"Tayno, wait up!" Benzi called out, racing through the streets of Naboo. His Master, Tayno Esoor, was moving rapidly, despite the crowd of people. Benzi struggled to keep up, and he wasn't even sure what was happening. One moment, Tayno and him were calmly socializing with the natives. The next thing he knew, Tayno caught of glimpse of something and began to run after it.
Benzi clutched his lightsaber for dear life, as he had become very attached to it over the past couple years. Still a Padawan, Benzi had a while to go before becoming a Jedi, about a year or two more. Tayno and Benzi had become very close friends, and it saddened him to have to move on, but he promised himself that he would eventually make time for his old friend.
Finally, coming to an abrupt stop, Tayno stuck his arm out, stopping Benzi from running any further. "You wait here. I'll handle this myself." Tayno growled, and with that, he launched himself up on a windowsill, hopping from rooftop to rooftop since they were relatively low. Benzi stood all alone in the street, placing his lightsaber back in his pocket. It was very humid that day, and honestly, all he wanted to do was sit in the Palace and dine with the Queen. But he was there for other purposes. Tayno was called in to monitor any Separatist activities on Naboo for the next couple of days. So far, there had been nothing, but Benzi assumed that what Tayno saw was droids. A few minutes past, and Benzi found a shaded spot and sat in it. He was sixteen, and excelled at using the Force and using his lightsaber. Tayno even said he could be like Anakin Skywalker, the newly appointed Jedi Knight that he admired greatly. He could only wish to be like Anakin. Sometimes he caught a glimpse of him in the Jedi Temple, but Benzi was much too shy to say hello to him. Someone of such power wouldn't want to talk to a Padawan like him, anyway.
After what seemed like hours, Tayno appeared from one of the back alleyways, scaring Benzi senseless. "What took you so long, Master?" "Droids can be a little pesky. Come, Padawan. Let us head back to Coruscant. I must speak to the Jedi Council of what I have seen. You also are in need of some rest, possibly back at home?" Benzi bowed his head in respected, agreeing with Tayno. They raced off to their starfighter, Benzi overjoyed with the fact of going back to Coruscant.
Hi guys! So, this is the beginning of my new Star Wars fanfic, and my first one! I really love Star Wars, so I hope I do it justice. This story does take place from where Attack of The Clones ends to when Revenge of the Sith ends. This was just an introduction to get you to be a bit more familar with our main character, Benzi Dalian, a sixteen year-old Padawan who feels that all that matters is to impress the other Jedi and become one of the best Jedi that ever lived. But he will find that sometimes, things aren't so simple, and things that matter most can be taken away, easily.
So, leave me a review so I can see what you guys think, it'll be a huge help for me. Thank you guys, and stay awesome, Gotham. -April
