Again,
I did not write this episode…..Arawn did (the roleplayer)
Blue
Waters: episode #59 The Arawn/Anakin
Talks
He tried to divert his eyes, but the
slash across the head seemed to almost captivate him. Anakin had not wanted to
have it healed. For some reason, he wanted it to remain, almost as a reminder
of being vanquished by a greater foe. En the molten burns he had suffered
remained, the most evidencing piece of which was his lack of hair. Only more support for being a warrior.
"You are correct. I want money."
At this
point he leaned forward, his voice just above a whisper.
"Lots of
it. You have it, that I know. There's
something else I know as well."
At this point he held up the data card, angling it
so Anakin could read the words displayed.
"They're alive, Anakin. Shall it remain so?"
"I should
kill you now," Anakin said.
The fear in
his eyes was evident. What was Arawn
talking about? The Emperor would most
surly kill his family? Perhaps even
Anakin. After all, the man had his honor. Pity the fool who dares to hurt Anakin in any way.
"You won't do that. You see, there are several copies of this stationed at various points,
with orders for them to be released if anything were to ever happen to me. And
believe me, my people know I am here."
"How did you know? Samantha, Owen, Rhun, my
mother? Who? I thought them to be gone forever, dead."
"You dear
friend played a great role in this, Anakin. You do remember Obi-Wan, do you not?"
"That fool. I felt his presence many times in the past few months. Even when we
dueled such ha short time ago, I knew he was hiding something. Yet, his mind
blocked my attempts to learn."
Arawn smiled at this. The "master" couldn't figure out with his magic what his men had
been able to do. Perhaps this Force had limits.
"Anakin, it
was quite simple. All we had to do was track
his movements. We found he visits Alderaan quite often. That wasn't very
significant, until we began to track his on-plant movements. That was more
difficult, given his ability to fog people's memories of himself, but then we
spliced the computer network and found he visits Bail Organ's family very
often. And his daughter, Leia. And Samantha was there with tem."
"Samantha,"
Anakin sighed.
His eyes began to water over at the mention of his
wife.
"That's not all, dear friend. He visits a spot on Tatooine often as well.
A boy named Luke. We're still trying to confirm that, but we think he's your
son. We are under the impression that the gentleman taking charge of him does
not like Kenobi, but seems to actually chase him way."
Anakin looks at Arawn and laughs.
"You're
confused. I don't have any
children. Fine, I know what you
want. Money it shall be. It will be
transferred to your personal account by the end of the day."
"Ah, Anakin,
you truly are a noble benefactor. People speak so poorly of you, but you are such a pleasant chap."
That said, Arawn bowed and left the room. He smiled
at the thought of Anakin being left in such a steaming mood. He was unaware of
the lightsaber, which hung two inches from the back of his head, ready to
activate if the switch was depressed another millimeter.
"I never want to see your face again," Anakin said.
"Truly it
shall be. I'll leave you alone now," Arawn said, as the door swished shut.
He heard an inhuman roar of anger, followed by a
clang as something struck the door. Arawn was surprised to see the door
actually bend some. He turned to see a
badly shaking tailor. Was that the
personal tailor of the Emperor? Perhaps
the Emperor was actually trying to cheer up Anakin, thought that would be
highly out of character for him. And whatever was he doing with that black suit
in his hands? No matter of this. The
first step was complete. Soon, people would come to him. Soon.
Until next time!
