AN: Thank you for you review, as always. Now, about Force Ghosts- first of all keep in mind that Anakin is going to get some things wrong. SPOILER sith force ghost is not actually a force ghost SPOILER END. And as for the losing individuality- I did get that wrong, apologies. But the Skywalker Ghosts will be sticking around, along with certain spoiler characters, for story reasons. Sorry.

I can't answer many of your other questions because in the answers lie spoilers for the future. However, there is one I can answer:

Yes, Mara Jade is black and she is Finn's mom. Yay diversity!

Rey's eyes opened to the roof of a hut. She felt as if she was still falling into the ocean, with adrenaline pumping through her veins. She sat up quickly, and glanced out the window, seeing the storm again. Memories from her dreams were fleeting away. To understate it severely, she was quite disoriented.

Still, she grabbed her staff leaning against the cot, and ran up the stairs, past the sobbing Luke and Kylo Ren. She slowed as the clouds disappeared, and she saw the two Jedi. She didn't recognize them at all. They turned around to look at her, and she stopped in her tracks entirely.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

The young man's expression softened, as did the young woman's.

"I'm Tahiri Veila, and he's Anakin Solo," the woman said. "We came as fast as we could to help you with your training."

"With my training," Rey murmured. She hadn't really learned much other than how to levitate objects and a few lightsaber moves. It had only been a week before the storm that had brought the Knights of Ren with it.

"How long has it been, since I jumped?" she asked.

"Three days, according to Master Luke," Tahiri replied. "We're happy to see you awake."

"Wait, Solo?" Rey asked, turning to Anakin, who dipped his head in respect. "I didn't know Han had another son!"

"Neither did he at times," Anakin muttered. Tahiri gave him an elbow to the ribs, causing him to yelp.

"And what was out here?" she asked, remembering the panic and adrenaline she'd somehow felt.

"We don't know," Tahiri admitted. "Some sort of Force ghost, if we had to guess."

She glanced back at Anakin for confirmation.

Rey looked back to the stairs, where Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker were walking up. Rey blinked, confused at what she was seeing. She remembered bits of what happened before she blacked out and had strange dreams. . . Or were they dreams too?

Still, if she had remembered correctly. . . Kylo Ren had saved her life.

She stood her ground as he approached, drawing nearer and nearer.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"I've allowed him to stay," Luke answered. "He saved your life, and he has nowhere to go."

"B-But-"

"Besides, he may have information that will help us," Luke said.

"And what makes you think he'll give it to you?" Rey cried.

"Actually," Kylo spoke up. "I believe I have information that would be of more use to you."

"What could you possibly have to say?" Rey demanded. "Why would you want to tell me anything?"

"For one, your parents," Kylo snapped. "For the second. . . I don't know."

Rey looked to Luke, incredulous. He just gave her a patient smile.

She looked back to Kylo. "Fine. We can talk."

She then turned to Anakin and Tahiri. "Have you seen Finn? How is he?"

"We've seen him," Anakin said. "He's on his way to the Hapes system."

"For the peace talks?" Kylo asked.

"Yes," Anakin said, his eyes like ice on Kylo.

"He'll be safe with Tenel Ka," Luke assured her. "She's a true Jedi."

"Will we go as well?" Rey asked.

"It does seem to be the time for the return of the Jedi," Luke said, a warm smile creeping up on his face. "Hapes can be the start. After all, Jedi are meant to be diplomats first, warriors second."

"Not that the Senate ever saw it that way," Kylo muttered.

"What better way to prove it, then?" Luke said. "We leave tomorrow-Tahiri, will we be able to make it in time?"

Tahiri scrunched up her face in concentration. "Yes."

"It's settled then," Luke said, and he turned to walk away, only to abruptly stop. "And you better not get into any fights, or I'll remind you why the First Order fears my return."

With that, he disappeared down the hill.
