Great couple of posts, JF. Nice to see that they're on their way towards getting off Dathomir, but I fear for Anakin. We don't need him messing around inside Baruka's head. And the last thing we need is for Gethzerion to sense Ani's presence.
Force be with you,

Luke followed Teneniel out of the hall and walked outside, he noted it was still dark out, and that the sun had not yet started to rise yet. Padme walked up beside Anakin as a boy shouted out to the ranchors bathing in the pond, as one they all rose and rushed forward with a grunts, the boys had begun to saddle them. Padme turned her attention to Anakin and smiled taking his hands into hers. "Be careful Ani."
"I will Angel, don't worry, we'll all be back as soon as possible." Anakin said turning his attention down to her. He leaned down and captured her lips with his in a deep kiss. He slowly broke away slightly breathless. "I'll be back by tomorrow morning." He told her in a slight husky voice.
"I know." Padme replied with worry clouding her features. "Just becareful, I have a bad feeling." She said with a slight frown.
"Everything will work out in the end." Anakin promised placing his arms around her. "You'll see."
Han walked upto the ranchor Leia had climbed onto ride. Luke placed an arm on Hans shoulder preventing him from climbing up. "I want to ride with Leia, we have a lot to get caught up on."
Leia smirked as she caught site of Anakin and Dev setting the droids up on a large male. She could tell by the nervous smile on Luke's face that wasn't really the case, and knew what really was going on. "Why don't you ride with Teneniel, she seems to like you." Leia said with a knowing smile.
Lukes face turned beat red with embarrassment turning his attention to Teneniel who was climbing up on a ranchor. Han placed his hands onto Lukes shoulders with a grin, "why don't you go upto her and ask Teneniel if she wants to ride on your ranchor."
Leia noted that Han has him almost talked into it, and she could feel through the force that Luke was hesitant.
"I don't know." Luke answered as Isolder sneaked around the ranchor and climbed up and sat behind Leia.
"Too bad General Solo, you'll have to ride with your co-pilot." Isolder said as he watched Luke walk upto Teneniels Ranchor and climbed up and sat behind her. Han sighed as he walked upto the Ranchor Chewie was sitting on and climbed up and manuvered himself to be in the front. Anakin climbed up and sat behind Dev. With Teneniels Ranchor in the lead they were off.
----------------
Anakin shifted slightly in the saddle as Dev reshifted to keep his balance. He watched as a boulder came close to knocking Han in the head, Han looked up and cursed at Isolder who grinned and shrugged with a reply that Anakin could not quite hear. Anakin sighed as Dev gave a small chuckle, "they're still fighting over Leia, aren't they?"
"Unfortunately." Anakin replied ducking a tree branch that was in his way. "Isolder will lose once Leia learns the truth and why he wanted her to begin with."
Dev shook his head with a frown. "I'm sure she'll come around and realize shes better of with Han, he loves her not because of her political skills either. He puts up with politics for her sake." Dev summarized. "Besides I don't feel comfortable when it comes to his mother, does she know you used to be Vader?" Dev questioned turning his attention to Anakin.
"Nope, not a clue." Anakin replied with a slight grin.
"And besides, Isolders really jumpy around you." Dev pointed out the obvious.
"I know, he fears me because of who I used to be and not what I am now." Anakin replied with a deep sigh. "Han came around for Leia's sake, thats why I'm hoping she chooses Han over Isolder."
Dev was silent mauling over the conversation when a thought suddenly struck him. "Anakin?"
"Yes Dev?"
"Why is Zinsj so intended to get Han?" Dev questioned with curiosity. "What did he do?"
Anakin smiled inwardly as he remembered the call he received half way through the night, Zinsj was raving over what Han had said to him after Han took out one of his star destroyers. "His secret." Anakin said with a chuckle.
Dev twisted his head around to gauge Anakins expressions and noticed a smirk tugging at his lips. "You know, don't you?" Dev questioned with intrigue.
"I do, I receieved a call halfway through the night and he repeated to me what Han said to him. The rebellion could've sold tickets to it. He was hoping to lure me in for a set trap by saying he wanted to discuss Hans temperment, gotta give the little pudgy man credit but he doesn't think straight half the time."
Dev chuckled thinking of the ill thought out plan. "Still wanting your head huh?"
"Yeah he does, hes not getting it though, and he used Kay a year ago trying to drag me in." Anakin said with disdain in his voice.
Dev was silent as he reflected on what happened. "He'll pay for his arrogance."
"I know he will, just give it time." Anakin replied as they approached a swamp, as one all five ranchors dived in and started swimming about.
Isolder nodged his ranchor towards Hans and slapped his reins in the water getting Han wet. Han let out a curse glaring at his rival.
"You called me slime." Isolder said angrily.
"You called me an idiot." Han answered back slapping his reins in the water getting Isolder wet.
Leia looked over at Teneniel listening to the woman softly chant words, a huge ball rose from the water and dropped down on Isolder and Hans head, she looked at her father noting he was trying to control his laughter, she let laughter take over her. "You'll have to teach me that trick." Leia said with a grin as Isolder and Han both rose into the air as one. She looked over at Dev and Anakin who were grinning from ear to ear, they dropped both men into the swamp as Anakin nodged his Rachor to beside Leia's he swam over and climbed up as Dev got Han. Chewie picked up a grumbling Isolder and chuckled at the scene.
"Dad why did you do that for?" Leia questioned in curiosity as Anakin shook water from his hair.
"I needed to talk with you." Anakin replied noting Han was not impressed either. "And they needed to cool off."
Leia shook her head disbelievingly. "What did you need to talk about?" She questioned feeling stomach twist.
"Your mother told me that Ta Chumme had plans to kill her and hope that I would marry Ta Chumme." Anakin replied with a sigh. "Though to be honest, if Padme did die I would never marry another person."
"Oh." Leia replied feeling a bit stunned. "What else did you learn?" She questioned in curiosity.
"That Isolder is interested in your political skills and also because your mother is from the royal house on Naboo." Anakin answered honestly, "that and hes afraid of me."
Leia was silent as they neared the caves, she sighed as the caves were within site. "Dad, thanks for telling me. I have a lot to think about."
"Your welcome, and I'll back you in any decision you make." Anakin said giving Leia a hug from behind.
"Thank you." Leia said as the ranchors came to a stop, she watched as her father dismounted and she climbed down after him. She gave her father a hug as Isolder stormed over to Anakin with a growl. Anakin turned his attention to the prince holding back a smirk.
"If you wanted to ride with Leia, you could've just asked nicely." He scowled at Anakin.
"And if I did, would you have said yes?" Anakin questioned with a knowing gaze that unnerved Isolder.
Isolder stopped and searched his feelings, and realized with a pang he wouldn't have let Leia near her father. Something about Anakin scared him. "No."
"Thats what I thought." Anakin answered looking at a stunned Leia, "think about what I told you."
Leia nodded numbly as she walked to Luke's side and followed him and Teneniel in. "Hello? Baruka we need help." Teneniel shouted into the cave. No answer so they ventured futher in, there were some pots and pans caste aside and were dirty, she also noted that no one had been in here for a few days at least. "She must be out hunting. We'll wait for her here."
Anakin nodded as he walked toward the wood pile and started building a fire. He noted that Leia and Isolder were no where in sight, he could feel both of them near just outside the cave. He shouldn't have said anything to Leia, because it felt like he was telling her who to marry. But also, she had a right to know before she made any final decisions.
---------------------
"I have a question for you Isolder." Leia said turned her attention to him, anger clouding her mind.
"Yes Princess?" Isolder questioned.
"Why are you afraid of my father?" She questioned with a knowing gaze.
"That because he's Vader and hurt you all those years ago." Isolder replied angrily.
"Really?" Leia questioned anger building inside her, she quickly dispelled her anger out to the force. Feeling slightly calmer she walked to the edge, then turned around with a growl. "If this is going to work Isolder, you'll have to accept my father for who he is now instead of how he used to be while enraptured by the dark side."

Leia is right if Isolder wants to be in her life he has to accpet her Father for who he is now not in the past. Of course I always disliked Isolder for trying to get Leia from Han.

Isolder looked at Leia feeling completely stunned. She was right to a certain point, but could he really accept Anakin for what he really was now? His mind went back to listening to Anakin explaining certain aspects of the force. He had trouble picturing this man as Vader from four years ago. With a sigh Isolder realized that once Leia and him were married that Anakin would be no where near Leia for long periods of time. But he knew deep down that she would want to visit him either way. "I'll try." Isolder said mentally crossing his fingers behind his back.
"Do or do not there is no try." Leia mentally added in as her automatic response from what Anakin and Luke had drilled into her.
"What?" Isolder asked with disbelief.
"Its an old Jedi saying, either you do or you don't. Theres no inbetween. Succeed or you fail." Leia explained icily.
"I have a question for you Isolder." He nodded for her to go ahead. "If we hadn't had this talk, what would've happened if I wanted my family to visit me, what would've happened?"
"I would've had Anakin restrained and letting the rest come." Isolder replied truthfully.
Leia raised an eyebrow and before she knew it, she was slapping the prince hard on the cheek. She turned on her heal and stormed away.
Isolder immediately regretted his answer as he rubbed his cheek. He knew deep down that what ever happened between Leia and Anakin they had a strong relationship now.
------------------
Anakin looked up as Leia with tears streaming down her face walked over to Han and wrapped her arms around Han.
Han looking confused quickly placed his arms around Leia letting her cry on her shoulder. "Whats wrong sweetheart?"
"Isolder told me he wouldn't let my father come visit." Leia replied her voice sounding muffled in Hans shirt. "Then I slapped him."
It took all of Han's will power not to laugh. He never had Leia hit him once, and for her to hit she must've been very angry. Han looked up as he watched Anakin walk out of the cave.
----------------
Anakin held out the piece of cloth that was dripping wet with cold water and handed it to the still stunned prince. "Here apply this to your cheek, Leia told me what happened."
"Thanks." Isolder answered applying the cold cloth to his cheek. "Leia's quite fond of you isn't she?" Isolder questioned looking the older Jedi in the eyes and haunted icy blue eyes.
Anakin nodded looking out towards the mountains towering the one they were on. "Yes she is, we developed a bond eventually. I think it really started to sink in when I gave her my old lightsaber and if she didn't trust me then Luke would've trained her and not both of us." Anakin said with a sweet look in his eyes. "She really is my daughter, I see so much of myself and Padme in her and I'm very proud of her. I regret hurting her on the death star and any other time we had confrontations." Anakin continued finishing up with regret in his voice. "I'm not proud of my past, not for the twenty-four years anyways." He noted Isolder was quiet before continuing, "I'll do anything to see that my little girl is happy with the man she chooses to marry."
Isolder nodded at the older mans words, knowing that there was a strong bond between Leia and Anakin and it would take a lot to destroy it. "I guess I have a lot to think about."
Anakin nodded as he turned towards the cave, darkness was beginning to settle over them as he watched a lone figure slowly approach the cave. Soon he thought they would be meeting this Baruka.

I strongly suggest finding a BIG cliff, Leia. *points to cliff* Right there. Now, push Isolder OFF that cliff, and go marry Han. *dusts hands off* There, now doesn't that feel better?

Isolder walked back into the cave feeling light headed. He almost blew it with Leia, if he hasn't done so already. He looked over and noted Han had her in a lovers embrace, and knew the two were deeply in love. Was he doing the right thing by asking Leia, if she already had someone in her life? Isolder sighed approaching Leia as she looked up at him with a frown, a question blazing in her eyes. "Princess, I'm sorry for the things I said. Its just, its going to take sometime to get used to the idea of Anakin being Vader."
Leia slowly nodded while watching him, absorbing his apology in. "Apology accepted." Leia said slowly breaking from Han who looked stunned and disappointed. Leia hugged Isolder and they sat down by the fire that Anakin had started earlier.
A voice from the front of the cave boomed out from the middle of no where, "what are you doing inside my cave?" Everyone turned to the entrance as Baruka slowly entered the cave walking with a cane. "I must warn you, I am forbidden and cannot welcome you, you must leave immediately."
Luke stood up and walked slowly towards her, getting a better view of her face, purple welts covered her face, he smiled warmly at her, "then perhaps we can welcome you home."
Tennial stepped forward with a pleading expression, "we need your help Baruka, I believe you were going to be rejoining the singing mountain clan in two years from now."
Baruka looked from Tennial to Anakin and Luke, "you are not what you seem. Who are you?"
"They're male casters from the stars, they're jedi." Tennial answered quickly.
Baruka studied Anakin carefully taking in his features and force sense, "you seem familiar too me."
"My wife was the ambassador for this planet, Senator Amidala." Anakin answered quickly.
"Yes, I remember but theres something else...." Baruka said walking towards Anakin starring up at him, "there is only one person I have met with your height...."
"I was Lord Vader." Anakin answered as he watched her eyeing him wearly.
"Yes, it was your master who betrayed the night sisters by promising them transport and later retracting the deal leaving everyone stranded; once it became apparent to the Emperor, that the night sisters were a threat to his position."
Leia looked over at her father feeling disbelief washing through her. This is one thing she didn't hear yet. "This is why the garrison is here, isn't it? Some place to leave political figures so they cannot stand in his way."
Anakin nodded while looking towards Leia. "Yes it is, unfortunately. If we can take the Imperial hold off this planet, we should be able to send a trasport back for the prisoners later if we survive this." He looked towards Baruka, "will you help us? we need to get inside the garrison, and we know you used to live there."
Baruka walked to the middle of the cave while waving her cane, "yes yes, the off worlders who've come to destroy our world." She began muttering some words, sand began to swirl and take shape into a living map, Leia gasped as she watched figures walk around the garrison, she had a small fear inside and suddenly understood why Palpatine was scared of them. They weld power she never seen used before. What were they up against?
Isolder Luke and Han walked around the map while looking for a place of entry. Han pointed to a door, "this leads into the kitchen, its the perfect entry point."
Isolder nodded as he looked at the tower, "I have a feeling this is where they keep the ship."
Luke shook his head while looking towards the living map, suddenly a lone figure in a cowel looked up at him. Baruka quikly squashed the loan figure drawing in a deep breath. "Gatheroine."
Anakin studied the garrison just as it fell apart. He looked over with a frown. "Well, what do you think?"
"I think our best chance is through the kitchen." Han chipped in with a frown.
Anakin nodded in agreement as he looked towards Baruka. He reached over and slowly raised his hand to her face. A purple bruise began to shrink and disappear under his touch. "Tonight, we'll work on your healing. I've been down this road before as well and know the horrors of walking the dark path."
Baruka looked up at Anakin with tears of hope in her eyes. "Lets sit by the fire."
-------------------------
Baruka sat down and listened to Anakin as he told stories of the horrors he had suffered under the darkside and how he had slide so easily. Luke frowned and took his fathers hand into his own for reassurance. "Always use the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. Always warn and let your opponent attack you first." Anakin said feeling grateful for Lukes support. He looked towards Baruka with a soft smile. "Its not an easy road back, but you need to let go of the guilt if your going to heal properly. You cannot fall back once you regain everyones trust."
Baruka smiled looking towards Anakin with a new found hope that she will be able to successfully rejoin the singing mountain clan. Leia joined Anakin and Luke by the fire, all three of them stretched out in the force and began repairing her face and body. Baruka gasped feeling the power radiating off the three as her body glowed with the force. She looked down watching the damage from the ravages of the darkside disappear.
-----------------------------------
The next morning everyone climbed aboard their ranchors and started towards the prison, Anakin looked down at Baruka with a smile as he guestered to his ride. "Will you come back with me?" He questioned gently hoping she would.
"But the rules......" Baruka began but clipped her mouth shut at the look Anakin gave her.
"I've always been a rule breaker." Anakin said while looking at her with a smile. "Come on, usually to get through this type of ordeal you need to be surrounded by friends and family who will help you find your way again."
Baruka looked at the sky feeling Gatheroine curse at her, she frowned while turning her attention to Anakin. "I can feel the darkness still calling to me, she curses me and tries to force me back to the darkside, that is why I cannot return."
"She was someone close to you wasn't she?" Anakin questioned gently.
"She was my sister." Baruka replied with a sad frown.
Anakin frowned while holding his hand out invitingly, "come with me, you can prove to everyone you've changed."
Baruka looked uncertain as she took Anakins hand and climbed up onto the ranchor, the ranchor looked back and howled a greeting.
Baruka smiled patting Posh, "nice to see you again Posh."
"Lets go back the to mountain." Anakin turned Posh around and they raced back towards the clan.
