AHTOHALLAN WAS A PLANET OF THE FORCE.
It was an old planet, an ancient place of religious order. It drew in Force power to grow a luscious forest. Its creatures weren't all force sensitive but most were.
Darth Vader remembered a time where he had asked to see it. His old master said one day. Vader knew he would see Ahtohallan one day, he just didn't think it would be like this or for this.
He had been hearing a voice for a few weeks now. An old voice and a soft one. One that didn't speak words but he could hear it calling to him anyways.
Well not to Vader but to Anakin.
Vader had ignored it for a while, pain flaming his insides and allowing him to ignore it easier. His master had ordered him to follow up with the Inqusitors and rebels on Lothal.
But that was a while ago and now, now he has time to follow the voice. He supposed somewhere deep down he felt like he was following the voice to find a way to bring his old self back.
But he was irredeemable and besides who would be there for him? Padmé is dead, his mother his dead, his unborn child is dead, Obi-Wan betrayed him and Ahsoka...
Ahsoka was complicated.
But Vader followed after the voice anyway and found himself at Ahtohallan's gates. His ship, The Executer, had stalled allowing him to gaze down on it.
He could sense Admiral Piett behind him, awaiting orders. That man was loyal, to whom Vader wasn't completely sure but he could sense more loyalty to him then the Emperor.
That could come in handy.
Vader gracefully turned, swirling around to march towards his ship. "Prepare for my departure, Admiral."
Piett nodded. "Of course sir,"
Vader didn't bother to keep tabs on the man knowing that the Admiral just would do it. He walked through his ship to the hangar where his ship was prepared with three troopers and Piett awaiting further instructions.
"Wait here," he told the Admiral. "And if the Emperor attempts to make contact tell him I'm indisposed and will make contact soon."
Piett nodded, saluted and walked off. The troopers walked into the ship, with Vader following in suit. The ship took off and headed towards the planet.
When the arrived, Vader silently ordered the troopers to stay put. Then he marched into the forests, walking until he heard the call.
It whispered to him and called him forward. Vader wasn't sure how long he walked forward until he stumbled upon a grove.
Trees arched around the small clearing with a simple but extravagant fountain in the middle. Vines climbed and weaved around the entire place, making it somewhat hard to walk.
