Everything surrounding me was black. I wasn't able to decide whether my eyes were shut, or open. But the darkness was all around me, cascading through my vision, my thoughts, my mind. I felt tired, yet a strange energy was pulsing through my veins, I felt clueless, but deep down in my subconscious, I knew what was happening. For now, I let the darkness take my thoughts from me. It felt like a second, or maybe an eternity before I heard the voice.
No gender could be placed to it, and I wasn't able to make out where it was coming from. But, it was a break from the darkness at least. I could see the voice though, it was a bright light, now replacing the darkness. And it spoke to me.
Do you feel it? You have been chosen Astra, you will be the Saviour, you hold the power of the galaxy in your hands. Not your galaxy, but you can feel it can you not? The strength that courses through your system. So long have your kind been blind to it. But now, I open your eyes Astra. I let you wield the power that is the Force. Only you have the power to set things right, only you can save the galaxy. Now, awaken.
I woke in a cold sweat, in a bed that wasn't my own. And suddenly, everything around me seemed amplified. The fabric on my skin, I could feel every stitch, I could see every stitch. I felt as though I was sensing instead feeling. It was weird, like it had always been like this, but I hadn't known, I hadn't realised. I looked around the room, it was covered in a white and grey wall with odd furniture I had never seen before. Everything looked so surreal.
That voice..
Snippets from what I had heard earlier came rushing to my head. The Force? What was happening? I wasn't in my room, and that wasn't some strange dream. I pinched myself to make sure. Not my galaxy. Those words stuck with me as I walked through the darkened apartment. To busy looking towards the ceiling, my foot collided with a body, and with a grunt I came toppling down, onto something soft, that also made a noise.
