Staring across the courtyard from across his living quarters, Maximus Alvinius saw a woman of such beauty and grace that it stopped him dead in his tracks. He was unsure where he knew this woman from, but the feeling he had got was as if he had known her for years. Within seconds she immediately locked eyes on him and gazed back. All Maximus could see was this woman’s amazing blue eyes gazing as if to put him into a trance. He felt serenity and peace when he looked at her. After realizing he had been gazing too long for embarrassment he quickly shifted away.

Later that day Maximus ran into a local merchant who always seemed to know what was going on throughout the area.

“Who is that woman?” Maximus asked the man.

“Shes a new transfer from some other planet. I’m told she is skilled warrior in hand to hand combat. If her beauty is anything like her fight, she will be dangerous.” Exclaimed the man.

A few hours later while grabbing drinks in the local Cantina the woman reappeared. This time she was dressed in her armor and while still beautiful, there was something about her appearance to take on anything that really pulled at Maximus’s soul.

The bartender leaned over and said “Ah go saw something. You look like a puppy who just tasted food for the first time.

“Aright, alright I will. Just give me a second.” Said Maximus.

Getting out of his seat he quickly adjusted his outfit and lightsaber as subtle as possible. Maintaining his cool he attempted to walk as casually as possible to this woman. Right as he got close to her Maximus tripped over a stool chair and came crashing down on the floor. Immediately the Cantina was in laughter.”

“I thought Jedi weren’t suppose to be clumsy.” The woman said to Maximus.

“Ah yeah, just got back from the Bacta tank after a mission. My minds still getting trying to get straight.” Maximus replied.

“Ah yes and drinks at a Cantina are sure to help.” The woman responded.

“Yes something like that.” Maximus replied while standing up and brushing himself off.

“I’m Maximus Alvinius. One of the Jedi here.” Maximus said while out stretching his hand out to introduce himself.

“Wow, you really don’t remember. I knew the transformation did wonders on you, but to see it in person is challenging.” Ashlynn replied glancing at his hand.

Confused Maximus looked around not sure if Ashlynn had understood he introduced himself, or if she was speaking to someone around him.

“No I’m talking to you Maximus Alvinius, or Landon Cruise as you were called prior to you transformation in the temple years ago. I was your wife in your darker days, but I too have attempted to come to the light. It seems some of you Jedi really lose a lot of yourself when you transition” Ashlynn responded.

Within seconds Maximus had small flashes of memory of the two kissing, their marriage, and some past missions.

“How could I of forgot? I knew I felt I knew you from somewhere and the feeling of love I had for you felt it consumed me when I laid eyes on you. Why does this have to happen right as theres a war on the horizon. I have so much to ask you.” Maximus responded as Ashlynn jumped up and embraced the Jedi in a deep kiss.

Maximus opening his eyes brightly at first in shock and then slowly transitioning into embracing and enjoying the kiss back. The two lock for a good two minutes before finally ending the smooch session.

“Look I’ve got to get back to my new unit and figuring out what I can do to help this Clan in the upcoming war. We will catch up on everything afterwards.” Ashlynn said starring into Maximus’s eyes.

“I understand. I will be thinking of you everyday until this war ends. I know we are connected deeper than just our past even if I don’t remember all the details right now. Please be safe out there and if you need me I will always be here.” Maximus responded.

With that she disappeared off into the city and left Maximus with a million questions in his own mind. Who was he before? What dark place had she come from that he had been to? A temple that he transitioned to the light side? What was this? He knew his memory was hazy from his days before coming here, but now he had so much more information from the past that he wanted to find out who he was. Of course he thought that it would come right before a impending war. This was something he would meditate about before the war and find the right time to find his past.
