Summary: Who could ever think that a small confession between master and apprentice would change the course of the war forever?

" normal talking "

" thoughts "

Anakin was unsure at first, but when he started talking he just couldn't stop until he let out everything that had happened during those secret years of his.

Trust me

Kenobi was surprised, then annoyed and suddenly angry, but near the end of Anakin's speech he only felt guilty. His apprentice and friend had survived that all by himself; he didn't agree with what Skywalker has done, but he understood, at least now, Obi-Wan did.

The Right Path

An awkward silence remained for some time, but their thoughts were loud enough to make that all worth. While Anakin waited for his master's words, Obi-Wan thought about the Order and how its teachings were somehow old-fashioned.

Time had passed by and the galaxy changed as people did. If the Jedi Order wanted to remain alive, trying to bring peace to the galaxy it would have to change some of their commandments. Changes, sometimes, could bring the better of something. By the force, he sounded just like Master Qui-Gon.

Looking at Anakin he saw himself at his age, just a young man trying to fix problems that were greater than him and being a little honest, he knew that the blonde man was doing a better job than him. This young man, born out of a prophecy…the one supposed to bring the balance to the force.

Facing his friend, the Jedi Master walked to him. His feet, hopefully, were guiding him to the right decision.

- "For a long time, I have being unconsciously eaten alive by my anxieties and worries about the future, thinking where it would lead me, but I just remembered the words that a wise man told me, he said to not be mindful at the expense of the future, but of the living force. I don't know where this all will take us, Anakin, however be assured that I trust you for I must have faith that you'll take the right path."

It was all unexpected and a little odd to both of them, but while they were fixing their wrongs and writing a new story, three masters were meditating about this brand course the force has created.

- "Hmm… As a surprise it came. Stronger their link is maybe right you were."

- "The future is not written on a rock, but the force will get its will working, although now our vision seems brighter."

- "But out there they still are."

An angry and malicious feeling was echoing through the force, they had felt it too. The dead master knew that the Dark Lord saw those different directions for what they were: a nuisance, something that could ruin his long life plans; however, he also feared it, so it didn't matter how strong fear could make them, when it was against them it could make the siths as weak as anyone else.

Things were changing, slowly, but there were and as long as it happened, everything would end as it should have.

Somehow, after telling his master about what he did, those disturbing nightmares that always haunted Anakin weren't there anymore, just the face of smiling babies and a fallen black mask buried under the sand's of choice. Obi-Wan was, after all these years, at peace not only with himself, but with his master too.

At night, when sleep was finally taking over him, Obi-Wan remembered Jinn's words:

"There are many paths to take, Obi-Wan. Not all of us are fortunate enough to find the one with heart, the path the Force has set before us."

- "Master, I found it..." - if he wasn't so tired, he would have sworn he had heard an answer...

- "I knew you would..."

But he did.

OWARI

Good evening,

I'm so sorry for the waiting. I know it took me too long to update it and I'm sure that many won't be pleased with this ending, but I wanted to give it this end for trust is an important feeling and it can change the choices we make, however future is unwritten and it falls to us to decide what we will make out of ourselves. Thank you all for reading it, reviewing...well, everthing. You're all awesome.

See you someday,

The Good Savage.

Thanks. =)
