"Agony, cold unrelenting misery. I am alone, and nothing matters. Not the teachings of my masters, not the stupidity of the separate Orders. Not even the ideals once espoused by Ruin and my father. The embrace has worn away the man who went by the names of Jacen and Rezak. The pain has become a part of who I am."
Hidden on Empara, Darth Rezak has been placed in the Embrace of Pain (a Yuuzhan Vong machine that can be used to torture a human) as punishment for his disobedience and past betrayal of his master. These posts are what he goes through as he is embraced in pain's sweet embrace, without the hope of surrender.

In reality, Rezak's form twitches as the energy of the Embrace of Pain courses through it. Seemingly lifeless, there are no taunts and there is no time for madness. Every moment that one spends there is filled with horrible and unrelenting pain.
"In the outside world, Ruin can be seen standing near the operator and guards in the room. He merely watches, enjoying every twitch, every seemingly futile move to scream from the physical agony. Yet I persist, beyond the agony that my body is feeling, I rise against it, a current of hatred so strong that it threatens to overwhelm everything."
"I am here, and I want out. LET ME OUT!" I scream inside my own head. "I will kill you Ruin, and bring about the prophecies foretold by Bane. I want your blood on my sword, for you will die gasping for breath old man!" I rage against the energy that comes flooding into my awareness. "Let me out," says the darkness that lies within.

Only a few hours have passed in real-time, but in the embrace it can feel like days. As Rezak's form stills, it becomes apparent that no amount of power channeled through the device will fully break him. He grimaces, twitches and softly moans, but it doesn't tear down the walls of his mind. Doesn't break down his sense of self and anger.
"I am free," says the softly spoken voice filled with rage, "I am and will be the one to break my enemies. RUIN, YOU WILL FACE ME, HERE AND NOW!" I scream through the Force with all my might. Come, let me finish what I started those many years ago, fall upon my blade so that I might taste your hearts blood!"
Bloody sweat comes upon Rezak's brow and arms as he struggles against the thorns of the embrace. He thrashes against it, gaining strength to his small connection with reality. He suddenly grows still, though, and begins to mumble something in the Sith tongue.
"Strength is mine, it will not be taken away from me. Power is there for me to take, no one will pretend to wield it against me. My rage and my passion fuel my desire for life and no one, NO ONE will lay claim to what is mine!!!" he screams inside his mental fortress.

Rezak's form grows motionless as Ruin watches him. He senses the return of his comrades, and feels satisfaction in knowing that his master will fall.
"It's time. I will rise once again, no one will lay me low again. I am free, free of the constraints imposed by the Sith and Jedi, free of the laws which they desperately hope will turn back the tide of chaos and darkness. Freedom is mine, and you will not stop me Ruin, you will not stop me."
Rezak awakens slowly, and after Darth Ruin has left, he bides his time to destroy the soldiers who are tormenting him.
