Chapter 2
The young Jedi trudged through the forest. The rain poured down through the dense trees. Tien's black cloak was soaked, along with his feet and body. All through the walk, his mind raced, thinking about his parents. About himself, and about where his life has been. He saw flashes of his parents lying on the cabin floor. Killed by that beast. Tien tripped over a log and landed on his knees. He pulled his hood down and looked up at the falling water. He yelled. Yelled out of pain, out of anger, and out of sadness.
A few hours later, he arrived in the small town. It had only a few ships, but he was sure he could find someone to take him where he wanted to go. He walked up to the first ship. It was small, but could take him anywhere.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" He asked, looking around. A pilot poked his head out from behind the ship.
"Whatda ya want?!" The pilot yelled. Tien looked the pilot over. He wore as a pilot does but it seemed more dirty that usual.
"Can you take me somewhere?" Tien asked in a shaky voice. The pilot stood up and walked over toward Tien. The wiped some oil from his hands with a rag on his belt.
"Where dya wanna go?" He asked, looking Tien over.
"I need to go to a planet, far from here. I heard there was a great Jedi Master there."
"Hmm...Dya know what planet this is?"
"Its far from here...Kinda small. It has lots of lakes and rivers."
"Ah I know what that one is. What dya gonna give for the trip? It is far." Tien rummaged through a pouch on his belt.
"I...I only have 10 credits..."
"Ill take you as far as 10 credits will take you. Get on" A smile crossed Tien's lips and jumped into the small craft. It quickly took off and began toward a small, unnamed planet.
The pilot looked back at Tien as they flew toward the planet. Tien looked out the window at the vastness of space. He watches as stars whipped by the tiny ship.
"Hey kid, Go into that room. We are almost at the planet." Tien looked at the man and nodded. He walked into the small room and the door clamped behind him. The pilot let out a loud laugh and pushed a button on the board. A beep echoed in the small room Tien was in, than it felt as if the room was moving. Tien looked out the window and saw the ship he had been on. The small pod sped toward a small planet, hopefully the one he was looking for. The pod entered the atmosphere of the planet and slammed into a huge lake. Tien quickly flipped a switch and the pod door snapped open. He quickly swam to the surface, Swimming as fast as he could with the added weight of the black cloak. He broke the surface and gulped in the fresh air of the planet. Tired with the swim, he allowed himself to float to shore. Tien gasped for air still. He landed on the shore and slowly got to his feet. He looked around and saw a massive waterfall. Thousands of trees surrounded him. There was a small clearing at the top of the falls. He began to slowly walk toward that clearing. As he walked, he saw a figure standing at the top of the falls. The figure wore a black cape, which covered every part of his body, keeping himself very concealed.
"Your late." The man spoke. Tien looked at him with question in his eyes. The man turned around and eyed up the small boy. He pulled his hood back to reveal brown hair and deep blue eyes. Tien's mouth dropped as he recognized the face. It was unmistakable
"R...Rei Kisaragi!?" he exclaimed. The man smiled and nodded his head.
"I am suprised a small boy such as yourself knows who I am. I am Rei." The small boy gazed up at the tall Jedi Master. He man wore a black cloak. Under that, he had on a Jedi robe, only black. He didn't notice any other Jedi around. He looked back up at the Jedi.
"Are you the only one here?" He asked. Rei smiled and looked at the small boy.
"No my boy. I live here with many friends." Rei turned around toward the woods, where a small cabin stood. Out of the cabin, walked a beautiful woman. She wore a brown cloak that covered her body. Her hair was as golden as the sun, her eyes as blue as the sky itself. Her eyes set apon the small boy, than up to Rei.
"And who have we here?" she spoke in a quite, soothing tone.
"This is Tien. Tien, this is my wife, Syria." Tien's mouth dropped again. He looked up at Syria.
"So...the legands and myths are true. The most powerful Jedi Master, and the most beautiful Jedi Knight. Wow...I am so lucky!" He smiled. Rei and Syria looked at eachother and smiled. Rei looked down at the young boy and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Your training starts tomorrow my padawan. Tien's eyes lit up. He could not believe what Rei, the greatest Jedi Master had just said to him.
"O...ok!!" Tien said, smiling at Syria and Rei.
