Sula fell to the ground. Her blue eyes shimmered in the moonlight. Blood dripped from her nose.

"Young one, try harder," Atreus said, reaching out her hand to Sula.

"I know Master, i'm sorry its just-"

"Never apologize, Padawan." Sula nodded. She grabbed her saber and put it on her belt.

"Alright, training is over for today. Go rest up, tomorrow is a big day." Atreus walked out of the dojo. Sula made her way to her room. She was bruised from falling so much and her body ached. After a long walk down the corridor she finally made it to her room. She took off her robes and boots. Sula grabbed her light saber. She studied the hilt. All the magnificent detail put into one, little thing. She put the hilt on her dresser and got ready for bed.

"Get up Youngling," Atreus said, storming into Sula's room. Sula groaned.

" I don't want to get up yet. Five more minutes!" Atreus rolled her eyes.

"We are leaving in twenty minutes, I expect you to be ready. Meet me in the gardens. Atreus walked out and slammed the door behind her, causing Sula to wake up.

"Ugh," Sula got out of bed and stretched. She got out her robes and boots and started getting dressed. She tied her brown hair into a loose bun and grabbed her saber.

"Time to go," She sighed heading out to the garden. When she reached the garden she saw her master meditating. She was floating above the quartz bench. Her purple hair was tied up and her brown robes were waving in the gusts of winds.

"Ahem," Sula coughed. Atreus gasped, startled.

"Oh you're ready,"She said making her way to the ground," Let's get going." She quickly started walking, causing Sula to run to keep up.

"Master, where are we going exactly?" Sula said, panting.

"It's a surprise."

"Ugh," Sula signed," Master please just tell me." They turned to the corner and Sula saw a star fighter.

"Alright Sula lets go," Atreus said, entering the ship.

"Wait, we are flying?" Sula's jaw dropped."A Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor," Sula whispered under her breath, admiring the beauty of the ship. The yellow paint shined in the sunlight.

"Well, are you coming or what?" Atreus stood impatiently at the entrance of the ship. Sula snapped out of her day dreaming.

"Oh...Yes, sorry." She ran into the ship, Atreus following behind her.

"Now, strap in." Atreus started up the ship. The engine shook the ground below. Excitement flowed through Sula. She only got to fly on special missions. She couldn't help but smile.

"You must be excited," Atreus chuckled.

"Oh, yes Master. The only planets I've been on are Alderan and Coruscant."Sula giggled. Atreus always loved making Sula happy. She was an orphan. Atreus only wanted her to feel like she had a home.

They landed on Tatooine, and got out of the ship. The heat gushed in as the door opened. The sunlight blinded Sula.

"I need to visit a friend before our mission," Atreus said, walking out of the ship into the crowd of merchants and tourists.

"Wait, mission? What mission," Sula yelled across the crowd.

"I told you we have a mission."

"No, Master. You didn't." Sula caught up to Atreus. Sula was amazed by all the languages being spoken. All the races of merchants and tourists.

"Jiddo!" Atreus wailed.

"Atreus!" A merchant ran towards the duo with arms open. He was tall with dark skin and big, yellow eyes. He wore tan, ragged clothing and had an orange cape over his shoulder.

"Long time, no see old friend," Atreus said, hugging Jiddo. Jiddo looked over Atreus's shoulder.

"And who is this?" He said. He put his hand out to Sula. She shook his hand.

"Sula Mood," She smiled.

"Yes," Atreus bellowed," This is my padawan."

"Ah, I see. Very nice to meet you Sula."

"You too." She smiled and he grinned.

"Now, the parts you need," Jiddo waved his hand.

They followed him to a small, stone hut. Jiddo grabbed something small, wrapped in cloth.

"Here you are." He handed Atreus the item. She reached in her pocket and handed him twenty credits.

"Thank you, Jiddo." She unwrapped the item and there Sula saw a blaster.

"Wow," Sula gasped, looking over her shoulder.

"Let's get going Sula." Atreus said, walking out of the hut. Sula waved goodbye to Jiddo.

"Thank you for stopping by," Jiddo exclaimed, waving goodbye.
