Chapter 59 Katrina’s nightmares began anew almost immediately upon her return to the Tri. They were never exactly the same, but the overall point/threat was consistent. Her unborn child was Palpatine’s new chosen conquest. Sometimes the child was still insider her at the start of the dream. Sometimes it was grown. Sometimes he/she sided with Palpatine, or at least suffered greatly. Sometimes she/he died for refusing him. More than once it was literally ripped from her. Lord Vader still made appearances in the nightmares, but usually he was silent and still, unhelpful and unfriendly. These were often the worst of the dreams. “You were better off denying yourself offspring. Now, you have a weak point to be exploited until you scream for the mercy of death, for both of you.” With these words she always awoke, sweating profusely and weeping with fear and regret. |
