A/N:

Okay, so starting off I'd like to say that this story is pre-old republic or ancient republic? so if your here for some Anakin, Ahsoka romance, you're in the wrong page (also what's wrong with you man she's like 16 years, sheesh). I've been bouncing around this idea around in my head for a pretty long time and now I've decided to get it over with. since I've already got the plot down i'm kinda sure that i won't be having any writer's block. The biggest problem is actually typing down the story since I'm new to the FanFiction UI, I'm having difficulty getting proficient. So if you find that my spacing is off or I've made some critical errors PM away. I'm happy to receive any feedback. This story has been sitting in my laptop for quite awhile now and i want to know if it has any sort of value to it. Since this is the first time i'm uploading you guys get a lot of chapters (cue applause). Now, I've tried to be true to the canon as much as possible. every species of animal, alien and planet will actually exist in the star wars universe and will actually have been mentioned at some point. except for the Drakons everything is canon. also i tend to be a little philosophical so expect some serious depth in the force and its interpretation. all force powers are possible and viable and there will be no overpowered or seriously outrageous force powers. expect a lot of death pain and suffering cuz this is a tragic story. I'd also appreciate it if people review, constructive comments are welcome and so are Trolls, cuz there is no such thing as bad publicity. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas they are always welcome to PM me. so if that's all lets dive in.

Star wars: the Drakon Saga

Prologue:

"The Force, a mystical energy that has escaped the understanding of the majority of the galaxy. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together. For many centuries the Force was used in a variety of ways, the Ratakans used it to power their empire and their colossal war machines, the Jedi used it to bring peace and order and the Sith used it, on many occasions, to bring the galaxy to its knees. But why is it that the nature of the force is dictated by the emotions of the user? Why is it that the force of its own accord influences events on a galactic scale? What drives the force to be forever stuck in an endless loop? Stuck in an eternity of battle between good and bad, light and dark, Sith and Jedi. These are questions that have escaped even the wisest of us. But what do I know? I'm just and old man who's lived for too long, I don't even have a single black hair!" The children sitting in front of the old man snickered and the Wise One smiled, his heavily wrinkled face cracking and showing crow's feet near his eyes.

The congregation sat underneath a huge redwood tree, the wind caressing the land on a sunny day. The Jedi temple's grounds were always a favorite spot for the masters. With acres of lush grass fields and towering trees from every part of the known galaxy, it was a place of serenity. In the distance was city, gleaming towers scratched at the sky and speeders buzzed around.

A small wide eyed Twi'lek girl was having an animated conversation with her neighbor, a brown haired human, apparently oblivious to the fact that the Wise One was looking at them until he croaked "Shayna, would you care to involve the rest of us in your debate? It seems rather interesting I must admit."

Shayna looked up at the Wise One and said tentatively "umm, Master, umm"

"Come on use your words, and don't be shy" the Wise One said. "Well, the force is an energy field created by all living things right?" the Wise one nodded, "yes that's right".

The girl now confidant asked "then is it possible for other living beings to use it, too?"

The Wise One said exasperated "Words Shayna…"

"Right, what I meant was, can animals, wild animals, use the force too. Is it possible for the birds, the rats to use the force as well?"

The boy sitting next to her, named Jason said "Shayna's gone crazy!" the rest of the class laughed as the girl blushed and fiddled with her nekku.

The Wise One coughed and the group fell silent "that is a fine question dear, the force is present in all beings, some have a stronger connection while others have a weak one. This is true for animals as well. But, to use the force one requires a strong will, intent, and knowledge of procedure to shape ones thoughts into actions. Animals generally don't have that but on rare occasions animals do use the force."

The children listened intently as the Wise One wove into his lesson, his green aged eyes now twinkling with hidden knowledge. "But this is mostly instinct driven, wild and unpredictable. Take for instance the beastly rancor, its immense size should not have been viable for it to stand on two feet. Its bones shouldn't have been able to support its weight, no biological material can withstand such immense weight. But the bones have a structure that allows it to stand, walk, run even jump. Some theorists believe that this is because the rancor instinctively draw upon the force to help. The force molds its body, gives it strength. Here the force acts as the conduit, it provides where the being lacks. There are records of many animals showing such discrepancies, some of which are now just legends."

A blue skinned boy with variegated red eyes spoke "you mean drakons…." The Wise One smiled mischievously "oh someone's been listening to their bedtime stories…yes drakons are one such legend, it is said that they were reptilian horse sized animals with wings and could breathe fire. However, these aren't legends….drakons did exist a long, long time ago" the Wise One's eyes now seemed far and lost.

Jason broke the silence by saying "how is that possible Master, drakons are legends, just stories told by mothers in the night. If what you say is true there must be some proof." The majority of the class nodded while the rest still pondered the implications of what the Wise One said.

The Wise One looked at Jason and smiled "Ah, Jason, forever the pragmatist. Yes there is proof, for I have seen them. Seen them in all their glory." He reached into his cloak and pulled out a simple necklace. The thread was leather and held a shining, almost iridescent blue scale encased in a silver bracket with claw like protrusions holding the scale in place. He held it up and showed to everyone and passed it to the nearest pupil. The pendant was passed on and everybody oohed and aahed.

Once its travel ended and returned to its owner, Jason looked at the Wise One tenderly caressing the scale and asked "how did you get that master?" the Wise One said "That is a long story little padawan, and it is not part of our lesson today."

A human girl asked breathless "Please tell us master, please." The Wise One raised his eyebrows "I was told by Jedi grand master Senuca that I was to instruct you in how emotions affect the usage of the Force. But ….. If no one tells him….."

"We won't, we won't, promise!" shouted the class unanimously. The Wise one laughed in a booming rich voice. He took out a box of cigarettes and put one in his mouth. He lit it, took a deep puff and said "then come closer young padawans for this is a story not just of drakons. But of good and bad and how the planet we now live in, became the home of our order….."
