Chapter Fourteen
It had been two weeks since Anakin's death. Well, his real death. Ever since then Jacen Solo had been wondering what next? What next was he going to do? He was a Jedi Knight now. He had always thought that by becoming a Jedi Knight he would have had all of his questions that he had asked answered.
But he was wrong. None of his questions had been answered. In fact, only more had spawned. He now had more questions. Like, what did Anakin do after he went into that void? Why was it when he walked out he just died! It didn't make sense.
He needed too know.
But now, as he stood on the left side of Luke Skywalker, both of them holding a torch with flames spewing out of its tip, he knew he should stay a Jedi Knight. Anakin would have wanted that. Oddly, so would Jacen.
He still wondered though, what would have happened had he not saved Anakin on the world ship? What if he never knew? Would Anakin had never died and be saved by some Special Operation Soldiers?
No. Anakin would have died a cold, meaningless, lonely death. But in this case, Anakin died for what to the normal eyes was no reason, Jacen knew that there was a reason for it. He was going to find out.
Jania on the right side of Luke Skywalker, not wondering what next but wondering; How did this happen? She didn't know why Anakin had died; she doubted that she ever would. Jania didn't want to have a answer too that question. She doubted she ever would. Now she held the torch in the Jedi funeral, Jacen also held a torch, as did Luke. Then, they dipped the torches downwards, and Anakin's corpse began to burn to ash.
The three Jedi stepped off of the stage where Anakin's body burned.
Jacen took a seat next to his mother, Leia, and Jania took a seat next to her father, Han Solo. Han had a stern look on his face, though a face of morning, she could see that he didn't believe what he was seeing. Neither did Jania.
Leia however, was crying. Jania also felt a tear streak down her cheek. Everyone around her had a sad look on there faces. They had all been so close to Anakin.
The Funeral was outdoors, on the planet of Ossus, where the New Jedi Temple was being made. Anakin's grave was too be right outside of it, in front of the main entrance. It was to remind everyone what a true Jedi was supposed to be like.
No one would forget the sacrifices that Anakin made.
