Prologue
To Mara Jade, My Granddaughter on her First Birthday.
A long time ago in this large galaxy, The Jedi Order was formed. They became myths, heroes, and galaxy protectors. They were what everyone wished to be, as those who were not romanticized the life of a Jedi. No one knew of the pain that a Jedi had to live with. They could not love, for that passionate emotion could lead to anger and jealousy. The dark side are these.
Now, in this new age of the Republic, things are different. Jedi are almost a dead sect. The Emperor, my husband, killed them, Including my only brother. Only a few escaped. But that is for later.
The Jedi were formed on Dagabah, a relatively unused planet. On the planet the Chronicles were written. It was what would be later known as the Jedi code and a prophecy, one that held hope.
There was to be one who was chosen for the duty of balancing the force. But that was not to say he was the only one. He would have three people helping him. One was his lover, the other two friends. They would bring the force back to the right balance it once was…before the sith.
There were two families of the chronicles. One was the Palpatine line, the other, the Kenobi line. One was to be an evil unbalance, the other the light unbalance. Which would be what was not known at the time. Another bloodline, the bloodline that was lost, was also involved. It would be one of four to be the chosen. It would later be thought to be Skywalker, although now I am not so sure.
The Sith line would have two daughters. One a sith, the other Jedi. The daughters were destined to fall in love with the son of the Jedi line. They were also fated to fight each other when the time for balance came. The winner would show which unbalance would create the balance of the force. She would also be the one the Jedi would really be in love with.
Now, my precious Mara, you may think your grandmother crazy, but I believe it was your mother and father who were spoken about in this prophecy. You are a Kenobi, proving the Kenobi line the light unbalance, but you are also Palpatine. Your grandfather is a Sith. Your aunt is a sith. However, please do not follow them. It is because of them that I must write this. You must know the truth of your parents. Perhaps their story shall make you choose their path and be a Jedi. It may also tell you of the mistakes made by the older generations that make this balance necessary.
This story is about Love. A love between two people
Who were fated to love, but yet were forbidden to love.
