Death Star: episode #7 Arawn’s Legacy
They neared the planet Luke went to school at. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man was waiting for his supplies. Now this middle-aged man happened to be a great man, in his day. It was over for him now. His glorious days! It ended the day the Emperor came to power, the day the Empire cam into being. That seemed like too long ago to the man named Arawn. Meanwhile Luke and his aunt Beru were getting closer to the planet as the seconds passed. Just as they were about to Land, Luke faced his aunt and asked, “Why would someone live way out here. I didn’t even know anyone lived here. “ “I don’t know, Luke,” Beru said simply. She didn’t particularly like Luke. (As I have already told you, but I didn’t give my reason yet.) Beru had four children of her own. They were named as follows: Gryvonbarf, Taran, Eilonwy, and Shanna. Gryvonbarf was given to Owen’s brother (whom Beru doesn’t know the name of and has never met. But guaranteed she would recognize the name...) because Owen and she had gone through a rough time during the Clone Wars at the time Gryvonbarf was born. Owen fought in the Wars and they wanted to provide their son with a good home in case Owen got killed. Gryvonbarf wasn’t seen again. Gryvonbarf was the youngest. Taran and Eilonwy are twins. Both disappeared, assumed dead. Then came Shanna and she also disappeared and assumed to be dead. Luke is not hers, yet he survived and that’s why she hates him so much. Just thought you needed to understand all that so you know why she doesn’t like Luke. Anyway, back to Arawn. Now Arawn is thinking about the things I told you about earlier in this story before I switched scenes to Luke and Beru. Arawn was thinking about these things as he often did. Arawn often thought also of his adopted son (Dash Corta.) Also, he thought of his daughter. She had been missing for years. There was no way to get her back now. Arawn works for the Empire, in a way. He can’t directly. He works for the Emperor’s top servant, Darth Vader. Now Arawn had never liked Vader, but he was in it for the money, so he tolerated Darth Vader. It was a secret that was kept from the Emperor. A deal made long ago between himself and Vader. Arawn had worked for the Emperor once...before the Emperor was the Emperor...until that day. Arawn had failed the Emperor under strict circumstances on a secret job...and he lost everything because of the failure. He is now on the Emperor’s most wanted list, but the Emperor had dropped him 10 years ago because the Emperor assumed Arawn was dead. Boy, if the Emperor only knew! He had once been in Darth Vader’s position. He was there when he failed. Secretly, Arawn was glad he had failed. Thanks to Obi-Wan he had half-failed ant the other half he had failed thanks to the others...Suddenly Arawn looked up and was forced out of his thoughts. Two people were headed his way. Luke once more attempted a question at his aunt. “Why would anyone live this far out?” “Shut up, Luke. We are approaching our new customer.” And indeed she was right. Just ahead of them sat Arawn. Arawn stood up to greet hem. Luke ducked by a branch that was in his path. Beru had purposely made him walk that path, taking the nicer side of the very narrow path. AS they stood there and were about to do business, another group of people were doing Business on the opposite side off the galaxy, at the Empire’s capital... Until next time!
