Timeframe: Between Episode 2 and 3

Summary: Anakin Skywalker wrote a letter to his master ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Master,

How are you? I actually promised myself that I will not write to you anymore. That I'm going to severe all ties with you and Padme. That Anakin Skywalker is dead, buried and never to live again.

But I cannot forget you.

Did you know I miss you? Despite all that I've done. But I cannot return already, because my soul is soiled and crush, broken beyond all repair.

You may have destroyed me physically, master, but I destroyed myself mentally.

Did you know about Darth Vader? Do you know who he is? This giant black mechanical monster who goes around killing little Jedi deep in the night? It is me, master, me in my perfect unadulterated glory.

Did you cry in the night, knowing finally what type of monster you raised, that the boy angel you adore so much was finally gone, never existed in the first place?

I am death. But without death there is no rebirth. Do you understand master? Do you understand that I am not some helpless poor soul deluded into darkness? That I embrace the darkness willingly, taste it's promise and craved it like an addict. I know where I am going, and I know that this is my destiny.

I prayed, meditated and waited. Wait for the Force to show me another way, a way without suffering or pain or death or destruction. A way without me turning to achieve perfect balance. But I realize that all roads were gone, and that redemption for all can only be purchase at the cost of my own damnation. So I willingly take down the road to hell, hoping to find my own salvation.

But Darth Vader does not know that. Only Anakin Skywalker does. And Anakin Skywalker now resides in the recesses of Darth Vader, sleeping until a time where he would returned..

Yet at times like these, master, I missed you. Missed you with every fibre of my dead heart, loving you still.

He does not know. Darth Vader I mean..and I am contented to sleep within him, a tiny light that seems to be gone, yet struggling to hold on. My love for you, Padme and my children will pull me through. And then, perhaps then, I can have my own redemption. To see you, Padme and all our friends again. To have forgiveness.

If you cannot forgive me, master, it's alright. I know I do not deserve forgiveness now. You have seen me finally for what I am, for what I represent. I am death and rebirth and I will rather destroy everything than to let the Darkness win. I am a puppet, but someday someone will cut my strings. And I will be free.

No one will know of these words, master. No one. Even as I whisper them, they are gone, floating like ashes, ashes of broken promises. My love is weak, but the love of others will pull me through. Because I have forseen it.

Your ex-padawan

Anakin Skywalker
