DISCLAIMER
Okay, I don`t own Star Wars and probably never will, but I`m pretty sure I could have done a better job with it than Shelly Shapiro did...

Right, Its my first fic on these boards so be kind and read it...please? maybe? Constructive critiscism is appreciated, general critiscism will be plain ignored. Hope you all enjoy it!

Shadow Falling


Darkness shrouded her vision. Mists and vapours poured upwards at her from the floor as she groped about blindly in the nothingness that seemed to exist.
Green eyes scanned the horizon searching for something, anything, to take her away from the emptiness she was entrapped in.

A dark whispering laughter floated out of the darkness, assailing her ears with its sounds…

“Who`s there!? Show yourself!” she shouted. The laughter continued as her only reply “Stop It!” she screamed, covering her ears to block out the sound, but to no avail.

As abruptly as the laughter had began, it stopped. The whole world seemed to swirl before her as a deep raspy breathing emanated from out of the darkness. The blackness before her coalesced into a single being…
“Only I exist now” the darkness said and stepped forward, revealing itself in the most feared form the galaxy had known, the Dark knight.
Terror threatened to overcome her but she mustered her strength and drew her lightsaber to her…”There is no death there is only the force…a Jedi knows no fear…there is no death…” she breathed inwardly to herself as the Sith swung his blood red lightsaber in a wide arc, attempting to catch her off guard. Her own blue blade connected with his as she deflected the move with a flick of her wrist. The air hummed with the promise of death, then the Dark knight swung downwards with as much force as he could muster... and missed completely. “Now is my chance!” she thought, sidestepping the blow and bringing her blade upwards, decapitated the nightmarish entity.

The Sith fell backwards and the helmet fell open as she stepped towards it revealing a very familiar face to her…

ANAKIN! Tahiri screamed as she sat bolt upright in bed, soaked with sweat. Taking a glance at the chrono timepiece she swore under her breath and got out of bed to use the fresher, rubbing the three scars on her forehead. ”It was only a nightmare.A silly dream" Tahiri thought to herself as she walked. “But Anakin told me before...Jedi don`t dream...”


Meanwhile, on the recently reclaimed galactic capitol of Coruscant...

“So, when does Tahiri get in?” asked Mara Jade Skywalker, glancing at her husband as he fed their son Ben.
“Soon. The ship from Sekot should be arriving any day now. The remembrance ceremony is in a week you know…” Luke replied before making a face as Ben missed the spoon altogether, causing his food to land square in his fathers lap “At times like this, Mara…he`s YOUR son”. Mara smiled as her son waved his chubby hands in the air in front of his fathers face. “Maybe Jaina will babysit for us when she gets in?” mused Luke. “I don`t think so dear, she will far more likely want to spend time with Jag and her brother than babysit this little monster” Mara said with a smile on her face as Luke handed Ben over. In his mothers arms, Ben sat perfectly still and ate his food without fussing…”You know, I think sometimes, the force is trying to punish me” Luke sighed before getting up to clean himself off.

"I wonder if any progress has been made in finding the widowmaker?, I`m sure Tahiri would have contacted us before now if there was any news." Luke mused as he wiped the remnants of Bens missed food off his shirt with a cloth. "I wonder how the Vong are settling in on Sekot." Luke smiled wryly at his wifes remark "If Tahiri or Jacen were here they`d have corrected you already, dear."

Mara smiled, shaking her head and making a face at her son who had began weaving his hands into his mothers hair to get her attention. "I hope this goes well, it won`t be easy for a lot of us. The war took everything from someone, most of all from Han and Leia, this remembrance day is going to open a few old wounds, Skywalker and it may rub salt into ones that have only begun to heal". Luke nodded at his wifes sagely statement before joining her and Ben at the table.


Far away from Coruscant, near the Tingel arm of the galaxy on board a familiar looking starship...

"What is thy bidding, my master" a reedy, yet unmistakeably female voice uttered, whilst kneeling in front of an orb seated on a multi-layered pedestal. Darkness itself seemed to swirl within its depths and soon a dark, hooded visage cam into being. A feeling of utter Malice and fear entered the room as the image in the orb took on a more defined form. The figure kneeling made no poise to ask her master yet again in fear of incurring his wrath. The figure in the orb gazed at its disciple before speaking directly into her mind " GO TO CORUSCANT. THE TIME HAS COME AT LAST. THE FOOLISH JEDI WILL FINALLY KNOW THE TRUE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE AND OF THOSE WHO WIELD IT. KILL ALL PRESENT AT THE CEREMONY. TAKE THE STRONGEST CHILDREN ALIVE. THEY WILL BE USEFUL TO US IN THE FUTURE...I HAVE FORSEEN IT. TAKE MY NEWEST DISCIPLE WITH YOU. WE NEED TO TEST HIS SKILLS."

The kneeling apprentice showed no emotion on her face of the orders she had been given, her masters will was absolute. "BE SURE TO DESTROY YOUR COUNTERPART MY APPRENTICE, SHE KNOWS YOU FAR TOO WELL...RIINA KWAAD" Riina stood at her masters behest, sensing his will that she leave as soon as possible. The living cloak that she wore flowed around her as she tensed, pulling her weapons to her with the force. A strangely shaped length of Yorik coral flew to her as well as a coiled amphistaff. her cloak opened itself in various places to allow the weapons protection and seclusion inside itself.

The orb had returned to its pure black state when Riina was done preparing herself. A deep laboured breathing emanated from the shadows of the room. Riina didn`t look up, she already knew who it was as he revealed himself. "What news from beyond the galaxy? what does our master command?" Riina looked up for the first time at the black deaths head mask. "We have work to do" she replied, an evil smirk twisting her chevroned lips, the cuts giving her smile that of a demon."We shall reveal ourselves to the Jeedai fools once more. They shall once again tremble at the true mightof the Sith." Riina swerved on her heel and turned, exiting the room as the form of the dark knight followed her towards the hangar...



And thats my first post! comments? suggestions? constructive critscism? sorry if its a litle slow by the way, its just introducing the mood. I promise the next post will be much more explosive...in more ways than one.

really great, Morgoth shock Liked Tahiri's vision, echoing Luke's experience on Degobah. The scene with Luke, Mara and Ben was cute as well. Tahiri's alter ego is a sith?! shock uh oh!!!! and she's coming to coruscant to kill th jedi and capture the children cry Wonder who her master is and who she's with..... the black orb reminds me of the seeing stones from LOTR.

Great stuff, look forward to more happy

Very good so far. happy The beginning especially was nicely done. Great descriptions, and the part with the laughter in the dark was very chilling.

Looking forward to more. Keep it up! grin

Thanx YodaKenobi! I`m glad you liked the post! I`m also glad you got the palantir reference, it was kind of what I was going for the next post will be here soon!

GeithJiseo, welcome! I hope you enjoy this fic!

now...how to get even more readers...

heres the next post anyway guys!, enjoy!


Meanwhile, on Zonama Sekot…

Tahiri`s blue blade hummed as she swung it in rapid motions, deflecting the shots that came from the practice remote as she ran through her memorized routine of katas. Tahiri turned on her heel, her back to the remote, as it fired, she force vaulted upwards and over the remote, slicing it in two as her feet touched the ground.

“That’s the third remote you`ve diced this week. Is something wrong?” asked the lithe blond scientist, Danni Quee.
“Nothing that a few good hours of sleep wouldn`t cure.” Tahiri replied, smiling tiredly. “I keep having the same dream…Anakin is always present.” Danni looked down at the ground , trying to hide the smile forming on her face. Tahiri turned beet red as she realised the implication Danni was making…” They aren’t` THOSE kinds of dreams!” Tahiri paused as she switched off her lightsaber and attached it to her belt. “The dreams I have are terrifying. I...end up killing Anakin. Then I wake up screaming.”

Danni looked sympathetically at Tahiri, thinking her words over in her head before speaking. “Perhaps they are remnants of what happened on Myrkr. Perhaps your personality hasn`t fully integrated itself yet and the dreams are the result.” Danni handed Tahiri a small face towel before opening the door to leave. “When we get to Coruscant, you can talk to master Skywalker. I` sure he`ll know what to do. On that point, you should get ready to go. We leave in an hour.” Tahiri nodded as Danni turned to leave “Thank you Danni. I`ll be along to the ship soon.”

“Hey! Watch where your throwing those bags kid!” Han Solo shouted to his eldest son as Jacen threw a large bag to his father, who wasn`t yet ready. “Sorry dad, it`s hard to see in front of you when there`s a giant bag in your face” Jacen replied from atop the rebuilt Millennium Falcon. “Well, use the force then! I`m sure it isn`t going to mind you using it to tell where your going or who your throwing stuff to!” Jacen smiled and shook his head at his father before looking to the small door that lead into the hangar they had landed in.

“Took you long enough to get here kid!” Han shouted at Luke as he entered the hangar bay, resplendent in new Jedi robes. “Did I miss the ceremony already?”

Luke looked at Han tiredly, “Mara made me try on fifteen different robes before she decided on this one! I said I was going to be late to meet you so she let me keep it on instead of getting changed! I`m a dead Jedi Master if I get it dirty.” Han laughed at his friend as Jacen jumped down from on top of the Falcon. Han scowled at his sons antics “Jacen, for the hundredth time, there`s a ramp provided!” Luke laughed as Jacen looked at his father sheepishly.
“Hello Jacen, you`re looking well. I see the Falcon is finally fixed…it looks good.” Han nodded as he took yet another heavy bag. “It handles just like the old one though, Uncle Luke. Were`s Ben?” Luke rolled his eyes in a `thank the force he isn`t here type of way`, “With Mara. They`re waiting back at the house for us.”

“Then we should go there right now” Leia said as she stepped out of the Falcon, walking down the ramp. “I can`t wait to see how much my nephew has grown.” Luke looked up at his sister as she left the ramp. “Hello Leia. Isn`t Jaina with you? I Thought that she was going to meet you guys on Hapes and come in with you.” Leia`s eyes glazed over with sadness “She wanted to spend a little more time at his memorial before coming. Tenel Ka said that Jaina was more than welcome to come along with her so we left her there.” Luke nodded in understanding.
“Everyone should be here by the end of the week. Just in time for the ceremony. Come on, you wanted to see how much Ben has grown.” Han took his wifes hand as she followed her brother out of the hangar. Han called back to Jacen “Get the bags will ya kid?” Jacen stared at the pile of luggage that had been dumped on the hangar floor. Sighing, he reached out to them in the force and lifted them onto a nearby pulling cart. “Do I get payed for this!?” he called as his father walked through the door…

Elsewhere…

In the cold unfeeling reaches of space, something colder and far more devoid of feeling reached out in the dark side of the force…to the moon surrounding a small planet. Under the sway of the power of the force, the core of the moon began to slowly crack. On the surface, a clearly darkside palace had been hued into the rock of a cliff face, unaware of the doom hanging from the stars above.

“Something is moving in the galaxy…I can sense it!” Lumiya, self professed Dark Lord of the Sith proclaimed. “yes my mistress” a meek servant, `liberated` from a slave trader and now subservient to her new master answered. “I must discover what this cloud I sense moving within the force is. I must know its plan and whether or not I can use it to further my own ends.” Lumiya declared before smiling darkly and sitting back down into her throne.

”I AM AFRAID THAT I CANNOT PERMIT THAT, CHILD. YOUR PETTY PLANS WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY OWN!... MY WILL IS ABSOLUTE! I WILL NOT BE DENIED VICTORY AGAIN!” the dark thing spoke to itself. With a thought, the moon held in its power shattered. The chunks of rock that the moon had become were held hovering over the planet they threatened to fall upon. FAREWELL, LUMIYA the darkness spoke directly into her mind. The Sith lady had barely time to think about who might be talking to her in such a manner and how before the remnants of the moon were hurled earthward by the force with such velocity it would have made proton torpedoes look like they were standing still. Lumiya`s palace erupted in fire as the first small chunk, the size of a childs ball crashed through the roof. The Sith lady screamed in fury and the knowledge that she was about to die as another chunk of rock descended directly on top of the cliff her palace had been built under. Rock exploded everywhere, pieces of glass and wood flew miles into the air.

From space, it looked like an extremely expensive fireworks show. Clouds of dust had been thrown up into the atmosphere from the impact and the light from the surface was being reflected on it. In a matter of seconds, all that remained of Lumiya and her small palace was a five mile crater. The rest of the planet didn`t fare so well either as the crust cracked from the impact of its own moon. Seas boiled as lava escaped, tidal waves crashed against shores, turning beaches into lakes and earthquakes wracked the land. The darkness smiled at its own handiwork before returning to its military headquarters aboard the stolen Widowmaker.

Riina Kwaads` head shot up from meditation aboard the small vessel. She smiled wickedly at the dark figure piloting the ship “He has achieved one of his objectives today. We will take care of another before the week is out, wont we Vader? We will not fail our master. The Jeedai shall fall…

I have to say, I like the idea of TK fragmenting a moon and dropping it onto whoever's stuck underneath.

Then again, maybe that's my love of railguns talking...

Anyway, going to be keeping an eye on this.

Excellent post, Morgoth. I really like the way you write Tahiri, and Lumiya's death was unexpected and well-done.

More, please!

Gradually catching up with everyone. happy
This is great, Morgoth. I like enigmatic stories, and the descriptions are very cool. Like Yoda, I like the echoes of the past. I also enjoyed the way you're writing Jacen and Luke. Luke's situation reminds me of a sticker we bought my daughter a couple of years ago: "He wears the pants, but I tell him which ones." LOL I also liked the way you wrote Ben - nice empathy there. Kids are often hard to write realistically.
Hmm - Tahiri and Riina in separate places. Fascinating.

Sweet! More readers!

Welcome again, YodaKenobi, I`ll tell you that one of your assumptions is correct, I`m just not going to tell you which one! grin

jedi_enigma! Welcome! hope your enjoying so far! next post will be up tomorrow now as I`m going to my friends tonight and they don`t have the net! sad

Tahi! I was wondering if you were going to read this! Indeed the sticker you gave does represent the relationship between Luke and Mara that I write. Hopefully, the next post will be longer and will contain an evil cliffhanger at the end! Mwahahaha!!!

Thanx for the reviews! (Goes off on an ego trip!)
