A Galaxy Far, Far Away// Kylo Ren

Part 8: Training

The library was small. It was empty, besides the librarian and yourself. She was a short older women with greying hair that was cut above her shoulders. You greeted her and made your way to a computer.

It was different than the ones you were used to and had to ask for help. You got the hang of it quickly and began your research.

You learned about the different kinds of inhabitants that lived in the galaxy, from the Gungans on Naboo to the Ewoks of Endor.

You read all about the First Order and their mission for control of the galaxy. You also learned about the weapons you'd seen. The guns were called blasters here. They shot plasma energy. You also learned about their giant weapons, the Death Star and Star Killer Base, capable of destroying entire planets. You read of their destruction at the hands of the resistance.

You looked for anything about the burning sword you had seen Kylo Ren wielding the night in the forest. Nothing came up and you began to give up. You sighed and put your head into your hands.

A voice from behind startled you, "Could you mean lightsaber?"

You turned around to see the librarian looking at your search for the burning sword. You turned back towards the screen and typed it in. To your relief, a picture that matched the image in your head popped up, along with other different colored lightsabers.

You gave her a smile, "thank you."

She returned the smile and headed back to her desk. You read of the different kinds and how they were used. The Sith used red, while most Jedi had blue or green. Blue signified a warrior while green signified a strong bond to the force.

You read deeper into the Jedi and Sith. Dark vs Light. You read about a Jedi who saw the corruption of the old republic and joined the emperor to destroy it, along with the rest of the Jedi. They turned to the dark side to achieve their goal. Emperor Palpatine changed his new apprentices name to Darth Vader.

They were both killed by a Jedi named Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader's son. A Sith named Snoke took their place, with Kylo Ren as his apprentice. Snoke was killed by a scavenger girl named Rey, leaving Kylo Ren as the Supreme Leader. She was presumably the last Jedi. You had decided at that moment you would be the one to take her life.

You were never scared of death. You saw it as a natural part of life. You had been hunting before, so you had killed in the past, but every time you did it, you felt a disturbance in yourself. You had never killed another human, but you figured it couldn't be much different. You knew that everyone deserved a fair chance, but in the end, some people deserved to die, and in your point of view, she was one of them.

The sound of the doors opening prompted you to turn your head. Standing in the doorway was Kylo Ren. You turned off your computer and headed towards the door to meet him.

Before you followed him out the door, you said a quick thank you to the librarian and then hurried after him. You walked in silence.

The training room didn't take long to reach. It was up 3 levels and down a single hallway. The inside was quite large. With a whole wall of different kinds of weapons, an area for strength training, and in the middle was a mat for sparing.

Kylo Ren took his mask off once the doors were closed behind you. He placed it onto a bowl filled with some kind of ash next to the door. He looked the same as always. Black layers covering his body. The only skin you had ever seen was his face and one of his hands.

"From now on you will call me master. Am I clear?" his voice sounded angrier than usual. You could tell something else was on his mind today.

"Yes."
