Birth
On the planet Shili, a Togruta man Nak-il announces the birth of his newborn daughter Ahsoka Tano to his village in Togruti. As the villagers gather, Pav-ti nurses her newborn daughter. She smiles proudly as the village chief Gantika approaches. Pav-ti names her daughter Ahsoka.

Mother and daughter
A year passes and Ahsoka grows into a toddler. Later, a droid helps Nak-il to lay tiles on the roof of their family home. Pav-ti carries her infant daughter in a baby carrier. Nak-il asks if she is sure that Ahsoka is ready and questions the need to follow tradition. Pav-ti replies that they are following customs and warns Nak-il not to insult the spirits, trees, and ancestors. Before leaving, Pav-ti fetches a hunting rifle. Nak-il wishes his wife and daughter farewell before they leave for the hunt.

While walking through the village, Pav-ti and Ahsoka pass by Gantika, who is feeding several tookas. After confirming that over a year has passed, Gantika paints a speck of blue paint on both Tano and Pav-ti’s forehead while uttering a blessing. Mother and daughter then depart for the forest as Gantika continues feeding the tookas.

The hunt
While Pav-ti walks through the forest, Ahsoka notices a squirrel navigating through the branches. As insects whistle in the background of the lush forest, Pav-ti tells her daughter that they are surrounded by life and to honor it. Pav-ti also walks past several plants with large white seedheads and disperses their pollen through the forest with her rifle. The young Ahsoka giggles with joy until her mother shushes her. They hear several kybucks braying the background.

Pav-ti and her daughter approach a forest clearing where they see several kybucks chomping on grass. Pav-ti takes position behind a tree and aims her rifle at the kybucks. As she fires her rifle, Gantika utters a prayer back in the village. With Ahsoka, Pav-ti approaches the kybuck which she shot. The animal is wounded and dying. Ahsoka is upset but her mother tells her that she must face death and not be upset by it. As the kybuck breathes its last, Pav-ti utters a prayer before slicing the creature’s throat. Gantika senses the passing of the kybuck back in the village.

The Sabertooth
Meanwhile, Pav-ti tells Ahsoka that the male kybuck she killed will feed many mouths. While Pav-ti talks about carrying the kybuck back to the village, a Sabertooth watches them from behind the thick grass. As Ahsoka coos, the sabertooth approaches them from behind. Pav-ti reaches for her rifle and roars loudly at the sabertooth. She fights the sabertooth with her rifle but is outmatched by the larger feline beast. Pav-ti manages to fire a gunshot, which alerts her husband Nak-il. Several dogs also bark.

With her rifle damaged, Pav-ti fights back with a knife. Several villagers including Nak-il race towards the forest clearing. Following a struggle, the sabertooth knocks out Pav-ti with a strike of its paw. Though the villagers arrive, they are unable to stop the sabertooth from carrying the toddler Ahsoka away into the forest. Pav-ti cries out in despair. Nak-il attempts to comforts his wife. Meanwhile, Gantika clutches a talisman and chants a prayer.

Ahsoka’s miracle
In the depths of the forest, the sabertooth carries Ahsoka to its nest among several tree roots. The big cat licks it wounds and is initially hostile towards Ahsoka. Before the creature can touch Ahsoka, the toddler touches its nose gently, causing it to reconsider. Back at the village, several Togruta villagers including Nak-il gather with weapons to search for Ahsoka. Before they can depart into the night, the sabertooth returns.

The villagers are about to shoot the creature but Gantika convinces them to wait. As the sabertooth exits the forest clearing into the light, the villagers realize that Ahsoka is riding on the creature’s back. The villagers are relieved and amazed that the toddler survived unharmed. The sabertooth bows its head, allowing Pav-ti to pick up her daughter. Pav-Ti thanks the creature in the Togruti language before allowing the sabertooth to return to the forest. Nak-il also embraces his daughter and wife. When Pav-ti asks Gantika how Ahsoka survived, Gantika replies that Ahsoka is a Jedi.
