"Do you think they'll follow us?" Evie asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm not sure. But we better not risk it." Luke stood up and stretched, "I'll send a message to Kashyyyk. I know some Wookies who will be more than willing to help."  Luke sat back down and opened up a COM channel for the Wookie home world. Evie sat back as Luke talked to the Wookie in what little Wookie language he knew and hoped that they'd be admitted.

Suddenly something struck the port side of the ship and it rocked with the collision. 

"What WAS that?" Evie said, panicked.

"Don't worry about it, just get back there and check the shields. We should be landing shortly." Luke said. Evie obeyed and went back to see if there was any damage to the ship.

"You friend Lando is not going to like this..." Evie said. "You never told him that his ship would be shot at..."

"We'll land and see what the Wookies can do to repair the ship." Luke said. He had been granted a place to land. Suddenly a burst of energy flew out of the planet and hit their pursuers...

"What WAS that?" Evie said again, agitated. 

"Planetary defense." Luke smiled. "Now let's see if we can find your sister." Luke took the ship down towards the planet. Kashyyyk, home of the Wookies, who were once enslaved by the Empire. Home of the Rebel hero, Chewbacca.  Luke brought the ship down. As Evie and Luke stepped from the ship they were greeted instantly, by Chewbacca.  Chewie was on the planet, visiting his kin. "Greetings," Luke said.  The Wookie barked something Evie couldn't understand.

Fortunately a translator droid spoke up, "Master Skywalker so nice to for you to pay us a visit."

"It's good to come back," Luke smiled. "This is Princess Evadne Darkstarr," he said to Chewie.

"Hello." Evadne said meekly.

"Chewie says he can help you to find the information and person you seek." The droid chimed in.

Evadne smiled. "I'm so glad to hear that." She said as she followed Luke and Chewie into a nearby hut. Evie looked around. They seemed to be on the canopies of trees. This made her feel slightly nervous.   

"First we get something to eat." The droid said as Chewie barked out something. Evie sighed. She was hungry, and by the looks of it, so was Luke.   When they were done, they went back outside.

"What can they tell us about Aidia?" Evie looked questioningly at Luke. 

"The Aidia that you speak of lives here on this planet. She had been a captive of the Empire. We rescued her when she was still a young girl." The droid said. Evie raised her eyebrows.

"When can we see her? Will she still remember me?" Evie asked.

"She remembers you, but only in dreams. She is a very strange girl." The protocol translated what Chewie said.  Evie raised her
eyebrows again.

Luke listened as Chewie related what he knew, "Strange in what way?" Luke asked.

"Well you should probably see for yourself. Then you can make your own mind up." Chewie responded.

Luke looked at Evie, "Are you ready for this? Finding your sister, I mean?" he said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Well, I still want to see her. Luke, we have room on the Lady Luck to take her back with us right?" Evie asked.

"Yes. But only if she wants to come back with us. You know that you're not the same person that she remembers. She may want to stay here." Luke responded. Chewie started to walk down the tree top street. Evie and Luke followed until they came upon a small hut. Evie could sense that there was another human presence nearby, but not in that hut.

Chewie growled out something...   "It looks like we missed her. She is not here right now..."

"No, she's around... I can sense it." Evie said. Suddenly there was a scream. Evie looked up to see a girl standing in a treetop that was about twenty feet above them... The girl, who had brown curly hair, swung down using a rope that hung from that tree. The girl landed a few feet away from where Evie stood....and then watched Evie curiously....

Luke didn't know what to make of the girl who landed in front of them. He could feel the waves of emotion pouring off Evie, but a sense of confusion from the girl.  Everyone stood for a moment not speaking. It seemed like an eternity. Luke remembered learning that Leia was his sister. Although they had known each other, it was like seeing each other for the first time when Luke learned of their relationship. How the galaxy had changed since then.

His thought turned momentarily to his students. He had left them behind to fend for themselves, to find Jada. He had knowingly sent them up against an unseen and unknown enemy. Although he hadn't heard anything from them, communication wise, through the Force he could feel them, their emotion, their turmoil. But they had been trained well. He'd felt they needed a challenge, but it weighed on his mind that perhaps this was one challenge that might lose one of them. He had sensed an evil he hadn't felt before but he couldn't measure its strength or presence, for whatever reason. And now he felt a new dark Force, different than the Force, a newer one.

Finally, Evie spoke. Luke still lost in his thoughts didn't hear her. One thing stood out to him though, something had changed in the Force. Nothing to do with the dark side. When he reached out for Mara, Guage and the rest, something different came from them that he hadn't felt before. Then the realization came to him, and it was if veil had been lifted from his eyes. But as always that warning from Ben resonated through his mind, "Bury your feelings....."

Aidia smiled slowly as her memory told her that the woman standing in front of her was her long lost sister, Evadne. She then looked down at the ground in embarrassment.

"I'm so glad to have finally found you Aidia!" Evie said as she gave her sister a hug. Aidia let herself be hugged and then glanced curiously at Luke. Luke simply smiled and then pulled Evie aside again.

"From what I sense, your sister has not been trained as a Jedi. She could be a very valuable member of the team if we can get her to come with us. The only problem that I see is that she may not want to come. We can't take her away from here if it is against her will. I for one will not allow it." Luke said. 

Aidia overheard the two talking and spoke up. "I do want to get out of here. There are some people who have been after me, and I was about to have to leave this planet anyway... Won't you please take me with you...and train me as a Jedi?" Aidia said.

Evie smiled.   "Of course we will." Evie said. She pushed a strand of red hair out of her face. Then she turned to Luke. "Won't we?"

Luke smiled. "Well let's get out of here. I also want to know about these people after you, Aidia. If they show up, we can deal with them." Luke was glad Evie had found her sister, he could already tell a change in her, "Aidia, do you need to get anything to take with you?"

"Oh, yes. Just a few things I want." she replied.

"Okay, you guys do that and I'll meet you back at the ship. Sound like a plan?"

"Sounds fine to me." Evie said with a broad smile.

"Great," Luke said, "I'll see you in a few." Then he turned to Chewie, "Come on, and help me prep the ship."  Chewie growled a response, Luke took as affirmative and they headed back to the Lady Luck. After about an hour, Evadne and Aidia walked out of the hut and towards the ship. Evie hoped that Lando would not kill them because they had damaged his ship slightly. Luke seemed to notice that Evie was worried about this. 

"Don't worry about it kiddo... Lando would not mind...as long
as we are safe..." Luke had the ship fired up and ready to as Evie and Aidia stepped aboard, "Welcome, Ladies." Luke called. "I was about to leave without you, but I thought I could wait."

"Thanks for being so considerate." Evie said with a smile. 

"Well let's get strapped in and we can be off." Luke told them as he sat down in the pilot's chair.
