Chapter VII: The Epilogue
With the Sith menace subdued, things slowly returned to normal at the Jedi Temple. The remaining biotoxin was used to create an antidote, which was successfully administered to all. That left only one unanswered question…
Soon after being released from the infirmary, Anakin posed it to his mentor. "I wonder who sent him?" The name Darth Sidious didn't mean much. The Sith used aliases. It could be anybody or their uncle.
"I am not sure, Padawan," the old man shook his head.
"He's so young." It was unnerving to think that the Sith could ensnare children. "It's sad."
"Age counts for little," Qui-Gon pointed out. He was not so sympathetic to the Sith assassin. Mistress Aspic was the best Soul Healer in the galaxy. Shaden's darkness would be washed away and he would be given a new life.
"I suppose not," Anakin sighed. The Master was always harping on their ages though! "It kind of makes you think, though." Life was just full of lessons. Some were easier to accept than others, but all had their place. Ani remembered his mother telling him something like that once. Her words still rang true.
"Yes it does, " Master Qui-Gon agreed, stroking Anakin's short hair. All in all things had worked out. Several Padawans had perished, the Temple was in mourning, but, they had resolved the crisis. For a time at least.
There was no doubt that this Darth Sidious would strike again. Shaden's warning about a replacement Sith hung over the Council's heads. There was nothing they could do about it, except train the Padawans well and prepare for the next threat.
Next time it might very well be Sidious himself. The Dark Lord was very disappointed with Shaden's failure at the Jedi Temple. He was furious that the Order would take everything he had built after the death of Darth Maul, six years of work with that boy, and wipe it away. Damn them!
He was going to kill them all!

Master Yoda has assigned me to a mission with Qui-Gon and Anakin. Damn that meddlesome persistent troll!
Well, I am trying to be optimistic. Perhaps it won't be so bad?
