Within the Force's vision, where the ethereal fields stretched out in endless tranquillity, the assembly of revived Jedi and the council members gathered, still reeling from their newfound existence and the heavy truths revealed to them. The Force, shimmering with an effervescent glow, addressed the council.
Force: Your revival was a choice of necessity, a step towards mending the fractures within the galaxy and yourselves.
The council, with members like Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, stood in solemn understanding, the weight of their past actions now clear in the Force's light.
Force: The recent purge was a consequence of the imbalance you fostered. Attachment is not your enemy. It is how you understand the Force's nature. Now, it is time to redefine your path.
The Jedi exchanged glances, the rule against attachment having been one of their core tenets for millennia.
Accustomed to a rigid code, they found themselves at the precipice of change, with the Force guiding them.
Force: The Jedi Code must evolve. The suppression of attachment has led you astray. It is not attachments that lead to the dark side, but the fear and obsession of them.
Obi-Wan, his heart burdened by the echoes of the past, felt a pang of sorrow for the mistakes born from the Code's misinterpretations.
Force: Withdraw from the corridors of power, from politics. Return to your roots as as guardians, warriors of peace, connected with the Force and nature. Find a new home among nature, a world that breathes with the Force, where you will relearn balance from within.
A collective murmur ran through the assemblage, the directive clear yet daunting.
Force: Leave Coruscant. Find sanctuary on a world rich in the Force. There, each of you will learn to achieve emotional balance within.
Mace Windu, his stoic demeanour unaltered, nodded in understanding. The wisdom in the Force's decree was undeniable.
Obi-Wan's eyes found Anakin's, the remorse within them palpable.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, I failed you as a teacher. I... I am sorry.
Anakin, his own heart heavy with the shared pain of their past, met Obi-Wan's gaze, his forgiveness already formed in his heart.
Anakin: You taught me so much, Obi-Wan. You were the best master I could have asked for. Our trials on Mustafar... they are behind us. It's time to heal.
Obi-Wan, visibly moved by Anakin's words, approached his former Padawan.
Their gaze locked, a silent understanding passed between them, a bridge over the chasm of their shared pain.
The two men, united by a bond deeper than the chasm that once separated them, embraced—a symbol of healing and the end of an era of misunderstanding.
Obi-Wan, with a voice trembling with suppressed emotion, says.
Obi-Wan: You will always be my brother, Anakin. I love you, and that love never faltered, even in the darkest of times.
Anakin, his own eyes moist, stepped into the embrace, the past dissolving in the warmth of brotherhood.
Anakin: And you will always be my brother. Your love, our bond, it was never truly broken.
Their hug, witnessed by the council and the Force, marked the beginning of profound changes for the Jedi Order—a new dawn where love and attachment were not shunned but embraced as strengths.
The Force watched the embrace, a soft radiance enveloping the pair.
Force: Witness this, my children. True balance begins with forgiveness, with love. Let it guide you on the path ahead.
As the council members digested the gravity of their new path, the Force's vision began to fade, leaving each Jedi with a sense of purpose and the knowledge that the future would be different, better.
Each Jedi, now tasked with the responsibility to change, left the assembly with a renewed sense of duty.
The Order would be reborn, not on the artificial lands of Coruscant, but on verdant planes, under open skies, where the Force flowed freely and guided their every step.
As the vision began to wane, Anakin's awareness returned to the hospital room, the sounds of medical droids and the soft breathing of his loved ones drawing him back to reality.
He opened his eyes to find Luke, merely seven days into the world, gazing up at him with what seemed to be a knowing smile, a silent reflection of the wisdom Anakin had just encountered. Anakin smiled back, a wave of love and determination filling him. They were all on the path to balance now, together as a family, guided by the Force.
Padme and Leia, deep in slumber, lay peacefully beside him, and in that quiet hospital room, with the sun of Naboo beginning their descent, Anakin Skywalker felt for the first time in a long time, a sense of hope that balance was within reach.
