Anakin Nightwalker, the chosen one, meant to bring balance to the force the prophecy said, the timeline if unmangled would've had him rise to great power under the guise of Lord Vader, but time was a fickle and ever changing mistress and even the beings of the force and mortis could never see it's winding roads of change and the erosion of fate.
Savage Opress came back before Count Dooku empty handed and was given the task to to hunt down the Jedi who caused this disaster and put an end to him, Dooku knew this would keep Obi Wan busy at least for a little while and test his new acolyte giving Savage the chance to redeem himself.
Ventress returned home to Dathomir knowing she'd have to wait longer then she had desired to take a shot at Dooku so with this new information and knowing Savage would be wasted on Obi Wan a while longer she made her way to Dathomir to continue and study the ways of the Nightsister under Mother Talzin.

As Ventress walked into the grand temple she did not expect to see a half naked, Anakin Skywalker covered in Nightbrother Tattoos from head to toe that were being inked deep into his fair skin. She was also at a loss at this powerful witch posing as Shmi, as she could sense that kind of Magick now but Talzin was quick to whisk her away before the dazed Anakin could see his beloved.
Ventress looked at Mother Talzin entertained and also very confused. "What is "He" doing here, why are we hosting a Jedi and why is he so oblivious." Talzin grinned at this daughter of Dathomir and spoke clearly. "He has been broken, his mind wiped and molded anew, he will be a useful tool in the times to come, surely you have felt the power he wields in the force when you've fought him before. Did you ever think twice of it, little Ventress? Shame on you, you could've realized the potential asset he was and made more use of him, and what of your plans with Dooku?" Talzin could read Ventress with ease and she continued. "Savage has not yet given you an opportunity to strike hmm a piety. Well I've good news with his shattered mind I've chosen you as the new focus of his emotions."
Ventress looked unsure of what she meant as Mother Talzin just grinned, enjoying the words she was about to speak. "You see when examining his mind and accessing all he held dear I came to understand he held a love for something more than himself or the entire Jedi Order… a woman, Senator Padme Amidala."
Ventress developed a wicked grin at this knowledge, the idea that Anakin was not some valiant Jedi but a rebel was entertaining but not some great surprise and Padme, she wanted to slap herself for not seeing it herself sooner. Then she looked to Talzin for more.
Talzin gets to the more extreme parts. "I need you to do two things to finish this and remove the very last traces of Anakin so that I can continue to turn him into a mindless brute whose massive command over the force will fuel a great power I seek to unleash. First he currently is grasping as all that love and emotion he feels is now being focused on you Ventress. I need you to make him love you, mate him and break him. Once he wants this new love and fate that will do most of the key work, then lastly I need you to kill Padme Amidala and in a way that will allow a Sister to embrace her spirit and draw it back to us, that Senator's knowledge will be a useful asset and it will allow us to destroy any vestige of Anakin that the first techniques does not, a broken man does not break free of bondage.
Ventress let Talzin's plan all sink in and she found it absolutely wicked, the chance to not only corrupt and break Anakin Skywalker that arrogant little bastard but also to destroy Obi Wan's prized apprentice, and settle the score with that idyllic Republic Senator bitch. She nodded truly accepting this mission and then she started to think about the new role and how she would present herself to her "lover"
Anakin came to his senses in a Nightsister Tent, his mother Shmi was tending due his exhausted delirious state, the fever that struck him had left him unable to fi..work he was so dazed he kept dreaming of battle and war in some distant fantasy like world. His mother smiled at him and gave him a hug. "It's okay my son, soon you will be better and your strength shall return."
He embraced her weak in the arms but with a fondness as if he had not seen her for some time, this just felt right, nothing was out of place his Mother and him both alive and well.
