1 Lost and found

Lehon was a tropical world that inhabited a remote and relatively unknown corner of the galaxy known as the Tempered Wastes, a large void area of space. Its surface was largely covered by oceans which were dotted by numerous clusters of islands and archipelagos. It was the only habitable planet in the Lehon system, it shared an orbit around its primary star with the ruins of the Star Forge, an ancient Rakatan space station and factory which drew its fuel directly from the system's primary star. The planet itself was orbited by two small moons, but only one of them was close enough to be visible from the surface during daylight, covering a significant portion of the sky.

On a large island, near the equator of the planet, a small boy was running around and playing in the ruins of an ancient temple. The boy had been alone on this island for as long as he could remember, just him and the fish he hunts for food.

Today was different however as he accidentally activated an ancient Rakatan terminal which began to furiously scold the boy until he fled down into the depths of the temple, the deepest he had ever been, the boy saw blue 'shadows' that were interacting with one another. Some appeared to be fighting one another with weapons that glowed in different colours, some red, some blue and some green. Others were moving objects from a distance with just their hands while others were reading some sort of toy.

The young boy was enthralled by all of this and began looking through all of the rooms in the hopes of finding something interesting or something new to play with. As he enters the room before last he senses something different than the darkness he has felt his entire life. Like a blast of sunlight on a cold winters day his eyes were drawn towards the object and reached out to touch it when a blue 'shadow' appeared in front of him and remarked "The Holocron that you are reaching for is unique and the only one of its kind. It can grant you the power and techniques to get off this island and the world however there will be a time when the Holocron will be a great hindrance to you and may kill you outright, This Holocron was designed for those who have been trained for decades not someone who has not even learnt the basics of force mastery. The choice is yours young one"

As soon as the boy heard he could leave the island he began to edge closer and closer to the Holocron and when the blue 'shadow' vanished he grasped the Holocron into his hands and felt a stinging pain as it began to fuse into his body. The skin on his chest began to bubble as it surrounded the Holocron and began to drag it into his body, the boy began to scream and cry at the entire process until it ended, he then returned to his stance of wonder.

A voice appeared out of nowhere "So you are my new padawan? I sense the dark side is very strong within you, this will not do, I believe the force has brought you to me and I hope I can save you from the darkness deep within you" The boy was startled and began to run out of the temple. The voice was amused by this and said "Boy, why are you running? I'm inside your head, there is nowhere you can go, I have a feeling this journey of ours will be interesting."
