As the group of Potter and Lily came closer and closer to where Severus stood, he decided to lower his head, cover himself with the hood of his black cloak and pass unseen.

He didn't want to bother talking to them.

He finally passed Sirius, Potter, Peter, and Lily without them noticing, but just happened to bump into the one he least wanted to.

'Bloody hell' Severus cursed Remus Lupin for crossing his path.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't see you, my mistake," apologised Lupin, lowering his head apologetically towards the hooded man in front of him.

It was then that Severus raised his head to look at him and Remus Lupin was surprised.

"No problem Remus, it's a pleasure to see you here," said Severus a little amused at Remus' surprised face.

Severus hadn't planned on interacting with the group, he wanted to leave alone quietly without attracting their attention, but apparently, his plan wasn't good enough, again, very stupid of him to be so careless.

But he didn't plan on hiding from them either, it wasn't his style, and he didn't like to run away from trouble.

"I'm not sure I can say the same, Snape," Lupin hissed, giving him a cold stare.

Severus grimaced and ignoring the look Remus had given him, he prepared to go on his way without giving the matter any more thought.

"What did you say Lunatic?" asked Potter suddenly confused turning around to look at Lupin.

"He said he's Snivellus, he must be with his death eater friends" Peter muttered and accused with a smirk as he slowly walked away until he was behind the group in case there was trouble.

Lily who heard that looked puzzled at where Lupin was.

"What, where?" asked a confused Sirius, as he tried to find Severus among the people in the vicinity.

Severus sighed at his bad luck and Sirius' idiocy, he calmly turned to look at them.

"Oh, but it is Potter and his gang, why am I not surprised to find you all together?" said Severus mockingly.

Lily just watched Severus for a few seconds and then turned her face away because she didn't want to have direct contact with him.

When the whole group saw that it was Severus, they wasted no time and pulled out their wands.

"Come on, don't be stupid, this isn't Hogwarts, I wouldn't recommend you to be so reckless," Severus hissed disdainfully giving them a cold stare.

He didn't like being held at gunpoint, and the wand was a weapon, powerful and dangerous.

Only Lupin and Peter thought about it and lowered their wands.

But Potter and Black kept pointing at him and looking at him as if he was a threat, an enemy.

"Prong, Padfoot, calm down boys, he's right, no good will come of a public confrontation. As soon as you cast the first spell, we'll be knee deep in Aurors," informed Lupin trying to talk some sense into his group to see if they would react to the consequences.

While Peter just watched and waited to see what would happen next.

Lily gritted her teeth but said nothing, she didn't want to intervene for Severus like before.

"At least one of you thinks with that little head of yours, I would recommend you listen to Remus, he's the only one who uses his brain," Severus joked again but his gaze said otherwise, his deep, cold, black eyes had every intention of teaching Potter and his group a lesson if they ever did anything.

Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She folded her arms and pressed them against her chest.

"James...? Please, you promised not to fight," Lily said to Potter, still unwilling to look at Severus.

That seemed to calm Potter down a little.

"I know Lily, I won't do anything rash, for now, stay away, it could be dangerous, staying behind," Potter replied, though he was already planning to recite a spell.

"Dangerous you say, how funny you are Potter when you are the ones attacking me four against one and I haven't even pulled out my wand yet!" Severus grimaced at his impudence.

"You...!" Potter waved his wand as if he was going to cast a spell at him and Severus was eager for him to try it.

Severus just needed a reason to teach Potter a lesson and then he could claim it was self-defence.

"James, please!" cried Lily sadly.

"You promised you wouldn't fight or prank Severus if I went out with you. And yesterday was only the first time we went out and it's not even a proper date. Is this how it's always going to be? Insults? Wandings at ten paces? Dueling at dawn?" added Lily angrily not realising that she said it was a date and not just a meal.

That hurt Severus a little, it was supposed to be just a dinner, but as he had imagined, it seemed that she in her head also considered it a date, as did James Potter.

Severus kept his gaze cold on Lily when she said that, she seemed to notice and looked at him for a few moments, but she looked away before he could even get a good look at her.

He looked down with a mixture of feelings, sadness, annoyance, exhaustion, and resignation.

Severus sighed and looked up again, but now there was a great coldness in his black eyes, one that would make the hair on the back of anyone's neck stand on end who looked into his eyes.

This was goodbye for Severus.

'No, Lily said goodbye a long time ago' Severus said to himself with a grimace as he looked coldly at Potter and his group.

Severus this time saw and heard all he needed to.

Lily was no different to any other teenage girl, she liked men like James Potter, but he just wasn't for her.

Or maybe he was the right person at the wrong time, she was still too young and obviously, she couldn't like someone like him, so she'd better tell him 'goodbye'.

"Huh, better not pull out your wand Snivy" Potter relaxed and thought more about his idea to cast a spell when he heard Lily, but he still warned Severus, even though he didn't like the look he was giving them.

Everyone in the Potter group hated it when Severus looked at them like that, those black eyes always managed to make them feel a little intimidated and in danger.

Severus didn't care about the warning, he didn't even really pay attention to it, he was just waiting to see how things would develop, if they attacked, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a good lesson, one they wouldn't forget.

"Tell us what you're doing here, Snivellus?" demanded Sirius scornfully as he pointed his wand at him.

Sirius knew that just around the corner lay a dark, twisting alleyway devoted to the Dark Arts, Knockturn Alley, and he also knew that Severus used to go there with Lucius Malfoy.

The whole Potter gang had always hated Severus for his horrible friendships and dark tendencies, but since last year when Snape insulted Lily Evans, that hatred had become more pronounced in all of them.

"Hmm... Yeah, listen, that only concerns me. Or do I have to explain to you what I do in my private life in Diagon Alley, Black?" Severus sneered again but increasingly irritated.

"Evading the question, you haven't just come from buying something darker from Knockturn Alley...? Oh right, aren't you already part of the death eaters, excited to be a murderer like You-Know-Who?" accused Potter.

Peter nodded vigorously at the comment.

While Remus and Lily decided not to comment on the matter.

Severus could have simply killed him for telling lies, but there was one great truth and that was that he did buy an object that was considered dark, plus like Darth Vader, he was a murderer, whether he wanted to admit it or not, Severus could not deny what he had done.

"That's for sure Jamesy. Hmph, it would have been nice to never have to see you again Snivy," Sirius commented dryly with his wand still pointed at him.

"As I said, my private life is none of your business and I really don't care what you like or dislike, Balck or should I stop calling you that?" smirked Severus.

"Oh, right, I forgot, your brother Regulus told me that once you finish your fifth year at Hogwarts you will be disinherited. I congratulate you on your early exit from the Black family," Severus added, smiling coldly, he was already a little tired and grumpy.

These idiots were accusing him in public of being associated with Voldemort and everyone knew who You-Know-Who was, they were just causing him even more trouble.

And that irritated Severus.

Sirius got angry at the mention of his family and walked towards Snape, bringing his wand close to Snape's neck.

"Shut up! You'd better not speak or..."

"Or what?" asked Severus amused at what Sirius was going to do, he wasn't the least bit afraid, he had so many ways to incapacitate Black and everyone else, they were nothing but mediocre wizards in his eyes.

Severus could see all the weaknesses in Sirius and it was incredibly easy for him to exploit them even with this weak body.

He may be very weak but Severus is not incapacitated, with his knowledge alone he is capable of dealing with arrogant bullies with no real combat experience.

Besides, they weren't at Hogwarts now, Dumbledore couldn't protect Potter and his party.

All it took was one move from Sirius and Severus would cut off his bloody hand.

"Sirius! That's enough, no more fighting!" an alarmed girl's voice called out to him, it was Lily who had grown tired of looking sideways and doing nothing.

Sirius turned in surprise.

A swirl of red hair, sparkling emerald eyes, and a scowl appeared right behind him.

Lily Evans looked at him disapprovingly and made their disagreement in a fight quite clear.

Sirius finally lowered his wand and took a step back, but still glared hatefully at Snape.

While Severus could only sigh in disappointment, he was eager to teach him a lesson but as his Master used to say:

'One must learn tolerance and also begin to set an example. A Jedi is responsible for the consequences of his actions, so when faced with an opponent, never attack first. Only attack when it is absolutely necessary to do so and then your intention is not to kill but only to defend yourself or another. If he continues, you may adopt an attitude that shows him that it would be best to desist' Severus reminded Obi-Wan teachings.

"Leave it Padfoot, Snivellus isn't worth it, besides you're part of my family now," Potter told him when he saw Lily's expression, but he kept pointing his wand at Snape in case he did anything.

"Be thankful that we're in public. Don't expect it to always be the same," Sirius hissed threateningly before turning away from Severus completely.

"Be thankful...? I would have enjoyed seeing you try to do something," Severus said with a cold stare, he really wanted Sirius to do something so he could stand up for himself.

He had promised to change, so he couldn't be like before and attack first, he needed a good reason, but sadly that didn't happen.

And sadly resentment wasn't a good reason to attack him.

Vader spent too much time thinking about his mistakes to keep repeating them.

"What's wrong with you, Merlin, can't you see that you're not helping...!" started to say Lily in anger at his attitude, but she couldn't finish speaking because Severus intervened.

"Look, I don't give a damn what you think. If it weren't for the fact that a part of me still loves you, you wouldn't matter to me in the slightest. In fact, I think it's ridiculous that I could feel such things for a woman like you," Severus said with annoyance.

He hated feeling his heart pounding so hard for Lily, he really wanted this part of Snape's soul to leave him alone, his bloody obsession was throwing him off balance.

"Now I don't care if you like the idea or not. You'll just have to live with it... Oh and by the way, keep ignoring me, you've been doing it perfectly until now, it's quite annoying to feel my heart beating every time you talk to me or come near me so stay away from me, I have no interest in your company, now go to your group of friends..."

"...I've finished my business here. Oh, and nice to see you again after all," Severus said coldly and not wanting to bother waiting for a response from her.

He was tired of always being the one criticized and he was tired of feeling his body react to Lily Evans, it had to stop.

"Goodbye Lily, be happy" Severus finished and disappeared without giving Lily or the Potter gang time to say anything.

Severus immediately disappeared in front of all of them, he had learned about apparition a while ago.

He didn't have an apparition licence yet, this was only because he learned it on his own and before the age required to get a licence, but he didn't think anyone in the Ministry would cause him much trouble for that, especially now that there was a war going on in the British magical world.

Severus reappeared near a secluded spot in the Forbidden Forest.

This place used to be where Severus used to escape from Hogwarts to practice his magic or just be quiet.

It was like his second home, one where he could be apart from everyone, his parents, Dumbledore, Potter...

Severus decided to vent his anger, he pulled out his sword and began to train.

But he immediately realised that his control was very weak, his connection to the Force was almost nil.

And his sword training needed the Force and for that, he had no use for his wand.

Severus knew he had no other options, so he began to meditate to connect with the Force.

Immediately and automatically, the dark side of the Force, which seemed to have a strong connection with this body, intervened.

The dark side began to try to fill Severus' mind.

Everything bad that Severus went through began to come to him, his past as Anakin Skywalker and his biggest mistake as Darth Vader began to seep into him.

But luckily he as Darth Vader had spent too much time in the Force to think and reflect on everything that happened.

Vader was able to regret and understand many things, he no longer had any more grudges against himself as Darth Vader, he already had a goal in mind and those painful memories would not distract him from his goals.

That was how Severus managed to overcome the dark side's attempt to make him fall into darkness.

But the dark side did not give up and tried one last time, this time it was not with his memories and pains like Anakin or Vader, no, it was with those of the young Severus.

And the problem with these memories was that he had never thought much about them, he just kept them aside and now they were taking their toll on him.

The dark side took advantage of this to make him remember all the pain and all the things he still hadn't resolved like Snape, focusing on the biggest obsession of him... Lily Evans.

'And it had to be her again,' Severus cursed himself irritably.

Severus tried to calm himself and recover his composure, he had been through this before and he had to take control of his meditation.

'Lily has every bloody right to do what she wants and so do I' Severus said to himself.

'But even if I know that... it's not going to stop hurting and bothering me' Severus thought annoyed.

A part of him wanted to cry and let himself fall into darkness.

"Lily... her' Severus started to say between cuts and stumbling for a moment after remembering what had happened.

The memories and flashbacks of everything that happened came rushing back and he couldn't help but want to cry.

"Why...?" he whispered a question with his eyes burning with fresh tears.

Severus controlled his breathing and his thoughts, he had to succeed in meditation now or then it would only get harder and harder, he couldn't escape the situation.

Besides, he never escapes.

Severus waited until he caught his breath and settled his thoughts, but he was still sobbing slightly.

Finally, he recovered and resumed his meditation, his emotions reeling slightly but slowly regaining stability.

The pain was fading a little, the pain leaving him little by little.

There were several thoughts in his head at the moment, and not all of them were entirely his own.

"Yes, Lily went off with that Potter, but you don't need to be a snivelling about it!" were some of the words running through his head.

Maybe the thoughts were his own, but he knew it was his as-Vader that was telling him this, he knew it because his as-Snape still wanted to cry and scream.

That part of him as Snape wanted to lie down and cry over the loss of Lily, but these thoughts as Vader wouldn't let him...

Vader had logical, harsh, and hard thoughts that made him reconsider things, something he intended to do.

It was quite disturbing to know that a part of him just wanted to cry like the young man he was, but another part of him refused to be weak, refused to do something meaningless like crying, this part of him was yelling at him to do something about it, to be strong, to fight.

Yes... it was worrying, but Severus wasn't really worried about this, he had too many things on his mind to add another worry.

"Crying won't do me any good," Severus whispered to himself, chuckling slightly at the knowledge that he was being swayed by the memories of his Vader self.

But he hoped that doing so would help him, the memories of a man who had lived 23 years in a world at war and gone through so much had to have more validity than a 16-year-old who just wanted to cry and be consumed by the dark side.

Well... it should be noted that Darth Vader also made countless mistakes, but he was still much more trustworthy than the current 16-year-old Severus Snape.

For now, he would just trust that by doing what his Vader self would do, he could overcome this situation and succeed in his meditation.

So Severus suppressed his sadness and his anger.

'Well..., that was pathetic of me, losing my head like that when Lily didn't die or anything,' Severus complained internally.

But it was undeniable that when he remembered Lily, he felt as if a stake was being driven through his heart and he was slowly bleeding to death, all his feelings jumbled together, love, hope, despair, hate, resentment, fear, darkness, lots of darkness, lots of fear, all mixed together.

If it wasn't for the fact that he as Vader lost everything he loved, it would be impossible for him now to control all these feelings.

"If he wanted to start meditating and controlling the Force, he had to do something about his emotions or they would consume him.

He knew that his memories and feelings as Severus Snape began to invade his mind and that his body reacted automatically as before to each of these feelings.

And that bothered him.

'No matter that he was now a combination of Severus and Vader, the pain and despair remained the same as before, the pain did not change' Severus complained in his mind, he was now weak, not only did he have no control over the Force, his physique and everything about him was a mess.

But he could now better understand all these feelings he had.

He previously as Snape had not come to fully understand his mistakes, and pain and so he blamed only James Potter along with his group of bullies and also Lily for leaving him and going with Potter.

When he remembered Lily his heart pounded and at the same time contracted in pain, his breathing quickened, and at times he was short of breath, his body trembled, his eyes watered, his limbs twisted, and his being began to feel extremely lonely.

He felt cold, very cold accompanied by unbearable pain and that was how he began to be invaded again by the dark side, hatred, rage, pure anger, and a part of his being sought refuge in the dark side.

Darkness had always been the greatest ally that he as Snape had during his short and miserable life.

But now that he was Snape and Vader, he knew the consequences of the dark side and how one should not be manipulated by it, but that he should manipulate and use it.

That is why at this moment, with the minds of Darth Vader and Severus Snape being one, he knew he could deal with it.

He knew that the darkness wasn't everything and that he was just letting himself be led down a path of no return, a future like the one he as Vader had to suffer.

Even though a part of him still wanted to seek refuge in the darkness to alleviate the pain and all these feelings, he would not allow it, he knew very well what the future awaited him by doing so.

That was the path he took as Darth Vader and indirectly killed his beloved Padme, it was a path he would never take knowing where it would lead him.

'I may be angry and disappointed with many of Lily's attitudes, but I would never forgive myself if she dies because of me. So I will wish her the best in her life and get on with mine' Severus thought determinedly, that seemed to be the best thing for him.

Severus would rather suffer in hell than see Lily's corpse.

No doubt his bloody love for Lily Evans was pure and true, but little by little that love was turning into an unhealthy and toxic obsession for her and it was leading him down a path of endless pain.

Something that had already happened to him with Padme, only she had returned his love and he had failed her in every way, all because of his cursed obsession.

'Obi-Wan always said that Jedi were forbidden to have attachments or possessions'

'And on the other hand, compassion is essential in the life of a Jedi.'

'To me, compassion was unconditional love, and that is why the Jedi were encouraged to love'.

I failed to understand that unconditional love is not wanting something, but loving it.

'When you want something, you take it..., but when you love something, you take care of it and let it be' Severus thought.

He could now understand that he had to accept that love had to be mutual and if it wasn't, he had to let that person go and wish them the best, no matter how much it hurt.

The thought of Lily and Potter together might destroy him and anger him to the point of wanting to kill Potter.

'And it would be so easy to just eliminate him...' Severus thought for a few moments before shaking his head.

But he had to accept that it was Lily's decision, it's her life and if he really loves her, he'll have to let her do what she wants in her life.

"So close Potter..., for a few seconds I thought my first action would be to kill you and rid this world of your bloody presence," sighed Severus, he actually felt a little tempted by that idea.

Severus knew that now was the time to stop thinking about James Potter and Lily Evans.

'Merlin, she made her decision, she didn't forgive me, no matter how hard I tried to get her forgiveness, no matter how much I wanted to get back together with her, Lily decided to move on with her life and I will do the same'

A part of Severus was still angry and frustrated that he didn't receive her forgiveness, that part of him felt that he deserved her forgiveness and that she only betrayed him by going off with that idiot Potter.

But another part of him knew that none of that erased the fact that he made the mistake of hurting her.

Lily may have been wrong about a lot of things and so was he in their relationship, but in the end, it was Severus who called her a mudblood, knowing damn well that it would hurt her.

Yes, he saw her smiling with Potter and that was why he was so angry, but he knew that was no excuse.

Now she had every right not to forgive him.

'And I can't keep dragging myself around like scorned women looking for forgiveness or revenge, it's pathetic,' Severus thought to himself.

'Move on'

Maybe she's stubborn in her decision not to forgive him and it certainly makes him angry after so many things they went through together, so many things he let go and forgave her for.

'Yes, it hurts and bothers me to see her with that bastard Potter, but that's her problem now,' Severus said to himself, tired of the many problems Lily Evans was giving him.

He considers himself smart and strong enough to deal with these things and feelings the right way.

"It's time to prove it!" muttered Severus earnestly, slowly managing to keep his meditation steady.

He could feel the Force slowly reacting to him as the dark side stopped bothering him.

He may not have been able to solve his personal problems before, like Snape.

But now he can recognise that he made many mistakes and stupidities that cost him the people he loved the most, now he sees and understands things from two perspectives.

He knows he can change and improve.

'And I'm not going to do it for Lily, she made her decision clear not to forgive me and go on with her life.'

Now he had to accept that and make a change for himself, it was time to change his life for the better.

He would wish Lily the best in life because part of him loved her and would surely never stop doing so, but just as she could continue her life without him, Severus had to do the same once and for all.

He was going to start over, take everything he knew and use it to move on and achieve all his bloody goals.

He had a lot of scores to settle and he wasn't going to stop until he'd settled them all.

'So many things to do on this planet and in another entire galaxy, and I'm just here suffering for an unrequited love... ridiculous' Severus complained to himself.

Lily Evans may not forgive him, but that doesn't mean he can't forgive her.

He may still be disappointed, angry, irritated, sad and so many other things with Lily Evans and himself, but he can still admit that he loves her and that's why he forgives her for everything.

As Obi-Wan said: "Forgetting is something that only time can take care of, but forgiveness is an act of will, and only the one who suffers can make the decision".

Severus is certainly suffering, that's why he forgives her and forgives himself.

It was time to put aside all those painful and sad feelings and move on.

"Don't wait to forgive until you feel like forgiving; you'll never get there. Feelings take time to heal after the decision to forgive is made," Severus murmured the words Qui Gon Jinn said to Anakin when he met him on Tatooine.

'So true, that's why today I choose to forgive and let go of all the resentment and hatred I have towards others and myself, it's time to start as a new Severus and in time begin to heal and eventually change my life,' Severus concluded seriously.

A few minutes passed in which he thought about many things, both about his past as Severus and his past as Vader until he finally managed to push away all those unchained thoughts and feelings that were tormenting his head.

After having a long talk in his head and forgiving himself, Severus was able to forgive Lily and himself.

Now he could move on with his life, escape the darkness and the memories that haunted him.

Lily had become an obsession and a ruin in his daily life, today he put an end to it.

"Today I put an end to this ridiculous obsession'

' And I promise to go on my way," Severus murmured, and finally, the Force surrounded him completely, hugging him as it had done so many times in the past.

The surroundings where Severus was meditating began to suffer the side effect of Severus' sudden connection with the Force.

He was no longer Severus Snape, but he was not entirely Darth Vader either.

He was a new person with the knowledge, experiences, and feelings of two different lives.

He was a new Severus and he would use all the knowledge at his disposal to move forward.

Two souls united in one, two lives that would be the beginning of a new Severus in this universe, one that all his enemies would fear.

And so it was that Severus finally opened his eyes with a flash of blue in them.

He now felt his whole body being surrounded by the Force.

'It feels good' Severus thought with a faint smile.

But instantly his connection to the Force broke and his body fell limp in exhaustion.

"Yeah..., well... I may have overdone it. I have to remember that this body is still very weak," Severus gasped to himself.

But despite his exhaustion, he was happy that he had managed to connect with the Force, it was a very important step to begin his training.

After resting for a while, he managed to get up and saw that the beautiful forest where he was now was a mess, it looked as if a tornado had passed through the place.

Without thinking too much about it, he proceeded to formally begin his training.

Severus spent some time training his body in the forest, his swordsmanship was as perfect as before, but his body could not keep up.

He had to train very hard to strengthen this weak body.

Severus dismissed his current thoughts and concentrated on his more... immediate concerns, such as the fact that he was surrounded.

'Hmm, what to do...?' wondered Severus, as the force warned him that many creatures were heading towards him, more than twenty.

They felt dark in the Force, the only thing radiating from them was an endless bloodlust.

He knew that these creatures must be the Acromantulas, but what caught Severus' attention was that these creatures seemed to have a strong connection to the dark side of the Force.

'It might be a bit risky to take on so many at the same time... but it would be a very good exercise...'

'...And besides, I'm intrigued by this strong connection these creatures have with the dark side of the Force...'

Severus knew he could deal with these creatures, but his body would end up extremely exhausted, which could put him in danger if an unexpected situation arose.

Acromantulas are among the most dangerous creatures in the forest and he understood that hundreds of the giant spiders now inhabit the forest.

Finally making a decision, Severus' hand went into his robes and down to his belt, feeling for his sword.

A huge spider-like creature emerged from the bushes, it was jet black in colour and had eight ugly eyes on its head along with two pincers coming out of its mouth that produced a peculiar clicking sound and ten large legs protruding from its body.

The creature stood alone in front of Severus, apparently trying to trick him into thinking that the creature was alone, unfortunately for it, it was practically impossible to successfully ambush someone like Severus.

The Acromantula lunged unexpectedly, erratically, the only thing on its seemingly limited mind was to spill Severus' blood.

He would not allow it.

"Too easy," Severus commented, noting that now with the aid of the Force it was simple to see this creature's every move.

Quickly drawing his sword, he cut the Acromantula's legs off in one swift motion and then listened as the creature fell to the ground, he heard the familiar thud after cutting someone's legs or paws from their bodies.

He watched curiously as the creature's body collapsed and began to screech, he raised an eyebrow at the wounds his blade left on its legs, only to be interrupted when many eyes looked up from the bushes and leapt towards him.

He had expected this to happen.

"Well... the fun began," he said simply, rejoicing at the sensation of using a sword again to take down an enemy, even if it wasn't his lightsaber, it was enough for now.

He loved the feeling of his body using the Force to become faster, more agile, and stronger, it reminded him of his days as Anakin in the clone wars, using the Force to fly across battlefields alongside his padawan.

"Ahsoka..." Severus murmured, remembering his beloved padawan.

Severus danced through the poor attempts to attack him from his savage enemies, if the Acromantulas could be called that, they were nothing more than mere insects to him at this point.

He noticed as he cut more Acromantulas, that more of them appeared when he remembered Ahsoka Tano.

Severus guessed that they were attracted to the blood of their dead comrades.

"Very interesting..., but nothing to worry about," he said, as he continued to dance between the Acromantula attacks, as in a matter of seconds he had reduced the number of creatures so that only about 5 Acramatulas remained.

He quickly killed the last 5 and felt in the Force the arrival of another group of 10 to 15 Acromatulas.

'Well... that was easier than I expected' Severus thought and then set to inspect the dead Acromantulas without bothering to worry about the incoming group of creatures.

A few minutes later, the new group of Acromantulas arrived where Severus was inspecting the wounds and the strange connection these creatures had with the Force.

Severus picked up his sword again and stood up a little annoyed at being interrupted.

"Come at me, you mindless insects," Severus scoffed, wondering if they would take the bait, he didn't want to waste his time, it was amusing at first but after seeing how easy it was to kill them, his interest moved on to the wounds left by his sword and the connection these creatures had with the dark side of the Force.

As expected, the Acromantulas attacked him quickly and in groups.

As they leapt at him, he quickly cut each of them down.

He only left one for last, wanting to try something.

When there was only one Acromantula left alive, Severus put away his sword and raised his hand.

The Acromantula stopped in mid-air and began to try to remove an invisible hand.

" This is the end," Severus said as he closed his hand and then followed the sickening sound of the Acromatula's broken body.

Even after that, the creature still shrieked and even tried to crawl towards Severus.

"Wow, they're even resistant to Force choke," Severus said a little surprised, lifting the creature off the ground again to once more crush it with the Force.

The creature's howls of pain ceased shortly after and Severus stared at the broken body in front of him.

"Very interesting..." he muttered staring at the Acromantula.

He remembered that he was killing a creature rather viciously, but it was one that only knew bloodlust, it was not an intelligent being that could be reasoned with, and cruelty was justified against such an unyielding enemy.

'Well..., I know their leader is different..., but it looks like he won't show up today' Severus thought.

Seeing in the Force that no more groups of Acromantulas were reaching his potion, he watched the remains of the creatures trying to figure out their secrets.

He spent a few hours going from body to body and trying different methods to observe the changes in their bodies.

After analysing and thinking of possible conjectures, he stood up and turned on his heels, and walked to the east, where he felt 4 presences through the force.

This time he felt a strong connection with the luminous side in these presences that were hidden in the bushes.

"Come out, or the same fate awaits you!"
