'I thought it was all over. After two whole months I finally thought we could go back to the Jedi Temple, my home, and rest. To finally be in Padme's arms again and feel her soft, luscious lips against my own. The battle on Dathomir had done its worst to my men and Obi-Wan nearly got killed again. But I saved his life again... I wonder how many times I have saved his life. He says it 9 but I say its 10. Speaking of Obi-Wan, I wonder what he is doing now. He is probably searching for me but I doubt he will be able to. Hell, even I have no idea where I am. I wake up to find myself shackled to a wall and- ' Anakin's thoughts were interrupted as the door of his cell creak open. Light filled the room and he squinted his eyes after being surrounded by darkness for the whole day. He blinked a couple of times before focusing his steely glare on the silhouette standing in the doorway.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The figure walked into the cell and kneeled before the captive Jedi Knight. Anakin's neck was shackled to the solid rock wall with a Force surpressing collar. His wrists chained above his head, blood trickled down his arm after failed attempts of pulling at the restraints. The person kneeled before him and stroked his cheek.
"Why am I here? Who are you?", Anakin snarled as he flinched away from the cold touch.
"I, my dear Anakin, am Mother Talzin leader of the Night Sisters of Dathomir", she continued to stroke his cheek gently.
"How do you know my name?", Anakin questioned.
"I have been watching you since the Republic arrived on Dathomir. I watched how you destroyed the seperatist droids with such power, aggression, FURY! These traits are not common amongst the Jedi but you... you have something unique within you", Talzin marvelled as she ran her bony fingers through Anakin's tousled brown hair.
Anakin snarled as she tried to move away from her touch but the collar around his neck restrained him firmly. "Well I don't care how long you have been watching me, just let me go! You should be grateful that the Republic defeated the battle droids swarming your planet. Your obviously Dathomirian and I thought the Jedi had no interest in dealing with your witch magic"
Talzin sighed, "You see, my dear Chosen One, I know the Republic's only interest was to conquer the vital outpost on this system so no I am not grateful of any Republic assistance." She began to rub down his neck." I only saw the potential within you that the Jedi aren't willing to exploit." She caressed the collar of his tunic and Anakin fought the urge to shudder at the cold touch. She sensed his distress and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, these accommodations are only temporary" her colds fingers traced his collar bone " Once, I am done with you, you will be so strong, so ruthless that not only the Jedi but that blasted traitor Dooku will fear you."
Anakin furrowed his brows in confusion, his sapphire eyes betraying his concern. "What do you mea-ARGHH!", he cried out as a hypo was roughly injected into his right thigh. Anakin's vision blurred as the burning liquid ran quickly through his bloodstream. "Good night, my dear Knight", Talzin whispered into his ear before darkness engulfed him.
Flashback
24 hours earlier
"Well that's the last of them" Obi-Wan sighed in relief as he watched his former apprentice cut down the last battle droid standing. Bodies of clones and droids littered the ground of Dathomir's red forest. "Any more droids coming our way and I would be ready to comm Master Windu and tell him to send bombers and blow everything up.", Anakin retorted as he looked back towards Obi-Wan.
The older Jedi huffed at Anakin's remark and laughed" I'm sure you would have but I doubt Master Windu will grant you that request." "Generals!" Both men looked to find Captain Rex jogging towards them. "Sirs, we have secured the planet but I am sure there are a few straggler droids running around."
"Good work, Rex. Obi-Wan, I'll search around for any more droids while you help the men set up camp" Anakin began awlking back into the forest. "I don't know Anakin, maybe you should bring a few clones with you."
Anakin laughed. "Haha, and here I thought you'd trust me to take a stroll on this lovely day. Don't worry master, I'll be fine and besides most of our men are injured, including yourself. I won't be gone for long", he reassured his old master and continued to walk into the forest.
"What am I going to do with that boy?", Obi-Wan muttered as he went to assist some injured clones.
1 hour later
Anakin Force- leaped silently from tree to tree hoping to find some droids to slash down. A crack of a branch stopped Anakin in his tracks. His hand inched towards to lightsaber clipped to his utility belt. He spanned his senses and startled back as a wild Nexu began to claw at him from below. "Well didn't see that one coming", he muttered as it began swiping its vicious claws at him. He dodged and leaped to another tree, igniting his lightsaber with a snap hiss. Suddenly, out the brush came another Nexu and tackled him to the forest floor. Anakin cried out as the Nexu bit arm and Force-pushed the creature into another tree. Both Nexus growled and began to circle him.
Anakin was about to comm Obi-Wan when he felt a small prick on the back of his neck. "Ahh- what the hell" He pulled out the small dart and recognised it was a tranquilliser. He fell unconscious to the ground and two nightsisters dropped from the trees. One of the petite yet shapely figures pet the Nexu's head and it purred at the recognition of its master. She pulled back her hood to reveal a chalk white pale face with cold grey eyes. "Look a what we have here sister, a Jedi and a very handsome one by the looks of him. What do you say we have a little play with him back at the coven?", she suggested sultrily. "As much as I would like to sister", the other hooded figure said. "We need to bring him to Mother Talzin. He may be the jedi she's been looking for."
The nightsister sighed and relented, "Fine, let's get him back to the clan." One of the Nexus hulled Anakin's limp form onto its back and the sisters rode the Nexus back to their secret coven.
End flashback
Anakin woke up to the sounds of women chanting around him. His wrists were once again chained but to a sacrificial stone slab. His torso felt cold and he realised that he wore nothing but his pants. He sat up and looked around; nightsisters sat in a circle around him holding hands and chanting in an intricate language he couldn't understand. "Ahh you're awake."
He looked off to the side to find Mother Talzin holding a small dagger in her left hand and a goblet in the other. He still felt dizzy, his body ached and his muscles burned. 'Something's not right' , he thought asTalzin walked closer and sat next to his prone form. "What did you do to me? What in Sith Hell is going on?", Anakin demanded.
"Shhh, be still and calm down. You're in transition. Your body will adjust to my spell's affect in a moment", Talzin cooed as she twirled the tip of the dagger in the glowing blue liquid of the goblet.
"Wha-what do you mean I'm in transition? Transitioning into what?"
"Well, into an enfyrite, of course. A being of Nightsister and Sith legend", Talzin said as she examined the glowing dagger's tip. "I am sure the jedi never mentioned this to you but there was once a powerful race of beings, bred for killing and hunting down Force-sensitive beings, mainly jedi.", Talzin smiled sadistically as she watched Anakin's eyes widen in horror. She continued, "Not long after the Sith Wars, the jedi hunted down all enfyrites and the race became extinct. But there was one vial containing the very last drop of enfyrite's blood which got passed down to every leading Nightsister. I just injected the blood into you and now you are in transition to become one."
Anakin was stunned. "No-th-that's not possible", he stuttered out.
"Oh but my dear Anakin, it is very true and now I will unleash the dormant enfyrite within you. You are already starting ache all around your body and in any moment your eyes will feel like they are on fire and your skin cold to the touch."
Surely enough his eyes did start to burn intensely and he groaned, pressing the palms of his hands against his eyes. His skin began to pale and he felt chills all over his body. "Perfect", Talzin whispered as she watched Anakin twist and turn on the stone slab, whimpering in pain. "Not to worry, it's all part of the transition", she whispered as she ran her fingers through his sweat drenched hair. With a snap of her fingers, the chains around Anakin's wrist tightened and he was flat against the table. He growled and struggled as she gagged his mouth with a cloth. His screams were muffled as she ran the tip of the dagger across his bare chest, carving marks onto his skin. Blood flowed from the wounds and she began to chant...
Ma tem endo na vila enfyrite
Ma tem endo na vila enfyrite
Ma tem endo na vila enfyrite
Ma tem endo na vila enfyrite
Anakin's wound began to glow and his screams intensified.
Pandora na sa let no lo enfyrite
Pandora na sa let no lo enfyrite
Pandora na sa let no lo enfyrite
"Awaken enfyrite, AWAKEN!"
Talzin held the dagger above his heart and yelled "Now die as a Jedi but reborn as a ENFYRITE"
She plunged the dagger into his heart.
