Disclaimer: I *sob* don't own *wail* Star Wars!
A/N: It's overrrr!!! NOOOOO!!!!
Well, yes. It's over. Palace of Dim Night is over, Anakin has been brought back (with fun new hair), Tahiri is no longer on the brink of suicide, he has a new name and is ready to face the galaxy again. *sigh* This is my last venture into Star Wars till they fix the universe, people! And I hope it's soon, because dangit, I miss this place. There's nothing like it.
Dedication: To everyone who loves Star Wars and what it represents.
Peace to all.
Epilogue
Massassi Ani was introduced to the Errant Venture in a rather simple manner: Tahiri dragged him to the cafeteria and sat down with him to eat. Most of the Jedi didn't question Tahiri's healed state, they were only grateful she was in it, instead of infecting the entire ship with her despair. The rest of the resurrection committee – as well as Tionne, who would know Anakin the moment she felt him – had been informed of his new name and backstory. The rest of the Jedi and the others on the ship could go to Luke or Mara if they wanted to know what was going on with the new trainee.
"Mind if I sit down?" Massassi Ani recognized the young man who'd asked as Raynar Thull, a friend of the twins. He also couldn't help but notice the quiet air of resignation about him, a resignation Massassi Ani recognized all too well. "You the new trainee everyone's talking about?"
"Yes," Massassi Ani nodded, his head bowed. He'd been given some coaching on being a Dathomirian male by Tenel Ka, but he intended to outgrow it at a tremendous rate. "Massassi Ani."
"I'm Raynar."
All of a sudden the long-haired boy's eyes went blank – and while Raynar didn't notice, his eyes trained on his food, Tahiri did, and grinned. He'd run into a couple of people already, and Tahiri had come to relish his messages – although the lecture he'd delivered without thinking about it to Tionne from Nomi had rather astonished all three of them.
Then he got a hold of himself, thought about it for a moment, then shrugged. "Boy, am I never going to be able to explain this." He tapped Raynar on the shoulder and the young man turned to face him. "Raynar, Lusa will never forgive you if you kill yourself. And never is a very long time."
He turned back to his food without another comment, Raynar staring at him, shocked. Tahiri shrugged at Raynar and grinned, her amusement echoing through and shared by the boy sitting next to her, her love and other half - Massassi Ani, known in a past life and to his dearest friends as Anakin Solo.
