Chapter 8-Questions
The faces...The eyes...
Then, darkness.
Jaina woke with a start. She had been having a nightmare. Yet she couldn't recall ever falling asleep.
She felt a strange sensation that she hadn't had since she was pregnant with Ralya, and reached out with the Force to calm the tiny, barely formed life inside her. As she did so, she felt Kyp reaching out to her with a question: What's wrong?
"I think I just had Ralya's dream."

"What do you think you're doing?" Ben Skywalker demanded of Brekk and Ralya.
"We need to see Uncle Luke," said Ralya.
"It's about Dashana," Brekk added.
"Alright, spill it," said Ben. "What's up?"
"Oh, um, nothing much," said Ralya.
"We're trying to find out who killed Dashana," said Brekk at the same time.
Ben gave them a stern look. "You kids stay out of it. It's a very serious matter."
"I'm not a kid!" Ralya insisted. "And I think the death has something to do with my dream."
That got Ben's attention. "What?"
"If we don't stop them, more Jedi will die."
"Stop who?"
"I don't know."
Ben paused, unsure of what to do. "What kind of a dream are you having that you think it's connected to Dashana's death?"
"Sithspit, Ben, stop asking questions and let me see Uncle Luke!"
"See me about what?"
Ralya turned to face Luke Skywalker and his wife Mara, who had just appeared. "My dream! My dream is connected to Dashana's death, but I don't know how! If we don't stop it, everyone's gonna die, and I want to stop it, but I don't know how!"
She was nearly in tears by the end of this speech, but continued in a whisper, "Aruna Ni was having the same dream."
All was silent for three whole seconds, and then everyone began talking at once. When Ralya was finally able to make sense of their words, she learned this: Aruna Ni was on Yavin IV. And she was dying.
