Prologue
"They're asking you back," Anakin had a reassuring look on his face, Ahsoka's padawan beads in his outstretched hand. "I'm asking you back."
Ahsoka felt as though the world around her was crumbling away from her, and all that remained was Anakin and herself. She stood in front of the other Jedi masters, knowing how important the decision was, to stay at the temple and become a Jedi Knight or to leave and see the path that the Force took her. Ahsoka thought about all that had happened to her, from first hearing about the bombing at the temple to being held on trial, accused of being a traitor to the Republic.
Ahsoka thought about all that she had ever known. The war. The clones. The Jedi. The Sith. The Republic. The Separatists. The Light side. The Dark side. The Force. The people she knew and had become so fiercely protective over. All of these things meant so much to her in the short time as the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker.
"Ready he is to teach an apprentice. To let go of his pupil, a greater challenge it will be. Master this, Skywalker must." Ahsoka had heard Master Yoda say that to Master Obi-wan and now, she finally understood the true meaning of that
Anakin Skywalker had to let his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, go. He had to let her move on with life.
Ahsoka meet Anakin's gaze and slowly reached out her hand to his. Taking a deep breath, she closed his hand over the beads that had once marked Ahsoka as his apprentice.
"I'm sorry, Master," she said, doing her best not to break down, "but I'm not coming back."
With that, she walked out of the temple, not wanting to look back, but wanting to look forwards and onwards at the life that she could have by herself.
Without the Republic.
Without corruption.
Without the Jedi
Author's Note
Hi y'all! This is my first ever fan fic, so please don't give up due to a short chapter or a flaw in the writing! I will try to update as soon as I can, it all depends on how I am feeling or how much studying I have to do. I don't know how long this will be for but I do know that I am trying to keep things in cannon as much as I can. Sorry if some of the characters in the later chapters seem a bit OOC. This is a fan fic. Please comment on any ideas or things that can be changed! I love feed back! I'm also posting the first chapter with the prologue.
See ya!
