SUPER STAR DESTROYER SHADOW

The Dark One stood on the bridge of the Shadow, looking out into the void of hyperspace. He had been thinking about his earlier conversation with Lady Grisabella. An intrigueing woman, and seemingly familiar....
His thoughts turned to Princess Lanfear, the Emperor's spoiled daughter. Passing herself off as a young woman to the Rebels, she gave them the name Lani, and spied on her father. His fist clenched. She had betrayed her father! To whom she owed everything! Unwittingly, his thoughts strayed to another who had betrayed his father. Skywalker. Everything came down to Skywalker. Lady Grisabella had located Princess Kirjava at Skywalker's academy. The Dark One reached out with his senses, searching for Skywalker. Then he thought better of it, knowning how Skywalker would react, hearing from him. Skywalker. Skywalker.
"Sir?" the captain of the Shadow said, coming up behind the Dark One.
"What is it, captain?"
"Sir, we've located a small Rebel fleet, heading directly this way!"

A few moments later, the Dark One was in his private chamber. His eyes rested on a small, egg-shaped inner chamber. He walked quietly in. He smiled slightly, remembering other days, another such egg-shaped chamber, opening it, looking for privacy, to find that Princess Lanfear was already occupying it. This time, it was empty. He stretched his focus into the Rebel fleet. His mind touched first one person, then another. Skywalker was not among them. Someone else was, though. Someone quite intriguing.
Leia.


YAVIN 4

"What do you mean, 'heiress to the Empire?' Stormravyn--"
"Stormravyn? As I have said before, her name is Kirjava."
"Please." Stormravyn said quietly.
"Yes, Your Highness?"
"Let me make a deal with you."
"I'm listening."
"I will come with you...on one condition." "Very well."
"Leave my friends here. You say your Dark One is interested in them. Well, I will only come with you if they stay here."
Lady Grisabella thought for a moment. "In that case," she said, then turned to Jaina. "Deliver this message to your aunt, Mara Jade Skywalker. If you will do that, and insure that the princess will come with me, then I will leave you four here."
"Ok," Jaina said.
"Wait!" Tenel Ka said, "What are we supposed to tell Master Skywalker?"
"Tell him," Stormravyn said, then thought for a moment. "Tell him I've found out who my mother really is. And this part is for you four alone, my friends. I will contact you the very instant I find out who my father is."
"Don't leave, Stormravyn. Please reconsider."
"Tenel Ka, I have to do this! I have to know who I am!"
"You know who you are!"
"No," Stormravyn said quietly. "I know what I am. I need to find out who I am. Lady Grisabella, you can tell your stormtroopers that I am ready to leave."
"Stormravyn, won't you at least finish your training?" "Someday. Someday I will return, and complete my training. Someday. I promise. Goodbye, my friends. Goodbye."
She climbed into the specially modified 2-man TIE fighter belonging to Lady Grisabella, and then she was gone.
