Heyyy it's me again, I hope you didn't miss me much this time ahahahaha
So, before beginning the chapter there are things I would like to mention which are vital for the progression of the story. To be honest I have been dropping hints about this very plot twist and foreshadowing it since the first chapter but I won't explain it right away. It's actually a pretty big turning point for the story but you will know everything when the right time comes trust me (: in short there are things that I have changed from the main storyline of the prequels, I mean from the third movie so don't be surprised when you read things that are actually not in the original storyline of the Star Wars.
After leaving the room, Alexia went to her cell –to meditate. She threw the clothes she wore into the laundry basket, and then she put on a purple, cotton bralette and black, cotton shorts. Sitting on her bed cross-legged, she placed her hands on the sides of her knees, taking the usual meditation position.
While inhaling deeply, Alexia closed her eyes and allowed her body to relax. The feeling of the soft mattress against her bare legs, the way the cool air in the room licked her bare stomach –she tried to sense them all. When she was aware of all the sensations her body was feeling, she directed her attention to her mind. Clearing every other thought from her mind, she only focused on the moment she was living in right now. She let it all go –the worries, the horrors, the love, the tension, the passion...
At the peak of her focus, she felt herself lifting up from the bed –she was floating in the air. As she felt the Force circling her getting stronger with every passing minute, she focused on the presences of all the Jedi that had walked on this galaxy.
"Be with me," she whispered while trying the reach them "Be with me."
We have never left you.
We were always by your side, waiting for you to reach us.
"Thank you," Alexia whispered as she directed her focus to one specific Jedi "Be with me, please. Right now, I need your guidance more than ever."
She waited for a while but there was no response. Inhaling deeply, Alexia tried focusing harder "Be with me."
"Maybe I can help you."
Upon hearing her voice after all those year, Alexia nearly lost her connection to the Force. After restraining her excitement, she opened her eyes, which were already blurry with tears.
"Mom?" she asked, still floating in the air.
A smile appeared on the lips of the blue eyed Force-ghost which was standing in front of Alexia. Her light brown, wavy hair was reaching her waist. She was wearing a white dress and looked like an angel with a blue glow "Alexia, my baby, look what a beautiful and powerful young woman you've become." her mother said. Then she closed her eyes for a minute. The next she was floating in the air just like Alexia was "I have been watching you for all this time, waiting for you to reach me."
Alexia wiped away the tears "I have waited for the right moment, I wasn't strong enough before."
Her mother nodded "I know, sweetheart. What is it that you're in need of?" she asked.
Alexia took a deep breath "In fact I wanted to reach grandma, I know she has the best guidance that I can be given."
"It is about him, then." her mother said slowly "What does he call himself now? Kylo Ren?"
Alexia nodded as she looked into her mother blue eyes, which had a different shade than her sapphire ones "I do not know what to do, mom. I... I am falling for him. I don't know how and since when but it happened somehow. He is feeling something too, I know it and he accepts it as well."
Her mother finished Alexia's word "But you do not know how to approach him because he has a complicated and twisted personality."
"Should I try turning him or leave him be? Or will he try to turn me? I have no goddamn idea but I know one thing for sure: I will never side with him on the battleground if it is the First Order against the Resistance." Alexia said as her mother smiled "Being a rebel is in my blood and you know it better than anyone that under no circumstances I will fight for the people who killed my dad."
She flipped her light brown hair "But this means you will have to betray Ren at some point, doesn't it sweetheart?" she asked.
Alexia bit her lower lip "Yes, it does. At some point, I will have to choose between my love and my loyalty. I just wish that somehow I could turn him to the man he used to be."
Her mother shook her head slowly "I doubt that, Alexia. As far as I have seen and heard, he is far too gone. Especially after..."
"After murdering his father, yeah, I know. But he couldn't handle the burden of having the blood of his father on his hands the way he thought he would. He is being torn apart, mom, and I feel that deep down, he regrets what he has done. Behind the walls he built using the Dark Side with the name Kylo Ren, he is in fact just hurt. But I can help him find his humanity." Alexia spoke with excitement. It was as if she had been thinking about this for quite a while.
"Sweetheart, I can understand you but what if he rejects your help? What if he is happy hiding behind that monstrous helmet of his? You cannot force someone to change."
Alexia took a deep breath "I know, mom. We shall see. I just... Everything is overmuch complicated between us. I need to speak with grandma."
Her mother tilted her head "It will be your first encounter with her, right? As I recall, she has never visited us when you were a kid."
Alexia nodded, her black curls swinging "Yes, I have only seen her from the photos you've shown." she explained.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Alexia's mother's face "I haven't contacted her lately but I suggest you try reaching for her once more. Just not right now, she might be somewhere else." she said as she began to fade away "Do not forget, sweetheart, that I'll always be there when you need me."
"I won't, mom." Alexia muttered while she descended onto her bed "I won't."
(Time Skip)
It was not long after Alexia's connection with her mother's Force-ghost when she felt a disturbance in the Force –something was not right in the air that surrounded her room. She could feel it in her head while she lied on her bed as she watched the ceiling, she still had the bralette and the shorts she wore earlier.
As the disturbance in the Force grew stronger, Alexia frowned and sat on her bed but she definitely was not expecting to see him in the middle of her cell. He had his full armour on him except his mask and his back was facing her. As the disturbance in the Force caused him to turn back to see her, Alexia raised an eyebrow.
"You can teleport into my cell now?" she asked in a mocking way but in fact she really did not know how the hell he had got into the cell without making her notice –she didn't even hear the door open.
"You are the one appearing on my bed, Alexia." Kylo Ren responded.
The confusion in Alexia grew as she stood up "No, I certainly am not. I was sitting on my own bed."
Kylo frowned while he took a step towards the half-naked girl "So you say that you are not physically here with me in my chambers?"
Alexia nodded "Yeah and it appears to me that you are not physically with me in my cell either." she muttered "What is happening then?"
Kylo ran his glowed hand through his black curls "I guess it is the Force connecting us –did you feel the disturbance before seeing me in your cell?" he asked. Alexia nodded again "But why us? And why now? It does not make sense."
"Is it like Force-projecting?" Alexia asked "I mean can I touch you?"
"Well, there is only one way to find out," Kylo responded as his brown eyes wandered on her body, which made Alexia remember what she was wearing and her cheeks turned to a lighter shade of pink. She took a few steps towards him and took a deep breath before touching his gloved hand. It felt as usual, as if he was standing right in front of her.
"If you hadn't told me that you were in your chambers, I could have believed that you were indeed here in front of me." Alexia spoke as she pulled her hand back "Is this something natural?"
Kylo thought for a while "I doubt it, I have never heard a Force-connection of this kind occurring on its own. Let's wait for the next time –maybe this is something for just one time." He took his helmet from somewhere Alexia couldn't see "I need to go."
And with that, the disturbance she felt vanished, along with Kylo.

After eating dinner with Lyonsse and Jai, who were bombing Alexia with a thousand questions about her meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke, she went back to her cell and spent the rest of her night meditating in order to strengthen her bond with her grandmother, whom she knew only from the stories her mother had told her, through the Force. She thought about the orphaned girl who had fought in the Clone Wars along with her master Mace Windu, a Jedi legend. After Windu's assassination, the orphaned girl was assigned to a new master –to Anakin Skywalker, who later became the biggest catastrophe the galaxy has ever seen.
"Be with me." Alexia whispered, once more she was floating in the air cross-legged "Be with me,"
Such patience you have within, young Gradval. Such that my apprentice had never possessed.
"Master Windu?" Alexia asked without opening her eyes, he was not present in the room with her "Why can't I reach her?"
You do reach her, Gradval. She has been busy dealing with somebody else but she should be here soon. Your determination amused us all.
A small smile found its way to Alexia's lips "Thank you, Master Windu. May I ask for your wisdom before you leave?"
Light and Dark are not two entirely opposite poles –they complete each other. Hence, one cannot simply be Light or Dark –we all have both sides within ourselves but we stand on the different parts of the spectrum. What defines us is the path which we take on that spectrum.
With that, Mace Windu's voice in Alexia's mind disappeared. But soon, his absence was filled by a different presence, which Alexia had not felt before. The foreign aura she felt resembled Alexia a darker shade of purple, just like her own. However, it was much, much stronger than any other aura she had felt so far –even stronger than of Snoke's.
As Alexia slowly opened her eyes, she saw a woman in grey Jedi robes. Her curly hair was reaching her shoulders, which had a darker shade of purple just like her aura. Her almond-shaped, grey eyes were shaded by long eyelashes. She was tall, even taller than Alexia and she had a blue glow, as expected.
"Finally, it's time I met my grand-daughter." Morgana Spacehunter said as she smiled softly "Your mother told me so much about you, Alexia."
Taking a deep breath not to lose her concentration, Alexia spoke "I've waited so long for this moment to come." she whispered "You've been a legend to me."
"And you want to ask for a legend's wisdom, as I see. A legend that has failed to walk the path of the Jedi. I am certain you know the story –how I was blinded by love and therefore could not foresee the catastrophe which hit the Jedi Order." Morgana spoke, her regret could be seen through her grey eyes.
Alexia nodded slowly "Mom told me your story when I was old enough to understand it. This is why I came to you, only you have the experience to tell me what I should do. Only you can guide me, so that I do not make the same mistakes you did when you were falling for your master –for Anakin Skywalker."
Alright, I know you are confused right now but I won't be answering your questions, in the following chapters everything will become clear. Just one thing -Alexia is NOT related to Anakin, so no there is no incest going on ahahahah
