The sun setting on the Ryloth plains. A small Twilek village was busy going about their work. Farming and tending to their animals and droids. This particular village was in the middle of nowhere, far away from any of the planet's Imperial garrisons. However, this village had a secret, it was housing some special people. A 19-year-old dark skinned, short haired human boy named Jaden Sha was watching the villagers farm. He was wearing a farming cloak, staring over the beautiful Ryloth plains, admiring the mountains. He then turned around and headed back to camp.
At the camp, he saw that a fire was going. He nodded as he passed the villagers who smiled at him. He walked to the pens where he petted his blurrg, Tindi. His "cousin" Numa gave her to him not to long ago and he cared for her. He then walked over to the tent he shared with his father, Rollin.
Jaden and his father had a secret. As secret that if the Empire ever found out, everyone in the village, the people who cared and protected them, would be killed for sure. He and his father are Jedi. Rollin and his secret lover Alana Frey had fought in the Clone Wars as Jedi Knights. They had their son, Jaden when they were on an extended mission to Ryloth a few years into the war. They left him here at the village of his birth until they could find a way to bring him to the Jedi Temple. But tragically, Alana died during Order 66. As the Jedi Order fell, Rollin escaped the Jedi Temple and went to Ryloth to look after and train his son in the ways of the Force.
Now, Rollin was old and weak, his wounds from the war and his age were catching up with him. His time was drawing near. He had to say goodbye to his son. "Jaden, son." He says weakly. Jay took his father by the hand with tears in his eyes. "It's ok Jaden, there's no need for that. Death is a natural part of life. It's the way of the Force. The Force binds us all together, even to those that are now longer living."
He reached into his robe and pulled out his lightsaber and gave it to Jaden. "I have sensed a new chapter of your life is about to start son. Your mother would be so proud of you, just like I am. You are going to be a great Jedi." He started to cough; Jaden is still holding his hand. Rollin the started to whisper into his son's ear, and his son listened well. "Remember Jaden, when you feel the Force, you can always find your mother and me. And we will never leave you."
He then closed his eyes and his last breath left him. Jaden was sitting their trying to hold back his tears, he knew he had to be strong, it what his mother and father would want. He then turned around to see his "cousin" Numa and the village leader standing in the doorway of the tent. Jaden got up and went to Numa, where she gave him a tight hug, while the village leader put his hand on my shoulder. Jaden turned to him and nodded, and he helped me carry my father, who was wrapped in cloth, to the fire, in accordance to his last wishes, he was to be cremated upon death.
