Description:

The prophecy had been passed down from generation to generation in those lands for so long its origins had long since faded from people's memories. As is usually the case with prophecies, however, it hardly mattered. They still came as naturally to people's lips as a wise old saying or a nursery rhyme - the verses that spoke of hope, of twin suns rising in the horizon, and of the peace and balance they’d bring to the kingdom of Naboo when they finally aligned. For centuries, maybe for millenia, people turned their eyes towards the sky, waiting for the arrival of the prophesized stars.

They never came.

As the years went by, prophecy became fable, fable became fiction and fiction fell into oblivion, so much so that people stopped staring at the sky altogether.

Maybe their eyes should have been turned towards the ground, where the wheels of fate seemed determined to tangle the lives of a lonely scavenger and a lonely prince.
