Notes: I have had this idea in mind for ages but only now have I had an idea for how to start it. I also wonder what all you guys out there thought of AOTC?
The Questioner
Fireweilder
Night had quickly turned against them once again. No words could help them now. Could the prophecy really be possessed inside this small boy? But now he wasn't small. It was impossible to question weather they were wrong now. But lately, something has disturbed each of them. According to Obi- Wan's word, Anakin had nearly turned against them. His love…but every Jedi know well their duties. Love can not be allowed to pull attention from the power of the force
But… so many reasons to say contradictions now. Mace looked up at Obi- Wan sitting across from him in the council chambers. This problem was one of the whole Jedi council so all were present to decide Anakin's fate again. Obi- Wan refused to return Mace's gaze though it pierced through his thoughts like a shaft of light that now blinded this hastily opened eyes. As they adjusted to the light, he instead turned to the small figure of Yoda. He hated to disturbed him but he had to know.
"Master Yoda, I do not see why we insist that Anakin go not told about this. Should he not know what happens when he is not summoned to hear his fate?" he questioned, rousing Yoda out of his thoughts
"What do you think your apprentice needs hear, when nothing yet spoken has?" he replied still not giving Obi- Wan the answer he needed to hear
"But surely you do not think that he should be expelled from he order, not now" he pressed, hoping for a better answer.
"Your news has sent a great disruption here, Obi- Wan, how do you think this tale shall end?" asked Mace Windu, standing and walking toward the window looking down from the Jedi chambers. Even now he knew Anakin was preparing to leave to see the Senator back home.
"The boy was foolish masters," he replied standing up o move to Mace's side, "but forgiveness must be allowed."
"No point in forgiving, if wishes he not." Said Yoda still looking from Mace to the rest of the council. All of them lowered their heads, answering yes to the unspoken question. Obi- Wan sensed it from the council and turned to hear his fate. But still no one spoke o him, or was ready to explain to him what was to happen.
Finally Yoda stood and turned to Obi- Wan. "Tested by Q will he be," he said sighing and bowing his head in sadness.
Q?
"Masters? What is Q?" he asked, not really knowing what to be said
"Of course you would not remember Obi- Wan, but Q has been here as long as Yoda has stood as Jedi. Her tale… her tale leads back to the darkness that consumed her. Long and hard it has been. But she has uses we here have not heart to proceed with."
Mace turned to the council as all of them stood silently. With one swift motion, all the lightsabers were ignited and placed on the ground pointing to the circle center of the chamber. Only Yoda dared to move. A chill of darkness covered them all and Obi- Wan felt his sides press with fear and corruption. He trembled and fell to the floor, cold and near lifeless ness. Then Yoda's voice tore through him saying, "The Question and Questioner, we call. Come Dark one."
The air contacted against the walls and the sun suddenly refused all light. A great cry went up around them, a scream of many sounds, a scream then silence. The darkness crept from the outside to cover all light, even the light from the weapons, till darkness was.
Then as suddenly as the terror had started, it left. But still it hung in the air as some cloud. Obi- Wan now stood and faced with great anger, Q.
Q was a woman, black as the night that had passed though a light contrasting with its self. She seemed to breathe from the air that hung above her as she opened her eyes. She seemed to have none, jus black pits, the sky but still void of the stars. Immediately they found him and he felt rage build from this heart and race through his mind. With a mighty shout, Obi- Wan light his light saber and ran at her. He felt his saber sweep down to her long slender neck when he was thrown back. Crashing against the wall, he still caught himself from sliding down to the floor. Looking through the rage that clouded his eyes, he saw her standing as she had been, but with an ignited black saber by the side of her face where she had blocked Obi- Wan's blow.
She advanced on him now, placing the saber close to his cheek. He felt a great fire burning from his face and shooting down his body. He screamed out in pain, until he heard Yoda shout "Enough! One is tested only one time!"
The pain stopped and Obi- Wan was able to stand straight and dare to look back through her eyes. Hard it was to hold her glance for long but he didn't feel the same rage he had but instead simple fear from the starless sky he looked into.
She turned from him to face the rest of the council. All looked down as to avoid her gaze. Even Master Yoda seemed to fear her. Softly yet with great discord she spoke.
"What calls me to Darkness, Masters of Light?"
