The heavy sound of the ship entering the atmosphere awoke Rey from her sleep. The heavy pull of the atmosphere shook the ship like it was a tin can. She rushed to the front of the ship and noticed that they were passing through large clouds, the deep swirling greys and whites being the only thing that she could see at the moment. She soon noticed water droplets gathering at the edges of the window as they continued their controlled fall.
"Need any help?" She asked.
"I'll take you up on that offer when we land." Poe Dameron said as concentration laced his tone.
The ship soon broke free from the grip of the clouds showing a world full of giant ferns and towering insects. The rich blues and greens of the planet below showed plentiful signs of life. She felt the pull of the force from her place, rich and full, showing her the heartbeat of the planet. As the ship came closer to the world she noticed a village below. The tall wooden huts were built on stilts, no doubt to protect them from the wildlife below. The ship landed in the middle of a clearing just outside of the village, a gentle stop showing the Resistance that they had landed.
"Where are we?" Asked Rey in an awestruck voice.
"Felucia. Several members on this world are Resistance sympathizers. the elders of this village have promised us asylum while we build our base," answered Leia.
"I believe that you offered your help," Dameron asked from his seat in the pilots chair, "because I am going to need it for unloading the cargo."
"Fine," Rey sighed, "but just remember that you owe me a favor."
"That is understood loud and clear," Poe stated as they both went to her room.
As the two entered the room Rey suddenly recalled all of the books hidden behind the box. Unluckily for her that just so happened to be the first box that Poe went for. Rey cringed as she heard the sound of the Jedi books ungracefully collapsed to the ground.
Poe, having noticed her reaction decided to ask her, "Rey, what are these?"
Sighing in defeat Rey answered with a timid voice, "The ancient Jedi texts..."
"Did you steal these from-"
"Luke? I suppose that I sort of did, possibly, steal them from him while I was on..."
She trailed off as she heard Poe chuckling under his breath before breaking into a full laugh.
Rey was shocked at his reaction and was mortified when he plucked her notebook off the ground. She raced forwards to try and grab the notebook from his hand before he opened the book.
"Can we please focus on our job," Rey asked meekly after several failed attempts at prying the book from his hand.
"I suppose you're right," he said as he put the book in his pocket.
Rey and Poe made quick work of emptying out the room and taking the crates outside where others helped to lift them into the trees. After all of the work was dealt with Rey decided to go and ask Finn if he wanted to explore with her. The clouds had long since disappeared and the mid-day sun was shining on her face.
Right before she went to go looking for Finn, one of the villagers came to her before giving a short bow in respect. "The elders have asked for your presence in the stone hut Jedi," the girl said before she straightened up, "If you would allow me the honor, I would like to guide you to them."
"That would be most appreciated," Rey answered slowly as she took in the strangeness of the situation.
With those words said the tall frog-like girl turned and went towards the heart of the village. Rey followed with dhort, quick strides to match her long, slow ones. Once at the base of the hut the girl bowed again before leaving Rey to climb the ladder on her own. She wiftly climbed the ladder before entering the door made of beads. The beads were threaded on yellow strings , though the beads themselves where a deep crimson in colour.
She took a long step into the cool hut, the cold temperature offering her no comfort as she stepped before the elders.
The grey skinned man in the center was the first to speak after a heavy silence had filled the room. "Rey of Jakku, it has come to our attention that you are a Jedi in training. Is this true?"
"Yes it is..." Rey trailed off as she raked her brain for an appropriate title for the elder, "Elder of the village."
"Then we shall present you with some knowledge, young Jedi. If you travel west at the fall of night, and travel until the morning light, the deep red of dawn, shall show you the house of Raun. It is an ancient poem created by some early Jedi when they came to our village many millennia ago. It is believed that the House of Raun is a place of deep force energy. We believe that seeking the place shall help you on your journey young Jedi, so tonight we shall see you leave our village with plenty of provisions."
"Thank you sir," Rey said as she bowed and left the hut, going back out into the warmth of mid-day with a new purpose in mind.
