It came forward with a hiss like an angry wamp rat defending its territory. The green meter length column of pure energy waved in front of him. Every strand of hair sought the beam following it in tandem with the rest of the hairs like flowers pointing to the sun. The hum reverberated through him. Around him. This feeling was in him through him yet no where near him. He felt alone. He felt secure. But most of all he felt at peace.

A twist of his wrist and the beam sailed downwards the hum picking up with the fast motion. Diagonally up to the right and it again made a similar high pitched hum. Then with another hiss it disappeared. A clink and he attached it to his belt. He knew he was coming before he could hear his foot steps.

"Anakin! How's it going little brother?"

"Fine fine Jacen and yourself?"

"Great just practicing. Care to join?"

A slight grin and Anakin unclipped his lightsaber. He flipped it up and caught it hitting the activation button. Violet swept out as his physical representation of Knighthood ignited. Dropping it low then bringing it up he drew into a defensive stance. Jacen grinned and also brought forth his blade. Green and violet light flew along everything. Each half of the room a different color.

Both of them stared into each other's eyes. With a flash of green Jacen feinted forward and instead brought his saber in an upward arc. Anakin leapt back and parried countering with his own blow. Back and forth the brothers dueled. Each giving nothing yet taking nothing. Both stood facing the other breathing heavily. A snap-hiss and each saber disappeared.

"Nice." Jacen commented through heavy breathing.

"Not… too bad… yourself." Anakin retorted with a smirk.

Each walked out and went to their quarters.

In another room a 16 year old female sat on the floor. She sat eyes not wavering as she had for hours.

The Jedi master looked up with alarm in his eyes. Not only did he hear it but he felt it. He launched himself out of his door and straight to Jaina's room. Her door flew open as he approached and his wife, Mara, came right behind him.

On the floor Jaina writhed and squirmed screaming. "No No!! Stay away!!" She kicked Luke before he could get away. Running over he grabbed her. She fought even harder. Finally he reached into her mind to knock her unconscious but began grabbing his head and dropped her. Falling to his knees he swung and screamed too. Mara was in shock. Pulling herself out of it she reached out and slapped both of them. Hard. Luke snapped out of it but Jaina kept screaming. Again Mara reached out and slapped her. Harder. By reaction Jaina reached out and, using the Force, shoved Mara across the room. When she realized what she had done she ran over to her and held her.

"Aunt Mara I'm so sorry. I am I really am."

"Are you alright?" A nod of the head. "Good." And Mara slumped down unconscious. Jaina held her and cried.

Luke reached Jaina and put a hand on her shoulder. Lifting Mara up with the force he carried Jaina to the infirmary
