Nor hatred.
Nor love.

A Jedi's strength flows from the force.
- The Jedi code
Prologue
" I failed you Anakin, I failed you. "
A voice broke the silence fight between two men, thereby causing an anger reply.
" I should have known that the Jedi were planning to take over! " replied Anakin Skywalker, the once Hero-With-No-Fear.
Anakin Skywalker had been a Jedi, one of their best. He had been the proclaimed Chosen One by Jedi-master Qui-Gon Jinn. He had become the Padawan of Jinn's apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
When he was a child, he had dreams. Dreams of becoming a Jedi and he would come back to free all slaves. Dreams of meeting an angel, his angel.
Her name? Padme Amidala.
He had done al this for her, to safe her from death. But once again his stupid former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, stood in his way.
He HATED that man!
" Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil! " said Obi-Wan Kenobi, still stunned that his former Padawan and best friend had turned to the darkside.
" From my point of view the Jedi are evil! "
" Then you are lost! " shouted Obi-Wan in disbelieve.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi, one of their best. He had been the master of the proclaimed Chosen One, asked by his master. He had become a Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn after been send to the Argi-corps.
When he was a child, he had dreams. Dreams of becoming a Jedi and server the will of the Force. Dreams of his knighting ceremony, of giving his master his Padawan braid. Dreams of a lovely woman. Her name? Siri Tachi.
But he hadn't could anything to safe her. Siri had died almost 2, 5 years in his arms, they had told each other of their feelings one last time.
After her death Obi-Wan stayed the Jedi role-model he always had pretended to be. Especially for his former Padawan, he had to stay strong.
But now he had to stop Anakin, what if he had really been lost like he had shouted.
The fight continued both warriors giving their very best. The winner would get all; the loser would get nothing and die.
Obi-Wan pressed his lightsaber one last time against Anakin's, causing the newly Sith to concentrate on the wrong point. Obi-Wan knew that this was a chance of the force and he wouldn't look a given Bantha in its mouth.
Obi-Wan suddenly leaped backwards and landed op a hill of gravel beside the lava river.
" It's over Anakin, I have the high ground. " It was a desperate move and it would leave the choice Anakin's. . .
How ironic. They had been master and Padawan, they had been The Team; heroes of the Galactic Republic.
Best friends, father and son even brothers.
They had been the Jedi's poster boys; they had fans shattered across the republic. They had been the best, you could praise Mace Windu because of his fighting skills, praise Yoda's wisdom, Shaak Ti's grace or Ki-Adi-Mundi's will. But they had been nothing compared the legend Kenobi-and-Skywalker had become.
Now? Now almost al of the Jedi had been murdered and were now more.
And the brothers, who had loved each other dearly, had become sworn enemies.
" You underestimate my power! " growled Anakin ready to jump.
" Don't try it "
' Please please please please please please please please please please please ' thought Obi-Wan 'Don't try it'
But Anakin did, he leaped over his former master and landed right behind him. He waited; he wanted to see Obi-Wan's face when he killed him.
Obi-Wan turned around to face his former student and Anakin stuck his lightsaber into Obi-Wan' s abdomen.
It hurtled. . . more than anything he had experienced in his life.
Not physical but mental.
The man he had raised from childhood and to knighthood was killing him in cold blood. His brother was killing him in cold blood while laughing.
Tears filled his eyes at once and he managed to whisper:
" Anakin? "
The face of the man before him was not Anakin' s…and yet it was.
" The name is Vader! " the Sith's eyes were yellow and red rimmed.
Eyes of the one who had betrayed everything he had once fought for. But they were not the same, they weren' t blue anymore.
And Obi-Wan knew he was going, while he fell backwards.
He, the Negotiator, Jedi-master and one of the Jedi-council, started to cry despite himself. Not because he was dying, never, but because he had failed.
He was a failure, always had been.
He had failed to be a good youngling, to be a good Padawan, to be a good knight and master.
Obi-Wan had failed his order
" Jedi don' t cry ' master '. " Said a cold voice from above. The tone was colder than the ice storms on Hoth.
" You never cared for me master and why should you?
Jedi don' t care and you were always the one who followed the code by letter! "
The new Sith spitted his words to his former master in anger.
Obi-Wan looked him in his eyes were a strange light began to shine.
" At least I had a mother who loved me, I have a wife who loves me and I will have a child who loves me.
And you? None loves you, your parents gave you away to the Jedi. You don' t have a wife and no children. So there will none be left to mourn when you are death! "
Obi-Wan knew that he had still one chance left, but it would take al of his energy, since he had very few left. The Jedi-master decided it was worth it, there was nothing that could safe him from death.
Meanwhile had Anakin managed to stand directly in front of Obi-Wan and the dying man knew this was the moment. He raised his arm, with much difficulty, to touch Anakin.
" What the kriffin' hell are you- " shouted the young man and everything went black.
