The Clone Wars: Ultimates - Genesis/Prologue

The small human girl watched from the top of the apartment building as the man in a brown hood slowly approached her home. She turned to her mother beside her, who looked down at her, sadness on her face. Confused, the girl turned back to the man, but was immediately guided by her mother away from the window they stood at. Holding her hand, the mother walked to the elevator, and together they made the descent, and then met the man at the base of the apartment.

The girl looked up at the man, his face obscured by the shadow that his hood cast. But he raise his hands and brought the hood down, allowing her to see his face. He had brown eyes and long brown hair that was seemingly graying. He smiled down warmly at her, then knelt down and held out a hand. She placed her own small hand on his, and gave him a big smile. Then the man stood up and looked at her mother.

"You know what she is capable of, do you not?" he said. While the girl did not understand what it was he was saying, the mother understood completely and nodded. She looked down at the girl, who looked back at her, seeing that she was on the verge of crying.

"I do."

The man shut his eyes for a moment, then nodded to the girl, "Then you know what must be done to her."

"Yes," was all the girl's mother responded with.

He knelt down again. The girl looked straight into his brown eyes, and she knit her eyebrows. He smiled, and asked the mother, "What is her name?"

The girl's mother looked down at her daughter as a tear ran down her cheek and touched the stone ground below. "Her name..." She sniffled a moment, then continued. "Her name is Viera. Viera Cacete."

The man stood up again and placed a hand on the woman's shoulder. Her face was now in her hands, and she was crying greatly now. Her daughter, Viera, would have to travel away from her home there on Krenton. As much as she wanted her daughter to become something more in the galaxy, she could not let go of the one she loved most. The man sighed, then said, "I know that departure is a sad thing, but you and I both know it must be done. Your daughter, Viera, must become a Jedi."

"I understand..." she murmured. "At least I know that she will become something better."

He smiled, then knelt down and picked up Viera. She looked confused, and looked at her mother and asked, "Mommy? What is he doing?" Viera looked back at the man, the Jedi Master, and said, "What are you doing to me?" Her voice was high-pitched, although made the man smile warmly once more.

"You're going to become a Jedi, young one," the man said. He began to walk away from Viera's mother as Viera continued to talk to him.

"What is your name?" she asked, trying her best with pronunciation.

The man laughed softly. "My name is Kian."

"Kian?"

"Kian."

Viera Cacete, in the arms of the Jedi Master Kian Jicolo, then went to the man's shuttle. Together, they departed for the Galactic Republic's capital of Coruscant, where Viera would train to become something great. She would become a Jedi.
