Prologue
Journey Entry:
Since the beginning of the Clone Wars, the freedoms of the people in the galaxy were diminishing little by little. In reality, they were virtually nonexistent anymore. Seeing as today was proof of what it all had come to in the end.
Regardless, the last few days had been hard for us all. Even with the recent events that have happened in the last few hours it has made it even more difficult to deal with. Despite the fact that the Clone Wars had finally ended it still felt like the entire galaxy had come to an abrupt end.
Even now as I sit here on board Senator Organa's starship, the Tantive IV, with Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, and Senator Organa, himself. We have little choice but to accept the solemn events that have led us to this precise moment.
Then again, for a while now I had come to realize that the government I once respected and served dutifully no longer was the same as I had remembered it. Even before the Clone Wars had begun, I had always felt that the Republic had changed tremendously.
For over a thousand years, the Galactic Republic had existed while dispensing democracy, justice, and benevolence to its members. However, over the years the government had become mired in corruption by its greedy politicians and the deceitfulness of Chancellor Palpatine. For those reasons, alone it slowly began to collapse from within.
Nevertheless, in these last few years during the Clone Wars many things had changed greatly. For example, the people around me and the many places that I was familiar with were no longer the same as before. Still there were times during the Clone Wars that one couldn't tell a friend from an enemy anymore. Because of that, it just seemed as if nothing would ever be the same again.
What's more is that the Republic I once knew no longer existed and instead in its place there was a tyrannical Empire. That would only bring discontent and oppression to the people of the galaxy.
Everything was lost in one swift stroke today. The Jedi were all but wiped out, except for those who managed to escape the massacre on the battlefields. Even now, very little is known on how many of them survived. Yet Master Yoda fears that not many Jedi did.
Following the return to trip to Coruscant, Bail had been ordered to attend an emergency session of the Senate where it was revealed to all about Palpatine's true intentions for the future…an Empire under his rule. Once the decree had been made, he declared himself Emperor.
As if the situation couldn't get any worse, it had. Darkness had shrouded the galaxy under the new rule of the Sith and the spiral of tragedy had continued. Beginning with the eradication of the Jedi, to the end of the Galactic Republic, and ending with the death of my best friend who was an illustrious senator who would be greatly mourned and missed by her people.
Only the two children that had been born in total darkness will be able to bring back the light of hope with them to the galaxy. Even if they'll never know of each other's existence until their time comes. Here begins the journey of those who will fight for the future in their own way. Some will wait in the darkness to guide and the others will ignite the flames that will light the path.
A/N: So was it good? Was it Bad? Please do not flame me and be nice. Also, please be kind and review.
