So Ani began to dictate the story of Anakin Skywalker. Strangely,
the air seemed rapt, listening. He had started from the beginning, but as
he neared the part that had not been engraved, Ani's eyes closed. He was
losing himself in the memories. Before, he would have been panicked at the
loss of control, but for whatever reason, he felt safe, warm.
Words flowed from him without his having to think about it. Of course, he tried to limit his story to things that applied to the Jedi, he didn't think Anakin wanted future visitors to know every detail of his life, but he couldn't help describing some of the moments that were dear to him.
Anakin's last coherent memory that Ani had was of the duel above the lava flows. Shuddering away from that time Anakin had raised his saber against Obi-wan; Ani gave a brief summary of the event and snapped out of his reverie. Freshly burned obsidian twinkled in the glow of his lightsaber. Now Ani understood; the record needed to be physically completed. The Force spirits had known the story, but could not engrave it themselves. So they had led Ani to do it.
Strangely, he felt clearer. It was as if by getting the tale down, he was better able to separate Anakin Skywalker from himself.
OK, I'm bored with this, so basically after this Ani's heading to one of the libraries that Obi-wan and Yoda was talking about. And that's where the next chapter picks up. Thank you for sticking with this.
