Prologue- Lost in the Darkness

I cannot hide from the truth before my eyes

I cannot avoid the hell surrounding me

I cannot stop the pain that torments my heart

Blind is what I want to be

Darkness is all I want to see

Cold is all I want to feel

Death is the only thing that can heal

The wounds inside of me

I cannot hide from the blood of those I love

I cannot avoid the malice that captures me

I cannot stop the fiery rage within my soul

Blind is what I want to be

Darkness is all I want to see

Cold is all I want to feel

Death is the only thing that can heal

The wounds inside of me

I cannot hide from the evil of this world

I cannot avoid the black resolve that fills me

I cannot stop the hate that consumes me

Blind is what I want to be

Darkness is all I want to see

Cold is all I want to feel

Death is the only thing that can heal

The wounds inside of me

I'm helpless, hopeless, hateful, blind, and dead

I'm lost in the darkness, and only you can save me…

My world is dead. Coruscant is dead, the Republic is dead, the Jedi Order is dead, my wife is dead, my apprentice is dead.

Dead. That is my world.

I have no light, no hope, no love. I have only a lightsabre in my hand, and a fellow dead man at my side. We wonder through this dead world like ghosts without a grave.

Dead. That is me.

Why? Why did my world die? Because one man became so full of hate that he could not bear to contain it within himself. Because one man had enough bitterness and apathy to destroy all good around him.

Dead. That is what he will be.

Once I had a chance to kill that man. Once I had a chance to pursue that man who destroyed my world. Once I had a chance to save my world. I still have one more chance. And this time, I will not pause, I will not consider, I will not feel until the murderer of my apprentice, my wife, my child, and my friends lies dead at my feet!
