I was standing in the middle of a base camp. I kept looking around unsure of where to go when I hear a soft female voice and I spun around.

"Ah, Ophelia I have been waiting for you"

When I turned around I was greeted by an older woman. She was around my height, a little taller. She had a braided crown around her head. She looked important. 

"Hi yes, that's me. Are you Leia Organa? I have a letter from my birth parents. It says I need to meet with someone named Leia and that she will tell me what I need to do." 

"Yes, dear that's me. Why don't we head to my office and talk about all you need to know. Poe here, will take your belongings to your room if that's okay?" She said while putting her arm around me pulling you close. 

I looked over to the side and I saw who she referred to as Poe. He introduced himself to me with a wink. He was good-looking but he was no what's his face. Wow, I really need to find out his name. 

Leia lead me to her office. She sat down at her desk and I sat across, nervously waiting for what she had to say. We sat like that for a few minutes until she finally figured out what she wanted to say.

"Well, I must say you have grown up to be a beautiful woman even though I am not surprised you were a beautiful baby."

"Wait, you knew me when I was a baby?" 

"Of course I did dear. I was your mother's best friend. I was the one that dropped you off since she couldn't let her own child go. But she was the one that picked Tony Stark and I would say she made a good choice. I could tell through the force you were growing into a strong woman."

"She did make a good choice. I am very lucky to have him as a father. Anyway, who are they? Are they alive? Also what the hell is the force?"

She looked at me with sad eyes. I already knew one of the answers then. "Sadly, both of them died. They were powerful Grey Jedi and not everyone liked that. And they made an even more powerful daughter. And my dear you already know what the force is. You may have not realized but what you call your powers is the force. You are so strong without any proper training I can't even imagine what you would be like with training but I can't wait to find out." 

"I know the letter said I was a Grey Jedi but what does that mean?" 

She sighed, "Well honey the force surrounds us and it has two sides the light and the dark. The light side is practiced by the Jedi and the dark side is practiced by the Sith. In between the two are the Grey Jedi. You practice using both the light and dark side of the force. You are the balance and I don't mean you as in the Grey Jedi. I mean you, Ophelia, are the balance." 

"The balance?" I said with a seriously confused face. I couldn't tell if this lady was high or not but whatever she was saying was surely bullshit. 

"Yes, you are the balance the force needs. You are the one destined to save the galaxy whether it be this one or your home. Alongside Ben. My son." She had a smile on her face as she said it.

With that, she pushed a photo over to you. My eyes went as wide as saucers. It was him. It was an older photo probably from his early teens but it was him nonetheless. The eyes. Those dark whiskey eyes.
