Chapter 1: Origins
It was a joyous day on the planet of Karasi. As the sun set on the Amano Ocean, the Karasi people waited anxiously, awaiting the arrival of their new prince. Then, the trumpets burst out. The crowd cheered wildly. Finally, Queen Sakura and King Hiroshi emerged from the magnificent Jade Palace. In Sakura's hand was a blanket and inside was wrapped their new baby boy. As soon as the crowd settled, Hiroshi announced the news. "Today is a joyous day of the Karasi," yelled Hiroshi, "For the heir of the throne has been born!" The crowd went wild, but Hiroshi continued, "He shall be named Ryu, for he has the strength and power of a king!" The crowd cheered as fireworks went off and illuminated the sky. Today truly was a joyous day…

"Ryu, dear, hand me the Koma berries, please," asked Chef Tomiko. Ryu, who was playing with his small pet Nexu Scraps, quickly went to go get the berries from the garden. He ran back across the long hallway, saying hello to the guards, back to the kitchen and handed them to Tomiko. "Thank you, Ryu," said Tomiko, smiling. Ryu bowed and quickly ran back to Scraps, who was chewing on a couch in the main hall. Ryu pushed Scraps away, scolding him. Suddenly, the door near him opened and walking out were 2 strange figures clad in black and an orange-clad Neimoidian, arguing with Ryu's father. "You need to support the Separatist, Hiroshi, or else you will face great peril," shouted the Neimoidian as he walked out the palace gates with the figures and 2 droids, armed with guns. Ryu felt scared since he didn't know what was going on. Hiroshi was pale and looked troubled, and then he started to say some things Ryu didn't understand angrily. Ryu and Scraps ran playfully to the nursery, but they were trying to get away from the fighting. For the rest of the day, Ryu and Scraps didn't play as heartily as they normally did. Queen Sakura came into the room and asked Ryu if he was OK. Ryu just nodded and continued to play with his Jedi action figure. Ryu wanted to become a Jedi, but an embassy from the Jedi Order said that Ryu wasn't ready yet and needed time to develop. One day, thought Ryu, I will become a Jedi.
