"The marks people leave are too often scars." - Lyra Escara had fulfilled her father's dream of becoming a Padawan learner at a very young age; as a small child hearing his tales of the Rebellion, she'd longed to learn to ways of the Jedi Code, and hoped to bring peace to the galaxy as a Jedi Knight. It was at the Jedi Temple, as a youngling, that she met Ben. What started as a friendship and the tiniest distraction from her studies evolved into something more; something she'd throw away her dreams, memories, and hardships for. Little did she know, Ben was in pain; he was close to becoming something that she despised, something that brought a bad taste into any Jedi's mouth. And, in the center of it all, inflicting Ben's pain, was none other than Lyra herself. After all, Ben was her world; and she, his stars. - Book One
