Prophet.
For a moment there was silence.
Then Jedgar spoke in a hoarse whisper. "Who then shall command the Empire now, Master?" he asked.
Kadann continued his prophecy:
Eyes cannot behold the new ruler,
For the ruler is the Dark One of ancient times.
But from this day forth he speaks through me,
And I shall speak his commands to you.
Using a laser pen, High Prophet Jedgar burned Kadann’s words into a blank page in the book of secrets. Jedgar’s heart pounded as he realized that, with those few words, Kadann had just declared himself to be the true spokesman for the source of all darkness in the galaxy.
Spellbound, Jedgar looked up from the book and gazed at Kadann. The Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side continued speaking, with eyes half-closed, as if in a deep trance: Ancient relics of Duro shall you bring
To place at my feet and praise me.
In this chamber I will then destroy
All that is good in the Force.
Then Kadann’s voice became so soft that every ear in the Chamber of Dark Visions had to strain to hear him:
When the Dragon Pack,
Perched upon Yoda’s stony back,
Receives a visitor pierced by gold,
Then come the last days of the Rebel Alliance.
CHAPTER 2
The Dragon Pack on Yoda’s Back
"I have a bad feeling about this," said Han Solo, as he and Princess Leia spotted-a strange creature in the tidewater pool where they were swimming.
"Oh, Han, it’s just a septapus," Princess Leia replied calmly, swimming over to Han. "They never hurt anybody."
Leia and Han, along with Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Ken, and their droids, were taking a vacation on the planet Z’trop, one of the most scenic planets in the galaxy. They were on a tropical, volcanic island, where the septapus, with its seven tentacles and five glowing eyes, had approached them in the shallow water along the bright blue shoreline. Now it was swimming away as fast as it could go.
"A septapus once picked a fight with me, and he lived to regret it," said Han. "They can get really nasty when they’re hungry."
"That’s unusual, Han," Leia said, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "I’ve always heard that the septapus is a gentle species. I’ve never known one to pick a fight with anyone."
"Tell that to the one that tried to eat me," Han shot back.
"Eat you?" Leia exclaimed in disbelief. "Han, they’re vegetarians. They never eat anything but seaweed."
"Oh yeah?" Han challenged.
"Yeah," Leia insisted.
Han and Leia were due to report for a meeting on Mount Yoda, the secret Alliance base on the planet Dagobah. Han had hoped that he would have a chance first to share a few romantic days with Princess Leia. But somehow things weren’t going as he had planned. He had a bad habit of turning every conversation with Leia into an argument. Han found it hard to believe that just a few days ago he had been seriously considering marriage.
He glanced toward the shore, where Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca were teaching Ken, the twelve-year-old Jedi Prince, a technique of self-defense.
Leia climbed out of the tidewater pool and walked over to the Millennium Falcon, which was parked on the beach nearby. Just then Artoo-Detoo, the barrel-shaped droid, rolled down the entrance ramp of the spaceship.
"Tzzz-bnoooch! Bzeeeee-tzoooop!" Artoo tooted.
See-Threepio, the golden droid, walked over from a grove of trileaf trees. He and the two other droids, Chip and Kate, had been standing there in the shade to prevent their metal circuits from baking in the midday heat. "Oh dear, oh my," Threepio fretted. "Artoo says that he’s detected an Imperial vehicle. Look, up on that bluff!"
"It’s an Imperial Single Trooper Compact Assault Vehicle," said Luke, his eyes narrowing in the direction Threepio was pointing. "C’mon, Chewie. We’d better check this out."
"Hey, wait for me!" Ken exclaimed, as Luke and Chewbacca cautiously started up the trail that led to the top of the bluff.
"And me too!" shouted Han.
As they approached the Imperial vehicle, Luke
