STAR WARS REBORN

Chapter 12 - My precious Lightsaber!

We both speculated that the gem might be a critical component with significant importance to my lightsabre that even 'the force' asserts my dreams.

After our talk, Anakin and I met up back with Padme. Padme watched us approaching her while looking at us with hopeful eyes as if asking a question, is everything good!? IS THAT CONVERSATION FINISHED!

"Austlar, Anakin. Did you to clear everything up?" Padme probed with a smile.

"We did mother…Father and….. I discussed many subjects we...I.. understand why both of you did what you had to do; I mean… not telling me about Anakin being my father". I say nervously and smile back.

Padme hugs me from the emotional moment while Anakin stands behind us, watching our interaction in silence. "I am sorry Austlar.. but now that everything is clear between us all, we can be a proper family, haha and many, many stories to tell you about your father and his hate for sand haha." Padme lightens up the mood and laughs.

"cough, cough" Anakin rapidly coughed, and his face became a bit red from a particular recalled memory when he courted Padme in his padawan days.

After the tacky moment and the hug, I looked back at Anakin and into his eyes to remind him about our objective. He eyed me and with a knowing shake of the head, let me know that he understands, before asking Padme. "Padme may I look at your jewellery?"

Padme turns to Anakin and says."Trying to dress to look pretty? She replied cheekily.

I quickly join the conversation. "No mother father isn't playing dress-up" I sneered at Anakin. "On a serious note mother, this has to do with my Jedi powers and some sort of jewellery that you may possess, we believe it may have some significant importance to me. "I explain and, then describe what we are looking for.

After my explanation, Padme is astounded and answers with a bit of awe." How did you even know I had this necklace. I received it from my mother as an ancestor heirloom."

Then Anakin joins in and explains how I knew it so much in detail and the importance of it for me.

"So what are you saying it may be a kyber crystal for a lightsaber?" Padme reasons for a second before continuing. "Fine come ill show you two."

So Anakin and I followed Padme who directed us to her chambers near her jewellery compartment before opening a High-tech safe box and retrieving a particular unique necklace. (In Star Wars canon I believe Padme possessed such a necklace with the 'gem' I didn't just make it up for plot convenience )

"Here, finally" Padme utters, while my eyes quickly jump to it, as I am into some daze as if I am looking at my flesh, which is out of place.

I subconsciously use the force to take it swiftly. However, as I use 'the force' the gem in a beautiful, sophisticated, gentle manner separates from the necklace elegantly and flies straight into my hand, while the necklace as if beforehand landed gently back into the safe as if there is no missing gem to it!

While this is happening, Padme abruptly shouts out with shock."Wait! What are you doing!"

I reply with some force. "Mother, this is kyber crystal it calls to me, even in my dreams… please can I take it? I will use our ancestor's gem to turn it into a fine lightsaber. It can be our families heirloom for my future children.

Padme stops for a second to think, tries to say something but suddenly looks at my expecting eyes as if a toy from the child is being taken away and Sighs. "Sigh… son this 'gem' is known as a Corusca stone it is precious..it has outstanding value in the whole galaxy.. please protect it."

"Thank you, mother! Thank you, I promise mother ill to protect it with my life. It will be our family heirloom!" I say, full of excitement before running away.

I Shout. "Father, Mother ill go and build my lightsabre, don't wait for me!"

….

I went far into the forest and discovered the cave, not too far where I found the Telos Holocron. The area is completely blocking and hiding all the use of the Darkside of the force. I am guessing this is put up by the 'being' previously so I could practice 'the force' without interference from the Jedi.

As I already received all other parts needed to build my lightsabre, I begin.

I close my eyes and focus. This kyber crystal is a special one I can feel it. It has a strong connection to the force, to me. Suddenly all the lightsabre parts float in the air everywhere the only thing that stays unchanging is the kyber crystal in the centre of all.

In my mind, I imagine an assortment of potential lightsabers I could shape. From ordinary to extraordinary but I land on one design. I assemble the sabre while attuning every piece to the Darkside of the force. Then I remember something, I read on the Holocron. It allows a practitioner to leave an imprint of his personality and a part of his own soul in the weapon. Hence, in a case of my physical death, I would survive within the blade like a Horcrux(from harry potter). Whenever someone uses the sabre other than me, my Horcrux would attempt to slowly possess the wielder until I fully control their body. It was a risky procedure to attempt as I knew only theoretical knowledge, but it was worth a try. At the same time, as I am just about to finish my lightsaber. I invoke the ancient language of the Sith and keep muttering the same words repeatedly. The Darkside of the force is then heavily concentrated on my body, and rapidly it explodes and releases into the parts of my lightsaber. During the process, I feel extreme pain, like part of my flesh, is being cut off piece by piece. My eyes turn intensely yellow, and I scream from the agony and fall to unconsciousness.

2 hours later…

I wake up all dirty and stiff I shriek from the pain until 5 minutes later it becomes easier to bear. The pain was triple times worse than weak force lighting by Palpatine. I look around and see a lightsabre neatly on the stone.

It seems the procedure was successful; my lightsaber has been built. The Darkside energy is still flowing through until shortly it clears up from the blade. Then I inspect it. The basic design of the blade is a Curved-hilt lightsaber but more elegant and smooth looking. The hilt of the lightsaber is entirely void black with silver trims around the edges.

I put my hands on the hilt while shaking from excitement. My own lightsaber! I take in the graceful design of the sabre without allowing my eyes to sway away from it.

"It is mine, my own, my precious!" I scream out loud with unnatural passion while the Darkside is all jumping around me, like moths to the flame.

I press the activation button on the hilt.

Vrummmummmmm FVISH!.

It is glorious! The colour of the blade is dark purple-blood red, not Sith red. I swing around the lightsaber and accidentally cut random pieces of rocks effortlessly. I feel as if some part of my flesh that was missing is now whole. I speculate because the lightsaber has part of my soul, I am more attached in it than usual. The blade is genuinely now part of myself.

I return to the villa and see Anakin and Padme on a date; it seems that both of them are laughing and having a good time. I am happy for them, my parents genuinely deserve each other, and the love they share. Then they notice me approaching with the new blade upon my belt proudly displayed.

"I see you built your blade, huh, come let me take a look," Anakin says with excitement.

This is a problem!

I am concerned to let anyone touch it. Firstly, I am quite possessive about it. Secondly, it has corruption effect on others, and I don't want my father to find about it or even fall to the dark at least for now.

"Father I can't allow you to touch it, it is part me, and I feel it in the force connection.

Anakin looks at me seriously then smiles and then finally laughs. "Hahaha, Fine, I can understand—the connection between a Jedi and his blade... Anyway, let me look at it at least."

I show him the design of the blade.

"Hmm..the design seems to be similar to Count Dooku's from what I heard of him. I believe the hilt is perfect for duelling. Austlar, it would be best if you practice more to get used to your new lightsaber also learn a new style to fit it, maybe Makashi Form II, I heard it's the best for such as lightsaber types.

"I'll keep that in mind, father. Who is Count Dooku? You said you know him?"

"I only heard of him, never properly conversed with him so to speak, he used to be part of the Jedi but left for some reason… I do not know, anyway show me the lightsaber, fully activate it!"

Vrummmummmmm FVISH!.

Anakin is surprised for a second.

"It's red? Purple? Son what the heck?!" Anakin is flabbergast.

"Ehh…father...I take Jedi don't have colourful lightsabres?" I say with a mocking voice from Anakin's humorous reaction.

"Indeed, Anakin whats with your reaction it's not as if the lightsabre is sith red… is it Ani?" Padme too joins the conversation from the interest of my lightsabre.

"I am just surprised by the colour of your lightsabre that's all..haha purple-red, exceptional! Reminds me a bit of Master Windu…Eh I don't like him haha. And no Padme love this isn't sith coloured blade, I believe their lightsabers constructed from synthetic crystals."

"Hmm" Padme voices.

"Austlar! Just make sure to stay away from the other Jedi. Not all of them are used to fighting the Darkside users, and they may harass you or even initiate attacks. Try to keep your head down in the future, understand?!" Anakin further says with a strict manner, not with the usually easy-going tone.

"Yes, father!" I obediently reply.

"Okay, okay now! You two stop talking your Jedi nonsense and let's eats." Padme interrupts the serious mood, and we start enjoying our first feast together as a family!
