47 BBY later
Point of view Anikin on Tatooine
Anakiln had been living on Tatooine, pod racing, most of her childhood was spent tinkering with some of the gadgets found around Watto's shop. Currently Anakiln was six year's old she was born as a slave and had spent a majority of her time learning and fixing anything inside of Watto's shop in order to be useful. Watto had allowed her to mass around with anything that wasn't too expensive or hard to fix as a way to gain more experience. She had already had a passion for mechanics and pod racing at such an age. There wasn't much else to her life besides being the one chosen to fix and repair all of Watto's junk.
Shimi Skywalker was currently 35 years old with a kid she wasn't born into slavery but there was little choice, food was scarce on a planet like Tatooine water was even more difficult to track down or to own. Shimi was a nurse before she became a slave she had blessed her miracle Anakiln. She had only hoped to provide for her daughter, before too long she had racked up debt and was sold as into slavery. She had been lucky that Watto had won them in a gambling den, he could provide everything they needed. Watto had been merciful and an extremely lucky character to encounter for the two Skywalker's. They could have ended up in worse conditions or separated stars apart. She accepted the blunt of the responsibility she cleaned and cooked for Watto and he didn't leave them for dead, Anakiln seemed to have a talent in the workshop and Watto had found some use for Anakiln inside the workshop.
There wasn't any father figure in their life but Shibi was surprised to find that one day she became pregnant with a child. "How could it have happened" Many day's she asked herself considering the fact she was still pure, such in the way that no man had touched her in that manner ever. Anakiln had just sort of been a miracle that just so happened to pop into her life in the most inconvenient time but she still loved her.
With enough money Watto the Toydarian was convinced to sell of two slaves to the unknown mercenary. They were hardly ever useful since the day he bought them Shibi was a hard loss but replaceable, sure the boy had some talent for fixing minor broken objects but still with the amount of money he had gotten out of the trade he was happy to have been able to sell the poor older merchandise. Shibi and Anakiln both slaves he had won with a lucky enough hand during a card game for four times the value they were worth around two year's ago. Watto was an expert business man those slaves had cost him more money to feed than they had been worth. Watto was also a little intimidated by the Bounty Hunter but he didn't budge an inch during negotiations. A Mandalorian Bounty Hunter who had just made the purchase of his two simple slave's. It appeared they were worth more money than usual but he didn't know how much more they would be willing to spend. "3500 was a good price for two healthy slaves, so 4500 credits" Watto asked trying to gouge the man out of money.
"I will pay double of what you said if this purchase isn't spread around" The Mandalorian asked. "Why would you want two useless Slaves for the price of four" Watto asked curiously Shibi and Anakiln didn't mean anything to him. "It is a Dathomirian, intrest" the Mandalorian replied. Many in the underworld had heard rumor of the two sides forming an alliance. A dark planet as of late the underworld was in a stir many becoming intrested party's. Watto knew of Slaves getting set free and returning from Dathomir, it wasn't really important information to him anyway. He wasn't a Hutt he didn't really care about anything besides turning a profit besides it being across the Galaxy there was something about that alliance what made him not want to involve himself for self preservation.
The Bounty Hunter assigned to this mission wasn't keen on fulfilling just any request. Seeing as it was a request from way up, far up high on the food chain he wouldn't question his orders. Clearly he had seen combat before but this request it seemed too easy. Go to Tatooine look for a man by the name of Watto or buy any slaves with the name Skywalker. This request it wasn't a test of his skills he had to return them at all cost but oh boy was he getting paid a shit ton of credits for this simple errand. The amount he paid Watto wasn't even a quarter of what he could have offered to pay. Whatever Watto wasn't going to take he would lose and as a Mandalorian he was going to get reimbursed for it as well.
Pandora enjoyed strolling through the castle on Dathomir, there were many serene places to hide and see but this one hallway almost had an entire thriving bustling palace decorated, the royalty here was better than many of the other places she had visited. She had thought they were royalty but in fact this was a democracy, many of the elder women were leader's. Men were seen as lesser and women held all the titles this was exactly the way it should be run and the rest of the galaxy at large needed to follow in Dathomir's footsteps. The palace was most recently built and now there were scholars traversing and getting educated, the city's that were built was most beautiful it almost looked like a medieval fantasy. There were many Mandalorian's patrolmen and she was definitely intimated by many of the guard unlike on other planet's. The dinner they served here was better than anything she had ever experienced in the galaxy and she couldn't recognize any of it even the milk was a different color "White who drinks white Milk" Pandora thought while she continued digging in wailing and savoring the meaty meal. Pandora didn't want to leave the roast of a four legged bovine Bison was definitely calling her name. These people were enlightened she never wanted to leave, everything they served in the temple had been trash. (AN: The food could be grown on Dathomir but the animals were from Middle Earth).
Xet had made some routine sparring with Aayla or Pandora every day today they should continue this routine. She wasn't here right now, no one was here in his room all that accompanied him was the cracklingof his fireplace. Xet continued to drink Lembus and watch as the fire continued roaring every time he tossed somethingin he would feel some happiness. There was little to do but constantly be on edge. it was always an issue with immortality ether one lives too long or by extension, he would not have any companionship no one to bring along along the way. He didn't spend the last ten years doing absolutely nothing except preparation for the future war's.
But still Feaon did have to spend a majority of his time with his Padawan training her up to his standards for the eventual day she became a knight. She was long ready she just needed to become independent now he would be talking with the Jedi Council soon enough.
Xet really didn't want to spend time alone who would want to spend Immortality alone.That being said there was an idea coming to his mind something simple and easy to achieve it was dark dangerous and forbidden. Whatever had possessed his mind to think properly since it could change the future if it turned out more trouble than it was worth. It was just an idea that he just wanted to do it had came to his mind but he was unsure of the consequences. Would the council dare to step in his way, there could be few repercussions, every single one of his allies could possibly turn against him in a blink of an eye.
"What are you thinking about Feaon" Sauron asked far mor familiar with his current host now that time had passed. He awoke from a flashback so he had plenty of time to finally train with Pandora using real swords. "Nothing im alright it was just something i didn't like the thought of" Feaon said while calming down the raging fire in front of him. An ultimatum would Pandora choose her master over the order. Xet had made his way through the Palace many Black Obsidian Stonework was completed commissioned large hallways he passed. He went by beautiful wooden carved furniture that was made by skilled hand's. Many were gifted to the Palace, some scholars mainly female passed the halls. There were few or no slaves that roamed and men were considered lower class anyway. He was an exception he dressed in fine dark robes gifted to him be the people for excellent service to the Planet Government, excellent grade tailor made from the finest black sheets it was a gift for a Senator or Representative.
"Pandora good morning at last we meet, you must have been enjoying the food" Xet said to his Padawan smiling at how she was stuffing the food down her gullet. Mmm..Master when did you get here" she asked suprised embarrassed at having been seen in such a state. "Don't worry the food here won't grow legs and run away frightened of you, at least it shouldn't but i always come to expect more from you Padawan than anyone else" Xet said teasingly while watching her regain her composure.
"Master it's just that the food here is so good nothing had ever prepared me, i always believed you were exaggerating whenever you mentioned that this planet made the best food by far in the Galaxy but i see now that it was no exaggeration. Now that I've come to experienceit myself i may neverwant to leave" she said now properly enjoying the meal.
Finally deciding to tell her what he had come here for Xet spoke while she continued eating. "Pandora would you like to have a friendly spar the swords found in this Palace share many similarities with a lightsaber and i had gotten permission for us to make use of them" Xet said calmly finally finishing what he needed to saym
"But Master i thought we were on vacation" Pandora said more than reluctant since she didn't expect anymore training. "We are not on vacation Pandora, but If your that sure of your skills i may just have to Consider the Council's proposal to finally make you Knighted in the Order of Jedi" Xet knew she was far to modest and for some reason she didn't want to be Knighted because of him. "Yes we can continue to practice Master please forget that i mentioned anything" Pandora asked silently forgetting all about her food now that something like his guidance came up.
The room the two had begun to spar inside was large, it looked like any other room in the Palace dark hall's cold floors. The practice room had many weapons like Axes, Sword's, Bow's, Great Bow's, longsword's, Mace's, Spear's, and Shield's. Every weapon that could be used in battle was here and they would be practicing Pandora's battle instincts while they stayed. She had definitely struggled to defend with every new weapon they used Jedi instinct led the way for her and Gin correctly taught her many new moves. She was more fit for agility and but that didn't mean she shouldn't use her power and strength any less, She was a befitting appearance she will be a Jedi Knight Gin was her Master and he would turn that red skin blue with all the harsh training. She didn't know the purpose of such training but they continued to train in combat, a Jedi was only supposed to weld a sword all other weapons were looked down upon in the Jedi Order she didn't know why how he gotten so good or why they would practice with expertly crafted medieval weapons.
Pandora you are ready for knighthood there is little else i can teach you my Padawan. Don't worry we still have until we reach the Council but as soon as we do i will no longer be your Master. You have passed every test that was required of a Padawan already next you must experience your own journey. Even i must begin forging my own path here as a Diplomat and Researcher, i will return to visit the order on occasion to witness you grow into your own master one day" Gin had tried to continue speaking before he was interrupted.
"The Darkside, can take me if you don't" Pandora began trying to hold her master. suddenly the whole room had dropped in temperature when she mentioned that phrase.
"No you won't, you will would you" Gin was less hesitant now. I am an Immortal Pandora do you know what that means, It means that I was cursed by a being far more powerful than me and we will be separated one day by death, Simply saying Pandora i won't ever be able to die im not even sure i would want to return to being Mortal and returning to be one with the force isn't any goal of mine"
She was in tears, how could this happen she didn't want to join the force ether she wanted to stay alive, She didn't want to be alone again and her master had given her a companion.
"It will have nothing to do with the Darkside but do you know of magic. Wasn't Magic simply a commoners narrow understanding of the force. Bingo, you are correct and you won a prize. You are correct to assume but there are still some very dark sources of energy that aren't or were ever connected to the force" Gin explained trying to convince his Padawan that what they were going to do next wasn't tied to the Dark side of the force.
"Wouldn't that mean that the force isnt all encompassing like we were all taught" Pandora tried to follow her teacher's lesson and conversation even though it went against everything she had ever been taught. "Almost but don't mention that information in front of other Jedi they will execute us or banish us if we deviate from the teachings" Gin finally explained finishing by Giving Pandora a much needed hug that she seemed to sink into.
"I might be able to curse you not in the same way that i was, definitely not. I would be able to cast a curse with my own power and turn you into a part Wraith. It could mean that you would never have to die unless i truly die if the source of my power is destroyed we would go out together how would you feel about that" Gin asked the still heavily breathing Twi'lek that went through a marathon of training still in his arm's.
"One idea, let us make use of The One Ring and to make use of your ability and summon the Ring Wraiths" Said Sauron one fine evening far away "That's a terrible idea im already stuck with you, i don't want you even more powerful" Xet had listened but only took a sip from his canteen to dispel the evil.
"It has been ten year's Xet, we both have changed and i now know more than i did than the Galaxy suffers because they won't change" Sauron had shown an entire Galaxy and all the different fractions and leader's that didn't agree with one another. Everybody had their own space but the people were still suffering under terrible leadership.
"Your student the living one she could be useful, she could be just like us an actual piece on the board. She wouldn't die meaningless once it is discovered you are a traitor to all Jedi" Sauron continued to make his point everything he said sounded reasonable.
Thay wouldn't kill her i just wanted to hide away from it all allow everything to pass normally. But she will hate you for leaving, you would be practically giving her away to Sidious if you left. She would hunt you down and die to our hand's. You need to wield the full power of the one Ring to access and revive a single Nazgul bond it with her make servents other's incomplete Wraiths or half Wraiths like us" Sauron finished with his talking leaving his sight and the room felt cold and empty.
"Your right i wouldn't, i definitely would ask before they did undergo the process. Sauron renounce Morgoth in name and i might consider it" Feaon asked clearly wanting to find the bottomof his bottle again. "I don't see you to be the type to force someone to undergo such a procedure but very well i renounce Morgoth as my lord, did that make you happy Feaon.
Crafting a Ring for a new half Wraith wasn't something he ever expected to think about. All the steps were there everything he needed for Sauron's infernal Alchemy. Xet had double checked the curse along with the Witches he kept company. Xet had prepared everything and had even drunk silly with his Padawan in preparation. Once he took out the Ring he felt power Sauron's lost power Gin had placed the ring on his finger expecting the curse that bound the two to break but it appeared Eru Iluvatar had made them inseparable without his death.
Sauron finally had it in his hand it was all the power he lost and already Xet's abilities grew to staggering heights. Sauron felt complete their body had begun to turn into a giant it would have been great if Xet didn't have the ability to disappear it with a whim of his inventory. Sauron had had his reunion with the resummoned King Wraith Ring's that the Wraith King's wore. There were Nine Ring's in total and his own the greatest One Ring to rule over them all. Sauron had rekindled himself with his old power's and the One Ring refilled whatever lost power Sauron had lacked when they were apart.
Just for the remaining time that they stayed here Feaon began smithing all day and all night in order to reach level one hundred with all his smithing skills. Dark Saber in hand he finally got to research the composition the crystal, the Beskar that was used and he even improved the design. For one he added on a hilt that would be highly resistant to lightsabers, secondly he made the blade longer in order to match his higher height. The pommel was remade in order to match his grip, the end looked like a slight Miao dao just without added weight.
All that was left was crafting up a new set of armor in some of the hottest fire that the Balrog Provided. Sure gaining skills is fine, becoming stronger will help you overcome many challenges but without great weapon's and armor he would just lack that final level of survivability needed to quash down unreasonable threats. A Magic Staff wouldn't hurt to have in his possession either all of it was made of cold alloys forged together with the use of Xenomorph acid, Beskar Metal, Phrik alloy, Mithril, all that it needed now was a core, there was such a stupid item in his inventory that hadn't seen any use at all. Feaon added in the race changing coin as the core of the single most powerful Staff he created to date. When it was finished he was kinda glad that he included such a worthless Legendary Item once he read the effects.
Wizard Staff - skill: Permanent conversion - makes it so all types of Magic are naturally attuned to this staff, bonus 3000% efficiency with all type's of magical energy. Skill: Practically magic - bend the laws of reality with a simple swish of the staff all of your whims will have a effect on the world even a non magician could find themselves using this skill. Skill : Perfectly constructed - while there still are other materials out there to find and experiment with your Staff is clearly among the best.
Sauron's Reformed Armor - Skill: Love me or Hate me - everyone ether fully supports you or they obviously want to get rid of you once they know about you. Sauron once roamed the world's battlefield poisoning the good minds of Middle Earth and caused Death, Misery, and made so many enemies. Skill: Ghostly Company: your ghost companion has control over nearby objects just like a telepath, Ghost has always been a Data Slicer this Armor is a functional A.I. that had complete influence over nearby mechanical system's. This armor is afflicted with and imbued with powerful invisibility, camouflage, and corrosion against any weapon that strikes it.
Feaon equipped the camouflaged armor noticing the interface that popped up inside his helmet. Feaon asked Ghost to go into standby with all the armor camouflaged, retracting, and turning thin against his skin it became unnoticed. The Half Wraith Feaon had begun smithing Pandora's essence her being, soul, and power inside her own new ring. Wraith ring in hand he used Sauron's dark magic to bond the living Pandora with whatever was left of the Forgotten King's Spirit perfectly inside. Sauron's Wraith's could not remember their names besides they didn't remember anything they were servants to the Dark Lord, So andora was simply turning herself half Wraith with the will of a long dead King. With a bit of his own cursed magic Pandora would revive fully capable and immortal like him, she was now a piece of him. When Pandora woke from the ritual, she wore her new ring on her ring finger almost like they had been recently married. She didn't actually know that she now had just been bonded with a century old dead King but still she loved the ruby red jewelry that matched the color of her skin. The ring had a design that matched the older ring made of golden colors that once enticed the king and her own red colors. Most of the leftover Wraith was used in the process but she now drew her strength from him, Her's was a Ring that drew strength from the One Ring and it could turn itself invisible at will. But by all means it seemed that she had bound herself to Feaon willingly almost like a companion or a servant follower.
Politics were not only the worst but he also had to abide by the Policies of the Jedi otherwise he could be labeled dangerous to the whole Galaxy before he secured more power, wealth, and resources. The time wasn't right to be laying siege as of now he needed to somehow juggle this new set of problems between the Mandalorian sectors in which Dathomir is included and the Galactic Senate the vast system of planet's that worked together made law's, passed taxes, created currency. No matter how big a system got it wouldn't ever solve all the problems that every planet besides his faces a criminal underworld, his underworld was directly filled with Xenomorph's just digging around. Already he dreaded having to return to the spoiled upperclass political sphere of a planet. He had hated the food that was served to the Temple it was disgusting and he wasn't keen on returning. He wasn't going to ever take on another apprentice again, they grow too slow and they aren't worth the hassle when they show questionable loyalty. Why would he ever want to return now that he could freely call himself a Master Jedi even though there was still plenty of power to grab. At least that now that Pandora was privy to his secrets, he no longer needed to hide away everything about himself on his own homeworld.
He finally returns to the Senate with both a Mandalorian Senator and a Dathomirian Senator back. There was much bitching going around but seeing as how this meeting would finally open communication amongst civilizations he couldn't care less.
The two slaves he had been expecting had finally arrived one was Shibi while the other one he freed from Slavery was a girl. She had long Golden uncut hair it was a tiny girl Anikin. Xet began to sense her in the force and she was the chosen one, Xet didn't want to deal with this but at least they were thankful that they were saved from Slavery. "Pandora will be your teacher" but Anakiln was definitely a force sensitive from the start. Gin didn't care weather she would choose to be a Mandalorian or a Jedi. Pandora would probably train Anakiln but at least he would have an advantage now that Pandora would be the one teaching him. Sidious might become intrested in this development but Xet really believed Pandora would train the chosen one. It didn't matter that Anakiln was now a girl, he simply will continue to play the long game all in order to have full control over the galaxy.
"They have grown too strong Mandalorian's have had a long and blood soaked history they shouldn't be allowed to trade with their neighbors" Outspoken Councilman from the Trade Federation said to the rest of the floor that wanted to listen on the Senate Floor once they had returned.
"So far we have brought donations of food to the Jedi Order, Our leader's are working together and currently participating on a new government back in the Mandalor Sector on our homeworld Mandalore. While Mandalore does have a unsettling past history of war we are now experiencing and experiencing our first economic boom since we first entered into the Republic's empire, The main issue behind us here id that now that Dathomir is providing relief and resources to Mandalore, the many that profited from exploitation of Mandalorian's warfare's and unrest seemed peeved that they lost their gold laying porg. We are in the process of reforming our local government and we will only adhere to change that coincides with what we as Mandalorian's hold as sacred, our religion. Dathomir soul request's for now is to be left alone seeing as they too don't see many benefits from trade with other greedy partners.
Many in the council were angry that that accusation popped up while others seemed understandably happy that Mandalore had found themselves in a new alliance with a neighbor that was so close.
"How do we now this isn't some ploy, Mandalorian's have only desired warfare, They deserve banishment from the council altogether" More than one senator agreed with the sentiment of the Trade Federation.
"Enough silence the current grand chancellor Finis Valorum asked being neutral through this session, "though it does bring up concerns how we know Mandalore has changed. Who is currently leading Mandalore or Dathomir, could the representatives from both planet please identify themselves and put our worries to rest" Valorum commanded.
"You have the floor again Senators from Dathomir, The first to speak was Mandalorian's representative our current Mandalore was very recently appointed and his name is Jango Fett. Mandalorian civil war break's out Jango Fett was born in a family of farmers. These Farmers were killed by Death Watch war instigators that follow the old Resol 'nare the old Mandalorian Script. Instead Jango was trained by True Mandalorian's or Mandalorian's that follow the new less violent Comando Codex. Jango is the current leader the True Mandalorian's by after his father's death against Death Watch and is now considered the Mandalor after fighting in battle of Galadran.
This caused an uproar amongst the Federation but the Senator was allowed to explain the full history of the war in under a minute. "It was a War between the Death Watch and True Mandalorian's and if it wasn't for the help they had received from Dathomir that war could have continued for many more year's.
"These strange black creatures currently are the sole inhabitants of Geleon and they were encountered on that battlefield isn't that correct". "They are a new species but so far nobody has knowledge about their origins how they breed or even how they behave". "The Dathomirian's have tamed a Xenomorph doesn't that mean they caused the mess on Gideon"
"That is a matter of our own national security" the Dathomirian's senator had spoken out, "even if you did have knowledge of what animal's we tamed you would also have no proof a mineral rich planet like Gideon is simply a lost cause and we don't control every single creature. Dathomirian's have also been known how to tame Rancor's does that mean every Rancor related incident can be traced back to Dathomir as well" she asked the Senate trying to insure her innocence.
"The new Mandalorian's follow a new set of guidelines for all of Mandalore's people to follow we are willing to share the Commando Codex and change it if it goes against Galactic Law's". Because Mandalorian's liked to share their religion documents have been sent and shared through the room's interior computer terminals for every Senator to view.
"That still leaves if Dathomir would join the republic" Grand Chancellor Finis Valorum asked once again. "Grand Chancellor that is a question better suited for the future, what exactly could the Republic offer Dathomir for joining the Senate should be discussed with Mandalorian approval later on and in a more relaxed setting" The Senator for Dathomir's intrest spoken to the room. "Very well Court adjourned everyone if free for a break" Everyone had left and begun discussing over other topics considering that this meeting was dealt with for now.
After everyone had split Feaon went to talk with his Senators that represented themselves very well on the floor of the Senate. Xet had full confidence that these two would handle themselves very well once he left to continue his disguiseas a Jedi.
"Hello Senators, Master Jedi" Palpatine said while looking at him funny apparently his Senators were very popular already seeing as how the likes of Palpatine and the mother of Padmae Amidala were already trying to convince them of one thing or another.
Like Dathomir said further meeting's will be held to discuss their donations of food to the Jedi Order, Dathomir requested to be left alone by the Senate for now, not seeing too many benefits from trade with the Galactic System while being placed under new law's. The main issue was that now that Dathomir is providing relief and resources to Mandalore so many that profited from exploitation of Mandalorian's warfare's and unrest seemed more angered.
Xet was happy to have finally left bidding farewell to all the Senators that he had met so far, now that he had opened up communication with the three Governments he no longer was needed here and he made a beeline for the Jedi Council room with Anakiln and Pandora in order to advance Pandora to knighthood and initiated a new youngling into the order. He would finally get the Jedi Master Position rank that basically meant his words carried more weight and he wouldn't be under ranked in the Order because of Pandora's reluctance.
Anakiln had stayed on the ship with Pandora while he had been busy with all the Council's demands. Pandora had officially become a Jedi Knight. Next he would need time to officially save Padmae Amidala when she breaks down on Tatooine. Hopefully someone steps down as Grandmaster soon so he could finally have the Master Title.
AN: It took so long to finish this Arc the next Arc should be the start of the war. Someone is going to step down or they will be bound to die during some conflict. I had a plan to replace either one of four candidates
Yaddle - she hated war until Dooku slayed her, she is half of Yoda's age 477 years old, would have left during the clone wars but could step down early.
Yarael poof - long neck Quarmian, Only seen in the Phantom Menace, Sacrificed or Pizza, died 27 BBY to protect Citizens of Coruscant, Twenty years later. Replaced twice.
Coleman Trebor - Replaced Yarael Poof, Shot dead during the Battle of Geonosis, Pointy Alien.
Even Piell - Captured During the Clone Wars, Died During his rescue, last chance because Anakin was his replacement.
