The Legion Renewed
Chapter Twenty-Four
Luke entered the cave slowly, alone and weaponless, without even a lamp. The interior was dark, but he could see where he was going without light. The dampness and chill was both physical and Force-generated, but there were no secret demons for him here now. The monsters were all in his mind, and he knew them for what they were. But he had a need, and he hoped he would find the answers here.
A snake fell from the darkness around Luke's neck. He brushed it aside, but otherwise ignored it. His need pressed him on, into the deepest and darkest part of the cave.
Where the cave ended, he stopped. If this place held any answers for him, they would be here.
"What does it mean?" he whispered. Then louder, shouting into all the corners of the blackness, he called out, "The dreams! The visions! What do they mean?"
He waited; nothing happened.
The only reply he received was the echo of his own voice and the sound of a bat flapping its wings somewhere overhead.
