Prologue
Zonama Sekot
Forty seven years after the Battle of Yavin
Luke looked up at the sky, which appeared to be divided and ambivalent. To the west a sun was shining and there were hardly any clouds in sight. To the east, he could see the darkness of an overcast, low, lightning-filled atmosphere. It was that moment when you did not know whether the storm was in retreat, or if it was about to take over the firmament above.
The master turned around to make sure that the shuttle door was closed. He spent the short trip into the system in meditation. He was mindful of his inner, ongoing relationship with his former masters. At his age, he identified with them more and more. His white hair and beard and his cane were partially responsible for this. Yet, deep inside, he continued to feel like that nineteen year old at the beginning of his adventurous journey.
A lot has happened since that time. It felt like more than one lifetime. Despite his sharp mind the events seemed to become confused in his memory. His relationship to his long-gone wife Mara and his son Ben were the easiest to focus on. All the other historical events – conflicts, victories, and defeats found their place in relation to the thoughts and memories of those two beings. He missed them both. Nevertheless, Masters Obi-Wan and Yoda continued to guide him. He felt that he was one with them more so than ever before.
It took Luke some time to recover from his last fight. The unique environment of this peculiar planet, Zonama Sekot, definitely helped him to get back his strength. He came back to visit and thank those who attended to him during that time. He started walking towards the village of La'okio.
