Her second chance

Tales of a Jedi

He was walking, gently, of course, he didn't want to break the only surface that was preventing him from taking a 1594 meters lap...
So, step by step, he put his foot in front of the other, using the Force to lighten himself.

-JEDI! You will not escape from my army!

The man froze. Without turning around, he sensed the owner of the voice. It was a hutt. Jaggo 'uoma!
Chief of the Hutt clan of Evocii, leader of the Maldorian army! If the Jedi was his target, then he would probably loose the fight. He had to think of a plan.

- My clan will get its revenge! Thieves are well punished for their crimes!!!

And the Jedi Master answered...

-I guess so...

He then grabbed the precious weapon tied to his chest. And a green light brightened the dark! It was all like Pjjjhhh..... viooviooshhh!!!
The hutt stepped back, he was so afraid! He couldn't walk on the bridge, he was too fat and would probably fall and DIE!
But NOW, the Jedi in front of him was walking towards him, LIGHTSABER IN HAND! AND WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT GOING TO END HIM!!!!

"Stop, Yaoban! Stop telling your stupid stories again!"

The young boy turned his face to see where the voice came from, quickly followed by his younger public. He looked annoyed at his friend.

-They are not stupid!

-Yes! Yes they are.

The boy stood up, facing the one who stopped his story. At his feet was a group a children, still frightened by the incredible adventures of 'enter jedi name' the Jedi Master.

-Well tell me, why are they so stupid to you?

-It is not how it would have ended, calmly responded the girl carrying a metallic bucket.

-Well, tell us, how would it have? Or should I say, how DID it ended?

-These are not real! This Jedi didn't even existed! And you know that Jedi don't KILL. That is like, one of the first rules. If they do, then they will en... the girl stopped. She closed her eyes and then opened them, watching the inside of the bucket, then looked up to the Kerzak.

-Anyway, Yaoban, these are not legends, nor stories to tell. Especially to kids who are supposed to be sleeping by now! She said a little louder, throwing a glance to the small group. They all gasped and quickly ran away to get to bed.

-Quick quick quick! If someone sees you, you're all dead .

She waited until everyone was gone and only her and the yellow skin boy were left. She still had the bucket in her arms.

Suddenly, the boy sighed. He didn't look upset, more like sorry, the girl noticed. She opened her mouth to say something, but he stopped her.

-No, it's me. I am sorry. I...I just-

-Wanted to make them happy?

-To let them forget their lives during a short time. But I know, I shouldn't have tell them so fool tales.

-Yao... replied the girl, not really expecting a answer. She just stared at him with a gentle smile, but sadness in the eyes.

He was still looking at the ground, and sat down, on the straw mat. He rested his back on the wooden box he was sitting on earlier, when telling his story.

It was quiet, the night had fallen about an hour ago, there was no one in the tent to see them still up. There was only an oil lamp to lighten the inside, forming shadows on their faces and creating a small fire in their eyes.

Yaoban was looking at the entry of the tent. There was a fent where we could see the sky.

-No stars today... he said in an undertone.

The girl looked at the fent. Her smile disapeared.

"Nor yesterday, nor tomorrow."She thought.

She walked to a shelter and put down the bucket. Easily, like it was a routine, she blew on the flame inside the lamp and joined her friend. She sat just next to him. He sighed again, and she sighed too. He didn't flinch when she laid her head on his shoulder. Only the two moons illuminated them now.
