chapter 1: Revelations

It was still early in the morning, but the Jedi Central Academy, on Coruscant, was already raging with activity. Skye, a young girl with pale skin, long flowing raven-black hair and big, brilliant saphire blue eyes, was walking through a desert alley, heading to her classroom.

Totally lost in her thoughts, she was startled when she felt the chill she had learnt to identify the Force's danger alert. Suddenly, she was in battle position, her violet double bladed lightsaber ready to attack the stealth-covered person she sensed had been following her.

"Hey, hey, no need to kill, girl!"

The lightsaber blades faded.

"Sorry, Lani… that's what you get for sneaking on me!"

"Well," the young Cathar smiled, "I have to practice my skills, you know? We'll be tested next week… And why on the galaxy are you so jumpy?"

"I'm not, I was thinking about some stuff and reacted on impulse…"

"Yeah… I heard the Council called you to their presence. What's the matter?"

"Honestly, I have no idea."

"If they send you on a mission you'll take me, won't you?"

"Who else would I choose to help me on my first mission? But I don't think that's it… I haven't even finished the training!"

"That's what THEY say, but I think you are more than ready… no one can beat you in this academy! The only thing you're still lacking is a mentor… maybe they found you one!"

"Not likely…!"

"Yeah, yeah, pretend you don't care… I know you better!"

Skye looked affectionately at her friend. She was right; the anticipation was positively killing her. But she still had the whole day of practice before the meeting, so there was no point in getting stressed out…

"Come in, young Padawan, and join us! We have important things to speak to you."

The girl entered and bowed before the Council. She tried to look calm, but felt betrayed by the crazy pounding of her heart. She recognized her life-long teachers; Master Vandar, who always had a wise word, the ever-serious Master Vrook, the gentle Master Degan, and the unique Master Bindo, always defying the old ways… Their presence warmed her heart; they were the only guidance she knew, and she felt with them she would always be at home.

"Masters… May I know what it is you wish from me?"

Was it her, or a wave of hesitating silence ran through the room? She tried to scan their expressions and found something she couldn't pinpoint exactly… was it pity? embarrassment? was it… fear?

Master Degan finally took the word:

"We need to speak to you, Skye, about… about your family."

That sentence was such a shock to Skye she had to keep herself from falling. If there was something she wasn't expecting to hear, that was certainly it. She was in the academy ever since she was a baby, and she barely reminded her parents at all. Every time she asked about her parents to any Master they avoided the subject, and she had grown thinking they had died or left, giving her to the Order. Trembling slightly, she pressed her hands in an attempt to regain control and faced the Council.

"My… my family, Master Degan? But… but I have no family!... Or do I?"

"A family you do have, although they are long gone. A father and a mother, once great before the Council and the Republic."

"But, Master Vandar, who are them, then? Why have they left me? And why didn't you ever tell me anything about them?"

"Ahh, good questions you ask. Difficult questions. Patience, I ask you, for the time has come when all we shall explain."

"You ask who your parents were. Your father, Skye, was a good, honourable man, with a strong character, who was once a hero of the Republic; actually, after the defeat of the Dark Lord Malak, he took the place of Admiral of the Republic fleet. Your father, Skye, was Carth Onasi.

Skye couldn't help but gasp. She had heard of that man; he had played a crucial role in the reconstruction of the galaxy, after the last Sith Wars, nearly nineteen years before. To find out that that hero who she knew and admired so much was her father was just too much for her.

"But…but I read about him! His wife died on the attack to Telos, years before I was born! He couldn't possibly be my father!"

"Now, girl, you aren't listening! Master Degan didn't saying Carth's wife was your mother, but that Carth is your father!"

"So…he married a second time?"

"Indeed! And to a great woman, too. Authentic lovebirds, those two! It was actually nauseating some times…"

"You… you knew them? You knew my parents?"

"I travelled with them, for some time. Maybe someday I'll tell you a few stories…"

"Enough, Bindo, we have pressing matters to attend to. "Master Vrook always kept things to the busyness "Carth married Anne Lee, a brilliant padawan with a disdain for the Code that lead her and those surrounding her to many sufferings – and lead us to where we are now. Being a Jedi, she should never have married him, but no matter what we did, we couldn't change her character… Like I pointed out many times, should I say."

"What do you mean? Why didn't you ever tell me about them? And why would they leave me here? – It was too much information for her to process at once, and her patience was ending fast, as she felt there was something they were deliberately postponing telling her.

"Calm down, Skye, please. "She immediately did, as Master Degan's voice always had that effect on her "It is hard for us to talk about it. I almost wasn't involved, but I know there is much pain surrounding this subject. As Master Vrook said, your mother name was Anne Lee. But she didn't always answer to that name. Before knowing your father, while and before the time of the Mandalorian Wars, your mother was known as… Revan."

I know anyone who played KOTOR saw it coming, but this story is like a movie in my head, and I just couldn't cut this scene! Actually, it will continue in the next chapter, I had though to post it all together because this is a REALLY short chapter like this, but then I wouldn't know when to stop, and, besides, this way I can use whatever reviews you feel like giving me to improve...

Be gentle, please, it's the first time I'm writing something at all!

Ok, the reviewed first chapter, added a little place description I had forgotten (all I changed were the first lines…) and I reformatted the dialogs (thanks, Thrillian!). I'm not sure about when I'll be posting chapter 2, but I'll try to fasten it up.

Re-revised version of this chappie, I restarted the game so I'd have more background and the greenie Master (LOL) is Vandar, not Yoda. I didn't alter his lines, though, so they migth sound a little "Yodaish". It isn't so visible in ch 2, though. :-)
