Crossroads (Jedi X Reader)

Chapter 1: Choice

Kaiya Horada, a Jedi and commanding General to the clone army of the Republic, fighting in many wars including the battle of Kamino, Kashyyyk, battle on Umbara and many other battles with many good and bad memories, some she wants to remember, and some she wants to forget from her mind.

Holding her lightsaber steady, her grip tight on the hilt, her palms beginning to sweat she faces her master Anakin Skywalker his dark brown eyes looking straight into hers.

Skywalker didn't seem as tough as she thought he was, that was until she saw him in action on Umbara, his blue lightsaber lighting up the dark skies of Umbara, nothing but his bright blue lightsaber and the 501st legion leading the fight, she wasn't on Umbara long but while she was she took in every second of it from seeing her clone brothers fall to the Umbarans falling which she wished she saw more of.

Kaiya trusted the clones with her life, sticking by her side in case she needed any assistance, she always looked up to the 501st legion, but she wasn't always with them for every battle which bothered her greatly.

"Remember Kaiya trust the force, it is not an enemy nor is it a friend, trust it with your life, feel it's energy."

Anakin didn't take everything very hard on her, he trusted her more than he trusted any one else other than his friend, Kenobi who never agreed with anything that Anakin had planned for any mission.

"You ready?"

Kaiya didn't always have the chance to train with her master, either she was off on a mission or her master was off on a mission, either way she enjoyed every minute of getting time to train even though she didn't like how much he pushed her around.

"I'm ready when you are master."

Her master stood tall in front of her igniting his lightsaber, her lightsaber already activated glowing a bright blue.

She preferred the color blue, it showed how much power she has as a Jedi, how much trust goes in to a single weapon only used by the Jedi.

Anakin quickly took his first hit meeting his lightsaber with hers, the crackling of the lightsabers ringing in her ears, a sound she hadn't heard since the battle on Kashyyyk.

After practicing many rounds of fighting skills with her master she gave up halfway flipping the switch of her lightsaber and letting it hang at her side, her hand still tightly gripped around it.

"Master I think this is too much."

"What do you mean Kaiya?" Her master replies turning off his lightsaber and clipping it back onto his belt.

"I mean that... don't you think after all the battles I've been involved in I don't need as much training."

"Kaiya, look. I'm just trying to protect you, and as your master the only way I can protect you is to teach you how to protect yourself in any situation."

Her master always agreed with everything she had to say even if he didn't agree with it, he wanted to do whatever it took to get her to understand everything that was going on and prepare her for what was to come no matter what it was.

"I don't know master Skywalker, but... I don't think I can do any more of this." She says loosing her grip on her lightsaber and holding it in front of her master who gladly took it from her holding it in his hand.

"You sure about this Kaiya? The Jedi order is your life, you can't just walk away like this."

"I understand that master, but it's the right thing to do." She sighs through her words and continues.
"I know it might not be the right choice, but it's for the best, I've been involved in many wars master, I've lost so many men, so many soldiers, it's all to much."
