Mae's POV:

Where has the time gone? Anakin's now six months old, but it seems just yesterday he was a newborn. My how the time has flown.

The throne seems extra uncomfortable today as I sit through an extremely boring trial of a Knight of Ren. Kylo must judge this, but I'm there incase I have an opinion since I am the supreme leader after all. I really just want to hold and old with Anakin. I could not care less about this trial. I'm not going to have an opinion because I don't care about the Knights of Ren.
I now wish I still trained children for them. Those were my good, happy times.

The trial is suddenly getting interesting when the knight starts yelling at Kylo. I can sense Kylo getting angry and send him a mental message. "I'll deal with him later."
He turns back and nods slightly. "JAIL HIM!" He yells and steps off the podium. I follow suit and walk out with him. Once were alone, Kylo spins around and takes off his helmet. "Mae, I want to handle this knight. If I'm not the one to make an example out of him, other knights will disobey my laws and orders also." I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose.
"Kylo, I'm also the supreme leader. My leadership and authority will be challenged, and you know I can't have that, hell I won't have that." Kylo rolls his eyes slightly. "Fine. We'll deal with the knight together. Tag team."
I chuckle softly softly. "Fine. We can do it together."

We both quickly place on our helmets and make our way to the cell. Kylo walks in first. I can't make out the conversation between the two but I soon get a message telling me to come in. I slowly walk in, my eyes falling on the knight. Fear radiates off him, towards Kylo and me. He's afraid of us. Very afraid I might add. Kylo senses the fear too and stalks towards him. He defies our attempts to make him talk and the torturing begins.

Luke's POV:

The visions are coming more and more. All of them about Mae. I keep having the one of her and Ben going at it.
Force visions aren't always true. That's what worries me. Are they false, or some of the few visions that are real for Jedi? Only time will tell. I worry for little Anakin though. If the prophecy rains true for Mae, both parents on the dark side, one being killed by the other, then losing him to the dark side. If Mae kills Kylo, she'll wipe Anakin's memories of him, not wanting him to know who is father actually was.

Mae's POV:

Once landing on a sandy planet in my one person ship I step onto the sandy planet, chills going through my body. I'm now on the planet where Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader come from. Tattooien. Chills run down my spine as I walk through a village, the houses and streets littered with bodies. I'm here without Kylo's knowledge, for I needed to do this alone. For some reason I've always felt drawn here. Just like Naboo. Something, something is pulling me here, and I don't understand why. I have no family, none alive anyway.
I trudge through the villages, looking for any signs of life, hopefully a child that's force sensitive. I suddenly feel another presence and I spin around, hand on my lightsaber. A child. She can't be older than two or three. The child's toddles towards me and I open my arms, taking her into my arms. She wraps her little arms around my neck, placing her face in my neck. "There's a scary man here dress in black. He's killing everyone who doesn't tell him where some lady is." I nod, placing her on the ground. "Stay close behind me." She nods and follows, I draw my lightsaber and slowly make my way through the village. I hear the crackle of a lightsaber against something. I motion the girl to stop and I slowly make my way closer, igniting my lightsaber. The figure spins around and I'm face to face with Kylo.

Anger, rage, sadness, fear.

Those four emotions coursed through my veins as he approached me. His lightsaber remained ablaze, causing me to back away from him. He continued stepping closer and I continued stepping back. "Vatrix!" He had the audacity to yell at me. I slowly turn to him, tears formed on my face. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" I yell, grabbing the little girl and running from him. I shut my mind off and away from him, not wanting him to know how hurt and weak I was at the moment. I could hear his heavy footsteps behind me. I quickly put the little girl in the smaller seat of my ship and ignited my lightsaber, getting ready to face off with Kylo. "Mae, please!" He yells, igniting his own. I step away from the ship and he follows suit. I soon charge at him, my anger and rage taking over and there we are, an all out lightsaber battle.

We've come close to killing one another a few times during the battle but the other one is just kick enough to get out of the way from meeting their demise. I jump towards him and soon feel a shooting pain in my right leg. I look down as I fall to the ground only to realize,

I no longer have a right leg.
