Luke was surrounded in darkness and for a moment he almost wanted to be a part of it. Then a small orb of light approached him. Luke watched in awe as it came to him.
"Hello?" Luke wasn't entirely sure what to do or say. The orb brightens at the sound of his voice and it went backwards.
"Do you want me to follow you?" Luke titled in his head in question. Luke watched as the orb floating around him and went off into the distance. Luke followed. As he followed the orb, he felt cold and then he realized why and he stop pursuing the orb. The orb sensing Luke had stop, came back to the young man.
"I don't want to face him again" Luke said quietly to the orb. "How can I? All those years of wondering and dreaming of what kind of man my father could have been and…" Luke looked at his artificial hand and flexed it. He can still feel the lightsaber cutting through and the pain.
"Turned out he's a monster" Luke closed his eyes sadly. "A monster that slaughter millions and –"
"Then destroy me"
Luke open his eyes and there was Darth Vader standing in front of him.
"No" Luke walked backwards. "I can't"
"Luke, come to me" Vader reached out to him. "Learn the ways of the Dark Side, it is your destiny"
"What do you know of my destiny?!" Luke cried out. "I control my own destiny not you!"
"Yes" Vader approached closer to Luke. "Use your anger, use it against me"
Luke shook his head but remain firmly in place.
"My son it is your destiny!"
"Don't call me that!" Luke shouted "Stand away from me!" But Vader approached closer and the darkness threaten to engulf Luke. As Vader's hand was about to grab Luke, light appeared from it and Luke looked at the light puzzled at why it was there. The light shined within Darth Vader darkness and Luke reached out for it. As he touched the light, memories belong to someone else appeared to Luke. In the memories, he saw an old woman mom hugging him goodbye. Then experienced grief at his mom's death. Glimpses of long hair and stolen moments with a young woman who's face Luke could never see. A promise to love and protect. And that promise was taken advantage by a great darkness.
"Father" Luke realized who the memories belong to. "Before Darth Vader, you were Anakin Skywalker, my father" Luke opened his eyes and he was once again in the lush green world he usually dreamed of. The orb of light reappeared itself in front of Luke and danced around him before heading off into the distance.
"Father, I know what my destiny is" Luke stared after the orbs as it disappeared into the horizon. "My destiny is to bring you back to the lightside of the Force. I will not fail you father"
