Together Again but Not The Same Chapter 1
(I don't own Starwars or anything pertaining to it)
Vader or now the redeemed Anakin Skywalker watched over his son as he spoke with his sister, he sighed and lowered his head. So many years he had missed with his children and so many more years he would not get to physically be with them. He had known that when he turned to the darkside it would come with a cost but not one as steep as he paid. He had done so much wrong when he was Darth Vader, when he was a Sith lord and he knew not one single act of good could make up for the atrocities he had committed as Vader.
Though he was one with the force now his past still tormented him, he had done them all so much wrong: Leia, Luke, Padme, Obi-wan, the council and the Jedi…he had betrayed and hurt them all so dearly. He shuttered slightly standing silently; he had been one with the force for by living standards about a week now. It was good to see Obi-wan again, he had been one of the first to greet him then the council had. They weren't mad like he thought they would be they were just glad that the reign of the Sith had finally ended.
Still even if the Jedi had forgiven him he still felt horrible to destroying them or most of them anyway but this place, this place that reradiated peace and happiness helped him. It helped ease the pain he felt, helped him push away the memories of killing so many. It was peaceful as he stood in a vast meadow surrounded by other Jedi. He took a deep breath and relaxed things here were good, light and filled with positive emotions.
He allowed himself to bask in the eternal bliss and unending comfort of the force, everything was good. The other Jedi seemed to also be enjoying themselves until the ground beneath them began to shake. Every cheerful laugh and talking ceased as the peace they were all enjoying was bombarded by intense sorrow, pain, turmoil and sadness.
Anakin gasped as part of the pasture that they were in at the far edge of a tree line suddenly withered and died. Birds and beats alike tired to flea but were caught in massive wave of suffering and fell instantly to their death. The disturbance seemed to have radiated from the opposite side of the forest.
Hushed murmurs broke out between the Jedi some saying they were afraid and others asking what would have happened if one of them had been caught in that. Anakin looked up and they sky on the opposite side of the forest darkened and lightning crackled causing some of the Jedi to jolt slightly.
For some reason the pain and sadness that radiated from the opposite side of the forest felt faintly familiar to him. Like it had come from someone he had known but he couldn't place who.
Then another wave of emotions much strong than the first slammed against the peace and harmony that every Jedi felt. More lighting scarred the sky and the ground shook harder, rain began to fall on the opposite side of the forest. Anakin covered his ears as thunder boomed, it wasn't the sound lightning normally made though, instead it sounded like a cry of pain, a cry of turmoil, a cry of sorrow.
"Obi-wan! Obi-wan what's going on?" Anakin yelled as he made his way through the mass of Jedi trying to find his friend. Anakin found him looking out at the forest stroking his bread thoughtfully. "Obi-wan what's going on?" Anakin asked looking at Obi-wan "I don't know Anakin but whatever it is it can't be good" he replied. "Could it be another Sith?" Anakin asked looking concerned at his friend. Obi-wan shook his head "I don't think so Anakin, when the Sith were still alive the force had just been clouded, dark and never did it do anything like this" Obi-wan replied.
Anakin shook his head "I don't understand, what is causing this disturbance what or who is feeling such sadness that its killing animals and the surroundings?" Anakin asked. "I don't know Anakin but whoever it is, is breaking the peace" Obi-wan replied. Another ear deafening cry of turmoil ripped through the sky "I feel…I feel like I know who is causing this…but I can't place exactly who" Anakin said thoughtfully.
Anakin turned to look at the forest again and saw that more of the pasture had withered away and died "I need to find out what's going on" Anakin said. "Anakin you don't know what's out there, non of us do" Obi-wan said. "Well I'm not going to wait around and find out" Anakin replied turning and began walking toward the forest. Obi-wan reached out and grabbed his arm "Anakin wait, lets talk to the council maybe they might sense something" Obi-wan said.
Anakin shook his head and pointed toward the forest "Who is ever causing these is also causing the area around them to die" Anakin replied. "Anakin you don't know what it could do to you" Obi-wan said. Anakin looked at him "There is no dead there is only the force" he said yanking his arm free and began heading toward the forest to see what was causing this disturbance.
