Chapter 2: First Lesson

It wasn't bright yet, but Luke could see clearly as if it was morning in the darkness of Tatooine. Long training sessions with the Dead Jedi had taught him this. Now ironically he was going to teach his father, whom was merely just a boy.

To try save him, from the dark lord that had ensnared him in a trap that would destroy the future. Brought out of his thinking, Luke felt his father's presence walk over towards him.

"What are you doing?"

"I am meditating, what are you doing?" Luke asks and opens his eyes with a smile.

"I don't know… I want to learn to be a Jedi, like you." Anakin says and smiles pearly white teeth.

"Well first lesson, come sit... By me, I will teach you to meditate son. It's very important to Jedi. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. ...Make no effort to control the breath; simply breathe naturally. I usually say the Jedi code when I can't concentrate. Let me tell you it."

Anakin listened to his father speak and was on edge when he never spoke the words right away. So after a minute of silence Anakin sighed.

"What is the Code Father?"

Luke looked shocked as if he forgot something.

"Right, listen to the words I speak, because you will need to remember them all the time, you want to be a Jedi, this is what they say: "There is no emotion, there is PEACE.

There is no ignorance, there is KNOWLEDGE.

There is no passion, there is SERENITY.

There is no chaos, there is HARMONY.

There is no death, there is the FORCE."

Anakin gasped, he could feel the power in those words, and he wanted to be like his kind father and do what is needed to rid evil this world.

"Ani…I am going to tell you a code that is the opposite. You can use it, it's only for evil no matter what. My own father went to the Dark Side…. I don't want you too. Everything I do and say is to save you. Make you a strong man, a good honest Jedi."

Anakin nodded his blond hair bobbing with his nod.

"Peace is a lie, there is only PASSION.

Through passion, I gain STRENGTH.

Through strength, I gain POWER.

Through power, I gain VICTORY.

Through victory, my chains are BROKEN.

The Force shall set me FREE."

Anakin shivered, even though the lite heat of the day he felt it….The cold dark side that had corrupted his father's father.

All the way on Coruscant a man looked up as he felt the Force shift and he smiled. The smile was cruel and he tapped a number on the holo-net.

"It's time…."
