The market was a very crowded place. Tables and people everywhere selling all imaginable things, also the ones that weren't at all legal. The mercenaries will go there and trade food, ships' parts, droids, shotguns, or any kind of of thing you needed. The only condition, be willing to paid. I wasn't big enough to be in that kind of place, but I knew my way around.
Since my father left us, I only got my mother and two brothers. Every day I would go to the market and help her sell the products that my brothers cultivated. My brothers Lunas and Rondo, of 7 and 16 years old respectively, would stay home to grow the crops. That day I went alone to the market to get some medicine, while my mother took care of Lunas.
I get to a table with an old lady behind it. She look kind of creepy, but was real nice.
"Hello, little Alexia!" she greets.
"Hey, Sheena! Got any medicine over there?"
"Well, I got some herbs. For what do you need it?"
"My brother has been sick for a couple of days now. He have fever and body pain." I replied.
"In that case, I think this aura herbs could help him. You just need to make him some tea." she knew everything about medicine. If you were having any health problem, that's the woman you would need by your side.
"Thanks, I'll take them. In exchanged I will give you 10 Magna fruits. I heard is very rare to find and people used it to cure really bad wounds." I stated.
"How a little kid know all these things? Aren't you to little to be trading over here?" she laughed.
"I'm not a little girl! I'm 12!"
We both laughs, while I'll gave her the fruit.
"Here Alexia, you have your..." A loud and deafening sound cover all the market, interrupting Sheena. Just then a ship pass above us, so fast that couldn't compare to anything that I saw before.
"What was that?" I asked.
"That looks like a ship of the Empire. They're very rare to pass on this area. Wait, Alexia... isn't it going toward your house direction?"
"Sheena I have to go!"
"Wait you forgot your... medicine."
I couldn't hear the last thing that Sheena said, I was already running to my home. My house was far from the market, but I have to get there as soon as I can. I just wanted to get to my family and make sure they were fine.
I didn't knew what the Empire wanted with my family. The only thing I was certain was that it wasn't for something good.
