Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker

She turns just as her shelter falls on top of her for the third time, yelping in shock. "Oh come on!" She shouts and uses the force to get everything off of her, dusting herself off as she stands up. "As fine as I can be after that crash, stranger, any chance you know where we are? Or have a eay to get off this planet? I really don't have time to waste waiting around for help"

“You’re on Seluccami.” Maul answered plainly. “Nearest spaceport is a three day’s walk from here, that’s if you don’t convince a farmer to loan you a beast to ride. However, I have a rendezvous tomorrow, a ship to be specific, and am willing to offer you passage.” He explained, holding his hand out, and the debris begins floating around and forming a stable shelter.

She watches in awe as he makes the shelter as if it's nothing. "I would appreciate that a lot... you can use the force too?" She turns back to him, unsure if she should actually trust him or not but he hasn't shown any hostility yet so he can't be tbat bad, or at least that's what she hopes

“Of course. I have mastered the Force, and now the Force serves me. I hear you Jedi have a similar chant.” Maul answered casually as he walked into the shelter, and lowered his hood, revealing his face marking and his crown of horns. With another wave of his hand, more parts floated over and became makeshift table and chairs. “Come, sit. Let us have a chat.”

She tilts her head but follows him in, sitting down across from him at the makeshift table. "Something similar, yeah... are you a retired jedi or something? I'm not aware of any other groups currently operating that teach how to use the force." She uses the force to retrieve the supplies that survived the crash, food and water rations, putting them on the table

“I was never a Jedi. And I am far from retired.” Maul said almost waspishly as he rubbed his legs without realizing it. “In fact, it was a Jedi who had destroyed my life. Cut me in half and left me for dead at the bottom of a plasma refinery.”

She knits her brows together, perplexed. "That... sounds like you're a sith... but I was taught they aren't around anymore." She's far more hesitant to trust him now, but still he helped her without any strings attached yet. She's conflicted and doesn't know what to think of him yet

"Um... Master Yoda says something like... fear leads to anger... anger leads to... hate... and hate leads to... something..." she frowns, pursing her lips. "I didn't listen the best in my classes... everyone says I'm a pogeny but I struggle to focus a lot... the force can be pretty distracting itself," she sighs. "I guess you got a point though, if I wasn't scared of the ship exploding I wouldn't have been so quick to get the supplies I could and get away from it before it could..."

“Exactly.” Maul said with a smirk. “And there’s so much more than the Jedi would teach you. Yoda is a brilliant being in his own right, but he has been a Jedi for too long, he cannot imagine how they could be wrong, and now there’s a whole war involving the Jedi!” Maul laughed then. “So much for peacekeepers! They plunged themselves and the galaxy into war all because of two Sith who have been under their noses this entire time! And yet, they did not see Dooku coming until it was too late, and the same will got for Sidious.”

"Wait, so Dooku, who's leading the separatists, is a sith and this Sidious guy who's in charge of him is directly under the Jedi's noses?" She pales, "that means they already know what we're doing and can hurt people easier, doesn't it? The whole reason we're in this war is to try and keep civilians safe... that's what the other jedi masters say... Master Yoda tends not to answer those types of questions very clearly, though..."

“That may have been the initial reasoning. Or perhaps what the high council tells themselves to help them sleep better. But make no mistake child, this is a power struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. And the Sith have been preparing for this for a thousand years.” Maul explained patiently. “And in those thousand years, the Jedi order has been on the decline. They’ve gone from millions of Jedi, positioned at various outposts in the galaxy, to ten thousand, all living in one temple, becoming close to the Senate, waiting for the senate’s permission before stepping in and helping those they claim to protect.”

Her frown deepens and she fidgets with her fingers, the force coming easy to her as she uses it to make two servings of rations. "So... we failed before the war ever actually started... the sith have every upper hand possible... the light side of the force really is shrinking..." she keeps her gaze down, her voice softening. "That's not exactly fair to the kids that literally don't remember anything before the jedi like me... what are we supposed to do if the Jedi fall? Are the sith just going to kill us all?" She looks up at him again

“No.” Maul said plainly. “The Sith wish to rule, and it is impossible to rule a galaxy of corpses. However, my former master has another goal; immortality.” He revealed. “Even when I was his apprentice, he was obsessed with it. His ambition would destroy the galaxy so long as he alone lived. Stopping him, is my goal.” He admits. “However the Jedi would not listen to me. They’d see me and try to kill me. So I must find another way of disrupting his plans.”

"Well... maybe some good faith would help? You're helping me when you don't have to, maybe the order will accept your help because of that... would you be willing to settle for a non lethal revenge?" She tilts her head

“Perhaps.” Maul said with a sigh. “I know you were being sent to the war, I presume your master is there waiting for you. May I ask what planet?”

"Yeah, but I'm not convinced that the Jedi I was assigned to knows I'm even coming. I think I'm just how Obi Wan plans to make his old padawan take responsibility. I was going to Christophsis. They're struggling to even get news to and from the planet, let alone backup... everybody who died in the crash were clones assigned as reinforcements... they were really nice..."

Maul considers Ahsoka for a moment. “Were you able to bury them?” He asked softly.

"No, but I did manage to make headstones... I'm not the best at meditating so I carved some stones to center myself..." she admits. "14 year olds aren't exactly known for their patience"

“Hm, how do the Jedi help you learn patience?” Maul asked. “My master left me on a planet inhabited by fierce predators. To survive I had to learn to be patient.”

"Mostly just telling us to meditate... sometimes I wonder if meditating us just their way of getting us kids to leave them alone for a while. I've been told I can be annoying when I get curious," Ahsoka shrugs

"The Jedi teach a similar chant, it goes "I'm with the Force and the Force is with me", it's less... aggressive?" She shrugs. "Well, I'm not in charge of those kinds of decisions. I'm barely in charge of what I eat from day to day. I get like two options for lunch, the rest of the meals are decided for us before the day even starts"

Maul reached under his cloak and pulled out a bag of dried meat. “Here. Eat some.” He offered her. “If I remember my biology texts correctly, Togruta are carnivorous by nature. Much like my people.”

Her eyes light up and she rather eagerly takes some. "Thank you, yes. Rations work for the nutrients we need but nothing beats real meat"

Maul chuckles at Ahsoka. “So tell me young one,” he began, “when you’re a knight, what do you want to do within the order? I know the Jedi allow their members to pick, for lack of a better term, professions within the order. So which one appeals to you? Explorer, recruitment, knowledge or diplomacy?”

"I... don't honestly know... I figured it would be better to decide that as a padawan than a youngling, since padawan's have to try a little of everything during the war right now... I've been in youngling training since before I can even remember, so unlike other padawans I didn't grow up with any other dreams of what I would be when I'm older. I always knew I'd end up a jedi," she shrugs, her normally carefully hidden enlarged canines on display as she rips into the dried meat wirh ease

She turns just as her shelter falls on top of her for the third time, yelping in shock. "Oh come on!" She shouts and uses the force to get everything off of her, dusting herself off as she stands up. "As fine as I can be after that crash, stranger, any chance you know where we are? Or have a eay to get off this planet? I really don't have time to waste waiting around for help"

“That may have been the initial reasoning. Or perhaps what the high council tells themselves to help them sleep better. But make no mistake child, this is a power struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. And the Sith have been preparing for this for a thousand years.” Maul explained patiently. “And in those thousand years, the Jedi order has been on the decline. They’ve gone from millions of Jedi, positioned at various outposts in the galaxy, to ten thousand, all living in one temple, becoming close to the Senate, waiting for the senate’s permission before stepping in and helping those they claim to protect.”

Her frown deepens and she fidgets with her fingers, the force coming easy to her as she uses it to make two servings of rations. "So... we failed before the war ever actually started... the sith have every upper hand possible... the light side of the force really is shrinking..." she keeps her gaze down, her voice softening. "That's not exactly fair to the kids that literally don't remember anything before the jedi like me... what are we supposed to do if the Jedi fall? Are the sith just going to kill us all?" She looks up at him again

“No.” Maul said plainly. “The Sith wish to rule, and it is impossible to rule a galaxy of corpses. However, my former master has another goal; immortality.” He revealed. “Even when I was his apprentice, he was obsessed with it. His ambition would destroy the galaxy so long as he alone lived. Stopping him, is my goal.” He admits. “However the Jedi would not listen to me. They’d see me and try to kill me. So I must find another way of disrupting his plans.”

"Well... maybe some good faith would help? You're helping me when you don't have to, maybe the order will accept your help because of that... would you be willing to settle for a non lethal revenge?" She tilts her head

“Perhaps.” Maul said with a sigh. “I know you were being sent to the war, I presume your master is there waiting for you. May I ask what planet?”

"Yeah, but I'm not convinced that the Jedi I was assigned to knows I'm even coming. I think I'm just how Obi Wan plans to make his old padawan take responsibility. I was going to Christophsis. They're struggling to even get news to and from the planet, let alone backup... everybody who died in the crash were clones assigned as reinforcements... they were really nice..."

Maul considers Ahsoka for a moment. “Were you able to bury them?” He asked softly.

"No, but I did manage to make headstones... I'm not the best at meditating so I carved some stones to center myself..." she admits. "14 year olds aren't exactly known for their patience"

She turns just as her shelter falls on top of her for the third time, yelping in shock. "Oh come on!" She shouts and uses the force to get everything off of her, dusting herself off as she stands up. "As fine as I can be after that crash, stranger, any chance you know where we are? Or have a eay to get off this planet? I really don't have time to waste waiting around for help"

“You’re on Seluccami.” Maul answered plainly. “Nearest spaceport is a three day’s walk from here, that’s if you don’t convince a farmer to loan you a beast to ride. However, I have a rendezvous tomorrow, a ship to be specific, and am willing to offer you passage.” He explained, holding his hand out, and the debris begins floating around and forming a stable shelter.

She watches in awe as he makes the shelter as if it's nothing. "I would appreciate that a lot... you can use the force too?" She turns back to him, unsure if she should actually trust him or not but he hasn't shown any hostility yet so he can't be tbat bad, or at least that's what she hopes

“Of course. I have mastered the Force, and now the Force serves me. I hear you Jedi have a similar chant.” Maul answered casually as he walked into the shelter, and lowered his hood, revealing his face marking and his crown of horns. With another wave of his hand, more parts floated over and became makeshift table and chairs. “Come, sit. Let us have a chat.”

She tilts her head but follows him in, sitting down across from him at the makeshift table. "Something similar, yeah... are you a retired jedi or something? I'm not aware of any other groups currently operating that teach how to use the force." She uses the force to retrieve the supplies that survived the crash, food and water rations, putting them on the table

“I was never a Jedi. And I am far from retired.” Maul said almost waspishly as he rubbed his legs without realizing it. “In fact, it was a Jedi who had destroyed my life. Cut me in half and left me for dead at the bottom of a plasma refinery.”

She knits her brows together, perplexed. "That... sounds like you're a sith... but I was taught they aren't around anymore." She's far more hesitant to trust him now, but still he helped her without any strings attached yet. She's conflicted and doesn't know what to think of him yet

"Um... Master Yoda says something like... fear leads to anger... anger leads to... hate... and hate leads to... something..." she frowns, pursing her lips. "I didn't listen the best in my classes... everyone says I'm a pogeny but I struggle to focus a lot... the force can be pretty distracting itself," she sighs. "I guess you got a point though, if I wasn't scared of the ship exploding I wouldn't have been so quick to get the supplies I could and get away from it before it could..."

“Exactly.” Maul said with a smirk. “And there’s so much more than the Jedi would teach you. Yoda is a brilliant being in his own right, but he has been a Jedi for too long, he cannot imagine how they could be wrong, and now there’s a whole war involving the Jedi!” Maul laughed then. “So much for peacekeepers! They plunged themselves and the galaxy into war all because of two Sith who have been under their noses this entire time! And yet, they did not see Dooku coming until it was too late, and the same will got for Sidious.”

"Wait, so Dooku, who's leading the separatists, is a sith and this Sidious guy who's in charge of him is directly under the Jedi's noses?" She pales, "that means they already know what we're doing and can hurt people easier, doesn't it? The whole reason we're in this war is to try and keep civilians safe... that's what the other jedi masters say... Master Yoda tends not to answer those types of questions very clearly, though..."

“That may have been the initial reasoning. Or perhaps what the high council tells themselves to help them sleep better.

She watches in awe as he makes the shelter as if it's nothing. "I would appreciate that a lot... you can use the force too?" She turns back to him, unsure if she should actually trust him or not but he hasn't shown any hostility yet so he can't be tbat bad, or at least that's what she hopes

She turns just as her shelter falls on top of her for the third time, yelping in shock. "Oh come on!" She shouts and uses the force to get everything off of her, dusting herself off as she stands up. "As fine as I can be after that crash, stranger, any chance you know where we are? Or have a eay to get off this planet? I really don't have time to waste waiting around for help"

“Do or do not Ben, there is no try.” Luke said wisely. “Come on, you can do it.”

Ben immediately drops the rocks and stares at his uncle. "That doesnt even make any sense! Did you drink something weird again?! You cant do anything without trying first!"

Luke smirked. “Yeah that one took me a while to figure out too. But it was one of the best lessons Master Yoda gave me.” He admitted.

"Are you sure that was an actual lesson?! He sounds crazy!" Ben argues, already tired and upset and the day has barely begun. Starting his training later on in life has done no good for his attitude

Luke sighed, then sat down across from Ben, and closed his eyes. Almost immediately the stones started to float, along with the large boulder at the edge of the clearing, Artoo, and Luke himself. Then after a moment everything was set back down gently. “It’s thanks to that lesson that I’m able to do that.” He explained opening his eyes. “I’ll give you some time to figure out what that phrase means. If you can’t, I’ll explain it to you.”

His face falls more seeing what his uncle can do. He feels like he'll never be that strong. "What if I never get the hang of it the way you want...? Dad doesn't even believe in the force and he's been around you and mom for years"

Ben sighs and nods, "fine..." There's anxiety bubbling into resentment inside him. He's never been good with the emotional aspects of the force, just like the grandfather he idolizes

“Ben, I can feel your anxiety from here.” Luke said kindly. “Breathe. In through the nose, out the mouth. That’ll help you focus.”

Ben closes his eyes and breathes how he's told. "Sorry, uncle... it feels like its been getting worse lately..."

“I know. But you have nothing to be anxious about here.” Luke said reassuringly. “You’re already parsecs ahead of the other students. In fact, I think you’re almost ready for the next step in your training.”

"I feel like I'm behind..." he mumbles, furrowing his brows. "I mean, all those stories you've told me of the old jedi sounds like by my age every padawan was being knighted..."

“I heard he wasn’t afraid to cut limbs off the inquisitors.” Luke commented as he watched Ben run the course. “Ahsoka, may I speak with you about something?” He asked softly, so Ben wouldn’t overhear.

"Of course, Luke, anything," Ahsoka looks over to him. "Except your parents love life"

Ahsoka frowns, looking over at Ben again. "Then perhaps I should be the one teaching him... the Daughter gave me her life, and I worked with your father, who better to ground him to the light than the light itself and remind him that his grandfather wouldn't want him to follow in his footsteps?"

Luke nodded. “Normally I’d agree with you, but we’re at the point in training where it’s counter productive to change teachers.” He admitted. “But, Artoo says that Master Kenobi also had a hand in your training, maybe we could co-teach?” He suggested. “We could also call Father’s spirit to keep an eye on him at night. That’s when the influence is at its strongest I fear.”

Luke’s laughing. “Oh man, I needed that laugh!” He said after a moment. “Ben, come over here and meet the spirit of your grandfather!”
