Prologue:

"Look mommy, I can make it go higher," a girl with brown hair said as she levitated a small rock in the air. A woman with the same color hair watched in pride for her daughter. "That's amazing, Kyra. Soon you'll be a jedi like your uncle," Leia told her. Unknowingly, the son of the family was watching from behind an X-wing hanger. Upset, Ben Solo-Oregona ran into the nearby woods.

'Why? I don't get it. Why does SHE get all the attention, the affection? Why does SHE get it all and I get nothing? Am I not important, needed, or wanted? Am I..a /burden/ because I don't show off my connection to force like SHE does? Should I even stay or should I leave?' These were the thoughts of the four year old boy as he ran farther into the forest without sparing a glance at his surroundings. Slowing down, the boy looked around and spotted a cavern to his left. 'Maybe I should stay there for the night. It's not like they'll notice that I'm not there.' As he walked closer, he began to notice strange symbols decorating the mouth of the cavern. "I've never seen symbols like these before. I wonder what ancient culture did they belong to," he wondered to himself as he entered.

Suddenly, a white light illuminated the formerly dark cavern. Tensing, Ben pulled himself away from the light. Then a man wearing a white tunic with a hood was standing before him. "Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Glowering, Ben muttered none of your business before he was lifted off the ground by the stranger. "Well, I'm the last guardian for the Brotherhood of Assassins. The name's Desmond. Now, who are you kid and what are you doing out here?" The young boy sighed before explaining his situation to the assassin.

When he had finished, Desmond had half the mind to pay a visit to Ben's family. Instead, the assassin concocted an insane idea. "Ben, how do you feel if you were personal trained by me in the ways of the brotherhood and you live with me," the older brunette asked. Without thinking, the child tackled the assassin into a hug. "I would say sign me up," he muttered into the older man's stomach. "Well then, welcome to the brotherhood."
