It has been a rather long journey for me. I've traveled throughout the entire galaxy just to see where it would lead me. Not a day goes by that I wonder "what could have happened?". My wife would be alive, the order would still be here, and my comrades wouldn't have fought one another.

I've taken many apprentices, but many found themselves in a predicament that they could never attain total knowledge, so they tried to burn it all. Fire, an element so easy to control, yet it has never been taught. Fire can create societies or destroy them, but only if you allow the flames to be fanned. My flames have extinguished many beings, Darth Nihilus, Vitiate, Abeloth, and many others. Now I'm hoping for a new chance at sparking a flame rather than extinguishing it.

As I make my way on Tatooine, I see a rather peculiar sand palace. This must be "Jabba's" space. A Hutt as they are called. I walk inside to find the very being I'm looking for, Shmi Skywalker, only to be confronted by guards. Easy to dispatch with a force choke. Buggers didn't last a second. "I've come here for miss Skywalker".

The Hutt speaks, and the droid naturally gives me a better interpretation. "You storm in and kill my guards, only to ask for one insignificant slave? You better have some credits to cover for damages."

"I'll pay, but not with money."

To my right a grey haired wookie rose and aimed his bowcaster approximately 2 centimeters from the back of my head.

"Gee, bounty hunters never learn do they" As soon as I sensed he was about to shoot, I dropped down, and with one swift movement turned on my lightsaber and sliced him in half vertically.

"JEDI!"

"Although I'm honored by the moniker, I am no jedi. Just a man who's survived a long time."

More guards surrounded me. I always wondered why they used numbers to overpoweer one skilled opponent? Especially if that opponent made them drop to their knees clutching their throats. Might as well crush their heart while I'm at it.

"Give me Shmi or everyone here dies."

The Hutt now seemed ready to negotiate, and after. A reasonable bargain of one Skywalker female in return of zero credits and having their throats mostly intact I was able to get my prize.

Shmi POV

Last thing that happened to me was getting put into a Hutt ship and getting. Treatted like dirt, and then complete unconsciousness when I woke up, I saw a mountain of a man n front of me staring at me. He began to speak.

"I guess it's a rather awkward situation to be in. To be a slave while pregnant without having sex and immediately being spoken to by a man whom you barely know is one surprise I don't think many can imagine."

This man spoke with a rather calming voice. He couldn't have been a day older than 25, but spoke as if he had a million years of expirience. Still, I couldn't help but be intimidated by the man.

"Who are you? Are you going to rape and kill me?"

The man simply laughed.

"What is it with you and rape? No one's going to rape anybody here. Killing however, is something I've been brought here to protect you from. You might not know it, but ypu have just been targeted by every Jedi and Sith lord in the galaxy. The Jedi fear what your child may become, and the Sith will want your child for their own gain. So, I took the liberty of being the first customer."

From that statement, I just realized what this man wanted. He wanted to take my child away from me, to use him as an apprentice for his gain. I'd have to give him guts though as he had the ability to admit it.

"You know, that kind of thinking will cause paranoia for even the toughest senators on Coruscant. I'm not asking for your son's power. As I said I've come here to help you survive. It's not like you have a choice either. I can train your son and we can raise him together, or I'll leave your fate to the Jedi and Sith. So, what will it be?"

I can't believe this twat. I'm pregnant and this guy just comes in nonchalantly into my life, purchases me, and tries to control and manipulate my thoughts. It's not like I can say no either. I have to put all my trust into this one person who could very well be trying to kill everything I stood for.

*sigh* "Very well. I may not like you, but you did take me away from the Hutts. I might be a slave forever in your care, but I'm willing to put that all aside as I can see that you gave me zero ability to fight back against you. Just don't kill my son, please."

"Shmi, I wouldn't put your son in harms way even if you asked. I swear that I will protect him and support him through every strife he encounters. Also, I didn't purchase you. I wanted to set you free."

Maybe I've been misinterpreting things incorrectly, I'm still skeptical of the man, but I certainly hope that his care would at leat bring some comfort for me. I'm kinda tired to being a slave after all.

"I never got your name. What is it, if I may ask?"

"I am Baron Ka."

And that's a wrap. Who is this Baron Ka? What could he want with Shmi or her son?
