They were having a meeting with Master Yoda. Galen did not expect this, but maybe it would help him and Anakin. Galen looked down at Anakin. The boy looked scared. Galen didn't blame him; everything was new for him, and force visions can be scary. "It's okay," Galen said, kneeling to meet Anain's eyes. "I'm scared too," Galen said, running his hand over his face with a small smile. He felt Qui-Gon's gaze, but he didn't say anything. Anakin looked up to Qu-Gon and nodded.
It was a long wait, but Galen didn't mind because he was lost in thought. Galen tried to think of what he could say. He can't say that Anakin is a Sith lord in the future and killed his parents. Then, he was raised to be a killer. Galen took a deep breath when he saw the door open with a soft hiss. Qui-Gon walked in first leaving Galen alone for his turn.
"What am I going to do Kota?" Galen muttered. He hoped no one could hear him but he didn't care. Galen let out a shaky breath before he slid down the wall and sat down, his head in his hands.
"troubled you are?" Yoda said walking up next to Galen. Galen didn't look up when he heard Yoda's walking stick. Galen nodded slowly.
"Yes," Galen said removing his head from his hands. Yoda hummed as Qu-Gaon and Anakin walked out of the room.
"It seems you and Ani are connected somehow," Qui-Gon said looking at Galen who looked away in shame. "wonder why," Qui-Gon added still looking at Galen. He had to say it now. Or he could lie again. Galen sighed.
"I knew Anakin from my own time," Galen said standing up and letting out a calming breath. Everyone was staring at him. So, Galen continued. Even though he felt his blood boil" My former master wants to turn me back, so it would be easier to turn Anakin. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. Stop staring at me!" Galen yelled before he ran down the hall.
Galen was meditating when Qui-Gon found him. One of his lightsabers was in the air dismantling itself. Qui-Gon saw tear stains on his cheeks. The Jedi master didn't say anything as he watched the younger Jedi. He looked younger than he was when he was like this.
"I know your there," Galen said not opening his eyes. His lightsaber put itself back together before he clipped it to his belt.
"Your master hurt you. Didn't he?" Qui-Gon asked sitting down next to Galen's eyes snapped open.
"Why are you here?" Galen asked, voice rising. He then stood up and turned around. "Do I need to say what he did? He made me stronger despite anything," Qui-Gon just stared at Galen who turned around. Fresh tears formed in his eyes. "Sure, that's a Sith thing to say but it's true," Galen yelled before he looked down to his boots.
"Calm down," Qui-Gon said holding out his hands. Galen took a deep breath and wiped his face with his hand.
"I'm sorry, your right," Galen said closing his eyes for a second. When he opened them again, he saw Anakin walk up behind Qu-Gon.
"We can do this together," Qui-Gon said putting his hand on Anakin's shoulder.
"Together," Galen said with a nod before he followed Qui-Gon and Anakin back down the hall.
A/N: How was that? I know this story is taking me a long time but it's very hard for me to write in the winter. I'm back now while the sun is shining, and I feel like I can do anything. Thank you all for reading and I will see you next time. -Vox
