STAR WARS REBORN

Chapter 5 - Childhood 4-6 years

POV- Anakin Skywalker

I am going to meet my son today I heard so much about him from Padme. He seems to be a genius and already able to use the basic force. But then again, I am his father. For some time now I've been secretly watching over him whenever I could, and he is going to be a great man, I can already see some me in him with his brashness and maybe a bit of arrogance. But he is Skywalkers, of course, he is going to be powerful. I still hate it that I must pretend to be some random Jedi not related to him, but Padme insisted so I let it go. All these lies are making irritated. I hope my son will be more like me, a great warrior and not have to deal with those backstabbing filled politicians and their corruption.

As Anakin walked to the main complex of the mansion, he saw Heinrich. Platinum white hair purple eyes, slender build, and 125cm in height, above average for a kid of 4 years old. Anakin saw those inquisitive eyes he still could not believe that his son looked like that even with that baby fat. He already was beautiful rather than just handsome like him. He was worried that Padme may have softened him too much.

-Heinrich my name is Anakin Skywalker youngest knight of the Jedi order

-My mother told me you wanted to meet me.

-Yes, Heinrich, she told me about your force powers may you show me?

Heinrich pulled up his arm a concentrated his hand towards R2D2 next to the Jedi. Then it happened, the droid started floating up in the air slowly but surely.

- Beep-bee-bee-boop-bee-doo-weep

Anakin- Ah haha that's enough Heinrich you are making R2D2 uneasy

He is my son! The Jedi would have freaked out in the temple trying to pretend that my son is just like any other youngling/padawan. Trying to curb his 'greatness'. He remembered 'Anakin do not be so arrogant' 'Anakin be humbler' Yes it was a good decision not to force my son to the order.

Anakin- Very good, very good you have talent. I am going to teach you in the ways of the force you know about the force, right?

-Well, I did read a lot about the Jedi and their general beliefs but nothing specific.

Of course, he did not what I am asking he may be great, but he won't know Jedi secrets.

-Ok, today let me give you a brief summary….

2 years later

POV-Heinrich

For the next 2 years, I learn a great deal about the force. Anakin taught me mostly what they teach you in the temple but with his own changes. The highlight change was not to suppress my emotions fully like the Jedi but enough not to fall to the Darkside. The lessons included various tests to see how much control I had in the force such as moving objects. Reaction times and using the force to improve my physique, which would allow me to jump high distances and be much faster than normal. What my father was extremely enthusiastic was lightsabre combat training. At first, I used low-powered training sabers to practice the deflection of blaster shots fired by training droids. But by seeing my quick progress. Anakin promoted me into spars and Lightsaber combat forms. He started me in basic Form V which is more for aggressive fighting rather than defensive.

Finally, now that I am 6 from two years of the training, I have a good grasp of how the force works. Before my reincarnation or my first 4 years of my new life, I thought the force was like having power which is explained by science. However, that was completely extremely wrong and how wrong I was. You can't use the force like a tool like fl.i.c.k.i.n.g a switch on and off. No, you either are immersed in the force or you are not. Practicing force users can feel the force like chaotic energy split in the dark and the light. Light is calm and sweet even and more stable in a sense. You must work with it like with a child, play with it even so that you can use its power, that's why you don't require emotions as much. On another hand, Darkside is extremely chaotic. It thrives on your emotion's, dark emotions of the psyche. Once you have a taste of it, it is like the strongest drug with imaginable power. It whispers in your psyche to release all your darkest emotions and d.e.s.i.r.es in which you feel good by doing it. Even if you comprehend what you are doing should be wrong you don't care as you don't feel it as wrong.

On one occasion when my father left, I tried to secretly 'use the Darkside' and before even thinking I already felt it! It felt intoxicating I felt more power than I ever did with the light. In cliché terms, it was the difference between heaven and earth. For a more powerful effect I must thank my unique bloodline for that. Though I was not completely immersed in the dark after I just tried to access it, I did not feel enough dark emotions such as hatred to fuel it to its full potential. Therefore, my eyes did not change to the typical Sith yellow and I managed to go back to the light sadly. For now, I think I am a Grey Jedi not fully immersed in either. Can not into the dark for most obvious reasons and the light is much harder even more so for me with my bloodline's affinity for the dark.

POV- Anakin

A lot of things happened during 2 years of my son's training. I tried to replicate as much as I could from what I did when I was inducted in the Jedi order. At first, it was hard to teach usual Jedi ways. They are too rigid I found out to teach to my son who's not from the order. Especially with their no strict emotion/ attachment rules. I had improvised I tried to teach him how not fall to the dark without forcing him to abandon his love for his loved ones. Damn it was hard I mean I myself barely can do it and I am a Jedi. Overall, he was a fast learner faster than I was, especially with his force control it seemed like the force just flows from him. However, one thing that he was interested in that I was not was the philosophy. While I hated those lesson back with Obi-wan, Heinrich loved it. I even had to ask questions about some parts from Obi-wan and pretend like it was from me to help Heinrich! Seriously the kid reads nearly as much as he fights, that's must be coming from Padme's gene pool. Finally, there was one question that frightened me.

Heinrich- Jedi Knight sir can I ask a question

Anakin- Heinrich how long did I tell to call me Anakin?

He said gently with respect and kindness. He really wanted Heinrich to know that he is his father and not some Jedi Knight.

Heinrich- Sorry all that formal training you know muscle memory and all.

Anakin-hm

Heinrich- Anyway I had to ask a question that I pondered for some time now, you see it is a question that you never addressed. Can you help me?

Anakin- Of course, that is why I am here for ask away.

Heinrich- Well I was thinking about how much I love my mother and then I discovered something I can't answer. So, I ask you Anakin would you fall to the Darkside to save your family like your father/mother?

Heinrich said innocently with a smile:)

This question! I am not ready to answer this, no Jedi can. Anakin thought. I don't even know what master Yoda would say. Or do I? After all, Order teaches us the nonattachment rule. I should not even be inducted at my age. I was old enough to know my mother and Padme. Anakin pandered.

Anakin- You see Heinrich Jedi do not attach themselves to anybody specific unlike what I taught you for your unique position. So, I would not have been in such a position in the first place. I need more time to meditate your deep question. I'll answer it eventually. But remember never be seduced by the Darkside all ways be in the light!

Anakin answered who near stuttered. He just realized the importance of his love and how much it changed him. He never before realized how much the love for his Padme and his son will affect him. He had a lot of thinking to do now.

Anakin- Today training is finished early Heinrich I need to do something I just remembered. You know Jedi business.
