I swear this time it will be longer than last chapter (pls forgive me) also I have a YT channel but I'll mention that at the end of the book.
~ Back to the story ~
Ezra's POV
I've made my choice. It's the only way. I can't live with this burden. I have to become stronger. More powerful. Strong enough so that my friends can see.
I won't let anybody hurt my friends again.
Hera's POV
I've finished helping Kanan for the day. I want to make sure he's okay, he's the only person that I truly lov-
Nevermind on that thought. I have to check on Ezra. He's the one who's got it harder. Maybe even harder than the rest of us.
He doesn't talk to Kanan anymore. He doesn't want to be near Rex anymore. Poor kid, I can't imagining holding so much burden at such a young age. From what I heard the Battle of Malachor, he even lost his lightsaber. I wish I could help, but he seems to neglect me.
Something's changing inside him. I don't know what, but he's not the same boy who stole a few crates from the Empire. I'm starting to worry. I almost even feel scared of him...
Ezra's POV
Hatred. Emotion. Grief. Revenge. All of these things were flooding my mind. I thought about Maul, which made me want to scream. I want him to suffer as much as I am. I want revenge. The Sith Holocron started levitating. As the small pyramids on the sides opened I heard many voices, the voices of the dead, living and the in between.
- "What do you desire young Ezra Bridger?" said a sinister voice inside the holocron.
- "Power" I said, "I desire power, enough to destroy anybody who hurts my friends."
- "Use your hatred, emotion on your blade, have no mercy on your opponents, if they are meant to perish then let them" it responded
- "Will it make me stronger?" I said, "More powerful?"
-"The Darkside is strong in you boy, it consumes you, makes you see things clearly. The Darkside is capable of showing you things that not even your own master could show you" it concluded.
I closed the holocron. I had the right plan in mind. I have to do it. I want the Empire to suffer just as much as we did. I want to make beg for mercy. I want to slaughter Maul for what he did to Kanan.
But first things first, I need my lightsaber. I could go back to Malachor to retrieve some kyber crystal.
I already had one in mind. And I exactly where it is.
