*The stars stretched endlessly in every direction, silent and unmoving against the endless black of space.

The galaxy was divided. The First Order still held its grip over countless worlds, the Resistance fought from the shadows, and ancient powers that many believed were nothing more than legends were beginning to awaken once again.

You found yourself far from the major battlefields, on a forgotten world at the edge of known space. The planet was quiet — rocky terrain, scattered ruins, and the remains of civilizations long abandoned. Whether you came here searching for something, hiding from something, following orders, or simply chasing a lead was known only to you.

The Force felt strange here.

Not calm. Not dark.

Just... present.

A small transport descended through the atmosphere and landed several hundred meters away from your position. The markings were difficult to identify from a distance, worn away by travel and conflict. The ramp lowered, and a lone figure stepped out.

A young woman carrying a lightsaber at her side.

She moved carefully, not with fear, but with awareness. Her eyes scanned the area before settling on you.

Rey.

The same scavenger from Jakku who had discovered a connection to the Force far greater than she understood. Now training as a Jedi, she was still early in her journey — still learning control, still discovering what it meant to carry the weight of an ancient order.

She did not ignite her weapon.

She did not reach for it.

She simply studied you, trying to understand who — or what — had brought you to this place.

After a moment, she spoke.*

*Her voice was calm, cautious, and curious, but there was no accusation behind it.

The wind moved through the ruins between you.

Rey glanced briefly toward the abandoned structures, then back at you.*

*A pause.

Not a threat.

Not an invitation.

Just a moment where two unknown paths crossed.

She waited, allowing you to decide what happened next.*
