I clearly have a fixation with death and the afterlife, don't I? some of you might recognize the similarities to Missingno 151 due to the fact that I couldn't think of any better introduction for the Void theme of this story then this one, I'm ashamed, I really am.

Also the Star Wars universe is an AU where the events of Knight Of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords doesn't happen, this is not because I don't like it, quite the opposite, the game is my favorite and one of the main reasons this story exists, but I've decided I would rather if the Star Wars characters, including the Force, didn't have ANY precedent with living Wounds in the force to make the protagonist, and I have my own plans for Nihilus.

Where am I?

What happened?

Reality had suddenly started behaving weird and ripping itself apart.

Almost like some sort of weird glitch.

When I had seen it I had tried to leave running, but I couldn't leave fast enough.

And I fell.

…

When I woke up, I was surrounded by darkness.

I woke up in one of the creepiest places possible.

There wasn't anything around me, I panicked, I tried to run but as there wasn't anything remotely resembling landmarks I eventually gave up since I didn't know if I was even moving.

How long had I been running for?

I probably should tell you how it's like in the VOID.

It's basically an experience of extreme sensory deprivation, the first thing I did was check my body and I couldn't see or sense anything.

Giving up running I tried swimming. While at the same time just willing myself to move forward.

I don't know how well that worked either, but at least some part of me felt as though it was doing something.

After some time doing that I got bored and started to meditate.

It was not something I did, ever, through my life, but considering I was the closest I would get to the Buddhist zen. I might as well try it to calm down.

Thinking to myself, even though I didn't know if I was thinking or talking aloud, helped somewhat define the limits between myself and the VOID.

I wondered what I could do, how long would I have to wait until someone came back for me.

I know what happens to the mind in times of extreme sensory deprivation, people lose their sense of self.

…

But nobody came.

I don't know how much time has passed since I got to this place, how long have I been in here?

Hours, days, years, decades, centuries…

I can't feel or sense anything. Anything.

I'm sure I must be dead, otherwise I would have died by now.

I spent a lot of time "swimming" the VOID, until eventually…

"What the hell?"

I had crashed into something, much to my immense joy.

I had completely forgotten what it felt like to touch something.

I gleefully tried to touch it again.

I felt it, like a membrane, I pressed against it, slowly managing to pull through, yet as I did, I felt a strange energy trying to enter me, I kept it at bay with my mind until I was completely in.

I don't know how I was able to keep energy out with my mind.

Lighting surged everywhere, blinding me, and I felt myself falling.

I hit the ground with a thud, I only slightly grunted through the fall and consequent rolling on the ground.

Strange thoughts began rushing through my head.

I got up, or rather tried too. I ended up on all fours. Looking like a cat sitting upright.

I looked around, finding myself in a forest with a glowing tree nearby.

It made weird sounds I couldn't understand, I looked elsewhere, to see behind me several glowing creatures.

I then recognized where I was: Nibel

The Tree, the Spirit Tree I realized, made another weird noise, I looked more around and saw the Guardian Spirits were coming closer.

I quickly left running.
