Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Chapter 34

(y/n) POV:

"So, how does this work again?" I asked to the three concerned-looking Jedi Masters in front of me.

We were in the training room, and I was holding the silver bracelet in my now gloved hand. Just like Obi-Wan had promised, he lent me very protective gloves for what I was about to do. It was him, Windu, and Yoda in the room with me. I didn't really understand why Windu had to be there, since he'll probably try to critique everything I do. Although, I know he's also had his own struggles with the dark side, so maybe that's why.

Obi-Wan sighed; he looked just as fatigued as I felt. They've all spent the last eight days preparing me for this moment. I've meditated, exercised, worked on controlling the powers I already have with the force. It wasn't easy, I had to clear my mind of any and all emotions. As much as I hate to admit it, emotions will only make this process harder to control. I need to be able to keep a clear mind, and block out any presumably dangerous distractions.

"Carefully put the talisman over your wrist. Wear it like a normal bracelet, and then repeat the words I told you. Remember to clear your mind, and think only of your powers and nothing else." He eyed me seriously.

'Nothing else'. I knew what he was implying. It's the one thing that both of us have struggled the most to push out of our thoughts these last eight days. But considering what's at stake, we were able to distract ourselves with my constant training and many controversial discussions with the rest of the Council.

Needless to say, it's been a long week. Everyone is exhausted and we haven't even gotten to the 'hard' part of the plan yet.

I nodded in understanding at Obi-Wan's instructions. "Will this cause another explosion-type reaction?" I asked.

If it does, then fine. I've been through that song and dance before, but if I have to go through it again, then a warning is the least I could get.

"That is entirely up to you, (y/n)." Obi-Wan said simply.

I furrowed my brows, "What does that mean?"

"What Kenobi means is that your mind, energy, and composure are what will determine the outcome of your power enhancement." Windu interrupted, "So for the sake of us all, try to not cause another disaster."

I winced internally. That didn't exactly bring me any comfort. I nodded, too tired to care about his rude remarks.

I then closed my eyes, and took a deep breath as I prepared myself for something that could either be very catastrophic, or simply very helpful. Keeping my eyes closed, I uttered the ancient words used to bring the talisman to life, "Revelare tuum secretum imperium."

The moment I finished those words, I didn't feel pain. But instead, I felt sparks in my nervous system, like every fiber in my being was now awakened, just like this bracelet on my wrist. Just as I was told, I remained calm, and focused solely on what was happening to my body. All the fatigue from this week dissolved as my senses suddenly came to life. I felt like a whole new person, like I was reborn.

The sparks started at my feet, went up through my legs, then to my stomach. It was like the electric feeling was climbing a latter in my body. I could feel myself changing, but I can't explain it. All I know is that I have this unnatural burst of energy.

Then it clicked; my senses were being heightened, the new energy I had was a result of the power enhancement.

It was working, at last I'll be able to help the Jedi win this war. At last we'll have peace.
