A sudden wind blew across the room and a candle immediately became lit. A wizened man spoke as he got out his book, "Kyna and Jacuda were killed today while helping with the plan. It is four years since the departure from Coruscant and our galaxy is changing. We cannot stay here much longer." He opened the book and trailed his finger across the pages. Magically, words in an ancient language appeared as if they were following his finger.
He continued, "The ladies were dear friends. I am lost in knowing how to help their widowers. They know nothing of us or the plan. Perhaps best that I do nothing at present. I shall miss the ladies."
In his hand, he held two amulets with a semi-precious stone in the center of each. He gazed at his reflection as he said, "My dears, wherever you are, your thoughts must comfort them tonight. They'll be waiting…and you will not return." The amulets glistened as he put them in a chest. He closed the lid and patted it. He sighed, "Farewell…my friends."
Author's Note: Of all the prologues I've ever done, this might be my shortest one! I hope you like where I'm going with this. It's bound to get interesting.
