STAR WARS: THE CRONICLES OF SETH RAVENWORTH

Chapter 1

I hereby assert that I do not own Star Wars or, Lucasfilms.

Seth Ravenworth was uncertain about where he was going. He had been taken off his home planet of Korriban for some sort of training. The ship he was on was that of a new republic transport. Kyle got out of his seat and asked the pilot, "Where exactly are we going?" the pilot answered, "The Jedi temple on Yavin 4, why do you ask?" Seth paused for a moment then replied, "Well, nobody told me where I was going, so I thought I should ask." The pilot grabbed the intercom and said, "All passengers, please take your seats. We will be landing in the temple hanger." Seth went back to his seat, and waited for the drop-off call. When he was off, he took a small moment to look around.

"What a nice planet. Beats Korriban by a longshot." Another boy about Seth's age, which was fifteen, replied, "Yeah, this planet is really lush and full of life." Suddenly, a golden protocol droid walked up to the boys and said, "Greetings future students, I am C-3P0 human cycle relations. I will guide you to where the master of this academy is assigning students to masters." Seth and the other boy, in unison said, "Sure, lead on." "Excellent." Said 3P0 as he guided the boys to the location the droid had specified. While Seth and the other boy were following 3P0, Seth asked, "So, who are you anyway?" the boy replied, "I'm Deran, Deran Ketos. Who are you?" "I'm Seth Ravenworth." Seth answered rather dryly. 3P0 announced, "Students, we have arrived at the audience chamber."

Seth and Deran entered the large room. At the opposite side of the room, on a small platform-like flight of stairs, stood Luke Skywalker. "Greetings students, welcome to the Jedi academy. Here we will train you in the ways of The Force. You will learn how to defend yourself with a lightsaber. You will also study diplomacy, history, and more." Seth and Deran sat down next to the other students who rode on the transport with them. Luke then motioned for people to start coming onto the platform. "Now, two students will be assigned to a master. Deran Ketos, you will work with master Korr. Seth Ravenworth, you will also work with master Korr, who will meet you both shortly." Luke started talking to the other students when a large Kel Dor, (Plo Kuun's race,) walked in and asked, "So, where are these students you were telling me about?" Luke answered, "Right over there, Jaden." as he pointed to Seth and Deran.

Jaden walked over to the boys. Deran asked nervously, "Um, are you master Korr?" Jaden nodded and said, "Yes I am, but call me Jaden. I don't really care for titles like master Korr, or anything like that." Deran acknowledged by saying, "All right Jaden, I'm sorry." Seth shook his head and muttered, "Suck-up!" Jaden's eyes moved over to Seth and then back to Deran. "Well," Jaden said, "I guess its time for you two to build your lightsabers. Now Deran, what color would you like it to be?" he asked. Deran answered, "Green please." Jaden nodded and looked at Seth. "Blue, I guess." Seth answered while yawning slightly. Then Jaden led the two through a door with the sign that read: CRYSTAL RESERVE. There, the boys chose their crystals and built their lightsaber with Jaden's help. "Now you are ready to begin you're training, you two." Jaden said to Deran and Seth as he led them out of the crystal reserves, and into the training halls. "Now, here in the training halls is where you will learn to use a lightsaber. As you train you will learn different styles and stances which enable you to surprise and confuse your opponent." Seth asked "Jaden, can we just go freestyle for a minute? I just want to get a feel for this."

Jaden nodded and Seth took a position. "Alright Deran, lets see what you've got!" Seth said as he activated his lightsaber, holding the blade behind his back (Exar Kuun style). Jaden thought to himself, "Exar Kuun style? Only some of the best of our masters know that style!" Deran charged at Seth uttering a battle cry. Seth blocked every attack with agility and skill striking ferociously, but defending like an armored, swift moving tank. Sometimes he would tease Deran by fighting with his eyes closed. Now before I go any further into the story I just want to tell you that the sabers are on weak power levels so that the students don't die. Then Deran caught on to Seth's moves and started hitting him on his legs, knocking him down and stunning him. Now Seth was getting angry so he, without thought or consideration of what he was doing, powered up his saber to full power and attacked.
