Prologue
"Now she looks like you," an older woman said to a young lady in purple robes. The young lady, however, could not see for she was blind, but she felt the other young woman's face with her finger tips.
The blind woman had jet black hair and black eyes, but the pupils were cloudy. Her name was Lady Kenina Daube who lived on the planet Coruscant and she was the blind heiress to a vast fortune. Unfortunately, she was the target of someone who wanted the Daube fortune and she had escaped from numerous assassination attempts many times.
However, her advisers were certain that she won't be able to escape the next attempt. So, it was decided that an impersonator take Lady Kenina's place and find out who was behind the assassination attempts. Lady Kenina was to take refuge on the planet of Corellia and make no contact with anyone close to her, not even her half-brother, Tytus Daube.
The woman who would masquerade Lady Kenina was called Tierra. She was part of a protection organization that specialized in secrecy and other sorts of detective work. Tierra was as beautiful as the woman she promised to protect. She had jet black hair and black eyes, but she had to apply an ointment to her pupils. It did not blind her, but it would fool other people into believing Tierra was blind.
Tierra went through periods of training, such as being blind and fooling others into believing she was.
"I wish I could see you Miss Tierra, but as you can tell, I can't," Lady Kenina said to her impersonator.
"You can trust me, milady. My comrades and I will find out and arrest who is responsible in these assassination attempts, but now, you must leave," Tierra replied and one of Lady Kenina's handmaidens led her away.
Awhile later, Lady Kenina no longer wore any elegant clothes, instead she wore rags, including a cane, and her trustworthy aid also wore saggy clothes. This was to fool the people on the space porter into believing that Lady Kenina was no one special.
The space porter left Coruscant and headed out into space to Corellia.
Back at Lady Kenina's apartment home, Tierra was now addressed as the heiress. "Milady," one of the handmaidens said, who did not realize that it was an impersonator, "I am worried, are you sure you want to go to the party tomorrow night?" the maid asked.
"Don't worry so much, as I am well protected and I am certain that no one will recognize me in my costume," Tierra replied in Lady Kenina's voice. Tomorrow night, there was a costume party held by the Galactic Senate and it was for charity.
'If I am lucky, I will be able to capture this assassin and make him talk,' Tierra had thought and continued in her pretense of being blind, much like the real Lady Kenina.

Elsewhere on Coruscant, in a dark alley, the famed Duro bounty hunter, Cad Bane checked to see if his next 'client' was coming. "This idiot better have a good excuse for being late," he said to himself.
Just then, a hovercraft floated down in front of the alley entrance and a dark figure stepped out of it. "Good, you're here," the stranger said, but Bane spat at the ground.
"I've been waiting here for almost an hour," the bounty hunter replied, irritated.
"Let's not discuss about lateness," the dark figure said, "I need you to take out a certain person."
"Depending on this certain person, it will cost you," Bane replied.
"Ever heard of Lady Kenina Daube?" the stranger asked and Bane made a face.
"Who hasn't? And may I ask why do you want her dead?" the Duro asked, again.
"She is in the way of what I want. If you take her out, I will pay you 1 million credits, but if you bring me her head, I will make it 100 million," the stranger answered.
"Is there anything I need to know? Will she be having body guards?" Bane asked.
"All the ones she has hired are stupid, they'll be too easy for you. Do we have a deal?" the stranger asked, folding his arms across his chest. Bane featured a grin and held out a hand and the stranger shook it.
From the author: This is my first Star Wars: the Clone Wars fanfic, so be nice if I have written anything wrong. You're probably asking what both sides will be doing in the next chapter, but you have to wait.
