Chapter 1

Everything was peaceful on the island of Ahch-To. The twin suns had just come into view and began to bathe the island in their warm glow, waking the island. Inside her hut, Rey stirred as small beams of light poured in through the cracks of her door. Her eyes blinked sleepily open as she slowly sat up in bed. She rubbed her eyes and looked about her new surroundings. It had been her first night sleeping indoors since Master Luke Skywalker finally decided to train her. She had been sleeping on a rocky bench in front of his hut for several days before he shocked her with his sudden decision. Rey was accustomed to waiting and had settled in knowing it might take a while to reach the broken Jedi. But she was thankful it wasn't too long of a wait.
As she took in everything inside her little hut, she felt a twinge in the Force, a feeling. It made her more alert as her eyes searched around the hut. She could feel a presence and thought that maybe her mind was playing tricks on her. It was the same presence she had come to despise but somehow respect all at once. It was the same presence that she was with on Starkiller Base. Looking about the hut, her eyes suddenly fell on the man in front of her, expecting to feel his rage once they locked eyes. Rey found herself stunned, however, seeing that it wasn't rage in his eyes, but curiosity and wonder.
