CHAPTER 1

Here I stand, between two crossroads: a path to the light, and one into the darkness. So much

runs through my head, I have to start from the beginning. Through my parents' death, and the chaos

within the era of the Clone Wars, I wonder what brings salvation and what brings destruction. Or does

it matter? I am born among the Force by reason unknown, and raised among the Jedi and their nature. A

society of peacekeepers who protect the galaxy from the dark-sided soldier known as the Sith. Given to

my first and only mentor, Shaak Ti. Trained on her world of Shili and various missions, she though me

everything about the Force, and how to use it for the better. Those times brought joy to me; my first

lightsaber, my first time levitating multiple objects, and my Trails of Knighthood.

That joy ended. In it's place, war. The Clone War began on Geonosis, and soon to spread across

the galaxy. The deaths took its toll on everyone, even me. The only surviving member of my family, my

brother, who I loved so much, perished during the waning days of the war. Devastated by this, feelings

instantly took over. It was in front of master's eyes I took out my anger on an innocent. A touch of

darkness entered me. My master, horrified by the sight. I felt lost and broken. To my only resort,

someone called out to me; someone in the dark. His face came to be the generous Chancellor

Palpatine, who showed me the choice of gaining more justice than that of the Jedi, and to even to

subdue them completely. The revealed truth of his guise, led me to believe the Jedi were at fault for the

war; their numbers spread across the galaxy, their existence in which increased the war, and their

attempt to overthrow the Senate. It became clear.

Even more, now that I am witnessing it for myself. The Chancellor, lying on the edge of death.

Master Windu, preparing to strike him down. The glow of my green lightsaber, caught his eye, but

came too late. I acted with anger, hatred, and desperation. It was then, that I began to show my true

power as lightning overcame him, and suddenly killed him. Overwhelmed in my actions, I ultimately

pledged my allegiance to my new master, and thus became known as Darth Xion.
