Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, but I do own a certain cute little girl, a few nasty pirates, a mean trader, and neglectant clueless parents.
Authors note: Most of what the ewoks are saying are translated into basic for your (the readers)conveinence. :)
Summary: This takes place soon after the Ewoks episode: The First apprentice. At least in my mind :) watch it on YouTube. Zarrak's pretty much a Dark-side ewok. 0.o Scary.
After Zarrack falls down into the abyss, he manages to land on a ledge . He climbs back up to find some humans there, too exhausted to fight, the Evil Overlord wanna-be fuzzball is sold as a pet to a rich powerful family on the outer rim. From evil antagonist to a little girls only "friend"...will he turn from his evil ways? Will the little affection-neglected girl finally have a friend, or will he escape to exact his revenge on Endor and break the poor girls heart? Read, review, but don't flame. With that I present....*drum roll*
Pink bows and magic spells
Chapter One: Captured!
Falling was such a sickening sensation. The wizard's stomach threatened to regurgitate his last meal, but this was the last thing on his mind. His ego was crushed. He had been defeated, but not for long. All he had to do was climb back up...and..and..well he didn't have a plan for after that, but he knew he'd get that sunstar, for it was his destiny to rule Endor! The ewok shivered. it was so much colder than in the top part of the cave, but it was better finding out whatever was at the bottom of the abyss he had meant to throw that little fool oh whats-his-name into.
He walked to the edge of the ledge that had saved his life, he had helped to though. It didn't take much concentration to change your trajectory with magic. He was just lucky the piece of rock was there. The ewok winced as he remembered his less than dignified landing, and rubbed his sore behind. The furry biped yawned, he needed to rest. When he was rested he would climb up...then ...formulate a plan! He frowned, deep in thought as he went back into the cave for some sleep...what exactly was his plan going to be?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It had been an exhausting, three hour climb. Magic would have taken more energy, though then he would have gotten up faster. He collapsed on the ground, then heard voices.
" Who...goes there!" he sat up, and noticed his vision was becoming very blurry. Oh, Kavark! Two men came closer, he couldn't understand thier strange language. Who were these guys? He tried to cast a fire spell, but he was too weak. He collapsed again.
" Well, looky here! Came in for shelter from the rain, and found ourselves a fuzzy friend." said the deep grqvely voice of a fat but tall Chiss. His grab was that of what many would recognize as a pirate. He wore several necklaces made from teeth, droid fingers, and even a few organic digits. The human next to him, a young man, rolled his eyes.
" What do you want to do with him, keep him as a pet?" the boy spoke with a thick Correlian accent and much sarcasm. His fellow shipmate snarled.
" We are here to pick a those yuzzum slaves who runnt oft. Me thinks we may as well get something for our troubles." reasoned the greasy blue man with an equally greasy smile, which was as yellow as his eyes were red. The boy just shrugged. Just another slave to sell, or in this case, a pet to trade.
" I'll comm the ship to pick us up after they've got the runaways. Maybe we can sell it to some traders."

The Trader eyed the fuzzy creature he had paid quite the reasonable sum for, and it looked quite miserable in its little cage. He chuckled darkly.
" Does the little fuzzball want out of his cage?" he mocked. The ewok didn't even look at him. Zarrack watched the man leave then observed his surroundings. He wasn't sure where he was, but it looked like a storage room. It was dimly lit, and there was a constant shaking. Unbeknowst to him, the shaking was coming from the engines. Of course he didn't know what an engine was.
"Psst! Over here!" He couldn't stand in his cage, so he twisted his body around to see a yuzzum.
" They grab you from your village? Tough luck buddy. Your going to end up a PET!" The yuzzum was quite old, and laughed in a very..odd manner.
" HEEEEEAAaA.. hohohohohohohohohWHOooAAAA!" He took in a breath sharply, then abruptly stopped. Zarrak just stared. He was constantly being surrounded by morons and freaks. The yuzzum didn't stop talking for fifteen minutes.
" ENOUGH!" snapped the ewok. " Do you have ANYTHING useful to say?" The yuzzum looked absolutely heartbroken, but Zarrak really didn't care.
" Sorry...it's just...I haven't had a friend in years...not one that I could talk to and understand..."
" I am NOT your friend!" Zarrak exclaimed. The yuzzum glared at him.
" Fine. Be that way, but now I'm not going to help you get out of here." With that the yuzzum fiddled with his cage lock, and got out!
" Hey! Wait!' The elderly yuzzum turned around. " I think we can help each other. I'm a wizard, but I can't cast any spells because I'm to cramped to move my hands. So if you let me out, We'll escape together." The yuzzum smiled widely, ran over , and quickly began unlocking the ewoks cage with his"special trick".
" I'm Telnor, by the way...what's your name?" Telnor asked eagerly as the ewok stpped out of his cage.
" Zarrak." he smiled wickedly then laughed. Before Telnor could ask, Zarrak had cast a sleeping spell on the yuzzum. The old being dropped to the floor and snored loudly.
" Heh heh hee" The twisted ewok chuckled at the yuzzum's foolishness. He dragged the poor thing over to his former cage and shut the door.
" Sorry." He whispered to the sleeping form without really meaning it. " But I don't need some old fool slowing me down. Goodnight!"
Now he just had to find a way to get out of the strange, shaking storage room exact revenge on the one responsible for this outrage!
