Five years.

Five years he had been on this damned planet.

Five years of not knowing where he was or how he had gotten there.

The last things he could remember before being pulled into hyperspace on the star destroyer was the purrgils tentacles holding Thrawn in his place. Ezra had used the force to try to protect himself during the jump, and although it had worked he had no recollection of where he was. He and Thrawn had just somehow ended up on this jungle like planet. Thrawn was nowhere to be seen and Ezra hadn't seen him since they first awoke in the escape pods.

He had tried to find some sort of civilization in the areas surrounding where they first landed, but the only thing he had been able to find were the ruins of some ancient buildings and a vast cave and tunnel system leading deep underground much like the tunnels on Geonosis. He hadn't bothered to explore the tunnels much, because many of them had appeared to be crumbling and collapsing.

In his first few months of him being stranded, Ezra had found a few wreckages from long ago space crafts. He had tried his best to strip parts from them, but they had been deteriorated for so long that there was no way he could get them to work. Even his escape pod wouldn't start up again. Maybe if Sabine had been there she would have been able to get it working again. She was the best mechanic he had ever met. He remembered the words he had left for her on Chopper's memory "I can always count on you", and he still was. He knew she would be able to find him.

In his five years there, Ezra had learned much of the above ground terrain and had made himself a (somewhat) decent area to stay. He used many of the stones and materials from the ruins to create a sort of shack near the edge of an ocean. He sat on a group of boulders right at the edge of the water with his eyes closed meditating. It was his daily routine and normally he was able to peacefully meditate, but today for some reason it was different. He couldn't get the purple haired Mandalorian out of his head. He missed her dearly. Her laugh, her humor, even her sometimes short temper. He just hoped that one day he would see her again. Ezra had always liked Sabine, since the first day he met her, but never said anything because they were part of a rebellion and he didn't think it would be the best idea. He had been right, after what happened on Lothal, he knew it would have been even harder for him to leave if he had told her of his feelings.

He once again tried to clear his mind, focusing on the sound of the water lapping against the rocks below him. Slowly breathing in he used the force to reach out to anyone who would hear him.

Ahsoka opened her eyes to the darkness of her cabin.

Nothing. She had been trying to locate Ezra through the force but he was either closed off to it or simply to far away. She couldn't feel anything. Well, except for the feeling of nervous anticipation coming from the cockpit of her ship. Ahsoka sighed and stood up to head toward the front of the ship. Sabine had had this same feeling surrounding her since they had left. Which was understandable, she hadn't seen Ezra in many years. Even when she first met Sabine and Ezra she always had felt a strong connection between them, which had only grown since, even withstanding the tests of time and distance. Even if Sabine couldn't tell what her true feelings were, Ahsoka knew, but she wouldn't bring it up. She had no business dealing in the affairs of others.

The Mandalorian sat in the pilot's chair of the transport ship. She looked over at the Togruta as she walked in. "Did you feel anything?" she asked hope shining in her eyes.

Ahsoka shook her head. "He may simply too far away for me to be able to sense him, but I know we'll find him," she said putting a reassuring hand on Sabines shoulder. "We both knew that this wasn't going to be easy. Now go get some rest, I'll take over the controls for now."

Sabine smiled faintly and stood to walk away. "Thanks, Ahsoka." The Mandalorian walked towards her quarters in the quiet ship. It was only her and Ahsoka on the ship along with a single astromech who seemed to keep to himself most of the time. The emptiness of the ship seemed even more so, as she remembered her days on the Ghost, where it was only ever really quiet if Ezra and Zeb were gone.

She walked through the doors to her quarters and looked at the lightsaber that was now sitting on the shelf. She couldn't wait to give it to Ezra. She picked it up and ignited the blade causing the blue energy to light up the room. Although she had had some training with the darksaber, it felt unnatural to be wielding the weapon of a jedi. She needed more training with it. Perhaps, she would ask Ahsoka to help her. She shut off the blade and put it back in it's place on the shelf. Now shrouded in complete darkness she laid on her sleeping mat and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

author's note: Hey guys! Thanks for all the follows and reviews already it's really appreciated. I just wanted to give you guys some background on the story really quick since Ezra doesn't know where he is. He and Thrawn were transported from Lothal to a planet called Rakata Prime (also known as Lehon). The planet used to be inhabited by the Rakatans, who established the Infinte Empire between 35,000 and 25,200 BBY. The Rakatans are now an extinct species and no one really knows if there are any other inhabitants there. I also did some math on about how old the characters are now so Ezra was born in 19 BBY and joined the Ghost crew in 5 BBY making him about 14 years old at the beginning of the series. The series finale took place in 0 BBY which would make him approx. 19 years old. Ahsoka and Sabine waited until the fall of the empire (which occured in 5 ABY) to search for Ezra, so he is approximately 24 years old at this time making Sabine approx. 26 years old. Anyways, thanks for reading! I also have an instagram you can follow which is hidden_stories_writer on which I post my character/fan arts and can answer any questions you have about the stories. Thanks!
