Note: this story is a prequel to A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay!

Gather round, my little ponies because I'm gonna tell you the tragedy of Sacanas (well, it's more of a Tragicomedy than anything but the sentiment still remains) and how he came across his apprentice that you have seen in the previous story. It is also a story with mercenaries, psychotic jesters, and time travel (along with traveling to other worlds, of course).

PS: Yes, this story was partially (key word being partially) inspired by the Darth Plagueis novel so don't be too surprised as to how Sacanas' story ends. Also, since it's a prequel, don't be too surprised if it ain't as good as A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay! (although personally, I think it's just as good. Then again, I find Jar Jar's antics in The Phantom Menace to be amusing so what the Tartarus do I know?)
