"She's a Jedi Master, and her name is.." Ahsoka says, only stopping when The Cursed One raises her hand.
"STOP! Don't say it!" The Cursed One says angrily.
"What's the problem? It doesn't start with Darth, does it?" Kanan asks, a smile on his face.
Imagine that! A Jedi Knight with a sense of humor! The Cursed One thought to herself, barely suppressing a laugh. She then said "Yes, I did have a name, long ago, but it no longer has any meaning for me." The Cursed One pauses, fighting back tears. "When I used that name, I had friends, and...a family. I have none of that now, and...don't deserve that name."
Ahsoka approaches The Cursed One, and embraces her, saying " I understand your pain. I've... lost people too."
At last, someone who understands! You are a special one, Ahsoka Tano. Much like me in some ways. You have no need for petty labels, or narrow minded religions. The Cursed One thought as she returned the embrace, then said "Thank you, Ahsoka Tano."
The Cursed One and Ahsoka break from their embrace, and The Cursed One said "Ahsoka, before you leave, I have something to show you. May I link minds with you?"
"Of course" Ahsoka said.
The Cursed One touched Ahsoka's forehead with one finger, and began to show her images of her past, centuries worth of knowledge, downloaded into Ahsoka's mind within seconds, much like transferring data from a computer terminal. The knowledge overwhelmed Ahsoka, and she struggled to remain standing, even as the Cursed One terminated the link.
"Thank you. I understand now." Ahsoka said, as her two Jedi friends helped her to a nearby rock to sit down.
Kanan approached The Cursed One, and asked "What did you show her?"
"The past, and the future. Nothing, and everything." The Cursed One said.
"Well, that clears up everything. Real helpful!" Kanan said.
Infernal jackass! The Cursed One thought, before saying "I will only say that her destiny is different than yours Caleb Dume."
"What? You...know...my real name?" Kanan asks.
"Of course I know! I see all that the force allows me to see!" The Cursed One said, slightly irritated, then continued "The Jedi and the Sith are in conflict, as they have always been, and will always be, until both are no more. Ahsoka is neither Jedi, nor Sith. She has no place in this conflict, and her purpose is elsewhere."
"I'm not sure I understand." Kanan said.
"I don't expect you to, but you will someday. Now, it's time for you to leave this place. I will deal with Vader." The Cursed One said.
Kanan and Ezra head toward their ship. Ahsoka, now recovered, approached The Cursed One, and embraced her again. "I will not kill him, Ahsoka. I promise. Now, go." The Cursed One said.
Ahsoka and the Jedi left Malchor, and The Cursed One released Vader from his stasis.
"Give me the holocron from the temple. We do not need to be adversaries." Vader said.
"Very well. I have no use for it anyway." The Cursed One said, as she retrieved a Sith Holocron from her cloak. I'll give him one of my Sith Holocrons, not the one from the temple. I will never give Kreia's holocron to anyone. It's too dangerous! She thought as she handed the holocron to Vader.
Vader left Malachor, believing that he had acquired his prize. The Cursed One left that world as well, and stayed out of the Galactic Civil War, which was a new name for the same war fought countless times over the centuries. Ahsoka would soon part ways with her Jedi friends, and would completely withdraw from the conflict. She had a far greater purpose, and she understood what that was.
Although The Cursed One stayed out of the war, her actions on Malachor affected it significantly, as Kanan Jarrus was able to live to see Ezra Bridger knighted by Yoda, and would later train Luke Skywalker, the son of Darth Vader.
The sith eventually met their end at the hands of Luke, and Anakin Skywalker, who found redemption in his last moments. The leaderless Empire collapsed not long after, and the Republic came into existence once more.
By this point, Yoda had passed away, but he wasn't really gone, as he had mastered the ability to appear from beyond in spirit form. The Cursed One was happy for him, for he had become a true master of the force, and had learned from his past mistakes.
As the republic was reborn, the jedi grew in number, under the leadership of Grandmaster Kanan Jarrus, who established a new training academy on Yavin 4, in the former Rebel Base. Among his new Jedi Council, were Jedi Masters Ezra Bridger, and Luke Skywalker.
