"Does this look Jedi to you?" Din holds Grogu as we walk up to what we assume is the stone Ahsoka was telling us about.

I look around at the rocks that are at an angle being held up at other rocks surrounding the stone that's in the middle, "It's mysterious so- yes it looks Jedi."

Din walks up to the stone and places Grogu on top. Din backs up a little, "This is the seeing stone, are you seeing anything?"

"Give him a minute, you can't rush the force Din."

After a few moments, blue butterflies fly around the kid and it makes me remember what Ahsoka said, It's an energy field created by all living things.

The group puts his hands up trying to touch the butterflies, "Oh come on kid, Ahsoka said we just had to get you here and you'd to the rest."

All three of us get distracted by a ship approaching. At first, I think it might be imperial Din and I go to the edge of the mountain to see who is it. When it lands I can see the ship clearly.

"Din that's the slave 1."

"I don't know what that means."

"That's Boba Fett's ship I've only seen it once but there's nothing else like it."

"Should we go?"

"I mean you have his armor he probably wants me dead so maybe." Din and I turn around to grab Grogu but the force seems to be surrounding him. "Uh, you see what he wants I'll the kid." Din nods before running down the hill.

I can't hear a thing they're saying but I watch as Boba takes off his hood revealing his face. I never saw his face before because like Din he always had it on but when I see it faces it surprises me because I've seen it before. I met a couple of clones that survived the clone wars during my rebel days. At first, I actually think it's one of them but then how would they have the slave 1? No, it has to be Boba, meaning Boba is a clone but he looks younger than they were all those years ago so that would mean his aging is slower? Honestly, it's too much to unpack right considering what I'm currently assuming is an imperial ship just showed up because stormtroopers start pouring out of it. Oh, and some woman is standing next to Boba.

I pull out my blaster and I turn around to see Grogu still doing something with the force. Din starts running up the hill with his blaster also in hand, "Time to go!"

Din starts to try and go through the field surrounding Grogu, "I wouldn't-" I try to warn him but it's too late but it makes him go flying. He hits the ground hard bouncing a little before staying still. I run to his side to making sure he's okay. I put my hand on his chest and I feel his breathing he's just going to be out for a minute.

I try to shake him awake a few times but he doesn't budge. I tighten my grip on my blaster now that I have to defend Grogu and Din but looking up I'm not even sure I am too considering I just watch Boba literally break the stormtroopers helmets with his staff.

I spot a trooper behind Boba about to shoot him, he doesn't seem to notice considering he's too busy smashing skulls. I quickly but carefully aim my blaster hitting the trooper in the head. Boba looks up to where the blast came from. His eyes find me and I nod and he nods back which hopefully means we're going to forget we tried to kill each other just about five years ago.

I see another imperial ship land as I feel Din starts to move beneath my hand, "Hey easy," I say as I help him up.

Din looks down to see more troopers. "That's it we got to get out of here!" He tries again to get through the force field only to get pushed back.
