Mini Post! Just needed to set the groundwork for the next part..

Anakin was exhausted.
There was no way he could sleep last night, not with seeing the council this morning and now, standing outside the council chambers, he was yawning.
'Oh wonderful' he thought. 'I can hear Master Yoda already, "Get more sleep, you must, if to stay awake, in our presence, you are."
For once, Obi-Wan seemed just as fidgety. Was he worried? 'More to the point, should I be worried?' Anakin thought.
The council called for them and in they both went. Anakin lagged behind, something he always did as was taught to him as a sign of respect to his Master, but it was accentuated by the fact that he was tired. He just could not sleep last night. Through fear, he supposed. This thing, whatever in sith-hell it was, could in not be good. Or could it? The images of Padme and their babies, well, it was.a dream. A beautiful dream.
"Knight Kenobi, Padawan Skywalker ." Master Windu addressed them.
The Knight and apprentice bowed to the council and began to tell the tale of the last few days, ending with the vision of the children. The council chambers were silent. Perhaps the Jedi Masters where discussing amongst them what was happening. Anakins hands were sweating, he felt hot, tired, very thing felt so . loud? The silence in the room was deafening.
Finally, Master Yoda addressed the Padawan. "See what you are seeing, we must."
Master Windu spoke up, "Open your shields, and let us see what is happening."
Anakin just nodded, and lowered his shields. The feeling of twelve Jedi Masters entering your mind at once is.overwhelming. He steadied his breathing, letting them see what they needed to. It was draining though.
He stole a glance to his master, whos eyes where darting backwards and forwards between the council members and Anakin almost like he was watching Correlian Tennis! He almost giggled at the thought, but thought better of it. I suppose the Council wouldn't be pleased about it.
'Wow, is it just me or is it hot in here?' he thought.
He was sweating more, and feeling slightly dizzy. Burning, like.limestone? He could hear things, screams? His screams! He was screaming? Why was he screaming? The searing pain engulfing his legs answered that, he heat, force, it was so bad! He was suffocating.
Again, another sound. This wasn't screaming, this was just a rhyme.one his mother used to tell him.over and over.Home.. Hearth..why were his hands hurting?
Suddenly he felt something hit him, and everything went into a sweet black oblivion..
