Ben Losan looked over the edge at the large reflecting pool below. How many times had he done this in the past? How many times had he found himself looking over the edge with his mother nearby? His mother, her death was still fresh in his mind even though it had happened months before, long before the Battle of Coruscant. In the reflecting pool below, he thought he could see her standing there beside him, but it was just that, a thought. When Ben was only at the age of six, his father had passed away, killed in the explosion of a passenger ship. His mother, killed by an assassin strong in the dark side, passed away in Ben's arms shortly after the explosion of his home on the outskirts of New Baes, the capital city of Baes Logia.
Night had just fallen on the city of New Baes. Ben had been out having fun with his friends and had walked home. He reached the house and opened the door, inside only the lamp light was on. Words were exchanged and Ben could tell there was someone else in the house. He looked around the corner into the living room and saw his mother looking man in the eyes and then there was a flash of light, his mother crumpled to the floor.
Tears came to Ben's eyes and they fell into the reflecting pool, causing ripples. Hoping no one would notice, Ben reached out with the Force and paused the ripples, making it look like the pool had frozen in that small area. Ben looked into the ripples and saw his life over these past few months. It had its ups and downs and it had been started by the abruptness of one event. One day he had been a normal everyday teenager enjoying his life. The next day his entire life had been thrown upside down and he had disappeared from the planet that he called home. But now however, he had returned and he could tell he was gonna stick around for a while.
