Chapter 1

The Death Star II lay as a wreck on Kef Bir. No one had truly explored the secrets it hid from the galaxy. Rey was determined to uncover this secret in order to keep the galaxy from falling into complete disarray. Somewhere on this wreckage was a Sith Wayfinder, one of two in existence, that would lead her to Exegol to confront Emperor Palpatine. Although he was her grandfather by blood, Rey strived to rise above the darkness in her pursuit to bringing peace to the galaxy and herself.
As she climbed the wreckage, Rey was reminded of all the countless times she had climbed through the Star Destroyers that littered the desert landscape of Jakku. Thankful for the training, she pushed on until she reached the throne room of the Emperor from so many years ago. Gazing about her, Rey walked cautiously around until her eyes landed upon the throne where her grandfather used to sit as head of the now dead Galactic Empire. Shuddering slightly to herself, she focused back on the task at hand. She noticed a door to her left and walked over to examine it closer. As soon as she appeared in front of the door, it opened for her with a hiss. Rey took a deep breath and stepped inside turning to watch as the door shut behind her. She turned back to look ahead and walked into a room that had mirrors all around her. Looking to her left, Rey spotted what she had been searching for: the Sith Wayfinder. There was another one somewhere in the galaxy but Rey had no time to even begin trying to locate it. She stepped forward and tentatively extended a hand out towards the mysterious object, careful not to move too suddenly in case it was rigged with some sort of trap. Her hand wrapped around it gently and she pulled it out of where it had been kept all these years. Letting out a sigh of relief, Rey allowed herself to smile over this tiny but significant victory. But her victory was short-lived as she heard the ignition of a lightsaber close to her. When she turned to face who it was, Rey was all but struck with horror at the vision in front of her.
