Iwan and I raise our lightsabers, preparing to fight the surge of Killiks about to attack. However, no attack comes. Instead, the Killiks step back and begin to quietly chitter among themselves. "Oh, stars and moons. Please tell me that actually worked."

"It did... sort of." I can hear them speaking in my mind as well. I am still partly joined, but the hive mind isn't trying to force itself on me anymore. "The nest is... considering Jerus' words. They do not... want to lose us, I mean ME. They... need a Night Herald." My eyes widen as I realize I can finally say it. "They are going to invade Organa Lands. The Night Herald is... like their Chief of War. They hope that, by having a Jedi in the hive... it would give them the strength they have been lacking in... previous expansion attempts."

"Shit. So we're caught in the middle of a turf war between bugs are nobles. Tales as old as time."

"Can you redirect them? You're still Night Herald, right? Just tell them to expand in the opposite direction."

"I'll try. They are... considering replacing me." I look at Koraline. "I'm going back in. If I somehow forget who I am again, remind me." I allow the hive mind to take control of me again, though I try my best to keep at least a fraction of myself still awake. In my head, I command the hive to march in the opposite direction, away from Organa Palace and towards the mountains. "We... Oroboro will... delay it's invasion. But they request... a new bargain. The nest will release us, and call off it's expansion plans.... but in return, we must find them a new Night Herald. One who is willing... and able to lead their expansion army."
