The shadowy winds swept slowly and silently through the empty plain. Nothing moved or disturbed the silence that had enveloped the landscape beyond. Off in the distance a small flash began to grow larger and larger. The strange object descended on the overgrown grass below, in a massive canyon in the land. As the back of the object opened, a figure stepped out to observe the landscape. Silently, the figure jumped up on to the ledge of the canyon, and swiftly walked through the trees ahead.
Things had change in the quiet tree village of Treecrop, on the planet of Kashyyk. The wookie villagers had been talking about some sort of ship landing on the outskirts, near the canyon. Some of the wookies were very cautious walking through the trees. Things were definitely not the same. But of course, young Leonardo could not understand what was being said. He was a human who had moved with his mother from the planet Coruscant. Leo did not know his father and was an only child. He could always be found playing with all the wookie kids around this part of Kashyyk, and for this outcast, things were about to change.
Leo was walking along the base of the trees by the water. The small waves lapped onto the beach and forced sand further towards the trees. The sun was setting and his mother would be getting worried. Leo turned around and began to walk towards the tree entrance closest to him. The light was completely gone now, and Leo was still on his way back home. Leo stood still when he saw the flames up ahead. A scream came from one of the tree huts. Leo ran to his house, his mother was trying to get out. Fireballs were raining down on the trees all over the place. Wookies were running around and diving into the water below. "Leo, get out, save yourself" Leo's mother screamed. He was caught in a crossfire, Leo wanted to save his mother, but didn't think he could. Fires were burning everywhere and destroying the home that Leo had come to know and love. Now this horrible thing was happening.
A wookie came and picked Leo up and ran away from the house. "No!" Leo screamed. The wookie jumped off the tree and landed on his feet in the sand below. Leo watched as the huts burned away. Suddenly a huge burst of flame exploded from what was Leo home. "Mum!" Leo screamed. All the wookies watched as the trees collapsed down and burned away. Leo lay on the ground in a puddle of tears. He was all alone now; he had to find his own way.
