Time to explain a few things! Perhaps a few perceptive people already have guesses on who The Being is…
"Padawan Tano, can you give us a summary of your mission?" Mace Windu asked in a Council meeting.
Ahsoka took a deep breath, and explained. "I felt my Master's screams, and I followed them to a secret hatch. After entering, I was pursued by a large amount of droids, but, through one way or another…" She had previously decided to keep the Force lightning a secret, "I dispatched them."
She paused for but a moment. "I forcibly entered Master Skywalker's holding chamber, and a figure dropped onto the floor in front of me."
"Could you give us a description of the being, Padawan?" Mace inquired eagerly.
"He was wearing Zillo beast armor, a black cape and a hood."
"Did you recognize him in any way?"
"When he looked up, he… had no face. There was just… blackness. A void, so to speak."
"What happened next?"
"He was clearly very skilled in the art of lightsaber dueling, as he wielded two blades. They were white."
The Council exchanged glances at each other. Mace asked, "What was his Force aura like?"
"I hadn't felt anything like it, my Masters. He was… pure, like the light from the sun itself, and yet, at the same time, darker than the Sith."
The whole Council was clearly agitated, and Ahsoka assumed they knew something about this… being.
Master Yoda made a low sound in his throat, then spoke through the whispers. "The Force of the Void… it is."
The room became dead silent. Something about that phrase sent chills up Ahsoka's spine.
She hesitantly asked, "The Force… of what?"
"Many years ago, many of such creatures existed. To disrupt and kill, was their nature. Out of balance, the Force was."
"What… happened to them?'
"Jedi. To end the chaos, fight we did. Prevailed, we had."
"But what about this one?"
"One exists always. In the shadows, they remain. Wield both the Light and the Dark sides of the Force, they do. Found the last Being, you have."
"So all he's trying to do is to put the Force into chaos?"
"Powerful, he is, For selfish and selfless gain, his impulsive nature forces him to kill. Dangerous, he is."
"What do we do with him?"
"Strong in the Force, he is. Find him that way, we cannot. Find him, only you can."
"How?'
"Meditate. Clear your thoughts and focus, young Padawan. Talk with him, you will."
She bowed and left the room. As she passed each hallway on the way to her quarters, she thought to herself, "Who is it? It isn't Reborn, he's too different. But from that time period…"
She opened the door and sat on the Jedi mat. Her eyes drifted closed. Stars wheeled overhead, until she could see a shadow. A figure emerged. It was no man, just a shadow of one; like a silhouette. Her mind asked, "Who are you? Why did you help me?"
The shadow melted away. She saw… him. "Ahsoka, have you forgotten me already?"
She was baffled. That was impossible. He was dead. "You're dead, though! I watched you die."
"I did not die. I defeated my enemy."
"Where are you? I need to talk with you! In person!" Her mind pleaded.
The figure began to dissipate, but he said a parting phrase.
"Don't worry. We'll meet again. I promise…. Promise… promise…"
Then her eyes burst open and she regained consciousness, panting. Impossible. He couldn't have defeated that thing. It was an impregnable enemy. And if he was alive, what was he doing as the one with the Force of the Void?
But she knew they would meet again. But perhaps not on such peaceful terms.
If any of you are wondering, yes, I made him mostly anonymous, even in this chapter, on purpose. Leave a review!
