The Returning Knight: A Star Wars Story

Chapter 4: Force And Fortune II

In the later stages of the morning, sitting at the dining table were Revan and Ahsoka. They were forced to eat cold meals seeing as both D-5cn and Sigil were missing and they both had no idea where they kept fresh supplies.

"Where do you think they went?" Revan asked. "I saw them head towards Taleucema after we were done training." She simply replied. Accepting the answer, Revan continued to eat. "Wait, what about your vision? What happened last night?" Ahsoka remembered. "Well i did have it again but with me knowing more about it, i have managed to come to small terms with it. Knowing it is a hit or miss. I'm better off ignoring it." She stated with a weird mixture of fear, sadness, hate and anger plastered across her face.

"Be wary of your emotions, Revan." Ahsoka cautioned. "They will lead you down the dark path. From which returning isn't possible. Quote "Once you go down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will."." She finished.

"You sound like an old hermit." Revan said with a grin on her face. "Well what i told you was what grandmaster Yoda always warned of." She replied. "Still doesn't make sense." Revan contradicted. "It will when you mature." Ahsoka said. "I'm sure it will." Revan said sarcastically.

She reminded Ahsoka of Anakin. If Anakin was a young girl that is. Remembering all the weird situations he got them in, made her sigh. "Something wrong?" Revan asked. "No. You just remind me of somebody." She replied.

The sound of a door opening however caught their attention. "I guess they must be back." Ahsoka stated. "Oh i don't think so." Revan said. "Why would you think that?" Ahsoka asked, amused. "It didn't come from the front of the ship but the port side." Revan said, rushing towards the source of the sound, Ahsoka right on her tail. Reaching close to the source of the noise, Revan drew out her pistol.

Leeking the corner she yelled "Freeze!". "Hey, it's me!" Sigil yelled back. "Oh it's just you." Revan said with a grin before noticing that he was wearing a medical coat and had several bacta patches over his leg. "What happened?" She demanded, placing her hands on her hips. "Oh you know just a nexu and the incompetent idiot known as, Rako Hardeen." He replied.

Ahsoka froze at the mention of the name Rako Hardeen. It brought back memories; memories of despair and betrayal; one of the many experiences that contributed to her leaving the Jedi order. "You alright?" Sigil asked, making Revan turn around to see Ahsoka's face. "Yeah i'm fine. Hardeen just brings back lots of bad memories." She said bitterly.

"Oh i'm sorry." Sigil said. "It's not your fault. You couldn't have known." Ahsoka said, dismissing his apology. "Where is 5cn?" Revan asked. "You will find out later." He said, walking off towards his own quarters.

Changing into a more casual outfit, Sigil headed to the armory. Opening the door to it, he examined his options, he would have to board a republic cruiser on his own, wearing heavy void combat armor. Going through it he picked out a shield generator and a Z-6 rotary blaster. and set them next to suit.

Their next lesson with Ahsoka, was still about understanding the force and centered around meditation but unlike yesterday, today's lesson still contained some training in telekinesis. After centering themselves in the force, they listened to Ahsoka's voice subconsciously as she instructed on what they should do and what they should be looking for. "Focus on the life force of living beings." She said a couple of times before they all sat in silence for hours.

Ahsoka opened her eyes and looked at the sun. It was approaching the horizon. "Okay you two get up." She announced. "What for?" Revan asked. "Telekinesis. The manipulation of objects through one's mind and the force." She explained. "Now for this lesson, reach out with your hand towards an object and feel its weight in the force. Don't be intimidated by its size. Size doesn't matter only in your the object is big." She said, levitating her hand towards a pebble she lifted off the ground with ease leaving Revan stunned and Sigil unfazed as he had encountered Jedi before.
