Kylo's POV:

I sit on the planet of Naboo, deep in its forest. It's just me here. Mae doesn't know I'm here, but I really didn't want her to know I was here. After my vision last night I need to get away from here. I've been trying to contact Anakin and Luke for hours but neither is responding.

"I will be there soon Kylo."

I get a sudden response from Luke and then sit there, listening for ships or guns or lightsabers or just anything that I should worry about being close too. I feel Luke's presence nearby. Soon he slowly walks towards me, smiling softly. "Ben. Its so good to see you. I sense you're troubled and concerned." I smile softly at him calling me Ben. Weird.

"Uncle Luke. I'm worried about Mae." I confess and he nods slightly. "I'm guessing you had a vision of some sort?" He inquired, rubbing his chin softly. I nod. "I had a vision where it was a man and a woman." Luke gives me a concerned look. "And did they get into a lightsaber battle?" I nod slowly. "I had the same vision last night." Chills went down my body and soon Luke looked up at me.

"There was a prophecy or legend long ago about a child who would soon become the most powerful Jedi, and Sith Lord to ever live. They would know every aspect, dark corner, and power the Force holds. No one would ever match their strength. But, their power would be their demise. As they grew they would forever be split down the middle. Dark, or Light? They would forever wonder this. But, in their lifetime they would do things that would nudge them towards the dark side. But, the final straw would be taking the life of the one they loved. They then would begin they're downfall into the dark side, their Jedi side lost forever. But, before they die, they'd destroy the Jedi order, and when they do meet their demise, they'd take the Sith with them. No one there to train the next generation.
I believe this child is Mae."

His last statement sent chills down my spine and my mind was spiraling. "Are you sure Luke?" Luke sighs and gently lays his hand upon my arm. "The dark side is pulling more and more at her." He sighs, looking up at me. "And the light side is pulling at you my nephew." I give him a look, not knowing what to think. "Uncle Luke, I just don't know what do." He smiles and pats my back softly. "Ben, just talk to Mae about it. If you have more visions, contact me about it." I nod and slowly walk back to my one person ship and Luke walks to his.

Once back to the base, I slowly climb out of my ship and begin walking towards the gardens. Mae agreed to meet me there once I got back. As I make my way to the gardens, my talk with Luke bounces around in my thoughts. "Lord Ren!" I suddenly look up and I'm in the garden. I lift off my helmet, looking to my right and see Mae. "Mae..." She smiles and collapses into my arms, holding me close to her. "What's wrong my love?" She whispers softly and runs her fingers along my jaw. "Nothing dear." I smile softly and place a soft kiss to her lips. She follows suit and we soon pull away.
Soon little Anakin is brought in by one of the sitters and gently placed in Mae's arms.

The sight of my son lightens my spirits slightly and I reach out, taking him into my arms. Mae's eyes are on us as I hold my son close. His little hand rests on my cheek. His big brown eyes meet mine and I smile wide. This life in my arms, I guess is the only thing keeping Mae on the light side.

Mae hums in the shower as I feed Anakin his bottle in the nursery. The water stops and Anakin's bottle becomes empty. Once burped, I lay him down in his crib, he soon falls asleep. Once walking back into the main room, I kiss Mae's forehead before she lays down.

I lay next to her until she's asleep. I make my way to the gardens, replaying the prophecy Luke told of.

"There was a prophecy or legend long ago about a child who would be born, becoming the most powerful Jedi, and Sith Lord to ever live. They would know every aspect, dark corner, and power the Force holds. No one would ever match their strength. But, their power would be their demise. As they grew they would forever be split down the middle. Dark, or Light? They would forever wonder this. But, in their lifetime they would do things that would judge them towards the dark side. But, the final straw would be taking the life of the one they loved. They then would begin they're downfall into the dark side, their Jedi side lost forever. But, before they die, they'd destroy the Jedi order, and when they do meet their demise, they'd take the Sith with them. No one there to train the next generation.
I believe this child is Mae."

The prophecy echoes through my head. Could Mae truly be the one to fulfill this prophecy? I mean, will Mae kill me and take the force down in her death? Will she finish the force forever, leaving nothing, and no one behind?

She'll be not the chosen one, but the destruction.
