Ahsoka Tano was dead.

The shadows of the temple swirling around her like black paint in milk, she vaguely wondered if she would become one with the Force, having left the Order years earlier. It seemed so far away now: a distant memory. At least the years that followed contained happy memories; years and years spent with him...

But no. She would not think about him.

Ahsoka turned to the triangular entrance to the dark temple, contemplating its hidden secrets. Perhaps there was more to it, she thought, than the weapon Maul spoke of. "Something more..."

With a start, Ahsoka tried to turn but was rooted to the spot- bound by her death. "Who's there?" she called out, feeling like a scared youngling again. Things had changed since then. Far too much.

A swoop of wings swished above her, and the shadowy laugh of The Daughter was heard. Landing on a small outcrop, it bent over and raised itself up, and as it raised Ahsoka woke. Lifted up with the magics of Mortis, her eyes opened wide, one sapphire blue... and one blooming into teal. Again, laughter as the black shadows turned into golden light and entered Ahsoka's heart, drawing out the sorrow.

Eventually, it was done. Ahsoka Tano's eyes blinked once, twice, and she looked curiously at her surroundings.

"Kanan..." she muttered, light returning to her eyes. "Is he okay?"

Clear as crystal, the creamy Convor stepped out from her hiding place.

"They escaped. Their fate does not lie with this temple. Yours, however, does."

Ahsoka frowned. "Am I dead?"

"You were, you are and you will be," the creature replied smoothly, barely pausing for breath.

Ahsoka spent about a minute coming to terms with this. Eventually she asked the inevitable.

"So... What now?"

"Now," said the Daughter, flying on to her shoulder, "We must enter together."

So the Celestial and the Togruta walked into the temple.

*Wow... Ends and beginnings are really big things for me in a fanfic, aren't they. So! I'm at it again with a second fanfic, meaning (sadly) that less updates for each, more updates in total! Also, what would you guys think of me doing a Warrior Cats fanfiction? Let me know in the comments!
