“SITTING NAKED in his chamber and working on his healing meditation, Darth Vader frowned. There was a disturbance in the Force. He reached for it with the power of the dark side…
He could not connect with it, whatever it was.
Abruptly the sensation of a ripple passed.
The dark side still had surprises for him. Like a fire, it could warm or burn, and great care must be taken not to trip and fall into it. He had seen what extensive use had done to the Emperor; it had eaten away at him physically. But that would not happen to Vader, for he intended to master the dark side. He was well on the way. It would be only a matter of how long, of when, not if. And when he finally snared Luke, the process would go faster. Two powerful magnets would attract more of the dark energy than one. Together they would manipulate the Force quicker than either could alone.
So strong, the boy. Who could have known? Luke Skywalker—his son—might well be the most powerful man in the galaxy.
He allowed himself a smile, even though the expression stretched scar tissue and was painful. He could withstand pain.
He was the Dark Lord of the Sith, and he could withstand anything.”
