"Dark heritage" Star Wars Fanficion

Worthwhile smile

Luke opened his eyes. He was lying in the sand, in the middle of his usuall training ground, after getting shot in the circle. Eighty six shots blocked. He started counting after four or something rounds. Eighty six took approximetly five minutes. "You are getting better everyday. I use two swords and had to train far longer for such time" Ahsoka said to him last time. And yet he was still lying in sand. It was getting everywhere. Luke was finding rough flecks even hours after training under his clothing.

He got up and looked around. Saber he was with training was gone, just as Sabine and everyone else. Sun was low on the sky. He took a long nap here. Only Ahsoka stayed in meditative position. If it wasn't for her previous words, Luke would conclude she didn't even notice him waking up. Unlike her bird, that was gazing Luke carefully.

"You stayed to protect me from wolfs?" Luke asked.

"Wolfs from around here wouldn't attack you, unless you gave them a good reason." Ahsoka answered. "Stayed for peace and quiet. You could use some as well."

"Now I would use a sip of water."

"I have some here. Take it." Ahsoka didn't even flinch. She was sitting on her knees with closed eyes. Luke didn't say anything more, just came, grabbed a bottle and sitted down next to her. They spend a minute or two in silence, before Ahsoka finally opened her eyes and looked at the boy. "How are you doing overall?" She asked.

"Why do you ask?" Luke got concerned at sudden interest.

"No particular reason."

"I'm fine. I think could be worse."

"You think about the Inquisitor?"

"What about her? Are you gonna reproach me that I got her attention, because I wanted to teach some assholes a lesson?" Ahsoka gave look a jugdemental look. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't get involved there."

"I hope you're sincere, Luke." She continued after a moment. "Did you ever felt the same cold after?" She asked.

"I still don't know why I included that feeling in my relation. It's not important."

"It's very important. That's one of the ways our body reacts to dark side of the force."

Luke though about it for a moment. "How do I even use the dark side? It's not like I choose 'dark side, light side'. The way Yoda and you talk about it I could imagine it's like another, distinctive way of doing a force. But I do everything as usuall. Usually it's okay. Sometimes it's wrong. I don't get it."

"Now you are not sincere." Ahsoka commented.

"I mean..." Luke though about it for a moment. "After biding war, against that Inquisitor, I admit, I felt the cold and I kinda fueled myself with it. It helped me defeat her."

"Felt good, did it?" Ahsoka asked. Luke didn't say anything. He took another sip of water and went to pet the bird. It jumped away from him.

"Where did you get it?"

"On Mortis, I think." Ahsoka said.

"Mortis?"

"Planet of the force. The weirdest experience of my life."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"You will get long version at another occasion. In short, me, Obi-wan and Anakin got to meet the gods of the Force. The bird belonged to the Daughter, embodiment of The Light Side. It started following me after she gave her life to save mine."

"Save yours?"

"Anakin said she ressurected me."

"And this bird just started following you?"
