turned his back on the pack, knowing they had more than likely already alerted others. He needed to get away fast and luckily they had provided him with plenty of speeders.
    Though, perhaps the next pack would take heed and be more careful when tracking him when they saw what happened to the last men who dared hunt the Commander of Dolon Hall.
    Soros drove, heading for the Grouvelle mountain range without ever looking back. The wind whipped at him and the silence around him was broken only by the growling hum of the speeder’s engine. He drove a long time before a familiar sound reached him.
    Looking up, he saw the last thing he would have expected. There was a fighter on his trail that clearly belonged to the Union. On its own, that would have been odd enough, but there were Turian's ships following the fighter.
    Soros stopped, curious to see how the fight unfolded, but the ending was quick to come for the outnumbered Union vessel. A nauseating explosion right by its engine finished the chase, though the pilot put up a decent enough fight until that moment.
    With a grin on his lips, the warlord turned his speeder around and changed his direction, knowing he needed to ask some questions from anyone who survived. Curiosity was another thing he’d never quite managed to rid himself of.
    The cloud of fire around the fighter was making getting any answers exceedingly unlikely by the minute, however.
    If the tumbling, free-falling lump of metal about to crash not far from him could still be called that.

Chapter Six

Kat
    T he crew of the Dauntless hadn't taken the news well.
    Since they were the closest thing Kat had to a family, she let them voice their concerns before telling them she didn't care. Mostly their arguments went as followed: "We can't be this poor", "It's suicidal" and listing all the deeds either Soros or one of his students had done, of which there were many.
    Kat listened, knowing they were partly right, before shutting them all up. It was hardest with Evan who clearly had offered up the job as an unfortunate attempt at humor, meant to put her in a lighter mood.
    In the end, they were left hovering with the Dauntless over Hetton while Kat took her fighter down to the surface. She had agreed to take a few days to prepare herself, but that was all. Zoey Swann had said the matter was urgent and she understood that. To make her crew feel better, Kat assured them that if the task got to be too dangerous, she'd settle for confirming Soros' position and running like hell.
    The lie didn't make her feel any better, but their begrudging silence certainly did.
    At least they know me well enough to not argue for too long.
    In truth, Kat had no intention of abandoning the second half of her job. None the least because Soros interested her. A man like that was bound to be levels above the scum she was usually stuck with and despite the obvious danger, Kat couldn't deny that she enjoyed both the challenge and the prospect of meeting him.
    The image of the warrior she was looking for helped too if Kat dared to consider it. A picture had been added to the materials Zoey had given her, several years old now, but it was something at least. Ever since they'd set off from Gaiya, Kat had found herself drawn to the image again and again.
    The man on the photo was awe-inspiring to say the least. He was younger than she'd expected, having trained all those legendary warriors. Tall and strong and proud, yes, but she was absolutely mesmerized by the look in his eyes. There was such passion in them, and unbreakable severity too. It kept her in its hold, and every time she had to tear her eyes away with force.
    Soros was a living legend, one that she was more than anxious to see. In her years, so many great names turned out to be nothing but overblown publicity stunts, but all signs pointed to the fact that Soros was the real deal.
    As evident from the resistance she met on Hetton.
    Of course, Kat hadn't expected to just waltz onto his
