“ My hatred … ” The padawan murmured, trailing off as that incessant voice in the back of his head once more made itself known. Dooku swayed back and forth ever so slightly, as though he were caught in some sort of trance. This was not the first time that Dooku had heard this voice; the warmth and comfort provided by Master Yoda found itself drowned out by the darkness of the unknown presence within his mind multiple times over the past few weeks. Nothing worked to silence it, not even the mind healers.
