The Reason Why
"It's about time for you to know why." My master said.
"Why what my master?" I said bowing before her.
"Why I taught you Gin, why I raised you." She said facing me.
"Yes my master." I said.
Flashback
As a child my master met me on my home planet of Earth. It was weird to me at that time without my training but I felt called to this forest where no one was at. Walking I realized that I would be hard to find if I got lost and fear crept upon me. I knew letting my fear control me would be bad and I continued on deeper into the brush. I was seven at the time and I still was fat and needed glasses however my perception was never clearer. I could always tell if someone was lying to me or if they were upset. Eventually I heard a figure in the distance and I ran after it. After falling into a clearing I saw a cloaked figure facing me. She told me that I passed the test and I didn't let my fear overwhelm me. Instead of backing up from fear I was drawn closer and asked,
"What do you want mam?" I was polite and my voice high pitched.
"I wanted you it is time for your destiny to be fulfilled." My soon-to-be master said.
"What's my destiny?" I asked. Kneeling down and holding me still she said,
"You will have amazing power and you will bring order to the galaxy." She said.
"Does that mean I'm like the X-men!" I smiled. I've always wanted to be a superhero.
"Not quite," my master smiled "Are you willing to give up everything you love for this power, everything you have ever cared for, or will care for, for this power?" I thought about it was I willing to cut off my sisters Sohia and Tiya, was I willing to forsake my best friends Stephen and Alice, was I able to separate from my Mom and Dad, my dogs Blue and Taz? The answer was obvious.
"No!" I said trying to sound tough but my voice squeaked like a mouse.
"Why not, such awesome power is worth sacrifice. Look." She showed me a display of her force powers, lifting the rocks and running on them with such speed I barely saw her, she threw her lightsaber and cut a few trees down, and shocked them causing them to burst into flames and with a wave of her hand extinguished the flame. I was awestruck; the power was incredible but…
"I don't care I can never give up on them, they are the reason I live, the reason for my existence, without them I am nothing!" I yelled. I knew I could never wield the power if I gave up my loved one's I would die first. Walking away she began to clap.
"You passed the final test. You will begin your training soon." She said.
"Where and how long?" I asked. I wasn't sure how I was going to explain to Mom and Dad.
"You won't be training on this planet, I know that'll make you angry but you're affinity to the force is like hurricanes and soon enough other people will force you to join them. If we leave now they can be saved from being attacked by them."
"When will they be coming?" I asked frightened, I didn't want my family hurt. She said next week and I said I'll go. I expected her to lead me to some ship however in a bright light we disappeared. We reappeared on the solitary moon Telai and then she told me to call her master.
…
"The reason why I took you in was simple. Millennia ago I had a child with Revan. I am Bastila Shan or more so just a force ghost of my old self. I raised my dearest daughter till the age of five. Already at that age I knew she would be a prodigy of battle meditation. I didn't want my daughter to be like me, a pawn of the Jedi Council or a slave to the Dark Side so I ran here. I trained bad and taught her the Jedi and Sith philosophy and one day she told me she was going to join the Jedi and help save the Republic from Sith tyranny. I let her go and as a parting gift gave her my old golden double-bladed lightsaber. I meditated and one day I was overwhelmed width a vision. I saw a man standing tall on his palace wearing Jedi robes whose presence reminded me of Revan but different slightly. I saw a man who would do anything to reach his goal. Carrying two lightsabers on his belt and a staff on his back he celebrated the New Revanchist Regime. I knew from that moment on I would have to find and raise that Jedi to make him as such. I waited until my body died but my spirit lived on because I had a purpose and so I waited till I found that person, till I found you. I instructed you into light and dark side powers, I taught you all the governmental philosophies I know of, I taught you how to be unique, to make anything out of what you had, and to wield a lightsaber. "
"My master…." I was shocked, this was a lot to swallow but she held her hand up to stop me.
"I have one final task for you; I want you to retrace Revan's steps and to do that you must go to Dantooine and recover the tomes about the Prodigal Knight and follow the tomes as best as possible to where Revan went."
"My master, if you indeed are Bastila Shan couldn't you tell me where Revan went yourself?" I asked.
"Yes, but you wouldn't learn anything from that would you, all you have to do is use your head and be resourceful." Bastila, my master, said.
"Yes, my master." Standing up I walked away and prepared my ship. After I made sure I had my two lightsabers, a staff, more crystals and materials for a lightsaber just in case, my homemade Jedi robe, and some credits I sat down. It looks like a visit to Dantooine was in order.
