Chapter 1: Chapter-1
Hello, my name is Julian Gomez Fernandez doctor in modern and contemporary history, and also an ex-military of the Spanish Army during three year, I serve in various countries during my time there, such as Latvia, Germany or Congo, the last one was definitely the worse. I also had a wonderful wive and two dogs, I left with no regrets hoping that they have a long and happy life, dying at 87 years of age give you a lot of time to think before you finally kicked the bucket. I thought of my friends, in my wife, my university life, my parents, in the it was true what they say that you're life flash before your eyes before you depart. In the end everything was worth it.

'Why can I still feel, and why is it so damn hot' with that thought in mind I try to open my eyes, and with little difficulty I manage to open them and what greet me is a surprise, and what a surprise it is, I was in the middle of a fucking desert, more exactly near an oasis, which I approach to feel the water, to make sure that this is real, but what take me aback was my appearance, compare to my previous looks, this one was youthful, full of vigor, my hair black as night in contrast to my previous blonde, at 1.78 m and green eyes. 'I appear to be around 18-19 years, this could only mean one thing, I don't know how or why, but I have a new life to live, this is absurd, impossible even, completely unscientific, my only regret now is to never see them again. But the questions still remains why me, why here and to what purpose.
'No point in thinking about let's search for useful materials or belongings of this body'
After searching a little I came across a little camp under the shade of two palms, the camp consist of a tent, a pot and a bag, without thinking to much I immediately search the bag and found a knife, probably for self-defense, a pouch with coins and dry food as well as a canteen. 'Let's check the money and see if I can recognize the verse and reverse of the coin'
After opening the pouch i threw all the coins over the floor of the tent. 'Two golden ones, three silvers and fourteen coppers, and a rare one made of bronze, I don't recognize these symbols nor this faces, which mean two things, one, I'm in a different world and not earth, or two, I'm in an historical moment that have yet to be found in the future. This limit my autonomy and my knowledge of history, but this doesn't mean that I can't put my knowledge to use. Looking at this clothes I can more or less say that I'm in a place similar to the middle East, judging from the sun I have at mots 4 hours of light to move but it's a stupid movement, first naturalize myself with this new body, second trace a plan and third, wait and see if something pops up, the dry food will last at most four days, if in two days nothing happen I will head south'
And so two days pass in blink of an eye, Julian follow a routine to naturalize his new body doing katas and basic knife fighting positions, eating one time in all day and drinking water in vast amounts to fill his reserves, and all this time he rest during the hours of extreme heat, he even dig a hole inside the tent to lower the temperature.
This continue for all this time, till today an unexpected guest arrive at the oasis, two days before he reach his deadline to leave, obviously he first observe them. 'Two men, no weapons in sight, three strange animals. Conclusion: merchants or scavengers' After reaching his conclusion he cautiously approach them with his dagger hidden from view.
"Hello, can you understand me? I am lost" Seeing their confuse faces, I tried other languages and finally they seem to understand Greek. 'I was always bad at Greek' "I lost my way in a sandstorm a few nights ago, can you tell me where the nearest city is?"
After saying this both of them explained me why they where surprise of seeing me, apparently I was in what is know as the Sea of Kashek, a deathly trap for unprepared travelers that lost their way in the dunes. They told me that at least 20 persons die there around the year, I also learn that apparently we're on the 33 year BBY. After talking some more we manage to strike a deal, they will let me travel with them in exchange for 7 of the seven copper coins, and so the next morning we depart south-west towards a city call Elpída. Apparently we are in a territory govern by several Free-Cities or Criminal Cartels, this piece of land is called ελεύθερος συνασπισμός, no idea of what it means but to them it seems important, this land has always been in the hands of poor merchant, criminal overlords and farmers. This world is definitly Tatooine but is yet to be under the full control of Jabba the Hutt. The merchant told me that I could get a ride in the city to go to Mos Espa, they also ask me what I do for a living, I only tell them that I was a soldier, they ask me from where to which I answer with planet far far away.

'Good, now I hope that my first deal isn't that far off, in Tatooine there is always a need for guns and even more if what they told me about the village is true'
After four more days we finally reach the doors of the "city", it was more like a rural village focused in raising cattle but it has walls around the perimeter.
"Σας ευχαριστούμε για τη φιλοξενία σας, Προσοχή και καλό ταξίδι" Both of them nod their heads towards as a farewell sing. "And now let's see where I can start this new adventure"
