Though peace is apparent, an old prophecy is
surfacing on Coruscant's Undercity slums.
And a young boy will soon find his destiny among the stars…
One
The slums of Coruscant were always dank. Even after the Yuuhzan Vong had entered and taken over the planet, it was finally getting it's old sheen of darkness back. Evan knew these slums better then anyone. Evan was a tall person, about 5,9, with fiery red hair, some people considered him special for what he could do. He could move between buildings almost instantly. That was an impressive feat at age 16. Evan also felt things when he was in the upper city. A strange calm and opening would befall him. Like he wasn't alone, like he could feel the various other beings around him. he lived in the entertainment district of lower Coruscant, and was working for a Bjorklan named Fams. Fams had given Evan a purpose after his family was murdered on Nar Shadaa, the bounty hunter haven next to Nal Hutta. Fams had given him a roof over his head, food, and a job where he could earn a moderate amount of credits to pay his rent. Evan still hated Fams, but he could always run, run away from Fams. He had been saving credits to the side for safe passage to another planet. He lay in his room, looking at the ceiling of his small room. A thunderous knock and a voice called out.
"Hey! Time to go to work".
"Coming"
he rolled out of bed and got dressed in his Civilian clothes and went downstairs. As he came about, Fams was eating.
"Here, come and get your food" he said
Evan took the bowl of food and ate it sparingly. It wasn't much, but then again, neither was he in the universe. He shuffled his shoes on and got his knapsack from one of Fams lockers. Fams made a quick dismissal gesture towards Evan and gulped down the rest of his food. Evan pushed the switch to open Fams garage. A Swoop bike was parked in the garage. He put on his helmet and started the repulsorlift vehicles engines. He moved his foot on the accelerator and the swoop bike moved out of the garage at a steady pace. He turned the bike toward the street and floored the engine. The bike roared in response and picked up speed quickly. He hesitated for a moment, This has never happened before? Why is Fams letting me use his Swoop bike? Maybe this is my chance!. He broke his concentration and sneaked back into the home. He crawled upstairs and gathered his things. He went to one of his small walls and pushed a small button. A small compartment opened and there lay a heap of credits. Evan put all of hit in his large pocket of his robes and he went back down to the bike. He attached his few belongings on the rear of the bike and turned the bike onto the street. Fams came out with a blaster rifle.
"Why you little! Come back here!"
Evan took his chance and floored the engine, he sped off and gained altitude. He smiled to himself as he looked behind him and saw Fams having a freak out. he broke his gaze and sped skyward. Finally I'm free! He thought thankfully. He pulled his bandana over his mouth as he was swept with cold air as he ascended into the spires of the middle city. Evan reduced his velocity as he centered his bike onto a ramp. Unfortunately for Evan, he had driven into the wrong lane.
Jaina Solo was tired. She had had a very long day, and was finally able to get some rest. Being a Jedi/Rogue squadron leader/twin sister was a very big deal for her over the past few years. She lay back on her pilot seat of her repulsorlift speeder and closed her eyes. Her senses then sprang to attention as she felt a presence in her mind. She felt danger, she switched the automatic pilot off and took the controls into her hands. As she rounded a corner of the sky way, a swoop bike rammed her back end, she winced as the impact shook her vehicle and she pressed the brakes. She slowed to a complete stop and sighed heavily. The onboard computer flared a mechanical voice over her console speakers.
You have been in an accident
Evan lay in the road, not sure what had happened. He had hit something, and he hit it hard. His head hurt, and he was on the brink of unconsciousness. He looked painfully over to the speeder he had hit. A woman came out of it. She was beautiful, then as he tried to speak he fainted.
Jaina moved to the teenager, she knelt beside him as the authorities moved around them. She moved the goggles over the mans face and her eye caught the sight of a jeweled necklace. An officer walked to her.
"Are you all right? I'll take this piece of shutta".
She waved a hand behind her.
"No, I will take him with me, bring all his belongings with me. Make sure he is well cared when you put him in my speeder".
The officer made a stout salute and moved the teen into Jaina's speeder. As she started the speeder and put it on autopilot, she knelt down beside the man. She felt the necklace she was eyeing and her hand started to glow. The teens hand glowed with hers. She felt something within him, a connection to the Force. She placed her palm on his head and tried to enter his mind. His defenses were much more advanced then she had foreseen, she took a more aggressive approach and finally entered his mind. The images raced through her mind very quickly. She could barely understand some of the images. She searched more thoroughly, but she pulled back suddenly as she caught his name.
Evan she thought Evan Sunrider.
