Darkness descended as the sky grew black. A fluttering sound echoed in the distant heavens. Almost sounding like cynical laughter, but not quite so benevolent.

Ravens.

Running for cover, I could just see her forming in the darkness. Her soldiers had been following me for weeks. At every turn they were there. In Marpock they were on every corner. In the mountain passes of Little Killamaser her birds were on every branch. After coming out of the high passes I hadn't seen any sign of her minions for days. Until I got to Shelio. How had they followed me? I had used everything you had taught me and more. Then I saw him coming out of a counting house. Dabbil Chalmys. As he looked at me his condescending smile turned rictus. He raised his hands as he begin to slowly chant under his breath. As I stopped I felt a cold seeping into me...Too late. Her Dark Holiness The Exalted Queen Revan was here.
