Forgotten, But Not Lost

Chapter 38

Everything that she ever felt or thought about her life changed in an instant. To know that your grandfather was someone the whole galaxy at one point was deeply afraid of and for good reason. Emperor Palpatine was not someone that had sympathy for the ones he ruled over, he was cruel and powerful. To know she came from a man so vile made Amar's skin crawl, so many things added up in her head. Ben Solo came from the line of Darth Vader and Amar came from Palpatine, that was not a coincidence.

Amar had to get out of the house that was now feeling very confined, she needed fresh air. Amar ran out of the blast doors and into the cool dense Coruscant air. She knew she didn't have anywhere to go, but she needed to feel the air on her face and think over what she had just been told. It was a lot of information to take in at once, Amar had found out why her parents lived in hiding, but now to know your full lineage, was just too much for Amar to handle. If only that it had been a lie from Snoke, like his other words he said with his slithering tongue.

Amar ran until she found a place that looked over the once brightly lit city, that now laid in dust and debris. The moon was out and casted a bright light over the planet, in the distance Amar could hear some type of creatures howling in the night. Amar sat down on a ledge to find some peace and quiet away from her other companions so she could really go over everything she had found out.

Amar felt like she was a puppet in her own life, but she couldn't understand why she feared her own grandfather so much, he was gone along with his precious Empire...

A dark feeling grew within Amar and she heard a voice in her head.

Child, you think I am really gone? I was never gone, I have been with you since you were born, grandchild. I will always be with you, you are my blood and there is no changing that.

Amar's skin crawled as she heard that familiar voice inside her head, her grandfather had been the one talking to her and she didn't even know who exactly he was at the time. For one that meant he could get inside her head, which could be dangerous. What was he capable of? What could he orchestrate?

Everything about Amar's Jedi trials were coming true, if only she had taken them seriously enough to keep Ben and herself away from danger and not listen to the voice they had heard in their heads. The thought occurred to Amar, the voice they both heard in their head was Snoke's...Was it actually Snoke? If her grandfather could access her head, did that mean he also accessed Ben's?

There was so many things wrong with what was happening, making Amar spin into a full blown panic attack. Her life seemed like it had been set up from before she was even born and there were many players in the game. Her family and Ben were pawns within Palpatine's game. Who else was being played?

The howling of the creatures she heard started to get closer and closer. Amar had no form of weapon so she needed to make her way back to the house. She got up and quickly ran back towards the house, but in the force she could sense a creature on her tail. Amar stopped, she knew she wouldn't be able to outrun it, if she could convince the creature through the force not to harm her, that would be her only tactic.

Amar closed her eyes, she could feel it approach on her right side. She opened her eyes to find a large Loth-Wolf standing in front of her. Amar's breathing hitched, she had felt a familiar presence, almost like a long lost friend standing in front of her. The wolf stared intently at Amar, no one said anything, but Amar was lost inside the wolf's eyes. Amar was consumed in a vision the wolf was showing her in her mind, the wolves from Lothal had great presence in the force, hence why he was able to show her the vision.

The vision showed her a younger version of her father, training with what she assumed to be his Master. Amar knew nothing about her father's past, but she did know he was trained in the ways of the Jedi for a time. The vision shifted to an awful moment her father had gone through. His Jedi Master and Mentor holding off an imminent explosion with the force from causing harm to the rest of the Rebellion team. Ezra was made to leave his Master Kanan Jarrus behind, so he could sacrifice himself for the greater good of the Rebellion.

That day her father had lost his mentor and friend. The vision shifted to the same wolf standing in front of her, that stood now in front of her father. Amar could feel through the force that Kanan's spirit had taken over the wolf. Kanan Jarrus lived on through the Loth-wolf Dume, the force had granted him that after he sacrificed himself for others. Amar knew this wolf came in peace now and trusted him completely, it was her father's master after all.

The vision continued, Amar was now being shown her grandfather in the flesh giving out orders to an assassin. Amar knew she was only an onlooker and not really standing there with the figures. Her grandfather was giving what seemed to be a hit order.

"I need you to find my grandchild, If you need kill her parents, they are weak and useless to me. After that I want you to find the rest of my grandchildren and bring them all to me, Ochi." Palpatine asked of the Sith assassin.

Amar's vision was brought to the wolf standing in front of her on Coruscant. Amar bowed to the wolf and thanked him for giving her this vision to help her understand more about her past.

Amar continued to walk back to house, She had just been told through the vision, that she was not the only grandchild of Palpatine. There were more out there. Had they all been taken to him like he had asked? Was she the only one left?

Deep down Amar knew that was not the case. Her thoughts went back to the vision she had in her trials of the Lady Sith that sat upon the throne. She remembered what she looked like and something about her was significant. She felt some kind of connection that resembled the one she had with Ben. Since her bond had been shattered between them, maybe it had been transferred instead of destroyed?

All Amar knew at this time was that she was not prepared for what her future held, but she needed to be. Her moment was coming to where she was going to have to face her grandfather, she knew he couldn't be left to thrive wherever he was, she needed to stop him no matter what. Her girls would be his next target, she knew her grandfather was already trying to consume their minds, at least with Iris.

Amar thought about why her grandfather needed all of his descendants there, why did he need us? He must have had a good enough reason. He was going above and beyond to have them all there and for what? Amar could feel in the pit of her stomach that it was not because he wanted his family there, no, it was because he needed to use them somehow. Amar needed to find all of his grandchildren and try and prevent whatever it was he needed them for from happening.

If Palpatine really was the one orchestrating whole time and used pawns such as Snoke to keep in the shadows to prevent anyone knowing who was really behind it, then, Amar knew she was going to need help. Amar knew she was going to have to find Palpatine and face him, if she could try and stop him and protect his other grandchildren and Ben from further torment, then she had to try. It was time to stop living in fear from what her true destiny was, she was going to take this head on.

Amar awoke a fews days after they arrived to find her parents, Ahsoka, and Sabine sitting in the living quarters watching a live hologram. It was a live feed coming directly from the First Order, in the hologram it was a tall skinny pasty man giving the news.

"This is General Hux of the First Order." The man said in the hologram.

Amar could tell this man was upset and looked like he had taken a beating.

"It comes with great sadness that our Supreme Leader Snoke has been murdered. The criminal behind his murder was no other than the Scavenger scum of Jakku."

In the hologram it changed to an image of a girl that Amar quickly recognized. It was the girl from the Sith throne, she looked younger and softer than the one of her vision. As if she was being told inside her head she knew the girls name instantly and said it out loud with the hologram.

"Rey." Both General Hux and Amar said simultaneously.

Everyone looked at Amar with shock and then back to the hologram.

"If you see this fugitive, we ask of you to please turn her over to the First Order, she is very dangerous. With the fall of Leader Snoke, the First Order is now being handed down. All hail Supreme Leader Kylo Ren!"
