Quest For Balance: A Star Wars Story (Reupload)

Chapter One: Destiny

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, there stood a planet on the outer rim of the galaxy called Aethel. The planet was brimming with life from grassy plains to dense forests, valleys, mountains, desserts, and seas.

There, in the middle of a valley surrounded on three sides by mountains, stood a city named Gondolin, a city made of white marble and slate with a big castle in the heart of the city. The people in it came in all shapes and sizes, but the most important people were The Royal Family.

The government is a Semi Constitutional Monarchy: a monarchy where the monarch rules according to a democratic constitution but still retains substantial powers. The king was sitting on his throne doing some of his duties with his wife next to him rubbing her belly.

King: Every day is the same thing.

Queen: I know my love, but it would be worth it when our baby is born.

King: Yeah, I hope so...

He paused and got up clutching his head.

?: King Caesar what's wrong?

Caesar: I sense a disturbance in The Force. I see The Sith trying to play god.

?: Should we do something about it?

Caesar: No. Their plan will fail anyway, but I can see a child being born. Yes, a child with strength stronger than any Jedi or Sith in history will be born from this.

?: Where sire?

Caesar: Not sure yet, but we must find it first before they do. Get our children here now!

?: Yes sir.

As the adviser walked away; Caesar was guided back to the throne by his queen.

Queen: Are you sure about this? It could be a trick.

Caesar: I know Miriam, but doing nothing is off the table. I fear that he would be so far away from The Republic that The Jedi won't find him until much later in life; if not ever.

Miriam: I understand that, but changing the future is not the way; heck we do not know if he's meant to be a Jedi in the first place.

Caesar: He's not, at least not like the ones here today or during Revan's time, who sat on their butts doing nothing as the galaxy burned around them. His destiny is to bring balance to The Force and peace to the galaxy. However, for that to happen, he must take down The Jedi and The Sith at the same time.

Miriam just nodded yes with concern in her heart and mind.

Miriam: I hope you know what you're doing.

Caesar: As do I; the future is always in motion and never-ending; so we can't be too hasty or too careful.

The door to the throne room begins to open, and out comes four children: three sons and one daughter. The oldest is twenty, the daughter is eighteen, and the last two are twin boys of ten.

The children enter the throne room, their faces etched with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Caesar, his gaze softening at the sight of his family, gestures for them to approach.

Caesar: My children, I have summoned you here today for a matter of grave importance.

The eldest son, Markus, steps forward, his posture radiating confidence and a hint of impatience.

Markus: What troubles you, Father?

Caesar hesitates, his hand instinctively rubbing his temples.
