4 ABY - Temple Island
Ben watched on as Luke and Leia became so in sync with their training, they used lightsabers so effortlessly so magnificently. They were perfect, they were ready.
"It is time, you are both ready." Ben told them softly.
The siblings looked at each other, Luke with a green lightsaber and Leia with her blue one. They had been training hard, training strong, they had learned everything there was to know about the force and how to use it in such a short space of time. It was clear that they had their fathers strength. Anakin was so strong in the force, if not the strongest that of course he would have passed it onto his children.
"What now?" Luke asked softly, putting his lightsaber away.
"We go back to Endor, we have to help the fleet." Leia said softly, doing the same before looking at Ben.
"That is precisely what is next." Ben responded.
"And then we face him, right?" Luke asked. Leia clenched her jaw and nodded.
"Then we face him." She whispered out, before walking away. Something was in her mind, she couldn't quite figure it out but there was something there that was picking at her brain and she needed to just meditate and relax and hope it would go away.
Sitting at the top of the rocks, she closed her eyes and breathed heavily, connecting to the force as she meditated. It was calming, soothing, and light. She let out a soft sight as she let her body relax into the force, whatever this was, it felt amazing and in many ways she was grateful Obi Wan had taught her this, because it had been her saving grace.
As Leia relaxed she found herself in a dress, a beautiful dress, it was golden and had shades of green running through it. The meadow she was in was full of beautiful red flowers - though she had never seen them before, they complimented her beautifully. She was smiling, she could see herself as clearly as she could see Luke. She was smiling at someone, she felt…happy, warmth, peace. It wasn't long before she was joined by a little boy, he had very dark black hair, wavy like hers and it came to just above his shoulders slightly. He looked like someone - she couldn't quite make it out just yet but she could see him and the love she felt for him, it was like nothing she had ever felt before. The little boy looked at her in such loving ways, moved his hand to her cheek and smiled big, held her close before running freely in the meadow. Leia just watched on, how this moment was so perfect and she didn't know what it was. She had never seen this boy in her life, but how perfect it was. She smiled in her trance slightly before her eyebrows furrowed and a frown took over, as she felt cold. So cold.
It became dark in the meadows, the clouds turned gray and the atmosphere felt so sad. She turned to look around before she saw the child looking up at something. Leia couldn't quite make it out, until that familiar sound. The robotic breaths, it haunted her ears, her trance. She felt shivers down her spine, the hairs on her body stood tall and she clenched both fists and jaw. She felt angry. Finally, she watched as the little boys smile turned into a menacing smirk as he took the hands of Lord Vader and walked off into the distance, in the distance was a burning down city, screams, pain, torture, devatstaion.
"BEN!" She heard being yelled at. "FATHER NO!" another voice. It was too much. Her eyes shot open as she tried to control her breathing, it wasn't real, it wasn't real, she repeatedly told herself mentally.
Once she felt like she had calmed down, she stood up and went to turn but as she turned she stopped at a jolt when she saw the figure of Vader standing right infront of her. Breathing heavily. The heavens opened and she became soaked, though his mechanical suit did not appear to be damaged.
"So, it is true. You have a brother." Vader said simply, taunting her. Leia clenched her jaw, she didn't know what to say, how did he even know? "Your mind is weak, your thoughts betray you and now I have the power." He said simply, taking a step forward. His step was heavy, so heavy she felt the ground shake slightly. "If you will not join me, then perhaps he will." He threatened her.
"No…" Leia whispered out slightly, she was frozen. She couldn't barely move. She could barely control any of this. It was like he was holding her there, so still, forcing her to listen to him.
"You have allowed me into your mind and now it is I who knows your every thought, your every move, your every plan. You are weak, much like your father." He said simply. That made Leia swallow hard, he didn't even consider her as his daughter - well she wasn't Vader's daughter but still, it meant there was no hope for turning him back to the light. "You cannot run from me, you cannot hide. I am coming for you." He threatened before he just disappeared.
Leia swallowed hard, and collapsed to her knees. What would become of this? She hadn't been strong enough to block him from her thoughts and now, now everyone was in danger.
