows how Carth is something else, almost a whole new breed of Sith. I am excited to share his future.
