The legend of Zenith Quarhorn star wars the clone wars part 2
My mind was spinning as I fell I screamed in pain as my body felt so different my wings seemed to completely vanish I couldn't feel them. I panicked slightly as I felt memory's flood my mind who was I becoming would I ever remember where I came from who I was or even why I traveled?
I could fell the links I made with my friends even my teacher soul all fade and diminish as they where executed one by one. the pain I felt was only numbed by my pure rage and their screams of pain. "I shouted as I felt my very life force being altered my magic leaving my blood. Was I to become a human? I felt my mind alter further as my new memories took on me.
I shouted in pure rage as my mind seemed to shatter and I feel asleep.
I was Zenith quarhorn A orphan. My best friend was Anikan sky walker. when the jedi's ship landed and the master won Anikans freedom. I managed find him to say good bye to him one last time. However when the jedi saw me they said I was destined to come with them that I could feel the force and it flowed strongly in me.
So I joined them and I became a apprentice then a padawan. I showed potential in the art of combat but my force skills where lacking. Last night me and anakin spent the entire night talking about what we learned and caught up more since he had been busy with master obi wan.
I awoke from my bed tired from last night with Anakin. I was happy to find someone near my age sure I was only 8 and he was 9 but we where great friends we would train with each other Anakin seemed to be what was called the chosen one. I accepted that he may be better than me but for some reason when we dueled with training sabers his master obi one would always encourage me to try harder but I never wanted to hurt my friend I would be block his attacks mostly till he became exhausted. On lookers where amazed at the fact I was just a simple human as was Anakin but I was able to keep up with him.
As the years went by I was almost forgotten by the masters they suggested I become a librarian or a different position then a Jedi knight.
I would tell Anakin of my dreams of faraway lands where I was a master of combat and an enforcer to the weak and protected my home and even was a prince. I smiled a lot when I was with him he was the only real friend I had everyone else thought I was either to weak or doomed to fail but not Anakin he stayed around regardless and he always smiled and laughed at my dreams.
As time pasted I see less and less of Anakin between his training with his master and such a thing I did not have well I did have a master but he was a very poor master or at least teacher. He was a Jedi knight but he offend was missing every single day busy doing more impending matters then attending to me or teaching me.
It was my birthday my 12 birthday to be exact and it was a day I never forget.
I awoke from my dreams hearing a voice "you are so much stronger let your power out embrace your strength don't hide from it in fear reach out and use the force let it flow through you clear your mind and open your eyes and see for the first time." I was scared I ran from my room in hopes for finding anyone who could help me I saw Anakin and his master.
I was in tears and his master saw me and a look of concern spread on his face as he kneeled down "Whats wrong Zenith?" I almost shouted "am hearing voices they aren't my own and they are telling me riddles things I don't understand am afraid it's trying to corrupt me!"
Obi wan was shocked he told Anakin to follow us and he went to see the Jedi masters. "Masters we have a problem this boy seems to been hearing voices I know some of use can hear thoughts of others but these voices seem to talk directly to him."
Yoda looked at me and nodded "very good you have done. Brought this boy you have. Now what is it you hear?" I was shacking slightly afraid it was shown in my eyes.
"Its about embracing the force am not sure who the voice is thought."
Yoda just nodded "I suggest you follow this voice. A guide per phase it is try hard you must to resist any temptation you may feel."
I nodded and walked away outside of the room I grabbed my head in slight pain I could hear what they where saying on the other side of the door.
"Master Yoda did you feel it the force in him seemed to just flourish with in him it was a slight change but it was still there."
I ran afraid of being caught listen in I made my way to the library and attempted to mediate. "close your eyes and open your mind let your true potential flow through you let it build and grow as you do and you shall be a that what you seek a true Jedi. Don't be afraid of me I am a friend a guide. we are your friend I was your friend consider this a final gift."
I was still visibly afraid but I closed my eyes and tried to relax. I felt a great power build in me and crave to be released but I suppressed it and tried to control it. "don't fear yourself let it go and let it be one with you."
I tried to hold back this energy inside of me but I failed and I felt it overwhelm me consume me and flow throughout my body I was scared by nothing happened I was still the same I sighed in relief. I stood up and smiled it was all over the voice everything I felt happy and relieved and a little silly getting worked up for nothing.
I started to look around for Anakin to see if we could play hooky from his training and possibly manage to actually act our age for a change. After searching for a while I saw a group of kids following him laughing a little bit when he tried and failed his task of lifting a few books with the force. I was upset that they where messing him up. After all I seen him do it many times so I knew Anakin could in fact do it maybe he didn't do well under peer pressure.
I ran over to them faster then I thought I could I noticed obi wan was nowhere to be seen. "Hey leave him alone" The group of kids just laughed at me "Oh what are you going to do about it." " yea you're the failure why don't you just…" I was so upset I could feel my anger and sadness radiating off of me the kids seem to take a step back I took a step forward "what out of insults come on call me a failure am done taking it from you. Even if I failed at least I tried unlike most of you" I shouted. They seemed to be very afraid of me now "what lost your nerve?" I shouted. They just pointed behind me. I turned to see to my surprise a few chairs and tables floating around me I blinked and tried to relax and they all came crashing to the floor in a mess. I gulped and looked ashamed I let my anger get the better of me and even scared others and part of me enjoyed it.
I turned and walked out silent the kids trying to calm down. I was soon stopped by Anakin "Zenith wait.." I stopped I didn't dare turn my face I was to afraid of hurting Anakin or worse him seeing me so hurt and close to tears. "what?" I asked shakily.
"Thank you stood up for me yes you got upset but we are still young don't let it get to you we are only human after all. I never knew you held back so much. Why did you hold back?" I turned so he could see my face. I was a little calmer but still down a little.
"Honestly I don't know it just well happened today I just woke up and felt different. The voice I heard just went away after I stopped suppressing the force I guess I was so afraid of using it I feel kind of silly about it honestly."
Anakin just smiled a bit "well don't worry about it am sure your master will be pleased…Why have I never seen him?"
I sighed "well he is kind of busy so he says to busy for me that why I always meditating or dueling I had to train myself."
Anakin frowned a bit "Don't worry am sure things will get better"
I just nodded and soon saw Anakin leave being called away by his master.
I could focus and actually hear them "I don't know why you're so found of that boy. He is an odd one I worry about you being around him"
"He is my friend master and he deserves a friend"
"That may be but that's not you I don't want him causing you to slack off or get into trouble anymore. Don't go near him anymore."
I felt anger and sadness from master obi wan words I was hurt beyond belief it wasn't my fault I was like this. it's who I am. So what if I get into to trouble or goofed off from time to time its not like I had anything else to do."
I tried to hold back my tears but my master appeared behind me. "Zenith why haven't you finished polishing my light sabers." I turned to him the rage in my eyes. For the first time I see him in days he asks me to polish a light saber. I clenched my fist. "How dare you show your face to me and treat me like a slave am no slave to you!" I shouted loud enough I heard obi wan walking to me.
"I haven't learned little more than the basic styles of combat or mediation form you and you abandon me everyday. Now you come to me expecting me to help you. No I won't help you never again. "
My master just smiled a bit and raised his hand and slapped me "you will do as I say boy."
I felt so angry I reached out with the force I felt it as if second nature and grabbed his saber into my hand. I activated the blade and got in a stance. My master was shocked a bit but was clearly upset drawing another saber. "put it down now boy before I take your hand"
I felt so angry and scared I shook my head. His saber clashed with mine as other students and jedi rushed to us to try and stop the fight. I was knocked back a bit from his sheer strength but I knew I had another option beside saber combat. I reached out with my hand and felt the force break through his barrier lifting him off the ground. I smiled as he struggled against my grip on him I waved my hand and sent him flying into a pillar. His body broke through the pillar and I dropped my saber I was shocked I meant to stun him or get him away from me.
"That's enough!" master mace windew shouted. I looked scared but he sighed at my now knocked out teacher. "Zenith how did you possible do that?" I shook my head "I don't know I was just so scared he hurt me again I panicked am so sorry I."
"Its okay Zenith you deserved better than him he will be expelled from the order if I have anything to say about it. Not only was he not teaching you but he had the audacity to attack you and threaten your life in the middle of the library."
I looked at him "who will teach me then am I in trouble?"
Mace windew just smiled a bit "You defended yourself in all honesty I doubt much will be do you may have more work to do but I promise you this you will have a true teacher from hear on am so sorry this happened now go get some sleep."
I nodded and headed to bed I was glad this birthday had been a truly remarkable one even if no one knew it was my birthday.
