Hello, master. It’s been a while. Part 3.
Sometimes Anakin thought that his whole life consists of a continuous white and blue radiance of hyperspace, the buzz of a lightsword and the light of distant stars. He could walk around the Republican cruiser with his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back, never stumbling or falling.
He, of course, told Padmé that he also dreams of the end of the Clone Wars. Part of his heart sincerely wished for peaceful life, but ... After a week at home, on Coruscant, immersed in simple family duties, listening to Amidala's eternal stories about politicians, Anakin began get tired.
It was hard for him to admit even to himself, that only on the battlefield, in the thick of events, on the rescue missions, he felt truly alive. He understood all “what for” and “why I’m fighting”. He really wants bring peace and order in the Galaxy.
Sitting in a soft armchair on a stuffy Coruscant, you can’t bring peace to the Galaxy ...
He really believed this, and in his jokes about the clumsy and useless diplomacy (those jokes always make his wife upset), there was only a shadow of the jokes.
Anakin knew that some in the Order feared that the young Skywalker was enjoying fighting (for example, Master Windu or Madam Jocasta), but that was not entirely true. He saw so many deaths and yet, every time they were told about the losses among the clones or civilians, Skywalker felt himself a loser.
Did not have time to save ... again ...
Oh, there are always be Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Rex – by his side, behind his back! ... Sometimes Anakin thought his teacher and padawan were the only thing that kept him from ending his Jedi path. No, he was not going to become a Sith at all, but Anakin was sure, he said at least a word - and Chancellor Palpatine would have made him into the grand admirals of the Great Army of the Republic.
And now… Obi-Wan was still there, as was Captain Rex, but not Ahsoka.
It's been several months now, and still it's hurting. Obi-Wan is going through, and it’s clear – Kenobi is worried for both of them, even if he don’t voice it.
I must stop being an egoist. And do not raise the topic with Satine, unless the master himself suddenly wants to open up.
They arrived at the base, where Captain Rex, who for some reason could not explain by holo-communication who their mysterious and very important ally was, summoned them.
- All right, Rex, what's so important that you brought us all the way back here?
It was supposed to be a joke, and Anakin even looked back at Obi-Wan, who stared in shock at the hologram before the captain with a strange longing. Skywalker looked away, and ... It was she! His Snips!
Togruta stood with her back to him, and next to her was a silhouette of the Mandalorian warrior. Anakin could not notice how Obi-Wan would run the anxious gaze from Skywalker to Tano and back. Rex looked up from the side of Ahsoka, looked at the Jedi Knights and again at his former Commander. For a moment, Anakin even thought that Rex was trying to hold back a smile.
The figure of a young girl on the hologram came alive, turned her head first, and then turned around the whole body. Her eyes were riveted to her old master, and Anakin could not immediately read the expression on her face. She frowned, as if she smiled. As if she was just as uneasy as him.
Then she looked at him with her huge blue eyes, and every line of her face was filled with tranquility and nobility. Jedi, never passed all the rituals of the Order.
- Hello, master. It’s been a while.
Well ... maybe it isn’t too late. Maybe not everything is lost.
