Ashtan thought it was best not to do is training. Grievous seemed to find him as a Jedi in hiding, if he was caught doing Jedi thins Grievous would kill him. And Ashtan wanted to live.
He sat in his room staring out his window into the bright lights of the universe. One thing he could remember about his life before the accident that his parents wouldn't tell him about, he was deadly fascinated by space.
Taland entered his room and ran to him, catching him in a choke ful hug, "I had a bad dream!"
"You had a bad dream, come here and tell me about it," he said pulling her into his lap to sooth her.
"It was about you!" she hugged him.
"About me? Tell me what happened." said Ashtan as he started to close his window.
"It was when we found you." she started to cry.
Ashtan froze, "You were there when father saved me"
"Yes, you were just floating their in the water pale and cold. You looked dead! Daddy jumped in and pulled you out and got rid of your clothes for some reason. He said it would be better for your safety if he did. And when you woke up, you couldn't remember who you were." she continued to sob, Ashtan pulled her to his chest.
He picked her up and laid her down in his bed, before turning out the light she was fast asleep. Taland had been known to sleep walk and talk in her sleep from time to time.
Ashtan left his room and went to see his father. He found his mother sitting at the kitchen table patching up her husbands work pants.
"Where is dad?" he asked.
"He is outside dear." she said smiling up at him. Ashtan got the feeling that she was not his real mother.
"Thank you," he said and walked outside and saw his father working on his speeder.
"Can I talk to you?" asked Ashtan, his dad looked at him.
"Sure son." said his father.
"What really happened six years ago that day when we went fishing?" asked Ashtan.
"You fell into the water and hit your head on a rock mosher." said the man as he closed the hood of the speeder.
"Funny you never said anything about Taland being there!" snapped Ashtan, "I want the truth"
Ashtan looked into the man's eyes, "I'm not your son am I"
His fake father looked down at his feet, "I'm sorry Mosher-"
"That's not my name!" snapped Ashtan.
"Mosher-"
"Stop calling me that! It's Ashtan!" he yelled at the old man.
The fake tried to explain, "Why didn't you tell me?" screamed Asthan grabbing his head and felt his cut hair where his braid was. He gasped, then darted past the fake and ran as fast as he could to Zolden's and Zeba's home.
Grievous watched the conflict he tore after Ashtan.
His friends didn't live to far form him, he was soon tripping over his own feet at their front door. He slammed in to it, and banged his hand against the hard wood.
Someone finally came to the door, and fell into Zeba's arms.
"Asthan!" she cried. Zolden helped her with him bringing him inside.
He checked to see if anyone was watching he closed and locked the door.
"Are you bloody mad Ashtan!" said Zolden.
Ashtan cried into Zeba's arms, "It's me! I'm the boy! I fell into the river! I hit my head and lost my memories of everything! And I fell down that waterfall! I left my Master when he needed me! I left him for dead!" cried Asthan.
"A Jedi! You! Ashtan that's-"
"My name is really Ashem!" Zeba held him closer to her.
"It's alright Ashem!" she tried to comfort him.
"Yes, it's alright Ashem. You'll soon be meeting your master again," came a cold voice behind them.
The three turned and found General Grievous behind them.
"You leave him alone!" yelled Zolden.
"He can't help that he is a Jedi!" yelled Zeba.
"I don't care if he can't help it. He's got to die," replied Grievous bringing out a light saber.
Zolden had to protect his friend, he grabbed his blaster that he kept at his belt and fired at Grievous. Of course Grievous moved to dodge the shots.
"Run, Zeba go now!" he told his sister.
Zeba pulled Ashtan/ Ashem to his feet and dragged him from their house.
"No Zolden don't!" cried Ashtan but it was too late Zeba had him running for their lives.
Zolden shot at Grievous giving them as much time as he could. But he lost track of Grievous who was already standing behind him.
"So brave, too bad, you're dead now," said Grievous as he struck him down.
