Prologue: Fall of the Jedi
Her breathing was shallow and her head throbbed as she stifled back broken sobs. She couldn't believe her eyes as she watched her fellow younglings and apprentices being slaughtered by a brown mantled figure with a blue lightsaber. She prayed that he wouldn't sense her presence; that her location would remain a mystery to him through the Force.
Carefully, she shifted her weight within the ventilation shaft; she could see him directly beneath her through the grating some five meters below. She heard the man gasping and what sounded like quiet sobbing as he slew the Jedi: younglings, padawans, masters; it didn't matter, they all died the same way. She could feel the rage that flowed through him, the sadness and the pain pouring from him like a raging waterfall: powerful and uncontrolled, dangerous.
Yet there she sat, paralyzed with fear and unable to stop him. She heard the characteristic hiss of the hooded man's lightsaber closing down. Fearfully she realized that the traitor could sense her presence.
"I know you're there," she heard him say, his marble-smooth tenor filled with anger and sorrow. "Know this, child. The Jedi have fallen; however, I will spare you from death." He inhaled deeply, "I am Darth Vader; you would do well to remember this name." He looked up at her through the grate; his eyes burned into her with an unnatural, fearsome yellow. "If you take up arms against me, I will destroy you." He turned away, his cloak whipping about him. "You have had fair warning."
The girl curled her lip back in disgust. "Vader," she whispered to herself, anger and vengeance filled her being. "It is I who will destroy you." Her words permeated her very being, the very weight of them making her shudder in anger.
She sensed the hooded man's departure, feeling a whisper in the force, almost a cry emanate from the folds of his cloak. "You have had fair warning," she growled.
