  80. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The old woman’s act of defiance didn’t last long. An arm whipped out, knocking Kufa from her feet and the rifle from her hand. It went off once as it hit the ground, the bolt blackening the ice next to Dis’s head. In an instant a tentacle was around her leg, dragging her toward the creature’s maw. She grabbed a stalagmite in a vain attempt to anchor herself but the rock snapped in her hand, leaving a dagger that she stabbed into the monster’s flesh. It was no good. Dis was caught between the creature’s bulk and the tunnel wall, unable to breathe. Ro had vanished, crushed beneath the monster’s undulating body, and Kufa would soon feel the embrace of the cobonica’s serrated teeth. There would be no coming back for any of them. No regeneration. No renewal.

Dis closed his eyes and welcomed death.

CHAPTER EIGHT

The Coruscant Dawn

Stellan Gios’s lightsaber flared into life, the crossguard clicking into place. He had barely brought the glowing blue blade up into a salute before the fight was on, his opponent charging in, plasma blazing green. Stellan took a step back, calculating the swing of his rival’s attack. It came as he expected, and he blocked the blow easily, feinting back before immediately pushing forward again, putting the white-haired woman on her back foot. She parried, gripping her hilt with two hands, her weight kept forward. Stellan took another step back, using her momentum against her. She stumbled, but not enough for Stellan to disarm her. Good. He liked a challenge. The woman threw herself into a spin, her emerald blade arcing. The light itself would have been enough to dazzle any other opponent, but Stellan wasn’t just anyone. He was a Jedi.
