FUTURE, PAST, AND PRESENT: CHAPTER ONE
Tall skyscrapers towered over the streets, and the overwhelming buzz of daily traffic whirred and echoed through the city. Pedestrians scrambled around, readying for the New Year on Tanoak.
Tanoak was a remote planet on the fringes of the galaxy on the outer rim. It looked like a silver ball from space, with specks of green scattered across its small surface.
The sun was just sitting on the horizon, lowering every minute, turning the sky into a display of color. Splashes of purple, yellow and goldenrod were soaked into the cumulus clouds that skimmed over the tops of the architecture.
A few children were leaned against a shop window, amongst the crowds that flowed through the sidewalks, unnoticed.
"Zayn! Look over there...It's a Jedi!" A dirty one named Meldra Kath exclaimed, pointing at two people, who looked like a dark Jedi and a light Jedi. Meldra's short blond hair and blue eyes stood out among the Tanoaks, as most had dark hair and dark eyes.
They were all sitting in the abandoned restaurant they had come to call home, looking out the window at the early hours of the morning. No one noticed their presence, except for one woman who would bring them food and clothing, occasionally.
"A...Jedi..." a black-haired one in a tattered red dress said. Her feet were covered by nothing but used-to-be white socks that had her initials on it: ZDH. Zayn Diaz Holo.
Zayn pressed her hands to the glass, watching as the Jedi put on a display of the force when a dark Jedi flew across the street. "I wanna be a Jedi..." She whispered, more to herself than anybody and pressing her nose to the glass.
"I heard that the Jedi, if they find someone who can use the force, they can take them away..." he looked on. "Do you think any of us could?" he was wearing a pair of worn white shorts and a long black wool shirt. He was barefoot, and his feet were calloused. His red-brown hair was in a messy braid that went to his scapula, and his deep chocolate eyes focused on the street as the dark Jedi got up.
They walked in two separate directions, until the light Jedi stopped in her tracks. The dark Jedi kept on going, curving around a corner as the Jedi's eyes stared straight at them. Fortunately, it was a one-sided mirror, and she could not see in.
She began to walk towards the door, and Zayn, Meldra, and Nadde huddled under one of the tables, throwing a tattered blanket over themselves. Footsteps echoed around the room as the Jedi's boots hit the broken tile. They were drawing nearer...
