Epilogue

How many times had he come to this chamber? This chamber high in one of the towers. High enough that he could see a good chunk of Coruscant laid out before him through the windows. It was as familiar to him as his own quarters.

It was to this chamber he had come as a Padawan, frustrated and struggling to understand the darker side of his Master. Hoping that his Master's Master might be able to explain away his actions. It was to this chamber he had come as a Master, struggling himself to live up to the expectations and near hero-worship. He still didn't understand how Obi-Wan had turned out as well as he did. Now it was to this chamber that Qui-Gon came; not just as a Master, but as a father. His questions were not just about training these days, but also about being a parent.

It was in a way ironic that he was coming to the Grand Master of the Jedi Order with concerns about parenting when the Master himself was not a parent. In fact Qui-Gon was the first Jedi to openly be a parent since the creation of the current Code.

"Troubled you are yes? Something wrong with one of my great-grandchildren is there?" Qui-Gon turned from the view he had been studying and smiled crookedly at the small green Jedi who was seated on his meditation cushion.

"So now Ani and Ana are your great-grandchildren Master?"

"What else be should they?" Yoda chuckled, patting his gimer stick that lay across his lap. "Spend more time with them I should."

"That would make me your grandson Master and Master Dooku your son..." Qui-Gon trailed off and turned back to the window. "The twins are well. They are slowly becoming more social. Spending time with Aayla and Ahsoka is helping." He laid a hand against the window. "While they do not like the idea, they have spoken to Obi-Wan and I about doing missions that take them away from each other. Ani has begun more advanced lessons in flying and mechanics while Che has started to give Ana lessons in Force Healing."

"Hmmm...lessons from me they should receive. Teach them about the different sides of the Force I will."

"They will like that Master Grand-Da" Qui-Gon teased the Master. "Obi-Wan has been teaching Ani what he can about the Unifying Force while I have been working with Ana on the Living Force, but they learn so fast..."

Yoda leaned forward a little. "Not about the twins though this visit about hmmm? Sense this I do." Qui-Gon sighed and turned from the window. He crossed the room to take a seat on the cushion across from Yoda.

"Ana told me something." He stared down at his hands. "Something about the kidnapping from last year."

"Felt I have that not whole story she told us. Reason I believe she had to keep such a secret."

"She did...She didn't want to hurt me or anger the Council." Yoda snorted.

"Analise anger the Council? Believe that I do not. Sweet and gentle my great-granddaughter is." Qui-Gon chuckled. Yoda seemed very determined to step into the role of great-grandfather with the twins. A frown returned to his face as he remembered what he had to say.

"This just might. Remember in the report Ana mentioned a man named Tyranus?" Yoda nodded. "He told her something when he took her, something that worried her enough to keep in secret. Before telling me, she only told Ani and then Aayla. They were the ones who told her she needed to tell me."

Qui-Gon braced himself, knowing that what he would say would hit Yoda hard. "Tyranus told Ana he was my former Master. When she told me about it on our way home from Illum, I didn't want to believe her. I showed her an image on my datapad of Master Dooku. She said it was him. That it was Tyranus." He hung his head, hair sweeping forward to drape on either side of his face.

"Is it possible that my former Master has become a Sith?" Yoda sighed. He could feel the longing coming from Qui-Gon for Yoda to say no, that there was no way Dooku would turn to the Sith. The fear that the answer was yes.

"Wish I could say that surprising this news is, but I cannot." He ran callused claws over his stick, studying the worn wood. "Always Darkness lurked inside my former Padawan. Wanting more, he always was."

"But Darkness lurks inside Ani!" the words burst out of Qui-Gon as the Grey Jedi Master jumped to his feet and began pacing. "None of us are expecting Ani to turn to the Sith. What's the difference between him and Master Dooku?"

"Yes, there is. Needed though, that Darkness inside Anakin is. The Sun Anakin is. Need that Darkness he will to battle the Sith. Balanced between light and dark must he be to win." Eyes watched the man as he paced. "Consumed by Darkness my great-grandson will be not. Not so long as Sun and Moon together are. Dooku..." Yoda sighed sadly. "Dooku not a Jedi meant to be. Crave power Jedi do not. Crave power he did. What does the Force tell you?"

Qui-Gon returned to the window where he could watch the sun as it set over Coruscant. "The Force...it tells me that Ana is right. That my old Master has embraced the way of the Sith." His fists clenched tightly. "That he would think nothing of torturing, of killing my daughter if that was what his Master wished."

"Wondering you do what this means?"

"I don't need to wonder Master. Ana will be the target of the Sith. They will always be after her any chance they can get. I can only wonder when their next attack will come."

"Strong my great-granddaughter is. A fighter. After all a Skywalker she is." Yoda chuckled and Qui-Gon joined in a little.

"Yes Ana is a Skywalker, but she's also to a certain extent a Jinn."

Yoda chuckled. "Then twice as strong my great-granddaughter is. Worry not about the future Qui-Gon, worry about the present."
