	Title: Identity Author: Jedi_BMK Timeframe: Post-ROTJ Characters: Luke, Mara Genre: Angst, Drama, Action, AU Keywords: L/M Summary: Needing time to himself after the events of Endor and Bakura, Luke steals away from the Alliance in the middle of the night. Disclaimer: I don’t own Star Wars. George Lucas does. This is his galaxy far, far away. I’m just playing around with my own little warped idea of what that galaxy could be like. I’m not making any money off of this. Please don’t sue me. I have no money (but you can have my debt if you’d like). Author’s Note: As far as Luke goes, assume everything through The Truce at Bakura happened and for Mara, everything through Mara Jade: By the Emperor’s Hand. It should fit in nicely with those and, if not, write it off to the fact it’s an AU. Prologue: A Lonely Path Luke Skywalker sat on the forest moon of Endor looking at the stars of the night sky as the nearby campfire started to die away. He found his eyes constantly moving to focus on the same spot in the night sky. The spot where the second Death Star had once orbited Endor. The place where Luke’s life changed in an instant. Luke had finally regained the father he had been seeking since childhood, only to have him ripped away. He was left alone in the galaxy. Luke was not entirely alone, of course. He had his sister and Han as well as his other friends in the Alliance, but none of them would or could understand. He was the sole remaining Jedi Knight. The burden of teaching the ways of the Force and keeping the galaxy safe from any who would abuse that power was on his shoulders. Someday, perhaps, Luke would not be alone in this task, but that day was far off. It would likely be years, if not longer, before the war was settled enough for him to take on his new role as teacher. Luke still had much to learn himself about the Force, his place in the galaxy and life in general. Ever since Luke had left Tatooine, he had been defined by the war. At first, he was the green pilot who hit a one in a million shot to destroy the Death Star. Later, he proved himself as a pilot and was known as the hopeful Jedi, ace X-Wing pilot and commander of Rogue Squadron. And up until recently, Luke was the Jedi charged with facing the Emperor and Vader and ending the Dark Side’s reign once and for all. But Luke wasn’t the one who had completed that task. At least not directly. It was his father that had destroyed the Emperor. Anakin Skywalker had broken the bonds of the Dark Side to answer his son’s plea and save Luke’s life. For a few brief moments, father and son were reunited and there were two Jedi to defend the galaxy once more. Sadly, that time could not last and Anakin Skywalker became one with the Force, leaving Luke fatherless once more. Luke had no one to look to for guidance beyond his own memories. Every role model in his life had left him, leaving Luke to find his own path. Luke just wished he knew what that path was. He knew the task that lay before him, but Luke felt as if something was missing in his life. As a child, he had dreamed of adventure in the stars, but now that those dreams had become a reality, Luke realized he wanted something else. Something bigger, yet simpler. Luke Skywalker would always be a Jedi and the Force would always guide him, but he did not want to become known as the all-powerful Jedi Master. In some ways, he still wanted to be the simple farmer from Tatooine. Someone who could live a simple life away from prying eyes and settle down, perhaps even raise a family. Luke snorted at his thoughts. His life would never be simple and settling down wasn’t in his blood. The Force would always call him to fulfill his place as the last of the Jedi Knights. Luke couldn’t turn his back on his calling, but perhaps he could have something more in his life. A family wasn’t out of the question. In fact, he dreamed of having a child someday once the war was over. First, however, Luke would need to find someone willing to share his hectic lifestyle. He would have to find a woman to love that could love him back. Someone who could understand him and keep up with the life of a Jedi. That kind of woman didn’t just come out of nowhere. His campfire had died down to burning embers when Luke finally turned his gaze away from the night sky. He hadn’t realized he had been out here in the middle of the forest thinking for so long. Luke glanced at the chronometer on his wrist. It was 0300. He had been out here for close to three hours and still felt unsettled. Luke doused the glowing embers that remained of his fire with some nearby dirt and began hiking through the forest towards the camp to attempt sleep he was sure wouldn’t come. Reaching the camp, Luke stopped at the Millennium Falcon. He could feel his sister’s peaceful presence on board, likely asleep with Han. She had known that something had been bothering Luke the last few days and had told him to come to her at anytime when he was ready to talk. Luke considered taking her up on that offer then and there, but thought the better of it. He didn’t begrudge Leia’s happiness, but he couldn’t help but feel jealous that she had someone to help her through these times in a way he didn’t. Luke stood watching the dormant ship for a few minutes before hearing a beep from behind him. He slowly turned around at the familiar sound to find R2-D2 rolling up to him, concerned about his master’s extended absence. Having Luke’s attention, R2 whistled an inquiry. “I’m fine. I just lost track of time. Too lost in my thoughts I guess.” Luke glanced once more in the direction of the parked Millennium Falcon. Soon, they would be leaving Endor to continue fighting. The Empire would only lick its wounds so long before attempting a new strike and the Alliance had already spent a good deal of time dealing with the incident that had sprung up at Bakura. When the fighting began anew, Luke would once again be caught up in the hectic lifestyle of a starfighter pilot. Right now, that was not what he needed. Luke had to follow his own path for a while. What he needed was time alone. Luke turned back to his faithful droid. “R2. Fire up my X-Wing.” The droid beeped in surprise at his master’s request. Luke stood silent for a moment, considering his decision. Was this really what he wanted to do? Luke closed his eyes and reached for the guidance of the one thing he knew wouldn’t fail him. He could feel the Force calling him to follow his heart. Luke’s eyes popped open and he patted R2’s dome as he made his way to his bunk to gather his things. “I’m sure. And try to keep the clearance quiet. I don’t want anyone to know I’m gone until morning.” Luke guided his X-Wing out of the atmosphere of Endor, pushing himself into the inky black of space. He never felt freer than when he was flying, but it had lost some of its thrill as of late. Luke had allowed himself to get so caught up in his responsibilities that he no longer had the motivation to take pleasure in the simple things. This was why he needed time alone. He needed a break from the pressures of the war. The Alliance could go on without Luke Skywalker for a while. It had done so before. Looking down at his scopes, Luke found that he was out of Endor’s gravity well. However, he had no destination. He had packed up his few belongings and written a hasty note to quench Leia’s worries as best he could. The only thing Luke knew was that he needed to get away. Where did not matter. He pulled up a star chart on the ship’s computer. Perhaps, he could return to Tatooine for a while. Luke shook his head. Going to a place so tied into his past would only hamper his ability to look forward. Tatooine was out. Luke looked at the map in front of him. For what it mattered, he could pick any habitable planet. However, Luke kept finding himself drawn to an unfamiliar point on the star chart. He tapped on the system to see if he could divine its importance. He watched the information scroll down the screen. Naboo, a system on the edge of the Mid Rim with a temperate climate. While under the nominal control of the Empire, its presence there was minimal. Luke looked at the holographic image of the blue and green planet as it rotated before him. It was almost as if the Force was calling him there. Without another thought, Luke entered the coordinates for Naboo into the navigation computer. After a few moments, his X-Wing disappeared into hyperspace with a flicker of pseudomotion.

Jedi_BMK Registered: Sep '04	Date Posted: 1/18/05 7:05am Subject: RE: Identity Post-ROTJ AU L/M: Ch. 1 Who Are You? 1/18
	Chapter 1: Who Are You? Luke watched the sun rise over the lake from the window in his small kitchen. After arriving on Naboo a month prior, Luke had been immediately drawn to the lake country. Registering under an assumed name he had secured a small apartment for himself in one of the lakeside villas. It was more than he needed and more than he was used to in his service in the Alliance, but something about the villa had seemed comforting. Luke had decided to treat himself with the credits from his father’s old account. A few days after his father’s death, Luke had received notice from Vader’s lawyer. Luke had been named the sole heir to his estate and had been given control of his father’s properties and bank accounts. He hadn’t decided what to do with his inheritance, but Luke didn’t plan on keeping it. Luke knew where the credits had come from, but giving himself a small allowance from the spoils and not having to stretch the Alliance’s resources for his personal missions seemed only fair. Hearing a news report come in over the holonet receiver, Luke turned his attention to the holographic image. Imperial control on Naboo was quickly slipping and Luke was able to get uncensored reports of the war. The newly declared New Republic fleet was pushing its influence toward the core, liberating Outer and Mid Rim planets on its path toward the capital. Luke couldn’t help but notice the reporters had begun to refer to the capital once more as Coruscant rather than Imperial City as the Emperor had rechristened the planet. Soon, the capital would be liberated and the war would be firmly on the New Republic’s side. Watching Leia being interviewed about the New Republic’s latest victory, Luke couldn’t help but feel guilty. He could see the worry in his sister’s eyes in spite of the cool front she was putting up. Luke knew he was the source of that worry. He should have contacted her once he was settled in, but Luke knew that if he called, Leia would have convinced him to return right away. It was better to remain hidden for now. Luke could feel in the Force that he wasn’t done here. He hadn’t found what he had come here for just yet. Luke looked down at the remains of his breakfast. Seeing only crumbs, he knew his meal was over. Leaving his plate to clean later, Luke picked up his mug of hot chocolate and went outside. He took a deep breath of the cool morning air and watched the morning sun peek through the light clouds hovering over the lake. He walked along the edge of the villa, skirting his way along the lakeshore in the process and kept his gaze on the foggy opposite shore. He soon made his way to his favorite balcony as the fog lifted. Something about the canopied stone terrace soothed him. It was more than the vine covered trusses and potted flowers. The vista of the lake was breathtaking, but the same could be said for many of the other balconies at the retreat. There was more to this location. Luke could feel it in the Force. A sense of happiness and love permeated this place. One that he felt was important to him. Perhaps, if he solved this mystery, Luke would be able to regain the balance he had lost, but he didn’t entirely believe that. The sensations at the balcony were only a piece of the puzzle. Luke had no idea what this puzzle would look like when completed, nor if he would ever see the finished picture, but perhaps it was the process that mattered. Setting down his mug of hot chocolate, Luke leaned down to smell one of the red flowers in the pots lining the terrace. He had to be careful around this particular plant since thorns covered its stem, but if he could avoid the needles, Luke was rewarded with the sweet, calming scent of the bloom. Perhaps when he had a place of his own, Luke would have a garden and grow these plants himself. Luke chuckled for a moment about the thought of being a farmer in a former life but knowing nothing of caring for plants. However, it was never too late to learn. After inhaling the sweet aroma of the plant, Luke leaned on the balcony’s railing with his back to the lake. He picked up his mug and drank the last of his hot chocolate in one gulp. Luke let out a satisfied sigh as he swallowed the sweet, warm beverage. Hot chocolate was much better than the bitter caf he had been introduced to in the mess halls. Luke closed his eyes to immerse himself in the Force. He had made it a point to come out to this balcony and draw the calm and peace of the place to himself every morning to center his thoughts. Once more, Luke found himself being swept away by the lines of the Force into a vision. This wasn’t the first time he had seen the hazy visage of a man and woman in love. Luke had long ago begun to suspect that these two were the cause of the strong Force impression at this terrace. He just wished he could see enough of them to know who they were. This time, Luke found himself looking out over the lake at midmorning, the shadows of the canopy obscuring his view of the individuals in front of him. Unlike his previous flashes, Luke could make out the image of three people. The young man’s face could only be seen in profile, but Luke could make out the features of the young woman across from him. She wore a white dress and a veil covered much of her dark hair. Her soft face came into view for a moment when she reached her hand out to take that of the young man across from her. At this moment, Luke realized that the third individual was a holy man. This was a wedding ceremony. It would certainly explain the sensations of love and happiness in the place. But Luke couldn’t help but wonder why he would feel these emotions so strongly in this place in particular. Before Luke could delve any further into his vision, it suddenly faded from his sight and he found himself back on the balcony. His muscles quickly tensed, expecting danger, but a quick search of his surroundings found no one. Still hesitant, Luke decided to dig deeper and stretched out his senses into the Force, looking for the cause of his break in concentration. Most of the residents of the retreat were either still in bed or just beginning their day so Luke quickly wrote them off when he felt no ill will from any of them. He stretched his feelings out further over the lake and slowly a weak sense of distress came to him over the Force. Luke snapped his eyes open and turned in the direction of the distress. He could see something bobbing in the water and knew that this was the cause of his alarm. Luke whipped his head around and saw that the rental boat for the villa’s patrons was tied up at the dock. He quickly ran down to the dock and untied the small craft. Firing up the boat’s small engine, he guided the small ship out towards the bobbing shape. As he approached the source of his worry, Luke quickly realized that he was looking at a human being. Luke started to panic at his realization. How long had this person been floating in there? Why hadn’t he felt it earlier? He knew that the individual wasn’t dead because of the vague feeling of distress he was still getting from them in the Force, but it was possible they were dying. Luke set his jaw. All he could do now was hope that he wasn’t too late to help them. Slowing the boat down to avoid pushing away the floating victim in its wake, Luke could make out that the individual was a woman. Stopping the ship just to the woman’s side, Luke reached into the water and pulled her out. Her skin was pale and her lips were blue and Luke could feel her slipping away through the Force. He immediately started doing the emergency resuscitation he had learned to get her breathing again and give the woman a chance to live. Luke was truly scared that he had been too late just before he felt a spark in the Force and the woman coughed as her breathing returned. Luke fired the boat’s engine back up and pointed the craft toward shore, knowing that the woman would survive. He tried to get a response from her, but she had slipped into unconsciousness. Luke could feel that the woman wouldn’t die if she got the medical attention she needed. In fact, Luke was pretty sure he could do what needed to be done with his little first aid background and he got the feeling the woman wouldn’t be safe in a medical center. For some reason, Luke couldn’t shake the idea that she was hiding from someone or something. He looked over the woman, trying to determine why she would have been floating in the middle of the lake, but her dark, form fitting clothing and covered head told him little. He couldn’t help but wonder about the empty wrist holsters in her clothing, but wouldn’t be able to get any information until she regained consciousness. Hoping to get her out of at least some of her wet clothing until he could get her dry indoors, Luke removed the outer jacket of the woman’s clothing. Next, he pulled off the hat that had been hiding her hair, spilling a red-gold mane around her head. Luke was mesmerized at the sight of the woman before him. “Who are you?” Coming Soon: Ch. 2 Tending to the Wounded -----signature----- Destiny of the Skywalkers II: Splintered Paths OT AU (L/M H/L A/P) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28042042/

Is our dear Luke going to figure out that this is (or used to be) his mother's family's lake house? Is he going to find anything out about Padmé?

	Chapter 2: Tending to the Wounded Luke sat in the spare bedroom of his apartment, looking over the still unconscious woman he had pulled out of the lake. He brushed a lock of hair away from her face for what fifth time in the last hour. After bringing her into his apartment during the early morning hours, he had done his best to get the woman out of her wet clothes while still preserving some level of modesty. Getting nowhere, he had instead opted to cut off the sections of fabric necessary to give her the care she needed. When she regained consciousness, he could provide her with new garments. It had taken Luke hours to treat the various ailments he had found on the woman. In addition to the lack of oxygen due to her near drowning, he had found burns on her side. Blaster burns. Also, the woman was cold to the touch, her body having obviously shut down to the point where she was no longer maintaining a natural temperature. Luke had covered the woman with a thick blanket to assist her in warming up, exposing only the areas he needed to work on. He had used up numerous bacta patches in treating the blaster burns, but Luke didn’t care. He could always buy more. Luke couldn’t help but wonder about the blaster burns hiding under the bacta patches at her side as well as the numerous scars he had found elsewhere. Someone had tried to kill this woman and Luke couldn’t help but wonder if that person would be back. In fact, Luke didn’t know why someone would have wanted her dead in the first place. She could be anyone. However, nothing was going to stop Luke from tending to this woman. He knew in the Force that this was the right thing to do. His questions could wait until she was healed. Luke had even used his limited knowledge of Force healing to help speed along the woman’s healing. When he touched her presence in the Force, Luke had found that the woman’s presence was brighter than the average person’s would be. He quickly realized that he had found a Force sensitive woman. Perhaps, this was why the Force had drawn him here. Luke couldn’t help but feel strangely drawn to the woman. By the time he was finished with his attempts to advance the woman’s healing, Luke was sure that she was at least part of the reason he had been drawn to Naboo. Their paths were meant to cross. Feeling a stirring from the woman, Luke let out a sigh of relief. She was finally coming around, signaling that the worst was beyond them. He hadn’t made a fatal decision by not taking her to a medical center. After finding the blaster burns, he had considered taking her for proper medical attention despite the risks, but Luke had thought better of it after receiving a warning from the Force. It wasn’t safe to draw attention to either of them for the time being. Realizing he had not left the woman’s side for hours and was starting to feel the effects of his long day, Luke made his way out of the room for a moment to use the fresher and get himself a drink. When he returned to the room minutes later, Luke was surprised to find the room’s bed empty. He quickly discovered where the woman had disappeared to when he felt an arm tighten around his neck. Luke knew that the woman must be disconcerted and afraid to find herself in a strange room after whatever she had been through. He also knew that with a quick use of the Force, he would be able to reverse their roles. But it would be better to put the confused woman at ease rather that antagonize her in an obviously unbalanced state. “I’m not trying to hurt you. If I was, I could have just left you for dead when I found you.” Luke felt the arm wrapped around his neck loosen slightly, but not enough to allow his to slip loose without an aggressive action. Through the Force, the woman’s emotions were bombarding him. He could feel confusion, panic and frustration coming off her in equal amounts. He heard the woman hiss into his ear. “How do I know that?” “I found you floating in the lake outside, unconscious. I brought you back to my apartment and have been tending to your wounds ever since. The bacta patches on your sides should be evidence enough of that fact.” Luke felt the woman’s arm loosen a little more around his neck as she looked down to check the veracity of his last statement. He could feel that she was still wary, but starting to accept that he was telling the truth. “I only want to help you.” Luke let out a sigh of relief when he felt the woman’s arm unwrap from around his neck. He could still feel confusion and panic rolling off of her through the Force, but they were muted now. He turned around to face the woman to find her making her way back to the bed on the other side of the room. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, the woman looked up at Luke nervously. Hoping to help her understand that he was not out to hurt her, Luke walked slowly, but deliberately, toward her, making an effort to avoid any action which could possibly be interpreted as hostile. He sat down on the bed a respectful distance away from the woman and watched her shaky breathing for a moment. Whatever had happened to this woman, it had put her in a place where she had trouble trusting anyone. Luke could only hope that he could get through to her and help her get through whatever problems she had. When the woman finally looked over to Luke, she was biting her lip and gave Luke the impression that she wanted to say something, but was hesitant to do so. Luke decided it would be best if he broke the ice. “I’m Luke Skywalker. I want to help you if you’ll let me.” The woman looked back and forth between Luke and the floor. Luke could feel in the Force that she was still hesitating, but could feel her motivation to remain silent slipping. Perhaps it would be best to start simple. If he got to know the woman, he would be able to do a better job of helping her. When her gaze turned to him once more, Luke finally asked his first question. “What’s your name?” The woman snapped her gaze back to the floor as she rocked back and forth in her seat in the bed. Luke was confused at how such a simple question could elicit such a strong response. He watched the woman bite her lip and watch him for a long moment. Finally, she opened her mouth to speak in barely a whisper. “I don’t remember.” Coming Soon: Ch. 3 Amnesia You did realize that there had to be a twist, didn't you? -----signature----- Destiny of the Skywalkers II: Splintered Paths OT AU (L/M H/L A/P) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28042042/
