Rey had spent the last three weeks following Luke Skywalker around the island of Ahch-To. She knew it's well-trodden paths like the back of her hand by now and found her way to the practice area without realizing where she was going and considering it was Dawn that was quite a feat.
She started her well-practiced warm-up routine by working with her staff at first moving to the right and then to the left as she moved through the serious of fighting moves, before switching to the lightsaber, her movements took on a Zen -like quality… The lightsaber buzzed and hummed as it moved through the air. In a sweeping motion moving from right to left without realizing what she was doing rate cut through a solid rock pillar.
Above her on the path making his way down to the practice area Luke Skywalker witnessed Rey cleaving the stone into pieces thinking to himself, she wants me to teach her! … What can I show her?
Finally, Luke called out to Rey saying, Take a break for a moment! … Sitting with his back to the cliff face Luke gestured for her to sit, he himself was silent for what seemed an eternity when Luke stated, I think you have been tapping into the force your entire life. I also think you didn't know you didn't know that you were.
"Tell me, can you understand droid?" Luke asked.
Momentarily taken aback not only by the question but the frankness of the question itself Rey stated, Yes… as easily as I understand you now.
"I'll bet you can pilot the Millennium Falcon like you were born to it", Luke said grinning like a schoolboy.
Y-yes, Ray stammered once again in a strangled and surprised tone of voice.
"Jedi are born, not made Rey… and you are a Je'dai" Luke states.
"I don't expect you to understand, Not yet"
Later that day Rey was sitting eating a meal when she asks; Why did you!
"Why did I come here!" Luke asks taking a seat, pondering the question, he said in a grave tenor, "Imagine feeling the thoughts and emotions of everyone on the planet all at once no matter where you went"
Rey shivers at the thought, saying, "That's"
"Exactly… I had to learn" Luke said, a bit sharper then he intended.
"It's too much for any one person to beer, but I had no choice"
Rey was about to ask a question but thought better of it waiting as Luke took a bite and said matter of Factly, "Your still new to all this and you can still walk away, if you continue... this is something you will have to face yourself"
"That's quite the pep talk" Rey said in a snarky tenner.
"It was not meant to be" Luke replied quietly, "When I started my training I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I thought I was going off on some grand adventure,.. I want to take of the blinders on day one"
After a pause Luke states, "Your combat skills can wait for the moment"
"Why" Rey stammered.
In a semi gruff tenner Luke said, "Because at the moment you need to learn control, I've seen your level of ability in only one other person"
Wide eyed Rey asks, "Who would that be!"
"You know him as Kylo Ren" Luke deadpanned, "I know him as Ben Solo, my Nephew"
"Your Nephew" Rey states in a thick tenor full of emotion.
If only… Luke thought
20 minutes later Yoda appears causing Rey to fall over backwards he states accusingly, "had you not cut yourself off from the force you would already know Maria Jade still lives…"
"Maria Jade!" Rey asks
Sensing her next question Luke said, one of the few Jedi to master both the light and the dark sides of the force."
"Think the girl has not the right to know her own mother do you!" Yoda states chidingly, "To know her family"
"No I did not want to distract her, besides I didn't know for certain until this moment" Luke said walking away, "Her full name is Mara Jade Skywalker she is my wife…"
"I'm y-y-your daughter" Rey asks
The only thing Luke said was, "I'll be up at the meditation rock when your ready to talk!"
Just as Rey was about to chase down her wayward father when Yoda said, Ray… Blame him not… grieving his son he is"
Later that night at meditation rock, Reay quietly walked up asking, "I have a brother!"
Luke corrected her saying, "You had a brother, the night Ben Solo became Kylo Ren he killed your brother along with every other Padawan"
