Helene felt a chill go up her spine. "Me?"

"Why not?"

"I never took the trials. They wouldn't let me because they were afraid I would fall to the dark side just as the rogue Jedi. Of course it isn't me."

"How do I know that? I didn't know your history until you told me."

"You sense the rogue Jedi now?" Helene asked.

"Of course. He, or she, is near."

Helene stared into Juno's eyes with the full force of her being. "I don't sense anything."

Juno laughed. "Your gifts are more limited than mine. Even the council cannot sense what I can."

"But I could sense a disturbance in the force just before Master Lucilius was killed, and afterwards, up to the point when someone from the council appeared behind me with his saber at my throat."

Juno suddenly went pale. "Someone from the council?"

"Yes. And do you know what he told me?"

Juno stared in silence.

"He said that you killed Master Lucilius."

Juno's eyes widened. "How do you know he was on the council?"

"I knew his voice. And I figure that, either there's a Sith Lord on the Jedi Council, or you are the rogue Jedi."

"I told you, do not believe what he says. And he is not a member of the Jedi Council."

"Then who is he?"
