I was flying in my tiny ship through the outer rim getting a last look at the galaxy for a while.
It's been a year since Naboo.
They've tried contacting me asking me to come back but I've ignored them.
For the past year I've been searching the galaxy for E. I haven't even found a lead.
All hope was lost.
"Don't give up, They said" I told myself mocking my family
"Well I'm done ok! I don't care anymore! I'm going to live the rest of my sad life on a deserted moon!" I yelled
Tears started flowing from my eyes. I jumped to lightspeed and fell asleep. I woke up a couple hours later and jumped out of lightspeed.
I opened a map and realized I was close to my destination.
I turned the ship and went to the micro moon.
Eventually I made it. There are beautiful mountains everywhere and very little water.
I flew around taking in the scenery until I found a small semi flat area with a small river running through it.
"Perfect." I said
I landed the ship in the closest lake and walked to my sleeping area.
I grabbed my lightsaber and pistols. I walked to the door.
I opened it up and water cane rushing in. I jumped out into the lake and swam upwards. I was swimming for ten seconds before I hit air and was able the breath. I floated on the water feeling weightless and peaceful. I could sense the happiness of the creatures all around. I could hear the wonderful noises of nature.
After about two hours I swam over to the side and climbed up onto the surface.
A sudden breeze hit me and I was cold almost instantly.
I used the force to dry my clothes fast so I wouldn't be as cold.
I stood there taking in the surroundings, feeling the vibe, and knowing what time it was.
Eventually I walked over to the opposite side of the lake to find the river I was looking at.
I followed it down stream until I made it to the area.
It was flat in parts but was raised as it got further back.
I looked around for any loose stones or rocks but all I found were pebbles by the lake.
I looked to the ship under the water and knew I had to get rid of it. I took my pistols and shot the ship multiple.
After a while it started making a hissing noice so I ran for my life. I was running as fast as possible until there was a boulder I could hide behind.
I saw one and ducked behind it. As I did their was a muffled explosion sound and water went flying everywhere.
I waited until all water has stopped raining from the explosion. When it did so I came out from behind the rock and looked at where the lake had once been.
It was no longer a lake, just a hole with a bunch of rocks and other minerals inside it.
"Sweet" I murmured to myself
I used the force to take the chunks of rock out and carry them over to the flat area. I started making little structures until I heard some footsteps from behind me.
"Who's their?" I ask I I take out my lightsaber
It turn around fast to see Jaxelax standing before me.
"You seriously ran away?" He asked
I nodded my head and walked away.
He started chasing me and I stopped. Eventually we were side by side.
"I can't deal with that life anymore. I'm done with training Jedi. Fighting for others. And doing what I want. Anytime I do something it always ends up bad. I came here to live the rest of my life in peace." I said
"You're even dumber that Tienoto." He said jokingly
I looked at him with a glare then jumped up to ledge on the side of the mountain. When I got their he was waiting for me.
"You have to search your feelings. You know this, you also know one day you will be found, you will teach an apprentice and you will fight once more." He told me
I looked at him then kicked him off the ledge. He fell a hundred or so feet before disappearing.
I jumped up the rest of the mountain reaching the and finding him sitting on a rock of ice.
"Time. It's the most valuable thing to anyone. It can be precious or it can be terrifying. But you're going to spend it like this? Living on a deserted moon being depressed because you couldn't control your anger? You are better than this. So why waist your time?" He said inspirationally
I looked at him and then a my the scenery.
"It's beautiful." I said as I looked down at the setting sun.
I turned around to see Jaxelax crying.
"What's wrong." I questioned
He only looked up and pointed at me. We were starring into each other's eyes before he began to slowly disappear.
"Until next time." He said softly
I was alone on top of this freezing mountain.
"I've disappointed everyone! I'm done!" I yelled as I threw my lightsaber as far as I could.
I jumped down and found a little grass patch.
I looked around and saw my lightsaber floating in mid air.
I walked over to it, picked it up, and then, threw it again. After I did this I walked back to the grass patch and fell asleep.
It's now been two years since I last saw Jaxelax, blew up my ship, and started making my home.
Everything is so nice, so peaceful. I live at peace with the animals. But they know I'll cook them if they eat my plants. So every now and again I get a delicious meal.
The small huts are built and I have enough food for the rest of my life.
I walked out of my hut with a smile on face. I walked around a bit to find some decent shade to meditate.
Eventually there was a comfortable enough spot so I sat down and closed my eyes.
I was sitting there for a good few minutes before I heard a whizzing noice. I opened my eyes and saw my lightsaber flying around me in circles.
I stood up and said "It has been a long time."
"Indeed it has." My brother said as he appeared with my lightsaber in his hands.
"What do you want?" I questioned
"It's not what I want but it's what she wants." He said as he pointed in the sky.
I turned around to find a ship coming closer. My eyes widened and I turned back to my brother.
He held out he lightsaber and said "Do what's right." before disappearing
