So without further ado, The SECOND chapter of Sacrifice of light.
Chapter 2
Abilities Explained
"I am Rakin Dentrin and this is my wife Juna and our daughter Audriana" Rakin told the man. "I am Luke Skywalker" the man introduced himself. "Nice to meet you. I believe I owe my life to you Audriana" the man said shaking Audrey's hand. "No praw, call me Audrey" Audrey said.
"So what is the famous Jedi Master Luke Skywalker doing unarmed in a Tatooine cantina and being attacked by three Gammoreans" Rakin asked. "Rakin!!" Juna warned. "No your husband has the right to ask" Luke said, "I was visiting the place where I grew up when I met some bounty hunters who were trying to collect a bounty that Imperials, who didn't agree with the peace treaty, have put on my head. I managed to loose them but unfortunately I also lost my lightsaber and then, to my great luck, I met another group of them in the cantina. I was actually trying to get a ride to Coruscant."
(a/n I know Luke has other abilities aside from using a lightsaber but fighting off three Gammoreans isn't easy even as a Jedi (So PLEASE don't fry me))
"You've still got a bounty on your head?" Juna asked. "Yes, strange isn't it" Luke replied with a sly smile. "I suppose you're not too happy about it" Rakin said. "I believe my wife is even less happy" Luke said.
At that moment Audrey jumped up. "What's wrong honey?" Juna asked. "Trouble's coming, someone is following our hyperspace course" Audrey replied and started to run towards the cockpit.
"What??" Luke asked confused. "Come we'd better head for the cockpit" Juna said. "Yeah, when Audrey says there's trouble coming, then there is trouble coming" Rakin said. Luke's face showed sudden understanding. They ran to the cockpit where Audrey was already plotting alternate courses.
"You want to drop outta hyperspace now dad" she asked. "Now is as good as any other time, just make sure it feels alright to you" Rakin replied. "Juna head for the laser-turret just in case" Rakin said "And Luke you'd better buckle up".
Audrey started to pull the handle towards her and the stars returned to their normal forms. Audrey got up from the pilot's seat so that Rakin could sit down. Audrey sat down in the co-pilots chair. A few seconds later another ship appeared in front of them.
"It's a light freighter, Gammorean by the looks of it, not too heavily armed. We can take 'er easily" Audrey observed. "Well it seems your bounty hunters have followed us, Luke" Rakin said. "I am sorry for putting you and your family into trouble" Luke said.
"Don't worry we're trained enough to handle this. Even the kid" Rakin replied. "Why don't they attack us" Audrey wondered. "I don't know" Rakin said.
Just then the freighter hailed them. "Crystal Moon this is Smugglers Delight," a voice said "You have someone aboard who is wanted by officials." Rakin reached for the comm. "Smugglers Delight this is Crystal Moon. We have no idea what you mean. We are just giving a friend a ride and he is not wanted by any officials we answer to" he commed.
"If you do not surrender him, we have no choice but to open fire" came the reply. "Take your best shot. Crystal Moon out!" Rakin said a slammed the comm unit of. "Alright everybody prepare for battle" he said.
Then the Smugglers Delight started to fire at them. Rakin pulled some evasive maneuvers and Juna started firing at them from the laser-turret. "Audrey arm two proton torpedoes and fire on my mark" Rakin ordered. "Yes Sir! Proton torpedoes armed and waiting for your mark" Audrey replied. "3.2.1.Mark!" Rakin shouted and Audrey launched the torpedoes.
The Smugglers Delight exploded.
"Nice aiming Audrey" Rakin said. "Thanks dad" Audrey said.
Luke looked astonished at the young girl who didn't even look frightened or shocked because she had just destroyed a ship. In fact she had acted more professional than some of the pilots he'd known during his time in the military.
"Rakin could I have a word with you?" Luke asked. "Sure" Rakin replied. "What do you think of your daughter's.abilities" Luke asked. "Well, I got used to them. She's been having them since she could speak, although.in the beginning.we thought that it was only her imagination. But eventually we found out that she was always right" Rakin replied.
"Has she never made a mistake?" Luke asked, suddenly anxious. "No, not as far as I know" Rakin replied confused, "But why do you ask all these questions?" Luke looked like he was trying to find the right ways to say something. "Well Rakin.the abilities that your daughter has are.well distinct for some Jedi" Luke responded.
Rakin looked baffled. "Are you saying that my daughter is a Jedi" he asked. "Well I don't know for sure until I test her, but she seems to be. And quite a strong one too if she's able to sense danger coming while in hyperspace, without any training whatsoever" Luke replied.
"And if she is a Jedi, what would you do?" Rakin asked. "I would ask her, and you and Juna of course, if she would like to train at the academy" Luke said. Rakin looked doubtful.
"Well, it still isn't sure but I think the decision is hers alone to make" he replied. "So you'll let me test her?" Luke asked. "Yes" Rakin replied "But we'd better tell Juna first." So they went to find Juna. They found her in the kitchen and told her everything. Then the three of them prepared themselves to tell Audrey.
"Audrey could we have a word with you" Juna asked. "Whatever it is I didn't do anything" Audrey said immediately as she saw not only her parents but also Luke Skywalker. "You haven't done anything wrong honey, that's not what we meant" Rakin calmed her. "We would like to talk about your eh.abilities" Luke told her.
"What about them. I can't help it, they're just there. I just feel things and people. It's not my fault" Audrey exclaimed. "Don't worry. The truth is.I think that you might be a Jedi" Luke explained.
"A Jedi? Me?" Audrey said surprised. "I can't be a 100 percent sure until I test you but I'm quite confident about it" Luke said. "What kind of test is it?" Audrey asked Luke. "Quite a simple one, the only thing you have to do is sit still" Luke told her.
He walked towards her and put his hands on her head. He closed his eyes and concentrated, on what was lost to the rest. Suddenly Luke was launched across the room. "What happened" Juna asked as she hurried towards Luke to help him get up.
"Audrey just passed the test" Luke replied. The rest looked confused. "Some years ago we discovered that non trained Jedi have a certain block protecting their memories, it protects them from other Jedi without them even knowing it. Trained Jedi have a similar block but we can control it" Luke explained "When other Jedi try to enter those protected parts the get a physic blow. The stronger the blow is, the stronger the Jedi."
Rakin and Juna looked at their daughter. "So what you're saying is that Audrey isn't just a Jedi but a strong one as well" Juna asked. "Basically, Yes" Luke replied. "So, what now" Audrey asked. "Well even though you are quite young by our standards, I would like to ask you if you want to train at the academy" Luke told her.
"The Jedi academy!!!" Audrey exclaimed "Really!!!" "Yes, really!" Luke said smiling. "Then I'll gladly accept your offer" Audrey said looking serious now. "You'll do great, I foresee it" Luke said to her equally serious. Rakin and Juna look at each other. "Great, she hasn't even started her training and she's already getting that serious look" Rakin sighed.
Rakin and Juna found it hard to let their daughter go, but they knew it was what Audrey wanted to do. So they decided to give her a present.
"Come on, can't you tell me where we're going?" Audrey asked. "No honey, it's a surprise" Rakin told her, "Now close your eyes." Audrey closed her eyes and Juna took her hand and guided her into a hangar.
"Now you can open them" Juna said. Audrey opened her eyes and saw an X-Wing fighter in front of her. "You mean.That fighter's for me!!!" she exclaimed. "Yes, we know how much you wanted a fighter and so we bought you one as a going away present. "You're the best parents in the galaxy" Audrey said and hugged her parents.
