Chapter 1: Child of Dathomir

On the distant planet of Dathomir, Mother Talzin watched as, for the first time, twins were born. They were an unusual pair because they were almost identical, they had the same skin patterns and color. The only differences between them was one was female and the other male; the female had black hair grow from her head while the male sported horns. If the two had been of the same gender then you wouldn't be able to them apart.

Mother Tousan approached the sister who just gave birth, "you know what must be done, sister" she said. "Yes, I do mother. I just wish I could spend more time with them" the sister said, calmly. Even though she didn't want to give up the children, she knew she had to in order to protect the clan. "They will find their way back to us, children of our clan always have" Mother Talzin said.

Two weeks later, the twins were carried off; one went to Tatooine and the other went with a being known as Darth Sidious. "Farewell little ones, our little Melay, you will come home again" the sister said. It was common for Dathomir witches to give up their children to ensure the protection of their clan, but what they didn't know was that the twins were going to go face to face defending two different sides.

Two years later…

(Melay's POV)

I am a Jedi youngling and my master tells me that I am skilled beyond my years, but not yet old enough to become a padawan learner. I worked hard to reach my goals and the day finally came for me to become a padawan. "Melay, join me on the platform will you" Master Yoda said. I walked to the platform and greeted him, "greetings Master" I said, calmly. "Youngling, now you are becoming a padawan" he said testing me, "yes, Master" I answered, remaining calm. The first rule of the Jedi is to never let your emotion take over, as Master Yoda said fear leads to aggression, aggression leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.

I was assigned a teacher, Qui Gon Jinn; he said he could tell that I would be a good knight when the time came, "thank you Master" I said and we walked to the loading dock.

Sixteen years later…

Ever since I became a knight, strange things have been happening around me. First it was droids deliberately missing me in battle then the nightmares started. It was always the same, I'm on a planet called Dathomir and a woman is talking to me telling me to come home, but I don't know what she is talking about. These dreams have been coming more and more lately, but I don't let them interfere with my missions.

Today I was assigned an undercover mission on Naboo, I was assigned to go undercover as a singer and search the crowds for a sith lord named Count Dooku. He used to be a night, but he crossed over to the dark side and became Darth Tyrannous. I was excited about my mission, but didn't show it. "Mel" my master called, "yes master" I said. "Remember, it is important that you find and capture Dooku" he said, "I know master and I will not fail you" I said. "I know you will make us proud" he said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

The next day I was packed and headed for the hanger, thinking about my mission. I boarded a registered shuttle to Naboo and my identity as a singer had been taken care of. As the shuttle departed I couldn't help but think of the strange dream I had the night before, but I decided to put that aside for now.

Upon arriving on Naboo, a crowd had formed in the docking hanger, they were expecting me. Word had gotten out that a singer was coming to Naboo and it seemed like the whole planet came out to see me. Knowing that I was undercover, I played along. "How is everyone doing?" I asked, the crowd cheered and I couldn't understand a word any of them said.

Naboo was the most beautiful planet I had seen in my life; I never thought I would see something so pretty. I was escorted to my quarters in the palace where I met Queen Amedala. I was given a lovely room with a balcony over the waterfall, of course I was a bit nervous about this mission but I knew it had to be done. I stood on the balcony and watch the sunset and afterwards crawled into bed and fell asleep.

~Dream~

I heard someone in the room speaking to another, they sounded oddly familiar, but I couldn't place them. "She's grown up" one voice said. "Yes, she has and she will come home soon and her brother will one day" another voice said, sounding as if the there was an echo. I didn't know who they were talking about, but I didn't like it, I chanced a peak at the beings in the room only to see I wasn't in my room, or even on Naboo, anymore.

I was lying on a stone slab in, what looked like, a cave. There were two women standing around me and when they noticed I was awake, they smiled. I tried to get up and move away, but I couldn't move any part of my body except my head. "I see you are awake, Melay" the older looking woman said, "How do you know my name?" I asked, stunned. "My dear child, you should know your birthplace" she said. I opened my mouth to say something, but I was cut off by an invisible force. "Now, you shall come home to us" she said, creating a green ball of light. I looked away to keep it from blinding me. "You shall come home today and your brother shall return another day" she said, bringing the ball of light to my face. I tried not to look at it, but I felt like I had to, but before I gave in I force myself awake

~End Dream~

I woke with a start, but I was thankful it was morning. That was the most realistic dream I've had in weeks. The older woman in the in the robes was oddly familiar, but I still couldn't place it.

Elsewhere on a separatist cruiser…

"Now you will do this exercise again until it is perfect" a dark voice said.

"Yes master" a worn out voice panted.

The young sixteen year old boy charged his master again, as instructed, only to be launched across the room. The boy was getting furious and impatient. He got back up and charged, but didn't get two feet before he was brought down.

"Pathetic" the dark voice chuckled.

"I HATE you!" the boy screamed.

"Good" the dark voice said.
