Welcome to my story! For those of you who don't know me I'm Winterdays. I am a huge fan of Star Wars and have been writing a fanfic for it since around April. This is an edited version of this story because I decided to go back and fix some errors I made when first writing this. So I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: Flashback 10 years (Prologue)

Anakin pov:

Leaving home was a hard decision but I was going to become a JEDI. The word was pasted into my brain. I imagined carrying a lightsaber and learning how to fight. Maybe one day I'll even become a Jedi master with an apprentice and everything! My thoughts strayed from my family until the moment I had to leave. Before exiting the house I said goodbye to my siblings, Katie and Will. They were so young Will, age 6 and Katie, age 4, today being her birthday. Their blue eyes shined with the gleam of held back tears. I hugged them hoping one day I would see them again. I said goodbye to my mother and left.

I went into space for the first time with my new master. I looked back at my planet, it looked so different from here. You could see small sandstorms on the surface with clouds looming above the small creases, that were actually giant depressions in the sand. I couldn't find where my village was which was discouraging ,but it didn't faze me to travel far away from Tatooine where I experienced my first fight with an apprentice of a notorious Sith Lord. The farther into the depths of space we got the smaller the planet I had once dwelled became smaller with distance. It soon disappeared no different to a dream, that you want to remember. Soon this planet became a distant memory. Everything I had once held close to my heart; friends, and most of all my family, were only blurred images in my mind.

My journey as a padawan was rapid, I was told I showed great potential by some, and to others I was no more than an orphan who wasn't found in time to meet my full potential. Especially after the death of my original Master Qui Gon, members of the Jedi Counsel wanted to send me back to my barren planet.

Fortunately Obi-Wan vouched for me and decided to take me in under his wing. I was so thankful for this. Obi-Wan became more than just my Master that day; he became a trusted friend and somewhat of a father figure, something I lacked when growing up as a slave. Now I'm a teenager getting ready to face the trials in hopes to become a Jedi Master.

Though I had to focus on my training, I still remember the promise I had made my family all those years ago before departing them. I will go back and liberate my village from the slavers and start a new era of peace and prosperity for them, without the fear of being taken away from their families.

No pov:

But, Anakin never could dream that all the people he loved believed him to be dead. He was considered a hero among the pilots, but on Tatooine he was no more than a dead boy, who was freed and so close to accomplishing his goals. Rumors spread that the battle that killed Qui-Gon at the blockade had also killed Ani. That he red faced horned demon that wanted to destroy him on Tatooine had succeeded in his mission.

His family mourned the loss of Ani, and their work would never be the same without their beloved optimistic and innovative brother by their side. Their smiles faded and the cheerfulness they had once shown was no more than what could have been considered a beautiful facade that hid their darkness. But, a fire stilled burned inside this seemly depressed and helpless families hearts, one that would shine through the darkest of nights and fueled a movement for freedom in a galaxy filled with many evils. Ones that none of the Skywalker children could be prepared for. The evil that was so enticing to unknowing people, who allowed fear and emotion control their lives.

A darkness that would turn siblings against each other in a war that would most certainly lead to loss.
