chapter 2

You stood there shocked and found yourself staring at the little creature who returned your gaze. He was small and green dressed in a small brown robe. His eyes were big and he seemed happy. His head tilted to the side as he seemed to be figuring you out.

"Can I?" You looked at the Mandalorian who gave you a nod. You walked closer to the carrier. The creature reached out his arms as you stood directly in front of him. You smiled down and put out your hand so he could wrap his three fingers around yours.

"Oh doc, I'm going to start heading back now. Thanks again." You were too focused on the creature to look back at Jalek who spoke with fear.

When you meet another force user, the connection is intense. Like a stick to a flame, it ignites and sparks something within. You could feel the power this creature held. You could feel your life forces being connected in an unexplainable way. Your energies felt connected, as though the missing piece in you had finally been found. You picked him up out of the container and set him on the ground. You took a seat next to him in the sand. 

"What is he?" You looked up to the man whose arms were crossed looking down at you and the creature.

"Not sure." His answer was curt and not at all what you hoped for. You frowned.

"Have you ever seen him do something you found odd? Maybe things started moving for no reason?" You continued to look at the man who seemed so distant.

"Yes, he has saved me a few times." He spoke sternly. You wish he would give you a bit more details, but you were happy with any information he would relay.

"Okay kid, let's see what you got." You stood up and grabbed a coin from your speeder. It was small and golden, nothing too extreme for the little guy. You sat back on the floor. "I want you to copy what I do, got it?" He let out a small coo. 

You opened your palm and placed the coin in the middle and slowly lifted it into the air. The creature's eyes were excited and full of life. You turned your palm over and gently moved it through the air to the creature.

"Take it from me, okay bud?" He reached out his hands for it. You kept it at a good distance to keep him from physically grabbing it. You thought he had it, so you dropped your hold on it. As it fell to the ground, you frowned.

"Who are you?" The modified voice broke you out of your trance. You stood up and looked the man in the eyes, or the area you thought them to be in.

You reached out your hand, "Y/N, nice to meet you." You gave a smile as he placed his hand in yours and shook it. A pleasant encounter with a Mandalorian was always a surprise.

"Are you a Jedi?" He stated, and you could swear you heard a hint of curiosity.

"No." You were going to elaborate a bit more, but you felt that since he had such a mysterious persona, so should you.

"You can help him though, right? He needs someone to train him." There was a hint of sadness in his voice now. You looked down to the kid who looked up at you both.

"Look, I'm not really sure I'm the best person for that. He needs someone more skilled, I never had proper training." It hurt you to admit it, but you knew the kid was powerful and you wouldn't be able to help beyond a certain point.
