"Noooo!" I jerk awake. Where am I?Its warm and there is no sound. I need to remember what happened. "Ahhhh!" My head aches in pain trying to remember. Wait who am I first. "Caesar...my name is Caesar. I can't even remember anything but my name. Where am I what happened to me?" My body is aching in pain an blood drips from my forehead. " Great I must be crazy because now I'm talking to myself." Then a new fear crept into my mind what if I'm not lost but abandoned? What if someone left me for dead? I can't worry about that now*growl* I'm hungry that's my main problem, I need to find food. This sucks whoever I am why the hell would I come here? Lets try to think positive here Caesar. At least its not to cold like Hoth or hot like Mustafar. "Great I can remember planets and other stupid stuff, but I can't remember who I am." This sucks. Finally. A lake. I've been looking for some source of food or drink for hours now. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to reach it. However though I walked for what felt like hours. "Damn the sun is coming down pretty fast . I wonder how long the days and nights last here?" I finally get to the lake. I run like a child see a soldier or a pod racer for the first time and instantly put my face into the water to take a drink. I didn't even notice how thirsty I was until I came upon the water. My thirst was diminished for now, but it made my insides burn as if I was being eaten alive from the inside. I need to find food fast. I walked around the forest for about eight minutes when.. " There! I can't believe it Starblossoms. I thought they were rare and only found on Alderaan." Could I be on Alderaan? No it was destroyed many years ago. Again I have all this knowledge but I don't know why I'm here or who I am. I can't think about that now I need to collect these Starblossoms before I die of starvation. I gather as many Starblossoms as I could hold and walk back to the lake. "Guess I can set up camp around here." Then I heard or should I say felt a strange presence. A voice in my head. " Something is going to happen tomorrow." Wait how do I know this surely I cannot see into the future. Maybe I was gaining back a memory. Yeah that has to be it a memory, or maybe I'm just fucking crazy either way it really doesn't matter if I'm crazy or not. Because if I stay on this planet alone any longer I'll end up crazy anyway. I lay on my back staring onto the stars. Grabbing a Starblossom and biting into it. I don't know if I ever tasted Starblossoms before but this is probably the best food I've ever eaten. Then again it is the only food I remember eating. I grab another one and bite. "Crap!" I bit into my finger it was rapidly bleeding. I must really be hungry huh? I crawl to the lake for no other reason than I'm to lazy to get up and walk. I place my hand into the water and let it soak. My stomach grumbles again so I grab another Starblossom this time carefully biting into it avoiding my finger. I lay my head back and think in my head about today and everything that has happened. I close my eyes relived that some good has come out of this day, and that good is sleep.

Its dark and I hear a voice. Its faint so I stop in my tracks to listen. "The wanderer shall seek death!" And it repeated this phrase over and over. I tried to follow the voice but strangely the sound seemed to come from everywhere at once! Who is the wanderer and why will they die? Where am I what is happening? Then another voice spoke, " Dark days shall come to an end." Great some more crazy talk. " What is happening? All I remember is....well I don't remember anything except walking on a planet alone, finding the lake,eating the Starblossom fruit, going to sleep, and this darkness with crazy voices all around me." Thats it! Sleep I'm dreaming of course. And instantly remembering I am asleep I start to feel my self awakening. I awake my head jerking upwards instantly I hit something hard. " Ouch what the...." It was two people one was rubbing his head where I hit him the other a girl laughing at the one whose head I hit. " Kane you should be more careful when standing over a sleeping person's head." "Shut up!" Said the one called Kane. "Who are you guys?" Again the girl spoke " I'm Hellana and this is Kane." "Where am I? Why are you here? Who am I?" " Calm down kid we don't know just that you're currently on Daimla a planet of the Kallea Sector towards the outer rim of the Galaxy. And me and Hellana here were told there was supposed to be some kind of treasure at this location but all we could find was you." Then I reached over for a Starblossom and saw chains covered my hands. " Why the hell am I in chains? Wait a second are you guys pirates?" Hellana spoke "Clever one you are but stop asking so many damn questions and yes we are pirates and we've decided since we can't find any treasure we might as well sell you to the Empire for some credits." "What no please don't! I don't know who this Empire is but I don't want to be their slave!" "Seriously you don't know who the empire is? Then again you have been on this desolated planet for who knows how long. Relax you aren't going to be a slave just a weapon. They are currently looking for soldiers for the war and are willing to pay top notch for good fighters. Clearly you've heard of the war going on?" "Actually no what war?" Suddenly Kane approached me with haste " That's it I'm done I hate when people ask to many questions." Then he swung his fist back and hit me upside my head. Everything went black again for the second time.
