The young apprentice always sat over the edge to watch as the sun goes down to the sea and the cloak of night follows it. The waves hit the rocky walls with a roar. On the next day she would search for her Kyber crystal in the caves of Ilum and wondered about its color. She crossed fingers for purple or white.
Luke was getting close and he sat by her side on the grass.
"How do you feel? You must be sure of what you are about to accept. The Jedi Path is valorous, but it's not for anyone who is able to feel the Force."
"You have already asked it, Master. I want it. I accept it. I was called and I answer it. I want to understand the Force." said Rey vigorously determined.
Luke remained silent for some seconds beholding the horizon.
"I can feel you have strong feelings for someone. A young man."
Rey became nervous. She has heard about the prohibitions of the Jedi, but she thought the laws could have changed by now. She consented in silence. Luke gave a soft laugh.
"The rules for the Jedi Path have been misunderstood for a long time by those who didn't know anything about the Order. We need focus. Discipline. Patience. No attachments or dependences. Fight for the peace in the name of the Force. Do you understand what I mean?" Rey was confused. "My father, Anakin, loved my mother, Padmé. But he had no control over his feelings. His passion for her was above love. He was obsessive, jealous, afraid, angry… and he thought it was love. He was corrupted by the fear to lose her, by passion. A Jedi must feel love, yes. Love for all living things that bind the galaxy together. Fight for this love. If a Jedi loves someone who wants to be by his side, this is noble, nobody can be against it. But the loved one can't be a Jedi's weakness. If the one wants to go away or has to go away, a Jedi must know when to say goodbye. Never abandon the Path.
"I'm not going to disappoint you, Master." Rey smiled shedding a tear.
"I know it, because I believe in you. Do you?"
Luke didn't wait for the answer. He turned around going back to the house leaving Rey alone with her hopeful thoughts.
Thanks, hope you liked it. It was an exercise for me, actually. I wrote it in Portuguese, my first language. I'm good, but still a learner. It was a challenge. I wanted to tell a story that I would like to see and could happen in the movies. That's why there's no M/E-rated scene. We fans know Star Wars franchise is fantasy mainly for children.
