Prologue Chapter I: Dreams
The time is one standard month since the Rebel Alliance's crippling defeat in the hands of the Galactic Empire.
A beautiful young woman was casually lounging in the pilot's seat in the cockpit of her Corellian smuggling freighter- the Firefox.
A glass of Corellian champagne was casually eased into her delicate left hand. In her prosthetic right hand was her weapon of choice: one of her twin azure-bladed lightsabers. On her beautiful yet weathered face was an expression of turmoil, of pain, and of nervousness.
Her twin brother Riley had asked her if she'd been nervous with a gentle brotherly smile. She'd shaken her head 'no' in response. He sat next to her in the co-pilot's seat and leaned towards her, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin resting in his palms.
He reached over and gently kissed his twin sister's cheek. "I'm worried about you, Karen." Karen sighed and looked at her twin. "I'll be fine, Riley." Riley hesitantly nodded then rubbed her shoulder and stood up to go.
She closed her eyes. She thought back about everything that had happened in her life. Her parents' deaths, her being continuously chased from one end of the galaxy to the next. She often thought of one single thought: What would Mom and Dad say about all of this?
She pinched the bridge of her nose having felt a migrane growing. She gave a sigh as she thought, Will I ever stop being chased? Will my life end before that happens? Her migrane grew the more she thought.
She heard claws against the durasteel floor of the Firefox. She looked back towards the entrance to the cockpit to see a large, gray canine. My wolf. The wolf panted steadily panted as he made his way to sit at his master's side. Karen eased her lightsaber from her right hand before she reached down to stroke the wolf's soft silvery fur. She smiled as she looked at the wolf, who was continuing to steadily pant. He licked her hand with plenty of gentleness. Karen gave a soft sigh as she asked her wolf, "Cameron, do you think that the Empire will decide to stop chasing me in time for me to have a family?"
