FOREWORD: Welcome back, we are continuing with Seth's story of how he became a Jedi….

The Beginning (Continued...)

Chapter 2:

Seth woke in a bed, not realizing what was happening to him. At first, he thought he had a strange dream, until he looked at his arm. His arm was bandaged, and he had tubes running through his arm. He looked around realizing he was in a white room. He looked around only to find similar people, either sleeping or unconscious, with tubes coming out of them also. Then the details came slowly back to him.

He had just killed a Sith. He remembered the creature's bone-chilling voice, and its lifeless clothes. He remembered how the strange creature tired to kill him, and his desperate attempt to dodge the deadly strikes.

He was about to get up, when a droid came up to him.

"Please, stay in your bed. You have not been given permission to leave your designated area," said the droid in a forceful, but soothing voice.

"Why am I here," Seth asked in a confused state.

"I'll answer that."

Seth looked to the entrance way and saw a hooded figure, clothed in a brown cloak.

"Thank you T2-68. I will take it from here," said the visitor.

"Very well master," said the medical droid, and left the area to tend to other patients.

"I see you have woken," said the visitor.

She had taken her hood off, and Seth saw a person, with two head tails, and green skin. It was a Twi'lek.

"Hello Seth, my name is Su'ca. But I am better known as Jade."

"Um… Hello Jade, not to be rude, but where am I, and what are these other people doing here, and would I have done to deserve such attention?"

"Do not be afraid Seth, I am a Jedi, and you are in a Naboo Intensive Care Unit. These other people have also been hurt at the recent festival."

"I remember seeing a brown cloak such as yours, and then my world went black. Was that you in the brown cloak? Before I passed out, I remember seeing a brown figure dressed like you."

"You are very observant Seth, and you were right, it was I who was going to retrieve you from the Sith's control, but I had failed in my mission."

"And about that… why was the Sith after me? I did not do anything to deserve such interest."

"Seth my friend, there is a time and a place to learn the truth. Here is not that time."

Seth was about to rebuke, but Jade cut him off and said,

"Seth, there is a different reason why I came here. You have the potential of becoming a Jedi."

"Me? A Jedi? You must have the wrong person."

"No Seth, you do have the strength to do good, and change the universe," said Jade speaking more passionately now.

"A real Jedi, this could be my chance at adventure," thought Seth. After coming to this thought, Seth said,

"Yes, I will learn the ways of the Jedi."

"Excellent, now there are a few things in order before we leave. First you must bid your family and friends goodbye, and pack only your most important possessions. Comfort is not a luxury at the Jedi Academy."

"Yes I will do it right away."

"Great, the space shuttle leaves early tomorrow morning. I have some unfinished business to attend to, and I cannot go with you on your trip there."

With that last comment, Jade stood up and walked gracefully out of the door.

Seth had never dreamed of becoming a Jedi. He had heard stories about the near extinct people, and how they came back into existence. He was enthralled at having the chance of learning the ways of the force, and doing good deeds.

After Jade left, the medical droid came back to him, and said

"I see Seth that your wounds have healed instantly. You are free to leave at any time."

Seth had wondered why had his wounds had healed so quickly. He remembered that when he woke up, he felt a slight twinge in his arm and after Jade left, he felt completely normal. He pondered what could have been the cause of this miraculous healing, and then he came to one conclusion. It must have been Jade. She was a Jedi. Jedi were capable of healing minor wounds. Felling revived, Seth said,

"Thank you T2-68 for your wonderful hospitality, I will be leaving then, good day to you."
After Seth had left the medical unit, he raced home to tell his family about these recent events. He had hoped that his family had not worried about him. Once he reached the front door, he was instantly greeted by his two younger sisters. They had screamed,

"Seth is home! Yea! Mommy Seth is back!"

"Hello honey, I was just staring to get worried. I thought you and Tupa had gone out on one of your adventures."

"No Mom you are never going to believe what just happened to me. I am capable of being a Jedi, and I have the choice of going to the Jedi Academy! Isn't that great!"

"Oh Seth, how wonderful! When will you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. First thing."

"Well, there's no time to waste, I have to pack your things, make you some food, and I don't think there is enough time………," said his mother in a panic.

"Mom calm down, I'm 16 years old, I'll be fine."

After the engagement, Seth went up to his room, and packed only his most valuable possessions. He could not even sleep that night, in eagerness of the next day.

The next morning, Seth had only one thing on his mind, the Jedi Academy. After he got up, his mother was in tears.

"I know you will be a great Jedi Seth, I hope you will never forget where you came from."

"I won't Mom. Bye, see you soon."

After Seth said his final goodbye to his mother, he knew he would not see his family for a long time.

So that's where my story ends Joplin. I went to the space docks, and made it aboard the ship. And here I am.

"I can't believe that you met a real Jedi already," said Joplin in an excited state.

Suddenly, the intercom voice said aloud,

"Attention Jedi, we have reached your new home of Yavin 4. Please exit the ship carefully, and pick up your luggage. For now, please strap yourself in, for we are entering the atmosphere. Anyone who is still standing after the next minute will most likely receive minor head injuries."

This was the moment Seth had been waiting for. He was about to leave the transportation ship, and start a new life among the Jedi.

After the message had ended, there was a scramble to find an empty seat. Joplin had sat down right next to Seth.

Seth had taken a liking to the Calamarian for his real interest in his story. Nobody had ever really paid much attention to him, and he was truly amazed at the kindness of Joplin. He hoped to continue this new found friendship.

Seth then felt a sudden jerk, as the ship entered the atmosphere. Nobody was still standing, and Seth had a sudden feeling of nausea.

"Entering an atmosphere is much different than leaving one," Seth had concluded to himself.

He had to use an extreme use of self control to keep himself from throwing up because of the g force, but he had managed it. Seth felt the ship glide gently in the sky, then felt the ship dip down. He heard the roaring of the engines coming to a stop, and felt the ship land easily on the landing area. This was the beginning of a new adventure.
