Obi wan dreamed he was alone in a dark void. The shadows whispered about dark things and he had to refuse them. The shadows faded and he was alone in the nothingness. He was alone in a featureless world until what seemed like a spotlight descended on him, spreading out, irradicating the nothingness and filling it with pure light.
When the Light faded, he was standing in the middle of a lush green park with a woman. She had golden hair that seemed to turn the light pure, eyes that glowed golden with peaceful power, and a lithe body clothed in fine white silk that seemed to have rainbows woven into it. She was gorgeous and strangely familiar even though he was sure he had never seen her before.
"Who are you?" He asked, even though he was fairly certain.
"I have gone by many name but you know me as the Force." She said in a soft but strong voice that invoked old memories.
"This form embodies the Light Side that you serve. But my other form-" she flickered. Her hair turning black as midnight, red eyes glowing with lust and power, same lean body except clad in an armour like dress that seemed to have flames rippling in it. "Reflects my other aspect: the Dark Side." She said in a deep, melodious, tantalizing voice. She flickered back to her Light form which relieved Obi wan and said "You have been wounded, Obi wan Kenobi. If your spirit were not so strong you would have faded. No one has every wielded the Light Side like that before. It drained you of all strength. Even I do not know if you shall survive."
Obi wan looked at her. He hadn't realized exactly what he had done until this moment. He had used the Force in such a pure form that it overwhelmed his body. It should have burst every cell in his body, turning him to dust like the former emperor. But it hadn't. It had simply resulted in a complete Force Burnout that had left him barely alive. Barely.
He had just been told that he may not survive. He looked the woman straight in the eye. "How do I get back to the Valley of the Force?" She smiled and nodded as if he had just passed a test. "I can send you back but your body will be in immense pain and you shall not be able to wake for some time. Even I do not know how long. There will be some damage to your physical form as well. It may not be curable."
Obi wan nodded tersely. "I understand. I still want to get back."
Force smiled at him and nodded approvingly. "I wish to give you something." She opened her hand and the lightsaber he had used in his battle with Sidious appeared. The handle was sleek and elegant. "I wish for you to have this. It is powered by my eternal energy, making it much stronger than a normal blade." She raised a finger in warning. "Remember. Be careful how you use the Force. You have the potential to end up here agin and if you do there is no going back. This blade is very sensitive and will pick up on your use of the Force. Don't over do it." Obi wan nodded and attached the lightsaber to his belt.
Force pressed her hands together and the world disappeared.
