Rey gasped, and her hand slapped the rock in attempt to catch her fall. She looked around wildly, her mind trying to comprehend what she had seen. The images flashed through her mind. Too quick and overwhelming, she felt as if she were drowning-

Sensing her teacher's approach, she looked up to see a concerned Luke striding quickly toward her. Instead of helping her to her feet, however, he simply sat down beside her.

"Breathe," he said, his sky-blue eyes twinkling kindly. "Just breathe."

Nodding, Rey crept her way into a seated position, and slowed her breathing until she did not feel as if the Force was choking her, rising over her head.

"Now tell me," he said calmly. "What do you see?"

Rey closed her eyes, and the vision seemed to slow down alongside her breathing. First she saw luminous beings cast in blue. They felt like home, in an odd way. They felt like the family she'd been waiting for her entire life.

"Light," she said decisively. Then the next scene played, and hatred and vengeance washed over her, reminding her of the thought she had during her duel with Kylo Ren: Kill him. Her vision was almost completely dark except for hints of red.

"Darkness," she said, and she concentrated further. The light and the dark, mixed together in something that felt. . .

"A balance."

"It's so much bigger that," Luke said, as if coming to this realization for the first time. "The light and the dark. . . There's so much more in between."

Rey opened her eyes, and got to her feet, Luke springing up beside her surprisingly easily for a man of his age. Something still didn't feel right. She turned to the horizon. The sun was setting beautifully against the sea. It was a type of beauty Rey still hadn't gotten used to, not even after a week of the sight every evening. It wasn't anything like Jakku. The water was striking, and it attracted her in ways she couldn't explain.

She could not place what had caused her bad feeling. She turned to Luke. Never had she been more eager to learn more.

"Did I get it right?" she asked eagerly.

"You did good, Rey," he said, still frowning. "You're progressing more quickly than I thought you would."

Rey smiled. "Thank you, Master Luke-"

"Just be careful," Luke interrupted. "Because the majority of my students were able to progress at a more even rate, we were able to work out any of the control issues they might have had relating to it. Granted, all but one of my prodigies were able to keep their emotions in check as well as the urges of the dark side."

"And the one that didn't?"

Luke's blue eyes looked into hers sadly and piercingly. "You know what happened to him."

The rain fell around them, and lightning crackled in the air, thunder making the ground vibrate. Rey heard the lightsaber and she turned, to see Kylo Ren stab one of his own men. She fumbled for her lightsaber and ignited it. She held it out, waiting to see what would happen next. He marched towards her, and placed his hand around her wrist, and gently moved her lightsaber side, embracing her.

A cry escaped Rey's lips as her eyes flew open in a cold sweat. Her heart thrummed within her chest. She slowly sat up. Luke was not disturbed by her cry. Artoo rolled over to her, chirping softly.

"I'm fine, Artoo," she assured him. "It was just a bad dream."

A bad dream that, Rey had to admit, was haunting her every night. She brushed the tendrils out of her face. This dream had haunted her ever since the first time she had grasped the Skywalker lightsaber. Not for the first time, she wondered why this specific part kept coming back to her. None of the other Force visions had come back to her. Why this one?

She glanced out the window. The last week she had spent memorizing this new sky, completely different from Jakku's. A small part of her, despite how much of a hell it really was, missed the Hellhound Two and her home there. She'd waited for fourteen years for her parents to return. Letting go of that felt like walking along the cliff side of Anch-To.

"The longing you seek is ahead."

That was what Maz Kanata had told her. She glanced back at Luke. And somehow, she was right. Rey found herself belonging with Luke, in the Force and with the Jedi. She never wanted this feeling to go away.

AN: First, I'd like to note that this story is inspired by The Last Jedi trailer, somthere may be spoilers for the movie. Second, I'd like to thank the Reylo community for making this journey completely worth it.
