A short taster for what's to come in my Ahsoka series, I'll be adding other chapters later. All rights go to Lucasarts and George Lucas (Who I am not).
-33BBY
I was once asked what was my earliest memory? Some might say something sweet like being hugged by a parent, or having a birthday. Me, I can hardly remember my life before the Jedi. My home world was one of the most beautiful in the galaxy with mountains and forests and the deep green jungles, and that's all I recall. My parents are gone from my memories now apart from the sole diamond shaped markings I share with my father and fuzzy memory brother. But I don't count them as memories, I can't see a clip of my early life flash before my eyes, it doesn't count unless you can.
So my earliest memory must have been when the pirates came to town.
Actually they could well have been smugglers or bounty hunters or any other number of criminal types. Pirates at my young age just seemed to be the first thing to pop into my head. Then there was the alien. I'd never seen another life form that wasn't togrutan before and I'll admit that I was scared at first.
I remember that he ran faster than any man I'd ever have seen before, he carried a weapon so beautiful but so deadly, it simply radiated power. The alien ran through the streets after some other strange beings and I followed, at a distance at first then I gradually ran faster. I remember him saying that he didn't want to hurt anyone but the pirate forced him to go back on his word and strike down a group member. The other pirates gave up moments after their first comrade died.
I remember my terror and fear turn into awe and wonder as the masked alien returned to his ship. He called something up into the hull of the machine and apparently got an answer. My father had located me and carried me into the café behind us. Why we went in there I don't know, I suppose we just wanted a drink. We got far more than that.
I don't remember much more, just the alien speaking kindly to me, holding out his hand. I copied his actions and before I know it I'm on my way to Coruscant. That was my earliest memory, short and sweet I suppose.
That chapter was most definitely short. Like I say this is just a taster, I'll be adding more on later. If you review quick enough you get to decide if you want 1st or 3rd person (yeah that's just a lame attempt to get people to review). But if you do review (PLZ DO) constructive criticism please!
