The Fallen Order

Chapter 10: Across The Stars

"So I lean back against the window and gaze out into the night sky. For my love lies out there, across the stars."

Eight months later............

I leaned against a pillar and silently watched the lesson that Yoda was giving the younglings.

They remind me of myself when I was training. Especially the younger ones who still awkwardly hold their sabers.

But although it is still awkward they held their lightsabers proudly.

And that makes me smile. They are proud of what they are, proud to be Jedi.

Even though most of the galaxy hates us they are still proud of what they are.

It is the only thing that keeps me happy and sane in this time of bordem.

We have been on this planet for eight months. Eight very long months.

But despite everything we are still strong, still surviving.

We all set up camp in the Father's castle.

Once the shelter was sorted we needed to figure out how to get food and water.

The Father and his children don't need to eat or drink so there wasn't anything drinkable or edible on the whole planet. 

So every week a small group of us leave through a portal the Father makes for us and we raid markets at night.

The outside has gotten worse, much much worse. Palpatine's reign of terror has spread fast across the galaxy.

Hundreds of people have tried to resist him and they were shot down by his Stormtroopers which is what they call the clones now.

I have desperately begged the council to allow me to go to Coruscant to meet with senators who I know are our allies. But they have strongly refused.

This has caused a minor rift between us. Or at least made the one I already have with them a bit bigger.

" It's kinda creepy how you just stand here and watch them like this." Ashoka's somehow still cheery voice beams from behind me.

I shift my body slightly so I can look at her.

A smile tugs at my lips when I look at her new outfit.

" You finished it."

She smiles and does a 360 turn, her feet gently grazing the ground.

" Took me a couple of months but it was all worth it," She smiled," Maybe I can wear it on missions." She shrugged.

" If they let you out of that." I scoffed then turned back and continued watching the younglings.

The older bunch were now pairing up for duels, the younger ones watched in awe as two of the older boys slashed at each other.

They were good I'll give them that but their forms were still slightly off.

" Seriously why are you watching them?" She asked again.

" They remind me of a simpler time when we were all young-"

" Stupid." She chuckled.

" Yeah well jokes on you I'm still stupid," I laughed.

" Ain't that the truth." She mumbled.

I chuckled. 

"But what I was going to say was back when we were young and had no responsibilities. We didn't have to worry about missions and weighing our decisions in life and death situations. I would just love to go back to the days when I could just train and then go to my room and just be alone."
