Blue
Waters: episode # 16 Another Dark
Conference
Previously: Queen Samantha thought over an event that
occurred 9 years ago. She was mad
because her mother wanted her to marry someone she didn't love: Arawn. Obi-Wan came to take Anakin and his brother Owen to Coruscant. Anakin must face the trials. Owen told Anakin to get his son Gryvonbarf
to safety, which is exactly what Anakin did. When Anakin took Gryvonbarf, Beru did not know whom Anakin was (his
name…only that he is Owen's brother.) While Anakin was heading towards the Jedi Temple, Samantha had gotten
out of the palace. They saw each other
for a brief moment.
Queen
Samantha turned away as Anakin was lost in the crowd. Samantha had decided to take a walk after calming down. She'd definitely have to figure out a way to
avoid that Arawn guy, she knew. But
what neither Anakin nor Samantha realized was that someone had followed Anakin
from the moment he got off the ship…and saw this little incident. Arawn was standing back in the shadows. He had heard that Anakin was coming to the
capital city and was waiting to report him so that he could do his little spy
work. Arawn had seen the transaction
between Anakin and Samantha, and after a safe amount of time had passed, headed
over to a certain office that he has often visited.
Arawn says
after entering Sidious' office. "I'm
back and I have something to report."
Darth Sidious was not facing him when Arawn
entered, but now slowly spun around in his chair.
"What is it? I'm busy…"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Lord Sidious, but
I just wanted to report that Anakin Skywalker is here on Coruscant."
Darth Sidious nods. "Yes, I know. Thank you
for the information anyway."
"There's more…I'm afraid Anakin has seen
Samantha and they might start to like each other or something."
"Are you sure that your thoughts on the
matter are clear, Arawn? Or are you
just afraid that she might just like any guy except you. You were looking for Anakin, so maybe you
just thought you saw them eying each other."
Sidious says this with little
expression.
"Well…no…I
could be wrong. I just don't want
someone else to take my girl away."
Darth Sidious looks thoughtful as he says,
"No, Arawn, it would mean more than just your loss if they fell in love…I do
hope you are wrong, Arawn."
Sidious laughs.
"Anyway, it's ridiculous I don't think she'd
fall in love with a commoner…I mean she is the queen of Coruscant. But just to be on the safe side, make sure
they stay away from each other."
"Yes master. I'm grateful to you for doing this for me."
"Arawn, t his is not for you. You are not the issue. Anakin has an extremely high level of
force…he has a level of –14. That is
the highest. Samantha is part of the
royal family, which gives her a royal force. But she is the Queen, which givers her –15 Royal force. That is the highest Royal Force level."
Sidious looks
to Arawn for a reaction.
Arawn gives
none, so Sidious continues, "If they were to get married, any children that
they had would have the possibility of having a –16 of both forces. Of course that's a long shot, but the
possibility still exists. Any person
with a –16 would be able to use either force and would be a huge threat to me. That is why I want you to make sure they
stay away from each other. As
long as those are just your suspicions and they don't meet again, they'll be no
chances of there being a problem, will there."
If Sidious were not so good at hiding his
feelings, a person might be able to detect fear as the conversation took
place.
"No sir."
"Good…I need to get back to my work on my
list here."
With that, the scene shifts to the Jedi
Temple with the anxious Padawasns ready to face the trials. Anakin Skywalker meets up with Obi-Wan, who
had been waiting for Anakin.
"Hello,
Ani. Do you think you're up to this…you
seem…"
Anakin
stopped him, "I'm fine, master. I just
got a little distracted on the way."
At that
moment Mace Windu steps forward, "Anakin Skywalker…you are about to face the
trials. Now this will make you a full
Jedi if you should pass, but you still must complete your training. You'll have a full Jedi title, but your
training is not done as of yet. You
understand…I had to say that twice to stress the conditions by which you are
under."
Anakin nods.
"I'm ready."
Yoda is also present. He nods as he studies Anakin. The boy had
obviously grown strong and showed promise in becoming a full Jedi Knight, but
his training was not yet over, Yoda reminded himself.
"Yes, the boy
would probably pass," concluded Yoda as he began to lead Anakin into the
testing center of the Jedi structure.
Until next
time!
