Once upon a time, there was a wonderful sith apprentice who was admired by everyone who met him- especially his master. He had thought him such a good little sith that he had made his apprentice a lovely little green cloak, which he wore all the time and from then on he was called Little Green Sheev.
One morning, his mother said to him, "Come Little Green Sheev, here is an ancient sith artifact and a sith holocron. Take them to your master- he is bored and lonely and these will make him happy. Go before the Jedi wake. Remember to walk carefully, you don't want to activate the holocron and don't stray from the path."
Little Green Sheev set off along the path after promising to be careful. Darth Plagueis lived on the other side of the planet, so he had to taken a speeder. He set off along the path. He was in the middle of a thick forest when a nexu jumped in font of his speeder. Little Green Sheev was still a young apprentice and couldn't sense the danger of the creature.
"Good morning, Little Green Sheev," the nexu said.
"Good morning, Miss. Nexu" Sheev greeted the feline.
"Where are you off to?" she asked.
"I am off to see my Master!" Sheev beamed.
"What's that in your basket?" She questioned.
"Just some sith artifacts for my master, he has been very bored lately," He replied.
"Oh, how sad. Where does your master live?" asked the Nexu.
"Over the hill at the edge of the forest," he answered.
The nexu smiled thinking about how a little sith must taste, probably nicer than an old sith, but sith are dangerous creatures and she would have to be careful.
The nexu prowled along next to Little Green Sheev's speeder, "Oh don't those bones look nice, I am sure your master would appreciate some. Oh, aren't those trees so evil looking today. You should take sometime to admire the beauty of darkness and collects some bones for your master." Little Green Sheev looked at the sky, he still had plenty of time and he was sure Plagueis would appreciate the extra gift. He hopped of his speeder and walked over to the side of the path.
The nexu smiled at her plan and ran off to Darth Plagueis's house.
Little Green Sheev had collected so many bones by the time he realised it was getting late. He had strayed further from the path than he had first thought. After a few minutes later he had arrived back at his speeder. It wasn't long before he reached his master's house. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Little Green Sheev" he answered.
"Come in my apprentice," came the reply. Sheev pushed the door open and walked over to his master.
"Oh master! What a big tail you have!"
"All the better to balance with, young one."
"Oh, what many eyes you have master."
"All the better to spot your mistakes with."
"Oh what a lot of quills you have!"
"All the better to scare the weak with."
"Oh what big teeth you have!"
"Are you stupid?" came the reply. Sheev stood back as his master rose from his bed and pulled off the nexu's skin that he had been wearing. Little Green Sheev's eyes widened in shock. "Come on, you are clearly not ready to even think about being a sith lord."
