STAR WARS:

Iris Fallen Chapter 1

Lucia Vedyr ducked as a bounty hunter shot at her. She then took out her lightsaber, and it came alive in a blazing flash of green. Lucia blocked two more bullets before cutting the bounty hunter in half. It gurgled and its facemask fell off.

"Thuy Kaede Pogan. The famous bounty hunter who assassinated three Senators at the same time with a single bullet. Where's your glory now, traitor?" said Lucia the dying body.

She turned and with the swoosh of her cloak, walked out of the darkened room. Lucia was a Knight of the Jedi Order, and her task had been to eliminate all Bounty Hunters in the city of Brekka, last city loyal to the Republic on the planet of Sein. Two guards, in the traditional uniform of her home planet, Naboo, met her at the exit of the building, a rundown pub called the Nexu's Bite, and escorted her to her ship.

"Thank you, Captain Vega and Pvt. Burr." She said to the two men.

Vega bowed and replied, "Any time m'lady, any time."

The two walked off and she boarded the ship. Vedyr ordered the droid, R5-D9, to set courses to Coruscant. It beeped in compliance and the ship lifted off. The next morning, for Vedyr's mission had gone late into the night, she arrived at the Jedi Temple. Jedi Master Nyara Mi-Via greeted her.

"Welcome back, Lucia." Said the Master in her deep tone.

Lucia only nodded and continued on her way towards the Meditation Room, where she spent a good hour or two before being interrupted by a voice.

"Lucia, Lucia! Master Yoda needs you." Lucia registered the voice as Batiset Marvoris, the bumbling Padawan of Yoda. Again Lucia nodded, and set off to the Council Room. Yoda was there, speaking with Lucia's rival, Viscus Kiwar. Kiwar and Lucia had the same ability, but he seemed to get the better missions. He had one of the most prominent Padawans, Denaia Mae, who was Nyara's cousin's daughter. He then left the room and Yoda turned to Lucia.

"Need a Padawan, you do."

"I don't wish for a Padawan, Master. I want to continue my missions and focus all training on my lightsaber, not on another Jedi."

"Lose that trait, you need to."

"Which trait?"

"The trait of selfishness you have been cursed with. Take a Padawan you shall. Come in, Marius."

A young boy with dark skin, but almost white hair walked in. He bowed respectfully to Lucia, who had light skin and short blonde hair.

"Marius Lambert Promali, this is. Your Padawan, he is." Yoda left the room.

Lucia tried to put on the nicest face she had, and asked when he would like his first mission as her Padawan to be.

"As soon as possible, Lucia." He had a British accent, which surprised her.

"Very well. You are eager to fight. I have a mission to guard Supreme Chancellor Liam D' Lona." Marius gasped at the name. He then bowed respectfully again, and walked off to his chambers. She did the same, but had a restless night, thinking about her Padawan and her rival and his Padawan, and the mission.
