"The awesome yellow planet of Tatooine emerges from a total eclipse, her two moons glowing against the darkness. A tiny silver spacecraft, a Rebel Blockade Runner firing lasers from the back of the ship, races through space. It is pursed by a giant Imperial Star Destroyer. Hundreds of deadly laserbolts streak from the Imperial Star Destroyer, causing the main solar fin of the Rebel craft to disintegrate." *Star Wars - A New Hope by George Lucas*
Far away in the galaxy Luke was on a planet, listening to his guardian's banter and holding exactly 3 crates full of fruits and vegetables in his hands. Next to him walked his brother, Tanry, the eleven year old boy, who was holding just one crate in his hands. Both of them were following their father, Arvis Starroy.
After they walked down the lane and found their spot both Luke and Tanry began unpacking the contents of the crates, while their father left to sign some papers.
"One day I'm gonna leave this place for good." said the boy, then he looked to the ground and hesitated. "Do you think father and mother would approve? That I want to be a pilot?" he almost whispered and looked at his older brother.
Luke sighed.
It was in moments like this that he wanted to have a voice, but he was mute and the only thing he could gesture was a nod and a smile.
He knew his guardians would not approve about his younger brother's decision, they could not afford it. They didn't like it, when Luke asked them if he could join the military, they won't like it when Tanry will ask them. They didn't have much money, which he knew, they were normal people, with workers as parents, but that could not help them that much, sometimes it was hard to sustain the family financially. Luke and Tanry tried their best to help their parents, but even they could not help that much. They could not be employed, since none of them was an adult, Luke being 17 years old and Tanry 11 years old.
Or maybe they will let it happen, since Tanry is their only child by blood.
Luke knew he was an 'orphan', but he did not feel as such. He had dreamed and dreamed the events that happened on that day…
At the age of five he was curious and one night he went out, in the desert. That night one ship had to maneuver a forced landing near were Luke was walking and they took him as captive since the boy had seen them. Apparently they had a stealth mission going on and nobody should have seen them. Then after a year of living with smugglers and getting used to smuggling and doing missions it all stopped. One day the smugglers were assigned to go over the Grey Kingdom and to steal some stuff, but during that mission their ship was destroyed with the smugglers in it, luckily Luke was not in the ship, but left at the docking station. He got to family service, but he was mute and after months trying to guess his name they had finally got it, Luke Skyward. By the age of 7 he was adopted and got a new life.
"…at least I have no school today, it's weekend…" he heard his brother and looked over the huge clock displayed on the alley not far away to see that he had one hour until classes started. That was when he got a glimpse at his father and waved at him, then hugged his brother and walked home.
Far away in the galaxy two droids were purchased by the Lars household.
After getting dressed in his school uniform Luke began pacing rapidly to the academy. The school didn't care about the weekends, he had to go every single day to the Academy and he was in the top of the classes, he needed to excel at everything, he was a perfectionist and he had to admit it.
After 7 hours of theoretic classes, 2 more hours of sparring Luke knew he was almost done for the day, so he headed to the Royal Palace…
"It equals 2x." said the Prince, Gerd Kirra and Luke nodded.
One day, after being adopted, Luke met Carth Kirra, one of the princes of the royal family and they became good friends. After that Luke was invited often over the palace to hang out with his friend and after the king found out that Luke was good at math, while his younger son, Gerd was not he assigned Luke to meditate the boy. Luke accepted it without a second thought, he had always liked the royal family. Furthermore, they were the only ones that could help Luke, he had a mental illness, he could see others aura, he could hear voices, see the future... Since the royal family found out, Luke must take two pills per day to let all his hallucinations go away.
After two hours of mathematics the king entered the room and smiled at the sight of his son trying to understand the lesson. Luke observed the king and smiled back. The king, Robert Kirra walked next to his son and looked at the exercise.
"I am going to steal Gerd for today, Luke, and tomorrow he won't get meditation but you still need to be here after school." Robert looked at Luke, who nodded and got up, ready to leave.
By the time he got home Luke was exhausted and ready to go to bed, that of course after he had eaten.
While the family was eating and different subjects were discussed Luke watched Tanry, the boy, who was smarter than the others at his age was thinking about something and being terribly quiet. Luke noticed that he can see his aura, his brother was… No. He shook his head, and quickly took one pill in, he almost forgot to take his pill that was the problem.
"Do not forget your pills tomorrow." his mother reminded him and Luke smiled sheepishly and after he excused himself he went straight to his and Tanry's room to sleep.
On the other side of the galaxy a droid was heading somewhere in the desert…
