A/N: Another recent update for this story due to the explosion of activity with the last update.

The blue lines I had grown accustomed to for the past few days vanished in a split second and the corvette ripped into the space above Tython, the lost birthplace of the Jedi Order with the collapse of several hyperspace routes. From the upper reaches of the jungle word's atmosphere you could make out the dense foliage and fauna that stretched almost completely over the entire world only jagged peaks of mountain ranges slicing through the forests interrupted the jungle's path.

The corvette lurched and shuddered as the tongues of flames due to atmospheric entry began to cloak the hull in orange light. The clouds whizzed by and the ship screeched and groaned as the flames scorched the durasteel plates protecting the ship's internals.

I gripped Ashoka's seat as the corvette veered off course abruptly breaking the thick shroud of clouds and fog to glance off a massive tree and Ashoka fiddled with the controls in a panic trying to seize some control over the spiraling vessel, plummeting into the thick tangle of vines. Aayla quickly shut off and reactivated the thrusters regaining some control and steered the ship up over the treetops smashing into the underbelly of the corvette.

I spotted the moss covered turrets of the ancient Temple sticking out of a ravine sliced deep into the crest of a mountain. The Temple seemed to be in good condition despite the millennia of withstanding the elements. The dome over the atrium had fallen into disarray and vines now poured in from edges of the craters. The Corvette flew low over the Temple spotting blight in the trees and the corvette settled into the long blades of grass. Ashoka activated the landing ramp and the ramp descended from the belly of the ship.

Shaak and Obi-wan followed me closely their lightsabers held unlit cautiously in their grasp as they scanned around the Temple grounds. I crossed the grass staring in awe at the abandoned Temple before us. Ashoka ducked as a bird fluttered past her face and vanished into a nearby tree.

Obi-wan chuckled as she cursed in Huttese under her breath and picked up her pace to catch up with me. I walked across the stone bridge to cross the narrow stream jutting through the landscape and pressed my left hand firmly against the warped and weathered doors and they creaked up loudly the hinges rusted and unlubricated. I activated my lightsaber to ward off the shadows pressing in at every side. Obi-wan, Shaak, Aayla, and Ashoka activated theirs as well allowing colored light to completely flood our surroundings. I spotted the silhouette of a banister on each side of the room knowing it must be the way up to the second floor.

Ashoka headed down a flight of steps cautiously entering the corridor and peering through open doors as she delved deeper into the Temple. Ashoka pressed open a door with wood trim boxing in a sheet of crystal and the doors flew open to reveal what unmistakably had to be the Council chambers. Dimly-lit lights illuminated the room still flickering around the chairs the last of the diatum power cells finally depleting. Obi-wan entered a room with cables and wires completely obscuring the floor, walls, and ceilings and keyed in a sequence into a control panel. The power rumbled back to life the energy cells flaring up deactivated from years of the Temple's abandonment.

Aayla stood motionless in the entrance hall her eyes scanning over the faded walls the paintings slightly torn in places. Shaak returned to her side from the second floor, leaping down over the banister. "The place looks structurally sound," she said, "It will serve its use as a base of operations."

Aayla whirled around her two blue and green lightsabers activating with a snap-hiss whirling on the open doors at her back. Shaak activated her own light blue blade and watched the door intently, "I feel it too," she said taking up a defensive position beside Aayla. Flesh-raiders burst into the room armed with blasters and vibroblades and charged the two Jedi Masters. Shaak lunged impaling the chieftain armed with dual swords and ripped it free the alien collapsing with wisps of steam rising from the lethal wound. Aayla parried the attacks of two Flesh Raiders and decapitated both of them with a flick of the wrist. A Flesh Raider chuckled peering in through the door and Aayla frowned trying to sense its plans. A metallic sphere rolled into the room a red light flickering on its side, "Grenade!" shouted Shaak lashing out with the Force to throw it out the front doors.

The Flesh Raiders squealed with surprise and dove free as the grenade exploded killing several Flesh Raiders instantly and crippling six more. Shaak sprinted out the front doors and fell upon the survivors cutting each and every one of them down with grace. Aayla walked out the doors still on the defensive, searching for any further danger through the Force.

"Those must have been the Flesh Raiders described in the ancient texts that constantly caused trouble for the Jedi during the times of the Old Republic," said Aayla. Shaak turned to her, "Didn't the texts mention something about a Twi'lek settlement nearby?" she asked lost in thought. "Yes, I remember a few mentionings about them. If they are still here then that would most likely cut the need to leave Tython so we could purchase food and spare supplies from them," replied Aayla. They headed back inside to find Ashoka, Obi-wan and myself waiting for their return.

"What happened?" asked Ashoka her lightsabers ready. "Just some Flesh Raiders causing trouble," said Shaak, "It's no matter at the moment. Aayla and I remember in the ancient texts something about a Twi'lek settlement near the Temple. If the pilgrimage still exists then we could get the majority of our supplies from there to reduce the need for offworld trips."

Obi-wan hesitated before speaking, "Even if the pilgrimage is still there we don't know their feelings towards our Order, besides their technology is thousands of years old and have fallen behind with the galaxy long forgotten by the Republic."

"It's still worth a try if anything," said Ashoka.

I nodded in silent agreement my eyes lost in the never-ending sky to the galaxy beyond. Obi-wan's calm gaze fixated on me, "Anakin," he called softly, "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yes," I said quickly trying to avoid further conversation on the matter with no success. I turned away and headed inside eager to find something to fix to take my mind off of things. R2 rolled out of the electrical chamber, chirping eagerly to me about repairing every circuit and node that provided power to every part of the ancient Temple. I felt a tremor in the Force calling to me and I turned the call of the Force guiding me towards the Council chambers.

Lights illuminated every inch of the ornate chamber and the smooth, stone seats that had housed Jedi Masters for centuries had fallen abdicated. I rounded another obelisk that was oddly similar to the strange carving in the center of the Council chambers on Coruscant. I let my hand pass over the chiseled gray stone and a torrent of images flooded into me. The sacking of Coruscant by the Sith Empire and the tabooed fear lurking in the walls of the Temple as the Jedi sought refuge here.

I flinched recoiling from the rock spotting what must have been unmistakably Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi Master back during the times of the Old Republic. I remembered her being the granddaughter of Bastila Shan from holodisks in the Coruscanti Temple Archives.

Satele sat in the her seat directly in front of me not one hint of emotion on her face, "You have endured a great deal of suffering Skywalker, but you must press on forward a great evil is lurking in the shadows coiled to strike at any moment."

"B-But Palpatine is dead," I stammered completely caught off guard by the hopes of peace being shredded and tossed aside like a rag. "The darkness is unknown to me. I foresaw its coming a great time ago. I knew the Chosen One prophesized had to be the conqueror over this evil. Your role as the guardian of light has much more to it than just claiming the title of vanquisher of the Sith," Satele said impassively.

"Who or what is endangering the Republic?! I-I can't do anything if I don't know what's coming at us," I said slightly panicking. My mental hold over my emotions beginning to slip out of my control.

Satele faded away into nothingness and I felt the distant call of the Force vanish into thin air. I turned to head back out to the entrance hall but found myself not alone. The color instantly paled from my face, my skin a ghastly white. Padme stood motionless in the center of the chamber staring into my eyes with a distant look. I took a few steps forward my hand reaching out to touch her, "P-Padme?!" Y-You're dead!" I stuttered on the verge of tears.

She recoiled away from me as if from a venomous snake and shrieked at me, "YOU DIDN"T SAVE ME ANI! YOU LET ME DIE JUST LIKE YOU LET YOUR MOTHER DIE! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME ENOUGH TO SAVE ME."

I dropped to my knees flinching at every word as if it was a fierce strike to my face. Padme vanished, disappearing behind the obelisk and I dropped to the floor curling up into a ball, the tears flowing like a river the grief flooding out of my body and soul. Obi-wan burst into the room feeling my distress and his hands slipped comfortingly around me in a tight embrace trying to calm me down.

I slipped my arms around him my nose nuzzled into the side of his neck the fingers of my left hand curling up into the orange locks of hair I had grown to love so much. "W-Why did she have to die?" I asked, choking back a sob with little success, a strangled cry rumbling out of my throat.

"I don't know Anakin," said Obi-wan soothingly his hands holding me close. I blinked away the stream of tears and gazed up into his eyes lost in their rich depths. The remainder of a tear dripped from my eyelashes and splattered onto the floor. I leaned up crashing my lips against his tightly, needing him more than ever. Obi-wan hesitated, taken by surprise but instantly melted into the kiss. His tongue parted my lips dominating my mouth in one swift movement.

I leaned back lying on the floor and Obi-wan straddled my waist, discarding his cloak. I slipped out of the soft black silk prison clothing me and my arms cupped the back of his neck pulling him in for more. In that one moment, my grief was washed away into some dark recess of my being. Only my utter carnal desire for Obi-wan and my immense love for him was all that remained.

Obi-wan let his calloused hands glide down my chiseled frame stopping at the hem of my leggings the only remaining article of clothing on my body. Obi-wan slid his leggings off bare to the world save for his light blue boxer briefs covering his prick from view.

I lashed out with the Force sealing the chambers before rolling on top of Obi-wan and planting a series of light kisses from his naval up to his jawline. My tongue slipped out of my soft lips and traced up his masculine jawline, tickled by his copper-colored beard and teased his right ear earning the prize of a sharp intake of breath from Obi-wan. Obi-wan let his hands slide down my muscled body and fiercely yanked down my leggings and kicked them off of me along with his boots.

My hands fondled his crotch clinging at the satin-like fabric and traced the outline of his growing arousal. Obi-wan's cock twitched slightly from the sudden attention. Obi-wan leaned up and kissed me passionately, his tongue passing between my lips and explored my mouth eagerly.

I moaned lightly into his mouth the sound resonating through both of us and I slid his boxer briefs down his legs almost to the knees releasing his rock-hard dick from its pitched tent. Obi-wan grinned slyly at me as I kissed and licked every inch of skin down his chest to his navel, blatantly being a tease before finally reaching the base of the shaft.

I pumped his prick a few times for good measure before leaning over his engorged head and sliding his dick in my mouth part way and began to suck and slid further Obi-wan's ginger beast down my throat with each pass as I bobbed my head up and down, eager to please my Master.

Obi-wan threw his head back his copper hair flying into his face and moaned from the attention, "Ahh fuck Ani!" he whimpered as I slid his cock in further. My eyebrows rose at the sudden use of my nickname, having never heard it uttered from those lips before.

Obi-wan began to buck his hips gently forcing more of him in. I completely took his member into my mouth, deepthroating him, feeling his copper pubes tickling my face.

Obi-wan let out a fit of strangled cries of pleasure clenching his eyes shut as I slid his cock in and out of my mouth repeatedly. I finally drew off of him and wiped my mouth free of any saliva dripping from it and stood up sliding out of my own underwear and laid on my stomach as Obi-wan crawled over to me lubing up his fingers.

I raised my hips and he slipped his middle finger inside me, sliding it deeper inside as gently as possible. I still winced from the intrusion of another but not as much pain came from it as much as it used too. Obi-wan pushed a second finger inside and began to lightly scissor his fingers inside me widening my pink asshole for the girth of his cock.

I moaned as his fingers began to come closer to my prostate and he entered a third earning a slightly pained hiss from me and he widened my ass a little more before deeming it ready and pulled his fingers out. I braced myself as I felt his head brushing my Tatooine sun-kissed skin and he slid inside slowly at first, completely burying his member inside of me.

I moaned faintly and he continued pulling nearly completely out of me before pushing back in. His movements became rhythmic and almost synchronized as I began to buck backwards onto his cock a little eager for his presence inside of me. Obi-wan grunted as he slid even further in and brushed my prostate earning a husky groan from me. Obi-wan thrusted in me again earning another groan, which drove him crazy. He rammed my prostate again and again earning louder moans each time. I began to see white flecks clouding my vision and closed my eyes feeling my climax drawing closer by the seconds. Obi-wan rammed in and out of me faster and a lot harder now. Our moans mingled together in strangled cries incohesive to one another, forming our own little sex symphony.

Obi-wan grunted and pulled out of me felling us coming close and he leaned over me placing both hands near my head before reaching down towards my prominent erection and began to jerk me off. I moaned and cried out his name loudly before releasing my seed all over his hand and our chests in jets of white spray. Obi-wan grinned at me while panting and finally jerked himself off and sprayed his own seed all over my chest and face. Obi-wan rose still naked and unlocked the door before peering down the hall and streaked across the hall completely naked and retrieved two towels before returning to the ancient Council chambers and handed one to me.

I toweled myself off the sweet scent of sex still lingering in the air. Obi-wan slid on his boxers and leggings before ruffling his hair a little and slid his tunic back over his head along with his cloak. He turned to find me already clothed now and reaching down to retrieve my abandoned lightsaber. I clipped it to my belt and wrapped my arm around him and we walked out warmly but a thought still lingered in the back of my head despite the warmness inside me. Satele's words still haunted me which caused me to wonder the darkness lingering in the unknown fringes of the galaxy. What could it be? Another Sith Lord? Something worse?

Anakin snapped back to the present from his thoughts as Shaak raced towards them with fear rolling off of her. "I just scanned over the Holonet and Alderaan has just been occupied by a fleet of unknown warships!" she cried.

Obi-wan's eyes widened at the news, "What?!" he responded with equal fear.

I uttered loud enough for them both to hear me, "The danger Satele warned me about in my premonition."

"Satele?" asked Obi-wan.

"Satele Shan," replied Shaak Ti, "Grand Master of the Jedi millennia ago."

"Yes, she warned me about a hidden darkness threatening to destroy the Republic," I replied.

"The Sith?" asked Shaak.

I shrugged my shoulders, "She wouldn't say," I said.

"Obi-wan glanced between us both, "Only time will tell," he said slightly frowning.
