It was the morning as the sun shone at its highest point. An older brother and younger would race for the last time. This event would be the death of his wife and daughter of the older brother. This was due to the foolishness of the younger. Months passed and the eldest known as Yeager would move from world to world. Marcus the younger would continue to enter races. Earning fame for himself as an ace pilot.

It was on an early morning walk that Yeager came a crossed a stunning wonder of color. Made by a field of flowers that seemed to stretch on for miles. Red, Blues, Greens, and more could be seen. Heavenly and relaxing smells touched his nose. Despite this wonderful area. It was only him and a boy. He was standing a few feet in front of Yeager. Appearing to stand in the center of the field as if waiting for something or someone. He dug into his jacket pocket. Holding up a single small vial containing a green-colored liquid.

Pausing for a moment to look at the red flower on his right and then a blue one to his left. Opening the container, he allowed a couple of drops on the red and repeated this with the blue. This caused a soft luminescent white glow to bath them. Suddenly bursting into tiny sparks that came together to form two small creatures. As the natural brown color on their coats came back. Shaking themselves off and blinking to take notice of their surroundings. Yeager noticed that they were voorpak.

These voorpak wasted no time jumping into the kid's arms. He dropped to the ground laughing with joy as the two pets licked his face. As he sat up. "I thought you two were lost forever after that speeder hit you."

Now it was Yeager's turn to shake off his surprise. Did someone just bring their pets back from death? "Can I ask you a question?" Yeager said with a step forward.

"Hello, I didn't see you there." He stood up a brushed off his pants. The voorpaks one on each side of the boy now just as the flowers had been moments earlier gave barks of happiness. "You want to know if what you saw was real?" The animals started running around their owner in circles.

Yeager responded with a nod.

"I brought these two back from the grave." He said keeping his eyes on the excided creatures. "They were hit by two folks who were treating their speeders like pod racers." The last few words came in a harsh wispier as his eyes focused on Yeager. "Broke loose from there post and fled our back yard. Always do enjoy finding new areas to play the sisters do." Shifting his eyes down at the two pets now having huddled next to each other. Fallen asleep in front of their owner's feet.

He bent down on one keen to stroke the animals gently on their heads.

"Why did you feel the need to have this information?" He said giving Yeager a distrusting look.

He went through and explained everything that had happened a few months prior. When he was finished. The pet owner paused for about a minute or so. His eyes shifting from the sleeping voorpak to Yeager. As if deciding whether or not he spoke the truth. Putting his hand in his jacket pocket. Removing a full vile of the same color liquid as the last. Handing it to Yeager he began to examine the petite container.

"Are you a doctor or did you happen to come by this?" His eyes still focused on the contents as he asked this.

"My family and I are part of the Church of the Force." His face was downcast as if speaking about this to a stranger was the biggest mistake of his life. His voice was sad. "Twenty-four hours after the accident. We prayed for forty days and nights. My family and I begged for a cure or at least some relief from the emotional pain. Over the next month, my folks were granted with visions. The Force blessed them with knowledge at a small cost, however."

Yeager was now looking intently as his adversary spoke. "There memories were wiped the next morning after making these potions." He breathed a sigh of relief knowing the information couldn't fall into the wrong hands. "I was the one given the instructions to come to this place by the Force." He opened his arms including all of the flowers around them. The yawns of the creatures squeaked at Yeager's ears.

"Thank you."

"Trust in the Force."

With this, the pack passed Yeager to head for there next destination.

He took in the sight one last time scanning the splash of rainbow color surrounding him. Closing his eyes listing to the soft rustling of the grass. Air from the breeze gently caressing his face. With one sharp inhale he slowly opened his eyes. Removing the core of the vile. Taking a few steps forward to two flowers that appeared slightly bigger than the rest. Yeager repeated the actions allowing a couple of drops rain down on each of the plants.

They slowly turned gray wilting away to their death. Dropping to his keens in shock his mind began to race. What had gone wrong? Had he been given poison? Did he simply pick the wrong two flowers out of thousands? Either way outside of cloning itself. This was the last chance to bring them back.

"Your purpose is not with those deceased but, with the Colossus hope of the galaxy." Said a mysteries voice seeming to come from all around him.

What did that mean? "Colossus hope of the galaxy." There had been peace in the galaxy for some time thanks to the rebellion. The last few words of the sentences ran over though his mind several minutes. Could that mean many ships coming together for something or is colossus the world being used as the name of a ship? Yeager had the whole day to figure out what it all meant. Before he'd possibly forget some if not all in the morning. That would be the will of the Force.
