The Youngest Skywalker

The Scavenger and the Legendary Jedi

When Kyra and Rey arrived at Ach-To and climbed the steps...there he was.

"Most impressive, Kyra. I knew you and the girl would find us." An all too familiar voice from the Netherworld of the Force said. This time it was masculine. Youthful, yet full of wisdom.

It was her father, and Luke's and Leia's.

"You knew about Rey?" Kyra found herself asking in shock.

"Of course I did. That's why I was always with your brother. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to guide you and Leia, but I was needed. When Ben turned to the Dark Side, I stopped coming in order to keep the location secret." Anakin said with a sad smile.

Kyra nodded in understanding as she watched Rey pull out a lightsaber that was very familiar as Luke turned to her.

"Where did she get that? I thought it was lost so long ago back in Bespin." Kyra gasped.

"Maz would be the best person to talk to, Kyra. She's had my lightsaber for ages and had kept it locked away in her castle." Anakin answered. "As for how she recovered the lightsaber? Again, that would be something to ask her."

Kyra nodded as she noted the cautious stare that Luke gave Rey as they both stood and stared at each other, awaiting an answer....

Kyra watched the scene between Rey and Luke as the young ex-scavenger gave him back his old lightsaber. She smiled inwardly, but outwardly she was nervously watching what Luke would do.

To the shock of both Rey and Kyra, Luke tossed his lightsaber over his head and stalked away past her and Rey.

"What the hell...?" Kyra was dumbfounded along with Rey.

"Master Skywalker...?" Rey hurried after him.

Soon after this, Norah came up, panting from the long walk up the steps. She heaved a sigh, brushing back her long brown curly hair from her alabaster face. Her brown eyes looked inquisitive.

"So, how'd it go?" Norah asked.

"I have a feeling that this will take a while." Kyra muttered. "Let's get Chewie. I bet seeing him will change your uncle's mind."

So Kyra and her daughter went to get Chewie, and climbed back up the island, following the presences of both Rey and Luke.

"Master Skywalker? I'm from the Resistance. Your sister Leia sent me." Rey was knocking on a door of a hut that Luke had supposedly gone into.

"Go away!" was his response.

"Come out of that hut or we will be forced to come in and drag you to the Resistance ourselves! This is not a game!" Kyra scolded.

Irritated, Chewie broke down the door.

"Chewie?! Kyra!  What are you both doing here?! I thought you were dead!" Luke demanded.

"Really? Come on, Luke, you know I can take care of myself!" Kyra stared at her brother in confusion and a mixture of irritation and joy.

"We should be asking you what you're doing here, Uncle Luke! You disappeared without a trace and without even telling Leia, Mom, Dad, Ani and me!" Norah snapped, her patience thin.

"Norah...?" Luke stared.

"Easy Nor," Kyra gently chided.

"Long story, we'll tell you on the way in the Falcon." Rey said briefly.

"The Falcon? Wait, where's Han?" Luke asked, befuddled.

"You mean to tell me that you don't know?!" Kyra could hardly believe this now.

"My cousin, Kylo Ren murdered him on Star-Killer Base, and now we need your help! Snap out of this!" Norah said angrily.

"Kyra, ever since he's been here...he has cut himself off from the Force. Even I can't reach him. Neither can Obi-Wan or Yoda."  Anakin appeared to Kyra again, and his young visage radiated sadness.

"But why would he do that? That doesn't make sense, Dad!" Kyra asked perplexed.

"That's a question for another time, my daughter. I remember warning you about Ben and Luke, and you escaping with my namesake and Norah before the calamity happened. There's so much that you don't know of that night when the Temple was destroyed." Anakin said patiently said. "Be mindful, and seek the truth." 

Kyra nodded, still perplexed as her father's ghost faded from view. She watched as Luke walked away from Rey and Norah yet again after he told the two that he came to the island to die, and her jaw was set in determination. One way or another, she would find out what happened between Ben and Luke.
