Disclaimer: Do not underestimate the power of the force. (You thought that I'd write "I don't own Star Wars" or something like that here, didn't you? Well then, if you think that I actually own Star Wars, you are a retard.)

The story takes place a long time after the movies. The Galactic Civil War is now just a boring chapter in history books and the Sith are starting to rise again.

Did I mention all of the characters here are mine? Nope? Well, you know it now. Let's get to the story.


Jedi Knight Xen Kanath hastily rode on his speedbike over a plain in Tatooine. It had been hours since the twin suns of the planet have set. The Kel Dor jedi paid no attention to the 3 moons in the night sky, or the cliffs surrounding the plain; since he was on a mission and had no time to enjoy a view.

As Xen approached to his destination, a solitary house on the outskirts of a town, he felt a disturbance. Maybe the kid's father arrived before him. He suddenly wanted to get more faster, but the speedbike was already at its limit.

When Xen arrived to the house, he saw another speedbike outside. He was late. He quickly stopped his bike, jumped down and started to run to the door. As he put his hand on the handle, he heard an intense scream of a woman followed by the crying of a baby.

It seemed like the kid's father had just arrived. He was too late to save the kid's mother, but there was still hope for the child.

He rushed inside, one hand on his lightsaber on his belt.

"You shouldn't have come here, Xen." A large man in a black cloak stood over the woman's body, his dreadlocked hair was touching his lower back. The house consisted of a single room, and the only light illuminating the room was the red glow of the lightsaber in the man's hand.

"That's my line… You shouldn't have come here, Mandris.", Xan replied.

The man was getting angry. "I am here to take my son with me, and you won't be able to stop it!" he said as he turned his face to Xen. Xen was seeing his face for the firs time in about a year, and he realized that the face was drastically changed. In fact, the right half of the dark skinned man's face was now covered with metal, and his right eye was completely white, the eye was most likely an implant.

"The Dark Side has changed you, my friend." said Xen.

"Indeed, it changed me. It gave me power!", the man said with a grin on his face. "Too bad that you didn't realize the power of the Dark Side, you are a fool for not realizing it and because of your foolishness, you shall perish tonight!"

Mandris leaped on the Kel Dor, swinging his lightsaber. The jedi was swift to activate his own and parry the attack, clashing his own blue lightsaber against the red one.

The dark jedi attacked aggressively, landing blow after blow. Xen was able to parry all of them, since Mandris was attacking in a slightly comprehensible pattern, but he was slowly pushed out of the door.

He then understood his enemy's tactic. The dark jedi was trying to push him to the wide outsides, so he would be able to use his aggressive attacks better.

Just as they went through the door, Xen broke his pattern of parrying. Instead, he dodged Mandris's next attack by moving to the left and swiftly swinged his lightsaber upwards, cutting the dark jedi's right arm from the elbow. "Damn!", the man shouted in pain and anger. He took a few steps away from Xen, holding his severed arm.

"I'm sorry, my friend, but now I have to end your life; for I don't wish you to be succumbed more into the dark side." Xen said, as he prepared his lightsaber to strike.

The man said nothing. He suddenly turned around and jumped on a speedbike. He gained more speed as he rode away from the house and the jedi.

Xen thought of jumping on the other speedbike and following him, but he stopped when he heard the cry of the baby. He deactivated his lightsaber and went inside near the infant.

He instantly realized that the baby was strong with the force when he held him in his arms. The baby also felt the force around him and calmed down. The baby was dark skinned just like his father, and he carried an orange crystal around his neck…

The lava crystal Mandris used when he was a jedi, when he wasn't seduced by the dark side.

"I will raise you into a jedi," Xen said more to himself than the baby. "…Keelan Thorn!"

18 years have passed…

Keelan Thorn was watching the sun of Coruscant set from the window in his room in the jedi temple. Earlier that day, he had attended to the knighting ceremony, and he now held the rank of Jedi Knight.

He felt the presence of his master just outside the room. He came as we have planned, he thought. He turned his face to the door.

Xen Kanath, now ranked Jedi Master, opened the door and stepped into the room. His former padawan was there. Xen looked at him. Ironically, Keelan favored dreadlocks, the same hairstyle as his father. He looked like his father in many ways, and behaved like his father in many ways. Xen feared that one day, Keelan would follow his father's path to the dark side, he feared that he would lose his apprentice, and another friend to the darkness.

"Congratulations again for your knighting.", Xen said. "I know that you are fluent of with the force, and had a knight's abilities by the time you were 15, but you needed to be an adult physically to become a knight."

"I understand that." Keelan replied. "And I don't mind. All I want to hear now is what you will tell me about my father."

"I know that I promised to tell you the story after you were knighted, and now I won't break my promise. First, we should take a sit." The two jedi sat down on a pair of chairs and the Kel Dor started to tell.

"Your father and I were friends… Old friends, since we were nothing but padawans. We often went to missions together and fought side by side, both before and after we got knighted.

About one year after the knighting ceremony, your father started falling in love. He loved a young padawan named Sheila, and the girl had feelings for him too. I warned him many times that these feelings were dangerous, but he didn't listen to me; he was a stubborn one, really.

And eventually, he and the girl escaped to marry in another planet, which one I don't know. The girl gave up the Force, destroyed her lightsaber and prepared to live a fairly normal life. Your father destroyed his lightsaber too, but kept the lava crystal in it, the crystal that is in your lightsaber now.

But your father didn't give up the force, he secretly continued to practice it. He then got bored of the life he was living, he wanted to be powerful, not to live a simple life with his family. So he somehow found the Sith and joined their ranks, leaving his pregnant wife behind.

Then you were born… Your father, thinking that you would be strong with the force, since your parents were both force sensitive, started seeking for you and your mother. He found you on Tatooine, living in a small house. He then traveled the Tatooine to claim you and raise you as a dark jedi. I traveled there too, and encountered him in your house after he killed your mother. We dueled, I injured him and he ran away. Then I brought you to the temple, you were raised and I took you as my padawan… You know the rest of the story."

There was a moment of silence. Then, Keelan stood up and walked to the window to watch the now dark-blue colored skies.

"Thank you, Xen…", he said. "Now I… I need some time to think and…"

Xen understood what the boy tried to say. He left the room without saying a word, leaving Keelan alone.
