Chapter 01 Strange Happenings...
Skye Organa looked pale as she made her way into the
cantina and over to the bar. Ordering a Corellian ale she headed over
to a dimly lit corner and sat down, staring into her drink. How did
she manage that? She'd never done anything like it before. Her mind
went back over the events, running through what had happened.
Skye
had been standing just outside a supply shop after completing the
business transactions that had brought her to Telos, when a speeder
flew past hitting a canine as it went. Being soft of heart when it
came to animals, Skye had quickly raced over to the poor creature and
had checked over it's injuries. Moving it back from the roadside
she had examined it. One hand going over the canine's heart, the
other stroking it to keep it calm. It's heartbeat had been very
erratic and she feared that it wouldn't make it – that it would
die.
Kneeling close to it she lowering her head, tears
escaping her eyes as she 'willed' it's heartbeat to return to
normal, her hand still over it's heart. Her other hand continued to
stroke the canine to comfort it in it's last moments. The canine's
head raised slightly so it could look at Skye and it let out a
strange sounding bark. She looked back at it amazed as she felt it's
heartbeat getting stronger and couldn't believe her eyes when it
got to it's feet and licked her face. With another bark it wandered
off and down a side street only limping slightly.
Downing
her drink she signalled the droid waiter for another. She was having
trouble believing that she had somehow kept the canine alive – she
had been certain that it would die. She was suddenly startled out of
her reverie by someone standing next to her table.
"Mind if
I join you?" a gentle voice asked.
Nodding her head
affirmative, she indicates the empty chair opposite. As the stranger
sat down she got a chance to observe him. He was dressed in a plain
brown robe and had what looked to be a lightsaber clipped to his
belt. The droid waiter came back with her drink, the stranger,
waiting until it had gone before speaking once more.
"I saw
what you did outside with the canine. That was a very kind thing."
Then looking closer at her he asked "Do you know what you did?"
Feeling a strange sensation come over her and with shock
evident on her face Skye looked upon the stranger "No, I have no
idea what happened out there. I just willed it to live... and it did.
How could that happen?"
"It is a Jedi trait. Let me ask
you something. If you had the opportunity to develop your gift, would
you take it?"
"What gift?" she asked him, very puzzled.
"I feel that you have the gift of the Force. It is very
strong within you. If you are interested I will send you the
co-ordinates of where you can go to train." Seeing her nod he got
up to leave. "I will send an encrypted message to your ship – the
Star Dancer . It will tell you where to go." With that he headed
away from her, quickly disappearing in the throng of patrons in the
crowded bar.
