The Starwalker

Prologue

285 A.B.Y.

In room 152 of the Anthwar hospital on Coruscant, doctors were rushing about trying to save Lillia Starkiller and her soon to be born child. The child is going to be a son under Darth Dispous, formerly Marot Skywalker. Marot had turned to the Dark Side when a galactic war broke out amongst The 3rd Galactic Empire and The Alliance of Free Planets. Marot was joined by his other son Acemun, now called Darth Revad. Dispous, along with Revad, had stopped the war and placed himself as leader of the Great Galactic Order

Lillia had married Marot before he turned and they had Acemun. They were happy for 5 years until the war broke out. When the war raged for 10 years, Marot had finally had enough. He used the full power of his Force limits at the Battle of Naboo and fell to the Dark Side, calling himself Dispous. He tempted his son with his Dark powers and ended the war, with Revad at his side. When Lillia thought that Dispous would restore the Alliance, she was wrong as he claimed superiority of power.

Lillia soon got pregnant again after the Order's establishment. She thought it would bring Marot back to the Light Side of the Force but it only led him down a darker path. Marot wanted to bring about a new age of the Sith and form a dynasty. When she heard of his plan, she divorced him, but this only enraged Marot.

"OOOOWWWWW", was heard by the doctors once more. They knew that Lillia was dying. They knew they had to save the child and if possible the mother of the galaxy's hope.

"You're doing fine Miss Starkiller.", said a nurse.

"You try going through this pain then. These wounds have been inflicted by my ex-husband. He wants his son." Lillia stated, adding, "You have to hide him. Just save him."

Lillia's labor was induced by Dispous, after he attempted to retrieve his son. He wounded her setting off an early pregnancy. All of a sudden, Lillia's vitals went into a decline. With her life on the line, the doctors and nurses rushed to save her and the baby.

But Lillia interjected saying, "Forget me, save my son. He is the only hope this galaxy has. He needs to-OOOOWWWWWW." Lillia cried once more. The doctors knowing it was time.

The on-duty nurse told her to push when it was time. After 4 repeats of this procedure, a crying baby boy was revealed and given to his mother. He was a true Skywalker, from the dirty blond hair down on his head, to the glowing force presence that even a small Force sensitive could discern. Lillia felt this, did what was best, and cloaked her son's Force signature. When asked what the Skywalkers' heir would be named, Lillia stated, "He is a combination of two great Force families. To hide his true identity is wise. Therefore, my loved son will be called Artus Starwalker."

Artus heard his name and opened his eyes, revealing shimmering blue orbs staring at his mother. He giggled happily before falling back to sleep, caused his mother to cry. She decided to finally turn Artus over to the Wookie nurse standing in the hall. The nurse walked the hall and set the crying human baby in its crib with the other children in the infant ward.

Lillia, however, could feel a dark presence, and knew that Dispous was here for their son. As soon as he entered the room everyone grew cold. His golden-orange eyes making contact with his divorced wife's dark blue.

He spoke with authority to the staff and said, "Get out and leave us alone."

The doctors and nurses turned to leave while Dispous spoke with Lillia. They wondered what might happen but left that to their imaginations.

Lillia asked, "What do you want Dispous?

Dispous growled his response, "I want my son. I want him to unleash his potential, not waste it with the Jedi. The age of the Sith is near and it must come from my ancestor's blood."

Lillia told him with a smirk, "Our son's gone and you won't find him. Not now. Not ever. I've hidden him from your dark influence."

"Acemun and I aren't the only Skywalkers. WHERE IS MY SON?!" roared the Order's Leader.

"He's not even alive. I had an abortion so your dream of a Sith Dynasty wouldn't be fulfilled. You aren't even human anymore Marot. You lost all connection to the Skywalker family when you joined the kriffing Sith. You stupid idiot!" Lillia spat with fire on her tongue.

Dispous had enough, and walked across the room to close and bar the door disallowing and hospital staff to enter. Stepping across the room to Lillia's bed, the former Skywalker heir had one thought of action on his mind. Using the Force, Dispous raised Lillia out of her hospital bed and proceeded to choke her. Tears were in her eyes but not at the thought of dying. Her mind was thinking of Artus, who was wailing down the hall. As she gave her last breath she begged Artus telepathically, "Be safe my little son. Save the galaxy when the time comes."

At hearing his mother's voice in his mind, the human child stopped crying. He quickly forgot this and started to drift off into slumber. Before that was possible, the door to the infant ward opened up, revealing a man in brown Jedi robes and black hair on his head. This man was Jedi Knight Pinail Riggett, Lillia's former Padawan. He knew which infant to retrieve and what to do with it, because of a request from Lillia. The Jedi picked Artus up and started to soothe the young child before Dispous could do anything.

"Hello there little one." he said before opening the door and walking out. "You seem in need of a story. Once upon a time there was a little boy named Anakin." Pinail proceeded to tell the story of the entire Skywalker heirs and heiresses leading down to Artus's father, brother and finally Artus himself. As the kind Jedi Knight finished up the story, he started to carry the child to insides of the Jedi Temple. He entered the Nursery where he laid the heir of the Skywalker in a crib. This action set off the chain of events of the Starwalker, who would bring peace to the galaxy and balance to the Force.


Hello Newly Initiated Starwalkers, I am THEguitarist117, the author of this story. This story is based upon the SW galaxy in our time. So if you ask, it's "Now in a Galaxy Far Far Away." All these "events" are going to be based upon Artus's life. Artus is my OC including most characters in this tale. Some characters to be introduced in the next chapter are Shayla, a female human who will be big in Artus's life, and Garen, Pinail's son. Note I don't have an update schedule because this is my first fanfic.

So until then, read, review, and if I feel like it I might read some PMs. Until next time, Starwalkers.
