Ok as you see I haven't a name for this yet. I'm not a writter but I thought I'd go out on a limb and give it a shot. so well umm I going to just go for it and hope all goes ok. Now remember i've never done this.
My body was screamming for some sleep. But no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't find it. So many things clouded my mind. So many thoughts. All I could do was toss and turn. My sleep deprevation had begun to show and Master Yoda told me I needed to deal with my thoughts and feelings and reflect on them so my mind would ease and I could rest. " Dangourous you have become with the lack of sleep. You lack the ability to focus. Must rest you do." The words echoed in my mind. I was on a madatory break. One week. For me tourture. It was suggested by Yoda and other council members I go to another planet and visit friends or just get away but I can't. The Temple is my home and I really just want to stay here. I decided to do some voulenteer work with the Jedi healers and took a liking to the younger students. I would go out into the gardens with the younglings after their lesons and just play with them. I found peace in their inncocence. I spent time in the healing ward helping the healers do various things. I thought if I saw others ill or injured it would somehow make me not think of things that plauged my mind. So here I am at 2:30 Am unable to sleep. That is why I decided to keep a datapad Journal. Vewis of my past mostly trying to search for meaning and myself. I know I will find it getting it out will help alot I feel. Well tecnically it was Master Yodas Idea. All credit to him. I remember the nite I left my home. A beatifull palace it was. Large and vast. Everthing always in it's place. The floors shinny and slick. I loved to wear socks and run and slide across them. The furniture was massive mostly uncomfortable very exspensive and very hard. My room was my haven. It had a massive bed in it that was so comfy with plush bed linens and warm warm bed covers. All done in soft fabrics and silks. Dark blue, My mothers choice not mine but oh well. I had everything. Fine beatiful gowns and dresses. Anything I wanted. I even had my own servents I guess you would call them. All though I thought of them more as friends. I really didn't have any friends but oh I longed for them so much. To have adventures with and to play games with. My mother had always treated her's so rudley and harsh with harsh voice and movements. It really bothered me. Then their was my caregiver or Nanny I guess you would say. Oh I loved her so. Long long jet black hair. She always wore it down and let me do fancy things to it. She wore simple clothes in earthtones and they were always so so soft. My mum hired her because she came with the highest amout of recomendation. She was very exspensive also but my mother had to have her. My mum really is into her status in life and it is always about her and what she has. Attention has to always be focused on her. It is very annoying.

Anoying as in, I didn't want attention for me, but anoying as in with material things. I remember going outside of the palace a few times for various events, I was shocked. I never knwe any other way of life but what I had lived. I never knew people lived diffrently from one another. It was so diffrent from what I was use to. My nany, Eija had often told me about it and drove it into to me that kindness and an open heart were the way to happiness, " Always treat others with respect no matter their status in life and remember never to judge a person by apperences." When I became a little older I snuck out of the palace dressing in plain simple clothes and wandered about hte communitty in which I lived. I will never forget the girl who touched my heart so deepley. We were the same age. She was not much taller than me with Long Long Light brown hair and really big big blue eyes. She had absolutly nothing at all and was obviously very short on food. I had become lost in one of the vast markets and couldn't find my way so she helped me out, I had apparently wondered into a not so good part of teh market and it was obvious I had not a clue. She took it upon herself to show me around the various areas and show me were to go and not. Then the most wonderful thing happened. She took me to meet her family and as I looked around their simple living space it was obvious the had not very much. Her mother was kind and caring and her fathers was such a happy jolly man. It was very obvious that they cherised one another very deeply. I was a bit taken aback when I was offered dinner and accepted. I knew that to decline would apper rude and frankly I really enjoyed this happy place. Dinner was simple bread with a very simple broth in a large bowl and they even brought out real milk, which for them was a very very special treat because it was so very expensive. It was a very simple meal but the company and conversation made it the richest I had ever had. I was truly greatful and was asked to come back. I promised I would and soon it was growing dark. Teh girl offered to show me home but I feared her finding out who I really was so I had her walk with me to a nearby market and then said godbye. I didn't catch her name but knew some how somewere I would see her agin and she was important in my life somehow. How I had yet to figure out.

Sveva`. That is her Name I found out. Actually I snuck away from the palace agin after a breif lesson with Eija. She encourages me to get out and about. As I walked through the market to meet Sveva`, I saw her. A little more worn down than normal. Her head hung low and she seemed very sad. As she lifted her face I could see the tear stains on her checks. " Whats wrong, what happed?" I ask quickly. " My father has no work now, we have no credits and we have no food left. My mother gave me these to sell in the market." As she held out her hand I recognized one of the Jewlery peices. It was a beatiful but simple band that her mother wore. Her weding band. It ment the world to her and was a pricless famly heirloom. Very simple but had the inscription,our love and family bond expands the Galaxy. This ring had been handed down multiple family generations and was ment to go to Sveva` on her weding day. It represented so much to their family, and brough centuries of strong marriage and goodluck. If they had to part with it I knew they were in serious trouble. As she pulled another peice of jewlery out of her pocket, Another family heriloom a necklace, I stooped her. "Sveva` wait here dont sell that stuff, I mean it No matter how much someone offers DON"T" I said with a firm voice. Seeing the puzzeld look cross her face I reassured her. Looking deepley into her bright blue eyes," Trust me" I say reasuringly. She nods her head and understands.

I race to the palace as fast as I can. My lungs burning and my heart pounding. I reach throgh the force for my master and find her calmly meditating in a garden. She feels me and quickly seends out calming waves in the force. Master I say running up to her almost out of breath. She quickly puts a finger up to my lips to quite me. " I feel youre anxiousness through the force. Take a Deep breath and calm youreself my dear," She says in a quite husshed voice. Let us move to the pond farther away from the palace and you can tell me the whole story. I begin to tell her what has happened and as I do tears spill down my checks. I have yet to learn to control such intense emotions. Eija let out a sad sigh," I see how this sadens you my dear child but how can I help?" I quickly rattle of my plan to her. I knew Sveva` wouldnt just take credits from me, A pride thing for her and her family, so I devised a plan! " Eija please wait right here." I say calmly. I get up and run to my room in the palace. I grab a jeweled box I have hidden under my bed. I open it and take out all teh credits. A very masive amout I must say. Been saving it for a rainy day and this was indeed one.

I stuff teh credits into my pocket and race out of my room. as I' am about to turn teh corner I hear a voice snap in the air. A cold chill runs up my back. " Sasha just were are you going and in such a hurry." The voice says sharply. I turn and face my mother. " No were just going out to take a walk and see the animals." " My creation child wear have you been, You look like a pesant and smell worse than a pile of Bantha Dung. I demand you shower and change this instant." I roll my eyes," BU..." Before I finish my sentence I feel a sting across the side of my face. " Now see what you have made me do, How dare you If it leaves a mark You cant be seen in public. Now you go shower and for youre sake you better burn those clothes and never wear them agin. You are Royalty for god sakes why dont you act like it. I spend tons and tons of credits on you so you will look youre best and fit in and you just insist on wearing those plain drab hedious things. Always runnig about talking to animals and such. I can't even belive youre my Daughter." As she goes on and on Her face gets twisted and snareled. The words are sharp and hateful. I try to tune her out and just look at the wall behind her. " Sasha, SASHA, DO YOU HEAR ME!!!!," I snap out of it. " GET YOURE NASTY LITTLE SELF TO THE REFRESHER NOW OR ILL MAKE IT SO YOU CANT GO IN PUBLIC FOR A MONTH!" I curtsy and smirk, " Why yes mother on my way." I gracefully walk down teh hall and around the corner. I stop and peak out watching her move out of sight, Mumbuling and shaking her head. I run out and quickly burt out of the back of the palace to the pond were my master awaits.

Out of breath I stumble and almost fall as I run up to Eija. " Here take this," I shove all the credits into her hand. She looks at me and smiles softly. " Are you sure of this?" "Yes, Iam posative. I want you to show up in the market and buy her stuff." She touches my face softley and I feel a surge from the force. " I see you saw youre mother my child." She says in a soft even tone. " Yeah well, whatever." " come to the market and buy the Jewlery, Then you must keep it safe till I can find a way to return it to her." Eija hugs me tightly. " I cant belive that youre mum iw who she is." She gently strokes the side of my face. " You have such compassion and love for youre fellow humans. Dont ever let that leave you Sasha." I hug her back tightly and turn around and run back to the martket. Sveva` is sitting in the dust and dirt waiting for my return. She has a puzzled look on her face and just smiles at me. " I'm so sorry I say out of breath, I forgot to do something and had to do it before I got into trouble." Sveva` raises one of her eyebrows and looks at the side of my face.

She touches my face. " youre mother do this to you?" She asks a surprised tone in her voice. I turn away. " Yeah well I'm use to it its no big deal." "No big deal!" Her voice begins to raise and she is obviously agitated. " That is wrong no matter what you say or do. No one should hit you that hard and in the face. Sasha that is bad!" " I know but their isnt much I can do. I just stay out of her way and she leaves me be most of the time." "But why would youre own mother do that to you. I dont understand." " Well Sveva` you arew very lucky youre family loves each other so much. You value each other in so many ways and appreciate each others uniqnis." I look at her and smile. " you are very lucky." She looks around her and then down at her tattered and torn simple clothes. " Yah know I dont have nice things and alot of food to eat but I have a really great family." She looks at me and smiles. and points to my face agin. " Is that why you never invite me to youre house?" I look shocked. " Sveva` I well I......." Just then a woman with long flowing dark hair walks up.

She smiles a very warm and friendly smile and begins to speak. " A man down teh way says you have some very nice things you are selling. quite valuable and I'm looking for something special." Sveva` takes a deep breath trying to hold in her tears. Her voice cracks as she speaks. " Yes mam I have these things to sell."' She holds out her hand in it her mothers weding band a very simple plain but unique Neclace. A rare stone from teh mines her father worked in on a leather strap with gold twisted about it. The dark haired lady smiled warmly agin. " They are indeed beatiful and rare dear are you sure you wish to part with these Iteams?" Sveva` smiles a half smile. " Yes mam I am sure." " How much do you wish for them dear?" Shocked Sveva` turns to me and whispers. " I never thought about that. How much Sasha?" I whisper back. " I would put a high price on. She looks willing to pay what you want and you can always come down if you have to. You have rare piecies. Only two but very special." Sveva` timidly speaks her voice shaking. " Ummm 800 credits mam." Sveva` closes her eyes and winces. The lady with the Dark flowing hair pulls out all her credits and hands them to Sveva`. " You have a deal dear. It seems fair to me and these things our obviously rare indeed and worth it. I have traveled to every cormer in teh glaxey and never seen these things." Sveva` opens her eyes and bows to the lady. " Thank you so much. This means alot to me." The lady turns and begins to walk away with her tresures tightly in her hand and turns back. " No Sveva` thank you, you are brave and pure of heart." With that she turned back around and disappered in the dust of the market place.

I saw the excitment running through Sveva` as she held the credits in disbelife. " You have no idea what this will do for us Sasha." She said with great excitment. But suddenly just as teh excitment came so did the tears. Sveva` began to sob uncontolably. I felt akward and sad for her. I was lost and confused myself and had no Idea what to do. My family wasnt' what you called a warm family and whenever someone was upset it was followed by much anger, yelling or, someone leaving. I followed my instinct and put my arms around her. I whispered in her ear. " Sveva` I'm so very sorry perhaps one day youll find youre items. The galaxy and force work in funny ways." Tears streaking the dirt on her face Sveva` pulled back from me and looked odly at me. " Did you say the Force Sasha." I felt a look of shock cross my young face. "NNN NO I didnt say that Force no you must have heard something else. Boy it is noisey here." Sveva put her hands on my shoulders. Looking Squarly into my eyes she spoke. " I have been honest and open with you. Invited you into my home and you are my best and only friend I have. I know what I heard." Just then a Mandalorian gaurd passed by and I grabbed Sveva`s arm. " We must go now." I said firmly. Sveva` looked at me confused then looked at the two gaurds that passed. We ran around the corner and Sveva took me to her house. Once inside I knew it was going to be twenty questions. " OK SASHA NO MORE GAMES TALK." She said firmly. " I saw the look on youre face as those gaurds passed a look of fear. Why they work for the govoner and are her to help protect yet you feared them. The only people known to fear such protectors are from what I understand are JEDI. So Sasha spill it who are you really and what is youre DEAL." Sveva`s eyes flashed and her jaw stiffined. Deep inside I was scared. I had so many secreats. I never had a friend before and here I was lying to my only friend and she had finally figured it out. If I told her the truth would she hate me? I didnt know and I was so very scared inside. I took a deep breath and began to speak. " Sveva` I know youre not stupid. I have not told you everything. You are my only friend and I love you like my sister. What I need to tell you is really hard for me and I hope it dosent change the way you feel aoubt me." I looked away and took another deep breath. Sveva` gently hugged me and said. " Sasha youre are my best friend to. It is as if you were sent here for a special purpose. I feel you are destined for something greater but I can't help you unless you tell me what is going on. I know something is going on in youre family. Evey day you have a new bruise or cut. somedays you are so sore you can hardly keep up. I'm not Stupid you know." " No Sveva` youre anything but stupid." As I said this I looked up and looked into her eyes. There was reasurance their. Something deeper and safe. For the first time in my entire life I felt totaly without question safe.

Looking at Sveva` I began to speak. " Sveva` my parents are teh govonors of the planet." I saw her face pale and a look of shock come over her. " Sasha are you serious. I have heard such horiable things aobut them and they are the ones that laid my father off. Why are you here, here with me. Ive seen teh beatiful gardens and all teh riches you have but youre here why?" " Ill get to all that." I say reasuringly. " Please hear my story." I could feel tears welling in the corners of my eyes. " My family is horriable. I dont agree with the way they do things they are selfish and only think of themselves. All they care about is money and things. I'm hear with you because you and youre family are normal. Down to the planet types who teach me so much. When I'm wiht you and youre family I learn about life. Love and Frienship. You value life respect one another and truly love and care about one another." I thouch my face then unwrap my tunics and turn with my back facing Sveva`. As my tunics fall off my back I hear her draw in a deep breath. " Oh my gosh Sasha. Youre parents did that didnt they." I drew my tunics back up around me and the tears started to fall. " Sveva` they did indeed do that to me. Regularly." " But Sasha I still dont understand why they would do such things. Youre not wild and diobediant." Taking an even deeper breath I turn away. " Do you remember when you asked me about the force? Well the truth is that I have very high midiclorions. Yes I do poses teh ability. My nanny is not really a nanny. She is a Jeid Master and is instructing me in teh ways of the force. My parents are frightened of the force and dont belive in it. They have no clue aobut my nanny and if they ever found out I could not imagine the conscocinces. My mother is so afraid of it that if she catches me using it she beats me very severly as you could see by my back scares." The tears flowed freely and as I turned back around to face Sveva` I could see she was also crying.

" As far as the Mandolorian gaurds I have been taught by Eija my master to be wary of them. They hate Jedi and if they knew what we were we would be Exucuted on the spot." I look seriously to Sveva`. " I need youre help Sveva`. I have to get away from here some how someday. I dont know how yet or when but I have to. My master has been preping me for the Jedi Temple. I'm supose to go to the planet Coruscount to be trained at the temple thieir. It has to be soon but the only way I can figure out to do it is runnig away and somehow faking my death. What ever I do I have to make it imposiable to be found. I have been talking to my Master about this and have already come up with a new name that they know at the Jedi Temple. You have to swear not to tell anyone other than youre family Sveva`. You were right when you said I had a higher purpose in life." I grab bother her hands and look straight into her face. " Sveva` please swear to me taht you wont tell anyone, annyone at all. Pleas I beg you." Sveva` looked at me with an odd sort of grin. " Did anyone tell you that begging was a very unattractive habbit." She half laughs. " Of course I wont tell anyone. Youre secret is safe with me. You are my best freind in the whole galaxy and I will never ever forget you for as long as I live." I take a deep breath of releif. " Oh thank you Sveva`" " So Sasha why dont you go get youre things you need talk to youre master and come back here in teh morning and well get this plan going." I look outside and relize how dark it has gotten. I suddenly feel Eija through the force and relize something teriable. Sveva` looks at me. " Sasha are you ok you look really really sick." I look at her and say, " I'm dead meat. My mother has an Idea were I am. I'm really going to get it now. I have to leave."

Befpre Sveva` can say anything I jump up and start to run out of the house. I hear her mothre and father begin to say something but the words are lost on teh wind. Sand and dirt are bitting at my face and before I know it I'm lost. Everywere I turn all I see is dust and dirt. Breathing is becoming harder and harder. I suddenly feel a gloved hand grab my arm and pull me into an ally. An electronic voice pipes up. " Yes sir I have her and will return her immidiatly to the palace." A cold chill runs through to my bones and I try very hard not to show my fear of the Mandalorian protector. Tehy are obviously not going to harm me and word has gotten out that I'm overdue. But the stories the stories I have heard fill my mind. I struggle to get free but to no avail. I'd rather return home on my own and deal with the situation than to be drug back by hired protecteor. for the life of me I cant figure out why they would be here anyway. Looking for me. Frusturated and worn out I finally give in and relax. I take a deep breath and just try to think of a way out of this mess. What am I going to say and do. My body begins to shake as I relize the pain I'm going to have to endure. I cant begin to imagine. I feel numb and emty. Emotionaly void of all things. I dont even relize that I'm no longet walking but being carried back to the palace. As we near teh front entrance I see all teh lights on and just prepare myself for the onslaught. The gates swing open and the Protector puts me down and pushes my back urging me to go forward. Reluctantly I begin to walk. I feel small and weak. It seems the palace is looming up out of the darkness and is larger thn I remember. The front doors open and we step inside. Waiting their are my Father, Looking outraged and my mother Looking even more outraged. My father speaks very comandingly. " I thank you much for teh return of my dayghter. You may attend to youre duties and leave now." Everything inside of me is telling me to run. run and never come back. It is odd a feeling I have never felt. It is as if their is something more going on more than I know. I shake it off and look at my parents. They seem tense and akward. " Dear you must be hungry. Follow me to the dinning room youre dinner is still on the table." Odd I think to myself why are tehy being so well, Nice. I follow my mother and feel my father file behind me. " Were is Eija? " I ask coustiously. " She is getting youre bath ready and some clean clothing for you. Here sit down we need to talk." I sit and as I turn around that familer evil blank grin falls across teh faces of my parents. here we go I think to myself and phisicaly and mentally brace myself. I Pick up my crystal glass and take a long drink of the refreshing water.

It was to quite to erie I knew something was amiss. Tehn my mother in her most annoying voice began to speak. " I know were you have been and I know youre little secret. You have been sneaking out of the palce and acthing like one of those disgusting marketplace commonors. It has been told to me by many people who think they have seen you wandering about the cities. You have been seen with another girl about youre same age. I have no idea who she is but the fact that you are doing this is to much for me." Her voice was rising as was her anger. " Is it the fact that you know I'm doing this that bother you or the fact that I have fianally been recogvnized for who I really am. That thought alone is what frightens you. You hate the fact that people know YOURE daughter is dressing like an everyday COMMONOR as you call it and wandering aoubt. Well let me tell you something!" I could feel a dark pressence rising up inside of me filling me with a dark evil hatred. I couldnt stop it it was terafying but I had to release it unleash it. It consumed me. In all my ten years I had never felt such anger, Hatred Evil and Power. I used it used every bit of it to my advantage. I let it fill me and guide me. I felt a storng pressence a voice in my mind and looked around. A familer voice coming to me. **** Stop this youre letting the power of teh darkside consume you. It is raging in you filling you drving you. All we have worked for you are ignoring it. You HAVE to back off. Let me help you. PLEASE SASHA PLEASE!!!**** I recognized this voice and saw her standing their on the other side of the vast room. A light glowing around her. Radiating from her. I looked away. ****** I'm sorry but I have had enough. For ten years I have been good and taking it. I just cant any longer***** I lashed out at my mother with harsh angry words. I screamed at her. " You think youre so smart, so rich and so powerful. You are nothing to me you are NOTHING. I HATE YOU I HATE YOU WITH EVERY BONE IN MY BODY!!! You MAKE ME SICK JUST LOOKING AT YOU." She Glared at me teh most evil glare and I matched it. " You." She snareld. " you think you have a friend now and you think youre so smart. Youre insagnifigant youre friend is not youre friend she is a nasty little begger who wants nothing from you but to use you. You are Pathetic Sasha. I never wanted you to begin with. From the moment I became pregnant with you you have been nothing but a burden. Always taking things and never appreciated anything. I gave you everything and showed you everything. You have seen how those scavangers live, youre little so called friend and I gave you EVERYTHING." I lashed back at her. Hate filled my words. " You took from youre own people. You stave the people you govern and take never giving. You have more than enough but it is never enough for you. You have to Hire outside youre local law enforcment becasue youre people are praying on one another, Because YOU deprive them of basic needs. As far as my freind she is worht more to me than you ever will be. You are the rudest most selfish horriable person to ever roam teh Galaxy. I hope youre planet crumbles beneth you, You worthless peice of space trash!! I could see teh rage fill my mother and watche her move toward me! She was rather slow.

I watched her carefully and looked down at teh crystal glass I held in my hand. Then I looked at her. I opened my hand as my mother came closer. The glass sat perfectly level on the palm of my hand. My mother raged. She raised her hand and flew closer to me. The Dark power began to stir once agin and I felt it. It felt godd and like a familer friend. A look of pure evil crept across my face. I felt teh strength of the evil flow down my arm and to my hand. Just before my mother made contact with my face for the umthenth millionth time the crystal glass shattered int a thousand pieces. I felt another pressence one through the force. It was pulling me away, No pulling the darkness away that was consuming me. My mother was teriffied and finally for the first time speachless. I looked her dead set in teh eyes. " NOW LEAVE ME ALONE AND DO NOT BOTHER ME ANYMORE. YOU SEE WHAT I JUST DID. IF YOU ANGER ME AGIN MY WRATH I WILL UNLEASH ON YOU!" She ran from the room my father closely folowing. I felt my master come up behind me and gently place her hands on both my shoulders. I felt the anger and hatred flow from my body. Like a Dam releasing its waters. She gently spoke to me. " Sasha. thier is a time when you have to staand up for youreself today was youre time but you were very dangourouse. You felt a Dark power and you felt youre first taste of the darkside. I do not condem you for that for I knew you would eventually feel it. We all do but teh way you thursted for it and used it. Had I not been close by I fear you would have tapped into that power more. I understand youre frustration and hatred of teh things that have been delt to you but you must relize youre mother is one track minded and only thinks of herself. You you have a greater destiny in life and you must go to youre destiny. It is time." I looked at her not fully relizing what she was saying. A blank look crossed my face. " Sasha she said you are bleeding and we need to get you cleaned up." I didn't relize it but I was shaking uncontrolably and was teriably exausted. Then the tears flowed. " Sasha it will be ok I'm hear for you." Eija put her arms around me and helped me up. We walked down the hall to my quarters.

I told master Eija of Sashas offering and she agrred it to be good. " Tomorow you will go before breakfast to stay with her. I wlill stay behind and meet you their later in the day. Here take these things with you." She reached for my hand and placed the necklace and bracelet in my open palm. " Why cant you bring these with you later?" I asked. " They will be safer with you. Now youre wounds need tending." I looked down to see my tunic stained crimson as I bleed. " All of youre wounds." she said sternly as she raised her eyebrows. I looked at her puzzled. Before I spoke she awnsered as she worked on cleaning my cuts. " Youre phisical damage is minimal today but the damage done to you mentally runs deep. I will stay with youall night and help to heal teh damage taht has been done to you. You are storng and you have much to learn. Tonight is one of youre greatest leasons. I cant say you passed or failed this test. But I can draw from it to teach you. It is time you learn to heal youre mental scares. Tomorow you begin youre new life. I had been preparing for this for a long time. Not only would I change my name haircolor and my eye color but my whole life would change as well. " I shall return momentarily." Eija whispered. She slipped down the hall and using her Jedi ability quickly calmed my mother and father sending them teh sugestion that they were in great need of rest and suddenly very very very tierd. They stood up and Stumbled clumsuly to their room and fell immidiatly to sleep. It was almost as if they were drug induced. When Eija Arived back she had a packet some fresh earth tone tunics and a few other odds and ends. She ripped open the packet and told me to hold still as she emptied it onto my head. Color crawlers. My hair went from Bright blond to a very dark but bright red. I was amazed. Soon I didnt even recogvize the girl in the mirror. I had on clean very plain tunics. my hair was now Red not so obsorbently long it was now mid backand my eyes green. Eija parted my hair in a strange zig zag and pulled the top of it back off my face binding it with a leather strap. Eija stepped behind me. and gently placed her delicate hands on my shoulder. I felt love and warmth radiate from her. The kind of love one should have felt from their mother. In a warm loving voice she spoke. " Sasha from this moment on you are no longer Sasha. You now wear the tunics of a Jeid padawan and are instead Jade." She handed me a data pad. " here you will find everything you need to get to the Jedi Temple at Curuscount. Their you will find a whole new life. The life you were destin from birth to lead. It wil be long and hard but it is were you are to be. I leave you with this advice Jade. Fear is not the absence of courage but the belife that soemthing is much more important than fear itself. Now you must rest." With that she handed me a mug of warm tea. A variety I had never tasted. I drank it and layed down. Sleep soon followed. A sleep with no more fear no more restlesness a new sleep a new life. I had never felt more at peace or loved in my entire moment than I had at that one moment. I had no idea that that love I felt from Eija would be changed and ripped from me.........
