Hi! Here is the continuation with a space and ground fight, above and on a planet as deserted as Tatooine. Do not hesitate to vote (if you liked it) or to comment.

Kyria's point of view

I was meditating, in one of the rooms I shared with Luke and other comrades, when I felt a familiar presence coming. I opened my eyes to see Obi-Wan, but seemingly translucent. I couldn't help but open my jaw, completely surprised. How could this be?

Obi-Wan, amused: There are many mysteries in the Force, my friend.

Me: Indeed. I never thought it was possible to become a ghost.

Obi-Wan: That's something I learned during my exile on Tatooine. But that's not why I came, my friend.

I regained my composure, waiting for his words.

Me: What is it?

Obi-Wan: Kyria...The galaxy depends on Luke and Leia. One of them must be trained to be a Jedi, at least.

Me: I will not force any of my children into a destiny, Obi

Obi-Wan: We don't have a choice, Kyria

Me : Really? Into what? A user of the light side, is not necessarily a Jedi. Just as there are other users of the dark side, other than the Sith.

Obi-Wan: The galaxy needs Jedis, Kyria! You see that! Don't let your motherly love blind you to the situation.

Me: Forcing the issue will only make it worse. If the Force decides the Jedi must return, it will.

Obi-Wan: Is that the Jedi talking, or the mother?

Me: Both. And as I told you, the Jedi are not the only representatives of the light in this fight against the darkness.

He sighed, but he couldn't help but give me a tender smile.

Obi-Wan: Sometimes I wonder who the Master is.

Me surprised: What do you mean?

Obi-Wan: You have a wisdom, Kyria, that can rival a Jedi Master.

Me smiling: Don't think that this compliment will change my mind.

Smiling Obi-Wan: Far be it from me to have such intentions, my friend.

Me: Oh yes. That I don't see you forcing Luke into his decision. Otherwise, ghost or not, you'll hear me!

But he disappeared, making me doubt he heard my words

Me: Obi-Wan Kenobi!

A few days later

Shmi's point of view

On the bridge of the Angel, a cruiser under my command in the alias of Kelsa Telris, I was looking at the wormhole we entered. The staff of my cruiser were loyal followers of my father. Even when he allowed me some freedom, he always kept an eye on me. It annoyed me, but I didn't really have a say in it. So I just went along with it. Next to me was my second in command. A guy named Quelan Eshev, who was probably just a little younger than me. Brown-haired, green-eyed, a pretty ordinary-looking guy, in my opinion. And that's what I liked about him. It was a change from my extraordinary family members. On top of that, he was competent and loyal. What more could you ask for?
