Ahsoka I: When everything changed

15

I went early to bed that night, just like Lux and Azreal. Illum wasn't that far, but we were going to leave early anyway so we'd have the entire day there.

I knew the way to Illum because I had been there before to make my Lightsabers so I was the pilot for that day. I took a seat in the comfortable chair and set course for Illum. Azreal joined me and sat next to me. 'Do you really believe that I'm capable of making a Lightsaber?' he asked. 'Of course, why wouldn't you be? If I'd think you weren't ready then I wouldn't have told you that you were.'
'Thanks Ahsoka.' Azreal said. 'So how long does it take to get to Illum?'
'About three hours I guess.' I answered. 'Alright I guess I'll just have to be patient then.'

Azreal walked away only to return a couple of minutes later. 'Did you miss me?' I said. 'No why?'
'Because you came back very soon.' I said with a grin on my face. 'Oh, that's because I went looking for Lux but he wasn't in his room so I was wondering if you knew where he is.'
'Not really, but he should be on the ship. I mean he can't just vanish when we're in hyperspace right?'
'That's true.' Azreal said. 'I'll look for him in other places then.' he said when he walked away.

Finally Azreal came back. 'I didn't see him.' he said. 'Weird, maybe I can sense him with the Force.' I said. I concentrated and scanned my area for any other form of life except for me and Lux, but I didn't find any. 'He's in the escape pod.'

'Why would he be in there?' Azreal asked. 'I don't know, let's ask him.'
I put the ship on automatic pilot and walked to the escape pod, with Azreal right behind me. When we arrived at the escape pod I looked inside but I didn't see Lux. 'Where did he go?' Azreal said. I turned around and saw Lux. He was lying on the floor and he was wounded.
