Prologue

I woke to the sound of total silence and that's when I felt the present in the Force, that the dark one had faded away.

And the present that I haven't felt in about twenty four years came back strong in the force. My Jedi Knight was truly back.

Getting up from my bed I went over to my over chair picked up my robe and slipped it on before walking out onto the veranda and just stood there watching the waterfall.

" Milady, I have great news, the Emperor is dead." Luannda came outside with the small tray.

" Yes I know, and he did it." I said as I felt total calmness go through my body.

" Um... the Chosen One... but how can that be, he's been dead for over twenty years." Luannda said.

" That's what we all thought...but it's not true he has been alive this whole time and he has returned to the light side." I said coming over to the small table and chairs.

" What do you mean by that, because we had been total that he died on Mustafar." Luannda said.

" That's what we were meant to believe, but that's all a lie, but then again maybe the Chosen One did die when he fell to the dark side, but I knew deep down he was never dead." I poured my tea into the cup.

" Ok now am confuse... they said he died then, but you sound like he just died today." Luannda said sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea.

" Well in away he did die, that's because he chose to fall to the dark side and we lost him, but I don't know, how but he is now free from the dark side, but it may have came with a price." I sat back and watched a couple of swans swim by.

" I heard that it was the Emperor's right hand man and the terror of the galaxy, that killed him." Luannda said as the reality of everything was becoming clear to her.

" Yes he did kill him, but not as his apprentice but as the Chosen One." I felt tears well in my eyes.

" Oh my... Darth Vader was ..." was all Luannda said as she almost choked on her tea.

" Yes... Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker and he is back." I said.

The door opened up and my four year old daughter came running up to me.

" Mommy! Mommy! Daddy is coming home." she said as she was climbing into my lap.

" Yes sweetie daddy will be coming home." I smiled down at the little girl sitting in my lap.

I looked at her, I saw the little boy that I had fallen in love with all those years ago, and the I began to remember the first day when I met Anakin Skywalker.
