Chapter 1:Departure

"Goodbye, Master Skywalker."

"So, you're leaving already?" he answered.

"Yes, I'm afraid so," replied Andrew, "I have much I wish to accomplish."

"May the Force be with you, Knight Andrew."

"And with you, Master," the new Jedi Knight replied. He left.

Andrew had just been made a Jedi Knight three days before, and since then, he had been preparing for his retreat. He had always envied Jacen Solo, and wanted to go on a journey, like he had.

He headed to the hangar of the Jedi Temple on Ossus, meaning to pick up his bag from his quarters on the way. When he got there, his R9 unit, Flash, was waiting for him. They left for Andrew's E-Wing starfighter. He got in, stowed his things, and prepped the engines for launch.

"No, I didn't forget about you, Flash," he said as his little droid warbled a complaint from outside the fighter. "Just get in quick. I don't want to be kept here by procedures."

He soon got the all clear to launch his fighter, and headed for the stars.
