Just after Midnight, in the cover of darkness, a ship was entering Serenno without notice.
Their drop point being the forested surface of Serenno, quite far away from any cities and outposts.
As the ship landed, four people left and one stayed.
The four people's identity was quite obvious, each wore brown robes, added with the lightsabers held on their belt visibly, it wasn't hard to tell they were Jedi.
Still on the ship, was the pilot.
As the four Jedi left, the pilot took the ship away still in the cover of darkness.

Once again, a year had passed.
Already was Terand now four years of age.
His siblings both three years of age, and their parents now almost showing signs of ageing.
Still, the Galaxy was quiet, however, in the shadows, forces were moving without the notice of anyone.
These forces, would in time, change the Galaxy itself, without prior knowledge except to few...
To such that Terand was simply living his life, ignorant of what was happening, simply wishing to become stronger.
His reasons?
There was a certain event that he could see was going to happen through the Star Wars System...
Notice: There will be a Galactic War called as the Clone Wars within fifty years, you have four options...
Option One: Survive the Clone Wars. (Difficulty: Extremely Easy) (Reward: Knowledge Unlock)
Option Two: Be on the winning side of the Clone Wars (Difficulty: Easy) (Reward: Knowledge Unlock X2)
Option Three: Kill important figures of either side (Difficulty: Hard) (Reward: Knowledge Unlock X3)
Option Four: Prevent the Clone Wars (Difficulty: Insane) (Reward: ???)
"Clones..." Terand began a monologue, remembering the past in only vague flashbacks.
The term "Clone Wars" was foreign, however, the term "clones" wasn't.
He saw how it stated "Galactic" meaning that the whole Galaxy was involved, however surviving and being on the winning side was quite easy.
Perhaps it was similar to a Cold War, he wasn't sure, but another thing he did find out was this.
Planets included in the Clone Wars are...
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
The very first on one side was Serenno, of course, he could simply leave Serenno, but another thing he found out was that all the Core Worlds and Important Planets were active in some way or another in the Clone Wars.
He wasn't sure how he would act, but he knew that he would.

In a city on Serenno, there were a group of people on the floor, evidently, they were shot dead.
Near the scene, there was a rugged man that seemed to be a smuggler running away from police officers.
He had a short beard and small moustache, looking to be about fifty years of age, his movements were very agile for someone his age.
Standing at six foot, or just above a hundred and eighty centimetres, in his youth, he must have been even taller, however, it seemed that he was unable to stand up straight due to an injury of some sort to his back.
Chasing him were only two officers, and the smuggler had with him two blasters and by the way that the people on the floor looked shot and the time when they were shot.
It could be said that the smuggler was a quick draw with accurate shots to boost, as there were no shots behind him or the dead that could reveal any misses or dodges.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the smuggler may be able to simply kill the police officers behind him, and just chose not to.
As the Smuggler ran some more, he decided to look behind, not seeing any police officers, he stopped running as quickly, but as he wasn't looking forward...
"AAAHHH!". Bumping into someone wearing a robe, it could be seen that it was a young man, the smuggler seeing what happened, revealed a hint of greed in his eyes, undetectable, but there, as he quickly helped the young man up.
"Hey kid, are you alright?" The first words coming from the smuggler to the young man, with the reply being, "Yeah, thanks for helping me!".
"No Worries" The Smuggler replied as if nothing happened, and then apologised before running off, "Sorry for bumping into you, Kid, I gotta go now!".
As the smuggler ran, he ran with a hidden smile and light giggle.
As the young man dusted his robes and checked he had everything.
He noticed something missing that he originally had on his belt.
It was his lightsaber!
How could he lose it, to him, remembering the first words he was told by his Master, after receiving it when he made it, he instantly felt despair.
"This weapon... Is your life..."
Suddenly recalling the smuggler that ran into him, he looked to see where he went, but looking around, the smuggler was long gone.
"Master's going to kill me...."

As Terand and children his age were on the playgrounds, he could see a middle-aged man running.
Following him were groups of police officers, the middle-aged man was very quick, though looking to be about fifty, he was far quicker than the police officers following, despite some looking to be in top physical position.
"Big Brother!! That Grandpa is running from all those people!".
The voice came from Kalibre, Terand's younger sister who spoke in the tone of someone who should be far older.
She was much more mature than any non-adult that Terand had met.
He wasn't sure why, but Kalibre though immature at sometimes such as this, was extremely smart and could speak quite well.
Barton followed behind his two older siblings, perhaps it was the infatuation of books that Terand possessed which cause for the twins to likewise read.
The lack of television that Terand would watch unless of course, something important was on.
Perhaps, Terand was just a good role model, and Kalibre followed on.
But, Terand hearing what his sister said, knowing she was joking decided to reply likewise, "That Grandpa must be pretty fit to run that quick!".
Meanwhile, Barton was simply playing with the others his age, whilst Kalibre constantly followed what Terand did.

"Home, sweet home!!!".
The "Grandpa" or the "Smuggler" exclaimed as he was moments away from his entering his apartment.
As he did, he heard a nearby voice from a young child, "Big Brother, look it's that Grandpa!".
Freezing for a second, the Smuggler looked the source of a voice, revealing it to be Kalibre.
Kalibre with Barton and Terand had both come upstairs, they lived only on the second floor of a high rise apartment, the above floors were actually practically empty as well.
There were about only five rooms on each floor, and each was quite big.
"Hey you, young boy and girl, we're connected by Fate, I know it!".
Terand for a second, spoke out, "Me?".
The Smuggler hearing this replied, "No brat! Not you, those two beside you!".
"........."
Destiny?
