Prologue
Space. Cold and infinite. That's what my life will be like at the temple. Infinite Thought the girl seated on the spacecraft's seat.
"Making our entry to Coruscant. Please, everyone take your seats."
The girl shifted in her seat, her fine white hair brushing over her shoulders as she did so. Coruscant was so pretty from up here. Bright and new. However, that was not the sight that awaited her as she stepped off the ship.
"Princess Luna." Luna looked over her shoulder at her guard, and smiled. Nodding her head, she whispered a farewell to her older sister, who was now rushing after her.
"Aurora, this is only the beginning of the end." The five-year-old girl smiled at her sister, then turned to follow the Jedi who was waiting to take her to the Temple.
"The new apprentice you are." Master Yoda greeted her, as she ascended the steps to her new home. She paused, and bowed, a faint smile on her lips.
"Yes, Master Yoda. I am." The Jedi Master smiled in return, and took her by the hand.
"Your training we must now commence."
Years flew by quickly for the young Princess. Though she was no longer officially a Princess, Luna couldn't help but feel that she didn't belong. The Force was in her, but not to make her a Jedi. One night, she lay awake fretting over her feeling of discomfort, when summons from Master Yoda came. Luna was now sixteen. Tall and slender, her white hair was tied back with a crisp white ribbon, and her icy blue eyes were wide with confusion as she stood before the door that would take her to Yoda.
"Enter you may."
Pushing the door open, Luna walked into the room, pausing to bow to her master.
"How may I serve you, Master Yoda?" It was then that she realized that Yoda was not alone. She bowed to the Guest, and was stunned when he dropped to his knees.
"Queen Luna, you do not recognize me."
Luna's face paled. She knew she was the Princess of Lian, but this she had never expected
"Queen Luna, you have to come home."
And that's when the darkness that always swirled around her feet rose to meet her head.
