Summary: Anakin's POV during his transition to Vader.


Darkness surrounded him, pulling close, whispers carried on its tendrils. Murmurs of the past, present and future surrounded him. Dark joy pulsed from the Force around him, exulting in the fact that it had him, had got what it had been wanting since time immemorial.

He sensed it, knew it.

He did not feel it.

Where there had been fire, stoked and fed by the Dark Side, there was now only ash and numbness and void. It had been so quick, so sudden. Where is it? some part of him asked. Where did it go?

The old man's mind brushed against his, seeking passion. Somehow, without feeling it, without really knowing it, he showed it to him - a cloak of emotion over the sudden cold that enveloped him. Where had the real passion gone?

What had happened to Anakin Skywalker?


Sort of my way of showing the distinction between Anakin and Vader. Review.
