Paymon smiled and took the cred chip,"Thank you.."he sighed and walked over to MCD,looking down,he reaches for MCD's hand,and took back his rings,then stood,and looked back at the others,unsure of what may progress,he looks to Zairon and also speaks,"You've done a good job tonight..Zairon."he looked to his nephew,feeling his uneasy feelings,he sighed and looked at him,"I feel the conflict in you.."He snickered,"The darkness always prevails,Luke..even when it fails..the light always cast a shadow.."he grinned and looked away from him.

"Glad I pleased you my lord." He says with a bow, "There was a reason you chose me to be your number one knight." He says as he deactivates his lightsaber and clips it to his belt. "It's good to have you back."

Luke didn't respond to Darth Paymon, only shook his head. He bowed to all of them. "Welcome back Lord Ire. I hope your return brings some stability to things in the RGE. If you don't mind now, I'll take my leave now that the mystery is solved." Luke headed out of the throne room and towards the field where his Stealth X was hidden.

Ire seemed to chuckle slightly, ammused at all that had transpired. He never thought that things would progress so slowly but knew things would turn out in the end. Looking on as Paymon reclaims his property from the lifeless body of MCD. Ire calls the blade that Zairon deflected away from MCD and returns it to Mathias. "You didn't know any better, I doubt Cilla knew. Don't be so hard on yourself Mathias, you proved your loyalty to me, even though you were misguided. But that is another matter..."
MCD then turns and looks at MCD's body, he turns back to Mathias and points to MCD lifeless husk. "... and have your guards throw that in the trash compactor."

Paymon turned and vanished into the shadows of dark and death,his force presence vansishing with him.

The next day...
Ire is in his thrown room surrounded by Tuulk, Kommisar and the Council of Moffs as they bring him up to speed on all that has happened since Ire died dueling Paymon on Ziost. As it turns out, MCD did a rather good job at both convincing people he was Ire and running the Empire. Ire looks to all those in attendance about to announce something to them.
"Gentlemen, seeing that this has all transpired under your noses, not that I'm holding it against you, I will be bringing some new blood into the High Command."
"What do you mean, Lord Ire?" Kommisar asks in amazement. "Who is this new blood?"
Ire gives a silent chuckle, knowing Kommisar would probably be the first to say something. "The High Command was completely unaware of this impostor and followed blindly. While is some instances this would be a good thing, this was not the case."
"Who are you bringing in, milord?" Tuulk again asks Ire.
"Someone who I can trust with my life, Admiral." Ire replies.

Zairon walked into the throne room curious why he had been summoned. As he entered he saw the High Command gathered with Ire. He took a knee before Ire and the other members. "You summoned me, my lord?" He asked.

High Command parts as Zairon enters the room so Ire can see his favorite knight kneel. Ire rises from his seat and begins to walk down the steps towards Zairon. "Yes Zairon, I did summon you. Rise."
Ire stands before Zairon, his shadowed face not showing his emotions, with a great deal of respect for the young Knight. Of course, he doesn't let Zairon know this for fear it might swell the knight's ego beyond recourse, what he is about to do will show him that very respect.
"Milord, are you serious?" Moff Swatis asks as he looks on in shock.
"Deadly serious, Moff." Ire replies to Swatis before returning his attention back to Zairon. "Do you remember what I told you about the rewards for failure and success were, Sir Zairon?"

At Ire's command to rise, Zairon stands up. He hears Moff Swatis, but doesn't turn to face him. Lord Ire was speaking to him and so Lord Ire had his attention. He was confused as to what was going on.
"You told me that success would be rewarded greatly, failure would be rewarded with great pain." Zairon says after taking a second to recall.

"Correct, Sir Zairon." Ire responds to Zairon's right answer. "You saw through the ruse, you knew something was wrong about... 'me', and you did everything you could to bring it to light. Such loyalty, determination and cunning can't go without reward."
Ire says this and then goes and sits back on his throne; he rests his head in his closed fist and looks down at Zairon, his eyes narrow as if trying to remember a key fact about him. "Your family was royalty, was it not?"

"A reward isn't necessary my lord. I simply did my job."
Zairon nods, "Somewhat, we were lower nobility, my lord. We weren't kings or queens, but our family was the right hand of the empire and was responsible for supplying the head of the Imperial Knights, the Emperor's personal guard." He answers confused as to what is going on, but keeping his confusion at bay.

"That is about to change," Ire says to Zairon about his lineage. "Lord Zarion."
Some of the High Command do their best to stifle their sighs of disagreement while others stay completely quiet, namely Tuulk, Kommisar and Swatis. Ire looks at them with a glare of disapproval at their groans and silences them quickly. What was next to come however might take more than a simple glare. "Last night I had my droid Trixie send a message to the Senate, the Empire was to be reorganized... slightly. I am giving up the position as Executor of the Empire, you are now Executor of the Empire... Lord Zairon."
This comes as a shock to those in the room, especially to Tuulk and Kommisar who had been with Ire for many years. Kommisar is the first to respond to Zairon's appointment. "Milord, you can't be serious, your are turning over control to him?"
"Not at all, Remus. I have re-instated the rank of Emperor and will be taking that for myself." Ire replies with a cool but cold tone, he doesn't like people questioning his decisions and silently decides the next to do so will be fed to a swarm of piranha beetles.

Zairon's eyes go wide. Not much would cause him to show visible surprise, but that declaration had done so. "Are...are you serious?" He stammers. "Executor?" He is shocked. "T-thank you my lord...ummm, what exactly does this mean? What am I to do?"

"You are to handle things for the greater good of the Empire, Lord Zairon." Ire responds to the new Executor's inquiry. "You will be my right hand, my fist that reaches out across the stars and brings order to the galaxy. You will answer to me alone and you will a place within the High Command."
Moff Crost lets out a sound of disapproval and Ire notes it, once this meeting is done he will have to appoint a new Moff to the Council. Continuing to look at Zairon and offers him an alternative. "If you think that's too much, I could always make you a low-level Moff. What say you Zairon, do you accept the appointment as Executor?"
