Chapter I
My training
I was born to Kieran Halcyon (also known as Corran Horn but I prefer using his Jedi name being a Jedi myself) and his wife Mirax. I am called Valin Halcyon (or Valin Horn but once again I prefer Jedi names). Upon my third birthday I began my training to become a Jedi. We were being trained on a big ship called Jedi Knight. I can still hear Master Luke say, "Anger, pride, fear, envy all lead to the Dark Side." Also in the same voice I seem to hear again, that a Jedi knows no pain or that we must use our powers to defend and not to attack. But the most important piece of my story happened when I was only six years old. I really shouldn't have seen her as she was further along then I was and Luke was adamant that as long as we were in training we were not to be distracted by contact with those out of our group. She was alone with Luke that meant she could and did learn faster then others in her group. I saw her fight off 3 training droids easily. This was shocking and even more so when I realized she could use force powers at the same time as wielding her lightsaber. Her hair was red and loose which she let fly through the air. I realized that she was dressed in green which meant that she was of the planet Dathomir (no one else would dress like that). She was only a few years older than me. She would be easy to find again. At the most there were 5 especially good Jedi. I knew that Luke had sensed my presence. I decided to go now and declare that it was just by happenstance that I was around because as I said I wasn't supposed to be there. But I had gotten bored (on free time) and wandered.
