Prologue
Kylo Ren always knew of the vastness of space. So many uncharted destinations and wonders; everything at your fingertips yet so far from your grasp. When he was a child, before Snoke had invaded his mind, he used to imagine himself traveling the stars with his father in the Millennium Falcon. But it was not meant to be.
Snoke did eventually enter young Ben's mind and succeeded in seducing him to the dark side. With the help of Snoke, Kylo Ren got to see the black void of space every day he woke up in the First Order ships. Not only was he seeing the far corners of the universe but he was ruling it. With every command by the Supreme Leader the vastness of space was bending to Kylo Rens will.
His uncle, Master Luke, told him nothing but horrors of the First Order and young Ben believed. He would soon finish his training, become a Jedi Knight, and win his Fathers approval. They would explore parts of the universe that they never even knew of. They would be a family once more. But like many things in Ben's life it was nothing but a dream.
Ben started to slowly die the longer Supreme Leader Snoke was in his mind blocking out the light. This did not go unnoticed by Luke, however, by Ben's young naive parents, they saw nothing wrong. Luke did his best to help Ben when he woke up in the middle of the night screaming; but what was there to do? With every passing second of Snoke in his young nephews mind, he was fading away and Kylo Ren was being born out of the ashes.
Kylo Ren fought the small sliver of the light in him the best he could using his anger to fuel the dark he tried to overpower the light. He found ways of hiding the light trying to resurface, endless hours of sparing and meditation, never ending missions, and everything he do to fill the void the light was burning in the dark. Everything was fine until the girl showed up with the droid.
Her, a lonely scavenger of a desert planet, who never left home, who only dreamed of touching the stars like he once did. She was skilled in the force in ways she didn't even know; yet the girl with the staff was so powerful. Powerful enough to invade his mind and make the light that purged his darkness even stronger. Her.
He hated her but found himself drawn to her. The girl who had the map, who was so powerful and so untrained, who got his grandfathers lightsaber and scarred his face. He hated her because she made him question the very stars he rules, she made him see the light, and he hated her for it.
But a time will come when the universe will be fully his, cleansed of the light, of her. The very power of the stars at his fingertips. Only if the scavenger would leave his mind, body, and soul, and take the light with her.
