As in the vision, pain swept through her body. Fiach could hear the muffled pulse of the lightsaber as it grazed her skin. Her hands tightened on the steering column. White-knuckled and trembling, she felt another presence reaching out to her from that dark apparition. Someone she cared for cried out in agony.
Gunning the landspeeder’s engines, Fiach struggled to shake the haunting apparition. Blaster fire echoed in the distance; and from the corner of her eye, she caught the movements of armed troops on the rooftops of the buildings that the city’s main avenue.
Since word of an impending invasion had filtered through the capital city, the situation had changed drastically in the last few days. Traffic jammed the streets – empty cargo skiffs headed north into the city, while scout troopers escorted skiffs, crammed with equipment and officers, south toward the spaceport.
Fiach ignored the chaotic scenes, her mind searching the vision for clues. Rising from her memory, the apparition materialised in her mind. He was a faceless renegade consumed by dark shadows that threatened to engulf her. At his feet, on the windswept hillside, Fiach could see a body. And beyond them, there was a tremendous thundering that shook the ground. What could it mean?
