Welcome to the first part of my fanfiction trilogy, The Crystal Light, part of my Fanfiction Stories by Theme Collection. :)
This fanfic focuses on Frodo Baggins and his love interest becoming Jedi, going through the Jedi Trials, and their adventures in the Galaxy Far, Far Away. While this is inspired by burningSunset's fanfic, Wild Child, it is also inspired by another fanfic written by Aralinn, titled Call of the Sea, which is what sparked the idea for this fanfiction trilogy.
This is an Alternate Universe or AU, focused on both The Lord of the Rings and "Star Wars", because hobbits are Jedi for this fanfiction trilogy.
So, without further adieu, I present Phosphorescence.

The Jedi have spanned millennia in the Galaxy Far, Far Away. But this galaxy is not the only galaxy the Jedi have visited. The Jedi and the Rakata species came to Middle-earth eons ago, for the Rakata messed with Middle-earth's fertile landscape, creating their own structures as well as hiding them in plain sight from passerbys and simple folk. Only the Force Users can see these structures in Middle-earth.
So, where are these ancient structures? Well, that is where our story begins, for a young hobbit lad is about to discover one for himself.
.oOo.
Frodo Baggins ran across the green grassy hills with his stick, serving as a sword, and using his imagination to conjure up invisible monsters. He was six years old at the time when his life changed almost instantaneously.
As he played in the grass, facing off against invisible monsters, he hardly imagined his nightmares coming true. And yet, they did the moment he neared a brownstone cave with a gaping mouth serving as an entrance.
He jumped the second his invisible monsters appeared before his very eyes. He wanted to run! He wanted to flee, but he knew that where he was and his way back was out of the question. He would have to face off against these monsters on his own, carrying his stick⦠no. Wait! His beamed sword? When did he get a sword with a glowing, silver-beamed blade? This made no sense!
He arched forward, beamed sword drawn. His invisible monsters, with thin, muscular limbs and tall bodies, let out a fierce, penetrating scream, charging towards him with intense ferocity. He ducked as one of his invisible monsters clawed through the air, searching for their target. He ducked again as one monster sliced the air, nearly scarring him!
He couldn't let these monsters win! He had to face them head on! He righted himself, ready for the blow, and whack! The invisible monsters were done for. They evaporated, leaving him confused. Did he do something wrong? Wasn't he supposed to attack his targets?
"You have failed," a man wearing a brown robe, a white tunic, grey pants, brown boots, and a brown utility belt said, stepping outside the cave, approaching the lad with intense aggravation. "You are young, but this task is crucial for your journey down the Light Side of the Force."
"Shouldn't I defeat my enemies?" Frodo asked, cautious.
The man shook his head. "No. Not if you wish to do them harm. A Jedi must learn to control his anger. Patience is key, but so is understanding and mercy. Jedi don't kill unless they have no choice, but it is not you who should be the one to attack these creatures. You must be on the defense at all times." The man raised his hand, causing the simulation to end and the cave to disappear.
Frodo opened his eyes now. He was in a circular room, staring at a floating ball. He made the ball float and now it was his task to use the Force to drop the ball. He focused on the ball again, watching it fall to the floor with a heavy thud. He huffed. He would try again!
"Frodo," his Jedi fosterer announced, "your clan awaits you."
"I'm coming," Frodo said, staring at the ball one last time, before departing from the room. He'd get the hang of being a Jedi yet! But what was that vision all about? Was he meant to succumb to the Dark Side of the Force or was it somewhere in-between the Light Side and the Dark Side? It was hard to say.
