Hi everyone, sorry that it's been so long since the last update, but some personal issues arose that prevented a quicker update. To make up for that after this chapter my coauthors and I have another chapter that we are going to post tonight. We hope everyone enjoys this chapter and remember feedback is always welcome so if you have the time PM one of us or leave a review.

Chapter 3

Ahsoka took Lux's ship and set her course for Ilum. It was going to take quite some time to get there, but that didn't bother her. Only she was so used to being on ships with other people most of the time that it felt just a little bit weird. She didn't even have Artooie with her. She had gotten so use to his constant beeping; God she missed the little guy. Okay, she had a whole list of people she missed already and it hasn't even been that long since she walked away.

"I still can't believe I'm dwelling on this" Ahsoka said out loud to herself.

"You have every right to Ahsoka," Daughter's voice stated. "It has only been two days since you left. While you may be able to contain your emotions at the moment, the memory and the feelings are still fresh."

"Must you remind me about that?" Ahsoka snarked.

"You asked a question Ahsoka," Daughter said. "I was simply giving you the answer to it. Besides I thought you would appreciate a conversation. I know while you have done so before you must not be used to flying completely solo."

"Alright," Ahsoka said. "You're right about that; but then again the only reason you probably know that is because you've been inside me for so long. So you've seen a lot of what I have seen."

"That you are correct about," Daughter said. "I've even seen your recent interactions with your friend Lux that you were just with. He's quite a nice young man."

"Wait," Ahsoka said. "Where are you going with this?"

"It seems that he likes you very much Ahsoka," Daughter said. "And from what I've seen it looks like you like him as well."

"I'll admit I was attracted to him," Ahsoka said.

"You also seemed awfully jealous when that young girl, Steela, showed an interest in him,"Daughter stated.

"Kriff," Ahsoka said. "That was after what happened on Mortis. So you did see that."

"Indeed I did,"Daughter said.

"The Jedi code prohibited attachments though," Ahsoka pointed out. "They're not allowed to fall in love."

"You are not part of the Jedi Order anymore though Ahsoka,"Daughter confirmed.

"Oh, right," Ahsoka said. "I'm just not entirely sure what I would consider Lux right now, a friend, and an ally yes, but I don't think I've known him long enough to consider something more serious."

"I can understand that Ahsoka," Daughter said. "I just think you should know that it's not impossible for you to consider something like that in the future."

"So you don't agree with the attachment rule that the Jedi have?" Ahsoka questioned.

"I can understand why they think it is dangerous," Daughter said. "At the same time though an attachment could be healthy if you have the right attitude toward it. It gives you something to fight for, and love and family, attachment is a big part of both of those, a mutual attachment of course, and as a representation of the light side of the Force, I do believe in all of those things."

"Yeah," Ahsoka said. "I don't think I ever fully understood the attachment rule myself."

The rest of the ride was pretty silent, but after quite a long time of travel Ahsoka had finally reached Ilum. She ventured into the Crystal Caves and searched until she found two crystals. She actually found the crystals pretty quickly, but then again she had already done this before when she was a youngling. There wasn't anything new for her to learn from doing something like this.

Anyway, as soon as she had the crystals she found her way out of the caves and headed back to Coruscant. She had promised Lux she would come back, plus he had the rest of her lightsaber materials; and she couldn't just steal his ship. It wouldn't be right.

She and the Daughter conversed about things for short periods of time, but when they didn't Ahsoka mostly thought about all the people she had left behind, the people she missed. She wished she could see them again, but seeing them would mean going back to the Jedi Order; and there was no way she was going back there.

When she returned after a few days' journey back the first thing she did was head back toward Lux's apartment. She had to return the key to his ship and get her materials back.

She entered his apartment and found him sitting on the couch in his living room looking at something on a holopad. He had heard her come in, so he closed his holopad and stood from his spot on the couch to turn and face her.

"Ahsoka," he said. "I'm glad you're back."

"Well, I had too," Ahsoka joked. "You have the rest of my materials and I needed to return your ship to you. Also, I never break a promise, which you made me make."

Lux had to laugh at her comments a bit.

"Did you find your crystals?" Lux asked.

"Yes I did," Ahsoka replied.

"Was it difficult?" Lux questioned.

"No," Ahsoka stated. "I had already been through it before when I was a youngling when I constructed my very first lightsaber, but when you go through it the first time there is a difficulty that you need to face and you're supposed to learn something new by facing this. Seeing how I had already gone through this before though, there wasn't really anything new for me to learn."

"I see," Lux replied. "So all you have to do now is construct them?"

"Yes," Ahsoka said. "It shouldn't take too long as long as I keep focus and my concentration isn't broken."

"Would you actually mind if I watched?" Lux asked. "I have always been quite curious as to how those are constructed."

"I see no problem with it," Ahsoka replied. "I am going to have to ask you to keep quite while I do it though, and I am going to need the rest of my materials back please."

"Of course," Lux said leaving the room for a brief minute.

He came back with the bag of her materials and handed it to her.

Ahsoka laid all the materials in front of her and took out the two crystals from her pouch. She closed her eyes and extended her arms out in front of her concentrating hard on using the force to put all the parts together in the right place. Once one of them was successfully completed she repeated the process with the other one, and soon enough the two lightsabers were lying in front of her.

The bases of the light sabers were rectangular and curved on the sides. In the center of each light sabers were smaller black rectangles with two small silver diamonds inside of them. The top parts were the actual blade was supposed to come out was a thin cylinder shape that rounded out at the top and had another small cylinder and a much larger rounded out shape at the top. The bottom of the light saber also curved downward and rounded out at the very bottom. Ahsoka looked very intrigued by her newly constructed light sabers. They were like nothing she had ever seen before, but what still had her curious was what color the blades were. So she stood and grabbed hold of both blades and ignited them. When she did, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"White lightsabers," she said.

The blades were indeed white. They were also a little shorter than the blades of her previous lightsabers, but that wasn't the main point right now.

"I'm sorry they're not green like your old ones Ahsoka," Lux said.

"No, it's okay," Ahsoka said. "I'm not disappointed, surprised more than anything. I've heard of white lightsaber crystals before but they're rare. The only people who usually wield lightsabers such as these are imperial knights."

"So they're special?" Lux questioned.

"Yes," Ahsoka replied. "Yes they are."

"Well now that you have your lightsabers, what will you do next?" Lux questioned.

"There is something that I need to find information on" Ahsoka said.

"And what would that be?" Lux questioned.

"It's a little difficult to explain," Ahsoka declared.

"Ahsoka," Lux began. "I only want to help you. I won't force you to tell me anything that would make you uncomfortable. I can't help you if I don't know anything though. So please, I'm asking you as a friends to please tell me what you can."

"Okay," Ahsoka replied. "You might want to sit down for this though."

So Lux and Ahsoka both sat down on the couch and Ahsoka took a deep breath before finally speaking.

"A while back before we met up with you again," Ahsoka began. "Obi Wan, Anakin, and I were on a mission. Only instead of ending up at the location where we were supposed to meet our battalion, we were pulled onto a strange world called Mortis. When we got there we found out that there was more to the Force than any Jedi probably knew."

"What does that mean?" Lux asked.

"Well," Ahsoka said. "Let's just say that there were three beings that represented the Force, one for the light side, one for the dark side, and the balance in-between."

"Really?" Lux questioned.

"Yes," Ahsoka continued. "Anyway, our ship had broken down because we had crash landed. While we were trying to figure out how to get off the planet, someone their kind of brainwashed me and tried to use me against Anakin and Obi Wan, but through many dramatic events that occurred after I'm now connected to the being that represents the light side of the Force. I only found this out recently, but I also learned that there are societies that worship the beings that represent the two sides of the force. I found this when a few days ago when I was gathering materials for my lightsabers."

Ahsoka reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out the cloth she had found in the market a few days earlier and handed it to Lux.

"And this is the symbol for one of the societies?" Lux questioned.

"Yes," Ahsoka said. "The society of the light; I need to find out where they're located and what exactly they are, but I'm not entirely sure where to start. I could go to the library, but I don't know if that will help lead me to anything actually useful."

"Is there any other place you can think of to find the information?" Lux asked.

"Yes," Ahsoka stated. "The Jedi archives, but, I just can't go back to the temple."

"I could sneak in and try and look for some information," Lux offered.

Ahsoka looked surprised by his response.

"What if you get caught though Lux?" Ahsoka asked. "I don't want you to get in trouble for me."

"I think I'd be fine if I was careful enough," Lux declared. "Besides, I understand why you can't go back in, and I really want to help you."

"I'm beginning to like this boy more and more," Daughter said.

"Please stop that," Ahsoka replied.

"You're absolutely sure about that?" Ahsoka questioned.

"I am," Lux replied. "If I have any ability to help you find the society then I'm going to do it. Besides, if we work together we can probably get your search done faster. As I said in the past, we make a pretty good team, don't we?"

"That we do," Ahsoka said punching his arm lightly. "Thank you Lux, it means a lot."

"Of course," Lux said. "Anything for a friend."

"Although I think it might be a little too late in the day to start the search now," Ahsoka stated.

She looked outside to see that the sun had already set.

"Agreed," Lux replied.

"So we begin our search for the answers tomorrow morning?" Lux questioned.

"Deal," Ahsoka replied. "I really hope we find some answers."
