Skywalker Mansion

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme wakes and gets dressed in her training clothes.
She quietly leaves the room so not to wake up Anakin.
She walks downstairs to talk to Charles about having 3PO repaired.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin wakes up a few minutes later. He gets out of bed. He could hear Ywalme talking to Charles about the droid. He has calmed down after being with Ywalme.
What happened during his time away, training was really getting to him. It seemed as if the darkside wanted to take control of him. Make him something he isn't, like some sith have said before him: "The dark-side energy is intensifying…prepare for anything." Those very same words he had to keep in mind, at a time like this. He was prepared, he would not let for the darkside to take control of him. These thoughts were running through his head, as he sat at the edge of the bed. His sith eyes glowed as he felt a surge of the dark side through his body. He got up and took the sith artifacts with him. He entered his training room where he keeps the rest of the artifacts. He started to put them away in a secure place. Except for one, it was a holocron. He sat crossed legged on the floor, he put the holocron in front of him. He started to open himself more to the darkside. Then using the force he opened the holocron. The gatekeeper immediately appeared. -

Gatekeeper: I see that you are in search for more knowledge of the darkside.

Anakin: Yes that is correct.

Gatekeeper: Excellent then young one, let us begin.

- A few hours passed, and he had learned everything the holocron had to teach. He put the holocron away where, he put the rest of the sith artifacts. He knew he would have to practice his new force abilities. He got up and ignited his lightsaber. It was time to practice. -

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Once Anakin was done, he noticed it was three in the morning. He sat down on the chair and took a deep breath and let it out.He turned off his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt. He got up and went to the master bedroom. He changed into his lounge clothes.
He got into bed and fell into a deep sleep. -

******** NEXT MORNING ********

- Anakin woke up, got out of bed and went to the closet. He got a new pair of Sith robes and went into the refresher. He took a shower and changed into his robes. He then got out and then on his way out of the master bedroom he passed by a mirror. He stopped abruptly, he did not see his reflection. He saw that half of his reflection was Darth Vader.
Then the other half himself, Anakin wanted to keep walking ignoring it. But something held him back. He heard a distant voice. Anakin reached towards his lightsaber.-


Qui - Gon: You will not be needing that Anakin.

- Anakin recognized the voice. He hadn't heard it since he was just a boy. The image of the long dead Jedi master appeared on the mirror. Anakin's mind overflowed with questions. Yet he did not know where to start. -

Anakin: Master Qui - Gon.

- It was all he manged to say.-

Qui - gon : I have come here to caution you -

- The Jedi was cut off, from what he was going to say.-

- Anakin's voice was filled with the darkside. -

Anakin : I know what I am doing.

- Qui - gon's voice however remained calm.-

Qui - gon: I understand that you have been in the darkside for a long time now. Though I have noticed you are giving in more to it.

- Anakin wasn't given a chance to respond.-

- The Jedi's attention went to Anakin's belt. -

- Anakin looked at his belt and noticed that Qui - Gon
was looking at his old lightsaber.-

Qui - gon: I'm glad it's in good hands.

- He said with a smile-

Qui - Gon : I must go now Anakin, though please keep in mind my caution.

- The Jedi's ghost disappeared. Anakin turned around and found nothing. Anakin slowly resumed walking downstairs. He wasn't going to change. He knew what he was doing and he was going to still move forward with what he was doing. He was still going to
accept the darkside. -

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywlame checks on Anakin throughout the day but seeing him busy with the Sith holocron doesn't distrub him.
She warns the staff to stay away and not to bother him for any reason.

That night she sends the staff to bed and patiently waits for him to finish.
But when it grows late she goes up to bed and finally falls asleep around 1 am.

She leaves the lights on in case Jacen comes back and they are asleep.

She wakes up briefly when Anakin comes up stairs but quickly falls back to sleep when he gets into bed.*



****Next morning****

*Ywalme gets up and Anakin is still asleep.
She quietly goes into the refresher and takes a shower.
She gets dressed in her training clothes and goes downstairs.
She has breakfast and goes into the training room to practice.
She sets 4 remotes and gets out her whip.*

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*After a vigorous and productive practice, Ywalme starts to walk out of the room.
A wave of great darkness washes over and she gasps and stumbles.
She leans against the wall to catch her breath.

This could only mean one thing and one of the great ones has passed away.

The darkside envelopes her.
She then sees in vision two Siths battling.
Lord Paymon fighting Lord Ire.
She sees Paymon's end.

She bows her head in respect.*

Lord Paymon is gone.
We have a new Lord of the Darkside.
Hail the new Grandmaster of the Sith.

Lord Ire.

[Anakin Skywalker]

-Right when he was going to reach the last step he had a vision. He stood frozen his face expressionless. The vision showed Paymon and Ire fighting. Then later showed Paymon's death. Then the vision ended, Anakin still stood there frozen. He shook his head snapping out of it. -

So this is the will of the Force.

- He took rushed over to where he sensed Ywalme was in the manor, to see if she was ok. He wondered if she saw the same thing he saw. He approached her.-

Ywalme, did you have the same vision?

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme looks up when Anakin speaks to her.*

A vision of Lord Paymon and Lord Ire fighting?
Yes, I did.
You saw as well?
Lord Paymon is dead and Lord Ire is now the Grandmaster of the Sith?
*She walks over to Anakin.*

We should make a visit and pay our respects to the new Lord of all the Sith.

And bring him a gift as well?

*She looks at Anakin to see if he agrees.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

Yes sweetheart, that's the right vision.

-He hears what she says.-

Yes I agree, we should do that.

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme nods.*

That is well then my love.
We need to arrange it soon.
We also need to pick something appropriate.
What do you think he would like as a gift?

*Ywalme taps her chin with her index finger with a thoughtful expression.*

It will have to be something special for such a momentous occasion.

Gems? An special artifact?
A pet?

I wonder maybe a rancor that he could train for his own?

What are your thoughts Anakin?

What do you think he would like best?

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin shows a confused experssion. With all the options that she just said. He had no clue what would be a good gift to give the new Sith Grand Master. Though he knew that a pet wouldn't be a good idea. -

Well sweetheart truthfully you just lost me. Though I know that a pet wouldn't be the best option. How did your training go?

[Anakin Skywalker]

**********NEXT MORNING **********

- Anakin woke up, he got up and put a shirt on. He sensed something was wrong. Though he couldn't figure out what it could be. He went into the refresher and took a shower and changed into a new pair of sith robes. He walked downstairs and was greeted by Charles. -

Charles : Good morning my lord, breakfast is served.
- Charles said with a smile on his face.-

- Anakin looked at Charles, he really couldn't smile back, for two reasons. One it was morning and second it made Anakin upset that he couldn't figure out why he sensed something was wrong. -

Anakin: Thank you Charles.

- Charles continued smiling.-

Charles: I understand my lord you despise mornings.

- Anakin was surprised that Charles understood him. -

Anakin: Glad you remember.

- Anakin started walking toward the kitchen. Charles following behind. When he passed the counter he got a vision. It seemed as if everything was put on pause.
He saw his Jedi friend Cait suddenly collapse and enter a coma. Suddenly the force brought him back to reality. Anakin blinked and saw Charles and the chef looking at him. They knew that when this happened to Anakin it never really was any good news. Anakin looked at Charles. He already knew what Charles was going to ask him. -

Anakin: No there is no danger, the vision that I had was about my Jedi friend Cait. It seems that she has entered a coma.

- Charles has never gotten used to Anakin already knowing what he was going to ask. Though he was sorry to hear of the news. -

Charles: My apologies my lord, may the Force help her heal.

Anakin: Thank you Charles, I will have to keep in touch with the Jedi and see how they are going to handle this.

- Without another word Anakin left the room and went back upstairs to his office to send a transmission to the Jedi.-

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Once he was done contacting the Jedi about his friend he went to the master bedroom. He went into his closet and took out a small black box. He placed it on Ywalme's nightstand. Then walked out of the room without making a sound. -

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

Well we will think of something dear.
You are probably right a pet wouldn't be the right gift.
I will have to think on it then.

*Ywalme gives him a kiss then goes upstairs to change.*

*****THE NEXT MORNING***

*Ywalme finds the box on the nightstand and opens it.
She smiles when she sees what it is.
She then comes downstairs to look for Anakin to thank him.
She finally tracks him down in the kitchen she takes one look at his face and asks:*

What's wrong dear?

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin senses Ywalme already awake. Before he knew it she was already behind him. He heard her sweet voice, it felt like he first heard her. He got lost for a few seconds and then turned around and finally made sense of what she said. Apperantly he still had the same shocked expression, from when he heard about his friend. -


Cait entered a coma.

- Was all he manged to say -

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme face takes on a shocked expression.*

WHAT!?
When did that happen?
Do they know what caused it?
I'm sorry about your friend.
She is a worthwhile person even if she is a Jedi.


*She goes over to give Anakin a hug.*

What do you want to do?
