Prologue: Nightmares

I'm lost in a wooded blend. I look around and see nothing but shrubs and tree trunks. I'm guessing it's the forest moon of Endor. "Master," I call out, "Master?" I hear some rumbling in the bushes, "Master?" I approach it with caution, I see a Zabrack come out of the bushes he has a long blade in his hands. His face is shrouded by the hood on his cloak. I only see a devilish grin appear through the darkness. He runs at me with his blade above his head, ready to strike. I scream and take off running. Almost every stray branch strikes my face leaving scars as I run.

The blood drips onto the ground and suddenly a river of red takes the place of the Zabrack and chases twice as fast. It sweeps me up and engulfs me in a split second. I swim to what appears to be the surface but I can't break through it, it feels frozen and I see the Zabrack walk onto it and thrust his sword into the ice, breaking it.

I begin to fall into complete darkness and reappear in the forest. I'm at the top of a tree, look out over the forest and see an outpost close by. A branch breaks under me and I hit every branch on the way down. When I hit the ground I feel paralyzed, I try to reach my lightsaber but my arms won't budge. The Zabrack comes to me and repeals his hood. His face is still blacked out but I can see his horns clearly in the light. He raises his blade and strikes. I hear a blood curdling shriek.
