Chapter 1
Brody's Pov
I pull the hood from my robes off my head as I walk into the crowded building people bumping into me left and right, irritating but nothing I wasn't used to from the Jedi temple back home on coruscant. My mind wanders as I continue walking each step the building would begin to look more and more like the temple. Quickly collecting my thoughts I pull out the slip of paper brought to me by some flying creature.
"Dock 9 3/4.. That doesn't make sense.." I go over it again to ensure my eyes weren't tricking me and sure enough I was right the first time. I look up and notice I'm almost there already I'm at docking station 9. Though the shuttle is much different then what I'm used to, then again this world seems significantly less advanced then any I've seen before. Yawning I take a look at the clock. 4AM I decide some rest would be nice and sit down on a bench quickly falling asleep. "Please don't go.. It was a mistake." quickly I sit up after my nightmare getting up and bumping into someone. Before I could even apologize the person would run off again. I looked at my ticket again no luck finding it all I know is I have to board it at 11. With 5 minutes left I begin frantically looking for docking station 9 3/4 bumping into yet another kid.
Kid: "Sorry Mr."
Me: "Don't worry about it. You lost at all?"
Kid: "Yes actually I'm looking for 9-"
Me: "9 3/4 so am I. I'll help you look." Just as I say that a redheaded woman and some Children rush by us as I motion for the kid to follow me.
Me: "Excuse me Ms? We're wondering if you could help us find-"
Mother: "9 3/4 of course we're heading there ourselves follow us. Quickly now we don't want to be late." Following them the run head first into a piller phasing through it as me and the kid follow once walked through everything then becomes clear to me. Much like where I'm from this place is very different from the normal world at least from what my worlds like anyway. I motion for the kid to follow the family as I board the train finding an empty section for myself to rest in.
Waitress: "Hello would like something to snack on for the ride?" I look back up to the door noticing a woman with a cart full of random assorted candies, or what I assume to be candies.
Me: "No thank you I'm quite alright." I say with a smile as she returns one and goes on her way. I sigh quietly and put my back to the window to the outside world keeping watch of the door before yet again falling asleep. When I awoke I could hear the soft scratching of something to my left almost like pen on paper. I didn't open my eyes much rather I just listened and pretended to be asleep. I could sense another person with me, a young girl roughly the same age as me if not a year or so younger. She was drawing something but sadly even with my heightened senses thanks to the force I was unable to tell what. Without trying to pry too much I began to read her thoughts. Words like cute, handsome and various others seemed to run rampant as she continued to draw her heartbeat at an accelerated rate and her emotions running wild. Something I had a bad habit of doing. When she really focused on the drawing I sat up and opened my eyes now looking at the picture. My face heated up a little as I looked at it. She had drawn me almost down to the exact detail. From the messy look of my hair to ever so slight glint of my lightsaber peeking out from my robes. I look at her again and our eyes lock for a second before her face grows bright red.
Girl: "I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to seem creepy I-" Before she could finish the train would stop jerking me forward and her back a little bit. As I go to say something though she runs off the train and into the sea of people.
Me: "I liked it..." I take a deep breath calming myself as I pull my hood over my messy hair my Padawan braid now peaking just outside of it as I make my way into the crowd dodging people who would talk to me left and right before arriving at some shop. Inside I could see a child with glasses and a rather strange mark on his forehead waving a stick around as strange lights followed the movements of it. "Curious " I thought to myself as I continued now making my way towards what appeared to be a castle of sorts walking down an ally way I make sure no ones around before using the force to propel myself to the top of one of the towers using it as a swift entry to the massive building. I use this opportunity to pull out my holocron my master gave me giving me coordinates and a name of where I should be. Hogwarts academy for young wizards and witches strange name for an academy but not the worst I continue to go through it only to find a new recording. Something I have not seen yet. A video of Master Obi wan, he warns not to return to Corascant for the Jedi order has fallen... "What!? That's impossible!" I try to search further through it to see if there was any deception behind it, possible a trick by a sith. But Master Obi wan was sadly telling the truth I could sense it, slight wounds in the force I could feel clear as day all over the galaxy. Shaking my head I push all the thoughts of my fellow Jedi passing out of my head as I hide the holocron again in the small satchel I was given. I jump down the wall now heading towards the main building hiding amongst the droves of kids all of various ages heading towards the main section of the castle I could sense her again, right next to me now I looked over towards her noticing small signs of nervousness and irritation on her face but also with her ripples in the force. I give her a slight nudge and she looks at me before I quickly pull her off to the side away from the crowd.
Girl: "Hey! What are you do-" I take my hood off now revealing my face my grey eyes locked to her brown ones not by my own will, no but by something else. "It's you. The one from the train, I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to come off as-"
Me: "Relax yourself. Your fine I actually appreciate the art you made of me." I could tell she wasn't used to compliments as her face grew red and she averted her gaze from me.. As the crowd passed aside from only a few children I took the chance to take her hand for a moment and begin walking again.
Girl: "I haven't seen you before. You must be a transfer since you seem to old to be a first year, do you know what house your part of?" I did not reply instead I just gave her a confused sort of look. "Wait you don't know? Then you have to be a first year."
Me: "I assure you that I may be new around here but I'm nothing close to those much younger students." I say now piecing together what she means. "Though since I am new here I would need to have someone show me around. I would greatly appreciate it if you would help me." I looked over at her again to see her face now completely red, her mind now most definitely jumping to conclusions or brash thoughts.
Girl: "O-ok yeah I'll do it.. The name's Renee by the way." she looked at me again now having a small smile, something in my chest seemed to jump at this as my stomach felt weird. Like something moved with it.
Me: "Alsha-" I stop realizing that with the order falling I would need a new identity. "Brody.. Call me Brody"
