Chapter Text
The endless black sky was littered with bright stars that seemed close enough to touch. The temperature outside made goosebumps rise on your skin, but it wasn’t enough to make you want to go inside.
Instead, you were sitting on your apartments roof, a hot chocolate in your hand, a blanket wrapped around your shoulders.
From your apartment roof, you could see the full moon as it illuminated the night sky, standing out against the black night sky.
You had been sitting here for the past 30 minutes, a shuddery breath leaving your lip as you sat back against the fabric lawn chair that was consistently sitting on the roof.
Your hands were wrapped tightly around your mug of hot chocolate, drumming against the handle. You came out here almost every night, deciding to just sit and enjoy the night sky, thinking about the word written on your wrist.
It was your soulmate identifying mark. It was the name of the place where you would meet your soulmate. And it was a place that didn't exist.
Anywhere.
You had done countless hours of research, poured over every inch of any information available on soulmate marks, specifically your soulmate mark.
And there was nothing.
“Do you even exist? Is this some cruel joke? There is no place in our entire galaxy named Arkanis. No place, no planet. Even if there was a planet named Arkanis, there was no reasonable way to get there.
“Am I just being messed with?” You finished your hot chocolate and stood, your empty mug held tight in your hand, blanket wrapped tightly around your shoulders.
“I hope I meet you eventually.”

“This is an incredibly dangerous mission, Commander Dameron.” General Organa looked at the holographic map that was on display in the briefing room.
“We've heard rumours of a girl from the distant and primitive planet Earth, being the soulmates of two of the ranking officers of the First Order.” General Leia had moved the map around, the planet in question was standing out against the hologram.
“We need to get to the girl first, prevent her from falling into the hands of the First Order, persuade her to help the Resistance instead of the Order.” General Organa looked back at Commander Poe as he stood with his arms crossed.
“You'll to do more than just jump into another universe, Commander Dameron. You are jumping into another universe, and by extension, into another time.” She faced him now, head on.
“This mission is dangerous by necessary. If you take it, you’ll be alone. Completely alone. If your ship break down, you will have no support. So,” she was addressing him as well as the other officers in. the briefing room.
“Do you still choose to accept the mission?” Poe had barely skipped a beat before he stepped up, speaking with confidence.
“I can do this, General Organa. I know I can.”
