Maximum Brevity Series 5: Hard 'nough?

Being a bit more leninent this time: You have 750 words.

However, you may only use 25 letters of the alphabet: you will be doing without the letter 'e'.

The brief is a little different to what we've been doing.

Andrelious has summoned you. As you enter his office, he greets you with a glass of Tihaar, before asking you...

"Without going over 750 words and without using the letter 'Esk', in any way, explain to me why reaching the rank of Dark Jedi Knight meant so much to you."

(For those lower than DJK, explain why it WILL mean so much to you. Just do it from a future PoV or something. Just don't use 'e' anywhere in your entry. :P)

Arcona's Krath fought on. A voracious bunch, famous for wisdom and valor. Knights and up, a company all could aim at. For Coruscant's son, an Anzati through and through, a high bar. Not war, not mortality, not attrition. Nothing would stop him. Too proud for that, too ambitious. Knight, it would fall to him. In that passing, that victory, triumph would do. Only triumph. Only Knight.
