~Chapter 1~
On Kalee, forests spread over it's surface, joined with the polar tips of Grendaju. A few kilometers away from the main city of Kalee, a country-side temple home sat in a valley.
A reddish-brown skinned girl sat on the temple-like roof, leaning on her back to look up at the stars. Her black bangs ruffled in the night air, showing that her spiked hair turned from black to deep red. She shifted her position, moving her arms to behind her head.
"Hey A-7, how many ships do you think pass by Kalee?" the girl asked aloud, keeping her sight on the stars.
A droid popped it's head out of the window below the roof.
"Well, a few, if you include the transport ships that come to and from here." A-7 answered. The hand-made droid went back into the room, but poked it's head back out again. "But Mistress Vaati, you should come down from that roof. Your mother says it's almost dinner."
Vaati sighed, rolling her eyes. She got up and swung into the window from the roof, landing in the room swiftly on her feet while giving A-7 a heart attack.
"M-Mistress! You shouldn't do that!" A-7 complained.
Vaati laughed lightly, "Sorry A-7." She looked around her room after noticing A-7 trying to leave.
"A-7... Where's the extra battery pack I had on by bed?" she asked, tapping her foot.
A-7 looked at her, blushing (if a droid could), "N-Nowhere, Mistress. I-I don't know where it is."
Vaati narrowed her gold eyes, making the droid wince. She outstretched her hand, "Give it."
"B-But Mistress-"
"You were programmed to follow my orders, not lie." she sneered. "Give. It."
The droid followed her orders, taking the battery it had in it's hand and gave it back to Vaati. Vaati set it on her bed.
"A-7, your a cleaning and a technical droid that my dad made out of scrap-" Vaati started, but was interrupted by her mother calling from downstairs.
"Dinner's ready!"
Vaati gave a small annoyed sigh and walked towards the door.
"Mistress, what were you about to ask me?" A-7 asked, curious.
Vaati stopped walking and looked at the droid about her size. "Just never mind... It's dinner." she said, turning and walking down the stone steps of her temple-like home.
When Vaati got downstairs, she walked through a large room and into a dinning room. A round table was spread out in the middle of the room; having food served in the middle and two eating places set. The table, below the food and the eating spots, had a Kaleesh crest on it.
Vaati sat down at the table, and was quickly joined by her mother, a human about the age of 46. Her mother had red hair, and she had a worn down tan dress on. Vaati served herself, and set her plate down, watching her mother. Her mother caught Vaati's gaze and set her plate down as well.
"Yes?" her mother asked, noticing her intriguing look.
"Tell me that story again." Vaati pleaded lightly, eating a bite of her food.
Her mother sighed and shook her head, "Vaati dear, I've told you a million times." She took a bite of food as well.
"Please?" Vaati asked. She could see some caring look when her mother looked at her.
Her mother held her tongue for a few moments.
"Alright, then." she answered calmly after the pause. She got up from the table and walked into the large room.
Vaati's face and eyes lit up. "Yes!" she said quietly.
She ate a few more bites of food, then followed her mother into the large room. They walked to a holo-projector, and as Vaati sat down in front of it, her mother flicked it on and held the see-through remote screen in her hand as she sat down next to Vaati. She tapped the screen, and holo-images shown from the holo-projector as she told the story of a Kaleesh Warrior.
