- Prologue -
Many standard years were gone since Nomi Darklighter and her family secluded themselves to Dagobah. There were years of peace and solitude, only interrupted through occasional visits of their four children. Despite their doubts on Luke Skywalker's ability to train Jedi, Dash and Nomi had agreed when he offered them to show their Force sensitive offspring the ways of the Force.
The triplets were in the meantime 30 standard years old and their sister Tasherit, the nestling, was 29 standard years old. Nomi sat sometimes in the little cabin, while the rain pelted down and asked herself, where the time has gone.
Yes, it was peaceful in their self-imposed exile, but it was a deceptive calm.
