Synopsis:
The Sullustan mold farmers of Gelgelar have been
fighting the native Glarsaurs ever since settling there.
T'laerean Larn, a student of the Force, is determined to
do something about it. He merges his senses with a reeho
bird to spy on the enemy. When he discovers the
Glarsaurs are planning an ambush, T'laerean orders the
reeho back to his unconscious body so he can break the
meld.
The reeho almost makes it, but a Sullustan girl, Raenyn,
and her friend catch it in a basket. Raenyn's mother
takes her new pet away from her - it will be a meal for
Raenyn's father, instead! T'laerean coaxes the bird to
escape, but the reeho is recaptured by the girls.
Raenyn hatches a plan to keep the reeho as a pet. She
will hide it in T'laerean's room, where no one will look
because he is "dead." And as for his body,
Raenyn decides to bury him! Once more, though, the reeho
instinctively escapes, but now it will not obey
T'laerean's commands! It flies into Glarsaur territory,
where it is caught and eaten by a Glarsaur.
T'laerean is awakened later by his master, the Wise Man
of Kooroo. Despite his efforts, the Glarsaurs ambushed
the farmers, but they won the battle. And Raenyn's
father is being praised as the hero, instead of
T'laerean! He humbly agrees with the Wise Man that he
still has much to learn of the Force.
