《Star Wars EpisodeIVAU: Revival (Star Wars AU Series #2)》Ben's Retelling
Advertisement
Eden's POV
Yoda led us inside his living quarters, where it was sparsely furnished except for a fountain composed of singing stones. I kinda expected something a little messy, but hey, this wasn't a college dorm. Leave it to Yoda to be organized.
"The news, hides so much, it does. Rigged, it must be," Yoda nodded. "Tell the truth, it must, about things like Skywalker and Kenobi's disappearance,"
"What about it?" I folded my arms.
"The truth is, I was almost assassinated by the person who killed Bail Organa," Ben nodded.
"Really?!" I said, eyes widened. I heard it from school that Ben (or Obi-Wan, as he was called then) was a valiant Jedi Master who fought in the Battle of Mustafar. Why would he act like a craven and hide away? That just seemed way out of character.
"Why'd you have to hide away?" Luna questioned.
"Didn't he say he'd talk about that another time?" I hissed in Luna's stupid face.
"The reason I had to hide away was because I didn't want to be found by the person who assassinated Bail Organa," Ben began.
"Hey, we get that, but would you mind telling us what happened?" Luke said.
"It was a dark and stormy night,"
"Oh, no, here we go again," I sighed. Isn't that a little too...cliche?
"I remember it so well. There was an attack on the Jedi Temple,"
"That's basically Order 66," Luke blurted out. When will he stop being such an insufferable know it all?
"Now, let's not jump to conclusions here," Luna retorted.
"I remember walking back to the Jedi Temple. I was just minding my own business when suddenly, somebody cupped my mouth shut. It was a woman, a woman in black. She was accompanied by a few others. One of them was a commander going by the name of Yvonne,"

"Yvonne..." I murmured under my breath. Isn't she the right-hand woman of Hecate? She was there when Hecate tried to kill me.
"I fought for my life, but they kept assaulting me. I managed to remove Hecate's mask, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Ben continued.
"Who is she, really?" Luke questioned.
"I know her...but I couldn't remember her name,"
"What useful information," Luna murmured under her breath. "Knowing Hecate's true identity would make catching her a lot easier,"
"Then, somebody pulled Yvonne away from me, giving me the chance to get away. I watched in surprise as the assaulters were beaten up and defeated. It was Ahsoka Tano,"
"Ahsoka Tano..." I nodded. I remember learning about her in history class. The teachers always described her as a spunky teenage apprentice. At least...she was for a time. I also heard she was accused of bombing the Jedi Temple and to make a long story short, she left the Jedi Order.
"She asked me if I was alright. Then she took me back to her Jedi quarters and helped me with my bruises and cuts. She told me she was attacked by those same people and said I should flee. They've been lurking around for quite awhile," Ben concluded. Luke began to yawn.
"A little tired, you are?" Yoda smiled. "Sleep in Kenobi's quarters, you can,"
"I'm off to bed. See you later," Luke got up and headed off.
"Same," I followed Luke out of the door. A few seconds later, he stopped cold in his tracks and turned to me.
"Eden...there's something I need to figure out for myself," he said.
"What is it?"
"I have a feeling I might find out something extremely valuable. Can you come with me?"
"Sure thing," I said as I followed Luke. I had a gut feeling this was about Anakin...but I'm not psychic, am I? There's only one way to find out.

This Used to be About Dungeons
This Used to be About Dungeons is a comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Mostly it's about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, or haggling with the guy selling squash, or taking care of a neglected garden. It's putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, or disarm traps, but when you come out, you realize you've found the perfect magic item to give to one of the local kids that helped you out when your cat was sick. Look, the dungeons are always going to be there, and sometimes you need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates, or make a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. Your tour through the local dungeons can wait. You'll have rivalries with other groups, and find some dungeon eggs that need to be carefully incubated in case they turn out to be something valuable, and help a friend to build a fishing weir. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic, and even more to do and see. Join me, won't you?The cover image is Morning Sunlight Effect, Eragny, by Camille Pissarro.

8 285F Rank Dungeon King
At one point during the history of humanity, things changed drastically. Magic was revealed to have always existed, lying under our eyes but remaining unseen. While that energy strenghtened humanity, it also brought it's load of calamities in the form of pocket dimensions whose gates opened all over the world. Those dimensions named dungeons were the very spark that created the golden age of humanity, an age in which anyone who could use magic could become anything.

Those people were named the Hunters, greedy madmen entering dungeons in search of exciting adventures and tons of treasures. One particular Hunter living in Korea just so happened to find himself inside a dangerous dungeon for a high-paying job. Instead of fighting anyone inside , he merely assisted the actual hunters who did the work and ended up finding himself in quite the impossible situation. That was the birth of a hunter with his very own dungeon, one that he obtained through a cowardly mean. So now, what happens when a despicable human being is given way too much power and gets liberated from any shackles ? This book is part of the VoidVerse
8 179The Goddess’ Chosen
Destiny is a strange force indeed. One simple act can create a ripple, one simple change can cause a cataclysm. One act outside of the individual would be enough to alter one's life no matter how insignificant that life may be. This is the adventures of Allisa Reed, a young girl from our world who found the legendary sword Excalibur and taken to the magical world of Avalon. On the other side of the portal with her friends by her side, Allisa is forced into a conflict she is not prepared for, ordained as the Goddess Chosen to bring about one of two possible outcomes; Salvation or destruction. ------------------------------------ Author's notes: This is more or less the first draft of this story. Currently working on a second draft. Spelling and grammar is definitely my biggest weakness, particularly in my earlier stuff. I've done some editing and hopefully have ironed out most of these mistakes in my older chapters though I'm fairly certain there are some mistakes still left. This story is ongoing. Updates are slow as I publish when a chapter is ready. Expect long chapters for most of it. Just sort of my style. Only available on Royal road.com
