"Why do you insist on using that primitive thing? You are beyond such things, My love," the Daughter said.
Anakin turned and smiled, deactivating his new lightsaber before he faced her fully; in his life, there had been four major women; his mother, Padme, Shanna, and the Daughter. While Padme had betrayed him not once, but twice, his mother had died, and Shanna was murdered, Anakin was at first unsure about entering a relationship with the Daughter, because he was scared she would be lost to him as well.
After the loss of his Force connection thanks to the Jedi Council's frankly stupid actions, Anakin had realised he was a mortal man regardless of how powerful he was beforehand, and the pain caused by Shanna's death and the Daughter's presence in his life had allowed him to move on.
The good news was the Father actively approved of their relationship, and he had given them his blessing.
"Maybe," Anakin replied, thinking of all the things he had learnt before, "but it's good to get some of my skills back."
The Daughter gave him a thoughtful expression. "You enjoy your physical prowess, don't you?"
"I was always afraid of my power whenever I meditated in the Jedi Temple, and because so many people didn't trust or like me, I was only given the basics of Force powers…according to the Jedi. I was never encouraged to look into the more cerebral realms of the Force, and I was always more interested in the physical aspects of being a Jedi following the whole of my training. It's different now; you, your father, and the Son, you've all taught me a great deal about the Force in ways I had never imagined," Anakin said. "Yeah, I know you did it mostly to make me see there's more to the Force, but I've matured over the last few years."
The Daughter looked sadly at him. As the personification of the Light side of the Force, she was far from happy with what the Jedi had become in her name. The Jedi Order had once been a bastion of Light in the galaxy, but their attitudes did not speak of following the Will of the Force, but their desires. The pain Anakin Skywalker had felt when the Jedi had just blocked the Force connection instead of tearing it apart had reached through the depths of the Force, and the Mortis Force wielders had to work together to repair the damage; thanks to them, Anakin would live, but he would need time to recover, and follow the Force's will to arrive on Mortis.
The Jedi disappointed the Daughter.
They had become closed off from the Force, mostly because of the small hole torn into the fabric of the Force by a Sith Lord a century or so ago, but a large reason why was because they had retreated to Coruscant, a world largely mechanised so it was nigh impossible for the Jedi to hear the Will of the Force.
They had originally upheld the principles of peace, justice, and goodness. The Jedi had once been balanced between the Light and the Dark, but over time their fear of the Dark Side had transformed into ignorance, and so they were unprepared to deal with the Sith's plan to eradicate them.
In deeming their acts to be the Will of the Force, they committed evil acts; the Daughter knew that Light inevitably cast its Darkness, and while she could tolerate it if it led to a good outcome, in the Jedi's case, they often caused more harm than good. A case in point was the disaster with the Mandalorians, where the Jedi massacred them.
Another thing that the Daughter disliked was how the Jedi took it upon themselves to steal children from their parents to fill their ranks to train them early and cut off all attachments to them. The Jedi were so scared of their falling to the Dark Side, the lengths they took were too evil and she hated it.
The Daughter…hated the fact that an innocent woman and an even more innocent child had died by the Will of the Force, and she hated being a part of it even more, considering how far she and Anakin had come along. To help Anakin live his life and move on, the Daughter and the Father had given Anakin access to the Netherworld of the Force, so he could reunite with Shanna and Shmi, the two women who'd met the most him. They had urged him to move on once they brought the subject of the Daughter up. Shanna herself had been relieved that Anakin had found somebody else and that he was no longer moping. Shanna had encouraged him to move on; her spirit was saddened that the pair of them would never marry, that she would never see their child grow up, go to school, or see a galaxy free from the Empire, but she encouraged Anakin to live and to accept people died as a painful but necessary part of life.
Shmi had approved of Shanna's views, telling her son he needed to live his life and try to fulfil his dreams, something that Anakin accepted. The Jedi had spent a lot of their time brainwashing him into being the perfect Jedi; someone who moved on, someone who wasn't attached to people or their past; in this case, his life as a slave. They wanted him to look down his nose at the people enslaved, and serve the will of the Republic Senate. It was not until he had nowhere else to go, cut loose, the Jedi not giving a damn about him, that he saw the full extent of what the Jedi had done.
For so many years, he had just ignored his former slaves, and he had let them suffer.
And for what?
To appease a bunch of self-serving fools, and a Senate that was so corrupt they had allowed the Sith to take power and brainwash them into bringing in the Sith's new Empire.
But the truth of the matter was Anakin could never have done what the Jedi wanted. He needed attachments, his life had shaped who he was and if there was one thing slaves needed it was family. The Daughter had felt Anakin's pain and grief during the whole meeting with his loved ones, and it was clear to her that the Jedi had made too many mistakes, and their beliefs made her feel that the Jedi was no longer the bastion of light they had once been. The Jedi had once understood the need for balance, with the Prime Jedi, the original member of the Order channelling his anger and aggression which made him teeter over the edge of the divide that separated the Light and the Dark Side.
The Prime Jedi understood the need for balance, and he had tried to teach his students the same lessons. Unfortunately, they had failed to understand the need for those lessons now.
That was one of the reasons behind their approval of Anakin's desire to either reform the Jedi or end it completely. Like the Prime Jedi, Anakin understood the need for the Light and the Dark. While the Father, the Daughter, and the Son understood the issues with attachment, some of them well founded, they knew to completely ignore the concept was a bad idea.
The Daughter just knew Anakin planned to do something drastic against both the Sith and the Jedi. She only hoped he thought the consequences out properly.
She considered her growing infatuation with Anakin. He was different from what she'd expected and she hoped they became happy.
