You've seen the wars raged throughout the galaxy. Republics have fallen, Empires rose, and Resistances were started. You've seen the leaders and the heroes of these times, but what about the everyday soldiers? What about the stormtrooper who's had enough of his Empire's brutality? What about the corruption of the Senators of the Republic? What about the tales and the stories of the smugglers and the spies, and the men and women of both sides? These are their stories. These are their battles. This is their legacy. An anthology collection of short stories written for The Kessel Run: Star Wars SmackDown and other competitions.

For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.

There once was a legend of a being in long past With the might of the gods, but a heart frail as glass Many a folk had once gathered, many a voice in their praise Catching wind to the hillside, the king's blood a blaze For their might was far certain, like flame of a beast So the king sent his armies, and they fled to the east To kill upon prey, from father to son Until their might had lost favor, to no longer run Trapped in a cage, they were sent across sea To die in the waves, to die in what's free Until fear wakes the memory that the night glimmers a star A star of long past, singing a name we call Almar To rise from the ashes, to a world set a blaze To strike fear in our hearts, until none stands but praise

Thanks to @lantea- (Holly) for the cover! Thanks to the @SupahBadCommunity for the 1st place win in their contest ***I have never read the X-Men comics; most of my knowledge of the X-Men universe is based on the movies. Character descriptions vary because the actors don't look exactly like their comic book counterparts, and things were changed for the cinematic universe. This fan fiction is nowhere near canon. All respect to Marvel and their ownership of the X-Men characters. I wrote this for fun, and it's meant to be a humorous adventure.
