Ezra's POV:

After I ended the conversation I walked towards my old friend who lives not far from the city. I knocked on her door and waited till she opened.

"Who's there?" A female voice said.

"Me. Ezra."

The door opened and it revealed a female Mirialan.

"Ezra. Come in."

I walked inside and sat down on the ground where she usually meditates. She sat in front of me.

"What is the reason you're here? Normally you visit me in the morning? Why not now?" She asked

"I need your advice..."

"Advice about what?"

"The Rebels asked me to join the Rebellion... and I don't know if I have to go or not."

"When do you have to give your answer?"

"Tonight. If I go to their ship I leave with them, if I don't come they know my answer is no."

"Do you want to go?"

"Yes... but I don't know if... well..."

"If you can trust them?"

I looked in her blue eyes and nodded. She knows me too well...

"What do you think?" I asked.

"I think that you can trust them. They are good people and as far as I know, some of my old friends are with those Rebels too."

"Like who?" I said with wide eyes.

"Like Ahsoka. I told you about her in the past, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did. Then I can tell her about you!" I said enthusiastic.

"No, Ezra. Ahsoka hates me. She doesn't know my reasons."

"Then I can tell those reasons! You can join too! Then I know that I can trust at least someone." I said while giving a small smile.

"I can't, Ezra. But you can. The Rebels are a group, a crew, in some ways a family. You will be happy with them. Trust me. Go."

I looked at the female with big eyes.

"And yes, I'm serious." She continued.

I moved forward and hugged her.

"Thank you, Barriss."

"You're welcome, Ezra. Now, go. Before they leave without you!"

I waved at her and left. I ran towards my tower to grab my stuff. And looked for the last time at my 'home'. In the distance you could see the city and on the right, you could see a lonely house, Barriss' house.

"Am I making the right decision?"

I looked again and then turned around to see the Rebels' ship.

"I guess the answer is yes."

I smiled and walked towards the ship.

My life will change now... Is this what my parents wanted? Am I going to fail? No. I don't fail anymore. I am not Arze!

I reached the ship and the twi'lek was waiting outside with the leader.

"Are you ready?"

"I am Ezra Bridger. I am always ready."

The twi'lek grabbed my hand and the leader laid his arm on my shoulders taking me in a sideways hug when we walked aboard the ship. The ship closed and we took off.

Today was a new day. A new beginning... And my new beginning started with the words I wouldn't dare to say some days ago.

"I am Ezra Bridger. "
