And there is the Sith's first mistake - assuming that Garyn will be intimidated. Never enjoy it until it's over is a lesson he's learned the hard way through years of training. He can assess this young one already - arrogant, undisciplined, no doubt reliant on his Force abilities.

Suddenly the voices don't matter, the city doesn't matter, every impossible thing he has seen today doesn't matter. He is in combat. This is what he was born to do. He's drawn Ibani's warblade before the Sith has even reached the crest of his leap.

As the Sith's red saber hisses its challenge, Garyn's sword roars its own answer back. And the battle begins.
