"Goodnight, everyone." I yawned, stepping away from the holotable.
"Going to bed so soon?" Hera asked, looking up from the hologram of the Imperial Dome.
"Yeah, using the force makes me tired. Starship, you coming?" I looked down at the gray Loth-Cat, who was purring contently in Ezra's lap. Starship merely raised his lip to show his sharp fangs of death.
"Thought so, traitor." Ezra chuckled, putting his hands behind his head and slumping into a more relaxed position.
"See you in the morning." He said, waving me off. With that, I walked away to my room. I kicked off my boots and crawled into the top bunk. Falling into a Black Sea of nightmares and dreams.

"Celeste! Wake up!" Kanan's familiar voice reached my ears, filled with a certain urgency. My eyes burst open, I was trapped. The flames were everywhere in this black abyss. Ezra and Kanan stood with their backs turned towards eachother, keeping on guard with their lightsabers. I got up from off the ground, unhooking my lightsaber from my belt. It was another bad dream, but this time, I wasn't afraid.
In order to become a Jedi, I needed to face my fears. I couldn't run away anymore. Suddenly, six blades lit up amongst the flames, spinning on their axis. It was undoubtedly the Inquisitors. The Seventh Sister jumped over the fire, trying to strike me from above. I ignited my sabers, pushing her blades away from mine. Her black boots skidded on the black abyss' surface.
"C'mon, guys! We can do this!" I yelled, looking to my left and expecting to see Ezra. But he had disappeared, I looked for Kanan, but he was gone too. I was alone in the void. I tightened my grip on the saber. Not only had my allies disappeared, but my enemies too. Even the fire was gone, it was only black oblivion.
"You should've join the dark side."
"A Jedi is a user of the light, not the dark." I countered the disembodied voice,
"Then join the Sith."
"Never!"
"Yet, I still sense your anger."
"Jedi can be angry, it's what you do with that anger that matters." I said, waiting for another saber to show up, but it never did. Instead, I was surrounded by the mechanical breathing in the darkness. A Jedi must confront their fears.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore, Vader. You killed my Father, my Mother, but I won't run away anymore." I took a deep breath of bravery, my force was all around me. The light was overtaking the dark, but it wasn't over yet.
"I'm a Jedi." With that the ground shattered beneath me, light pouring into the dark abyss. I fell into the light, it was everywhere. But I felt no more fear, I only felt the balance.
*Celeste finally did it! Celeste is finally a Jedi alongside Ezra! Stay tuned for more chapters!*
