He looked around confused and slightly panicked by his surroundings. It was completely black. He couldn't see anything around him. What had happened? What led him to this place?
Sudden flashes of his battle with Obi-wan was projected in his mind as if he was it from another point of view.
"That's right." Maul said before he view Obi-wan's finishing blow. He looked down at his chest, there was a huge scar across his chest.
He had an idea. It was a crazy one, but it was out of pure curiosity. He pulled up his pants legs to see that his legs were restored. No more mechanical legs. Pure natural strength. For once he felt a bit happy.
He couldn't exactly say he was disappointed in the fight that had killed him. He was glad that it was Obi-wan that had finished him off and that he was protecting the Chosen One. Although Maul had to admit, he was curious at who this Chosen One was. After his resurrection by his Mother, he had heard rumors about an Anakin Skywalker being the Chosen One. That was a complete joke, Maul was sure that all the Sith laughed at. Dead and alive.
He took a step into the darkness and a path lit up in a soft blue. He followed the path until he arrived in front of two winged creatures that had morphed into human. One male. The other female. As he approached them he took notice of the males red and black eyes, grey skin with red marking, the dark clothes and black mist that surrounded his feet. The female had blue eyes, fair skin, bright clothes and a white mist surrounding her feet.
"Ah, welcome Maul!" The man greets Maul with a sinister smile.
"Who are you?" Maul could sense that the male was strong with the dark side, but stronger than anyone else he had ever known. The female, however, was stronger with the light side, even stronger than Kenobi.
"I am the Son and this is my sister, the Daughter." The man spoke and Maul had to admit further their names could be worse.
"Why am I here?" Maul decided to ask, Maybe that was a stupid question. Maul thought.
"Because you have died." The Daughter answered. Yes, it was. "All those who have chosen the path of the dark side are met with this crossroad."
"Yes my dear sister, because you just can not stand to see others lead a life that is dedicated to the dark side." The Son commented than looked at Maul. "Come, my friend, your life has been well lived. I will show the joys of your new found after life."
"Do not listen to him!" The Daughter cut in. "It is not too late Maul. You don't have to live your after life in constant anger and hate. You can live in peace and be reborn!"
"Reborn?" Maul's curiosity was definitely spiked.
"I can take you back in your life to one moment and you can fix the wrong you have done." The Daughter proposed. Maul admitted he was curious about how the galaxy would be if he didn't do one event. Which event would I go to than that would possibly change me from becoming one with the dark side? Maul pondered for a moment before a familiar green mist appeared and out of it a Nightsister spirit.
"Maul. You still must pay your due to us! Pay your due and you may continue living where you left off. It would be like you never died!" The Nightsister also proposed. Maul was conflicted. Each proposal sounded tempting.
"If I accept the Son's proposal, what will I get out of it?" Maul asked the usual question one would before jumping right into one of the proposals.
"Anything and Everything you could ever want. Immortality. Unlimited power." The Son spoke with a smile
"If you choose my brother's way you must not interfere with the living!" The Daughter added "Or else something worse than death will find you."
"And that is?" Maul questioned
"Oblivion. Absolute oblivion. You will no longer exist in any sense of the Force. Everything anyone has ever known about you will only exist in their memories and it will die there. You will be forgotten." The Daughter stated with absolute certainty.
"If I accept your proposal what will I get?" Maul questioned
"Peace. Happiness. An after life were you don't need to worry about revenge, hatred, judgment, or anger." The Daughter spoke pleadingly. The offer seemed a bit dull to Maul yet intriguing. A chance to redue one moment.
"Yes, but where is the fun in being constructed to the rules of your light side my dear sister? There is nothing fun after is single redeeming moment." The Son added
"Alright than. Nightsister, what do I get?" Maul faced the spirit.
"You get to resume your life as if you never died. Continue on your journey to defeat your enemies." The Nightsister offered
"If you accept the Nightsister's proposal, you will be her slave until you die again." The Daughter added.
"Daughter, if I accept yours, will I only get one chance at redeeming myself?" Maul asked her
"Only one." She replied and Maul stands there to think about which choice he would make.
