Revelation(Sequel to Serenity and Devotion); Jaina/Jag; Completed 8/3

Prelude...

The Jedi Academy was reopened on Yavin Four in the year 39 A.B.Y., under the instruction of Master Kam Solusar, his wife, Tionne, and Jedi Masters Tahiri Veila and Raynar Thul. Protected by the Force, Yavin Four once again serves as the training center for young Jedi candidates.

The Jedi Council remains in Naboo's magnificent capitol, Theed, delegating the actions of the prosperous Order, under the authority of Luke Skywalker.

The Alliance, consisting of the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant and the Chiss Empire, has been experiencing an extended era of peace, something long desired after the long, hard years of war against the Yuuzhan Vong.

That peace is tentative, though, with sightings of Vong vessels drawing nearer to the edge of the galaxy, and rumors of rogue Vong castes sending scouts back into the galaxy they were unable to conquer.

Fearing a coup, Jaina Solo Fel has met with Overlord Harrar, trying to decide the best way to eliminate the rebellious castes before they regain control of the Yuuzhan Vong. It is unclear what their motives are, or what the future holds, but the Alliance and the Jedi aren't taking any chances. They know what the Yuuzhan Vong are capable of. Should Domain Lah gain control of the Vong Empire, they would lead their people in a brutal attack against the New Republic.

The peace that so many died for, that so much was risked for, now hangs precariously in the balance, and only the Force knows how it will end...



45 A.B.Y; Yavin Four


Kyp Durron watched the boy in front of him twirling his lightsaber with unnatural grace and ease, his eyes closed and his mind absorbed in the Force. His short, cropped, dark hair bristled in the slight wind, his dark robe swirling around him.

The Force was strong in this boy, very strong. But that wasn't surprising, given his bloodline.

The brilliant silver blade arched through the sky, curving downward in an elegant and controlled spiral. Kyp had to admit that his swordsmanship was flawless. His lightsaber moved in his hand as naturally as the Force flowed in him.

The boy was sixteen year old Anakin Fel, the oldest child of Kyp's partner and closest friend Jaina Solo Fel. He was also Kyp's apprentice.

Anakin had been named for Jaina's brother, who had fallen in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong over seventeen years ago. His death had catapulted her down a path of anger and vengeance, her own raw anguish leading her to fall prey to the dark side for a time. She had managed to find her way back to the light, with some help from Kyp and a lot of understanding and support from her family and friends, and Kyp believed that her experience had made her stronger. Anakin's death, though, had not. Sometimes Kyp would look at her and see that sad, far away look in her eyes, and he knew she was reliving his death at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Kyp didn't think she would ever be completely over the loss of her younger brother.

"Very good, Anakin," he called evenly.

Anakin extinguished his lightsaber and turned to face him, his pale green eyes bright. "Thank you, Master Durron," he said, bowing his head in acknowledgment. "I have been practicing."

So I've noticed, Kyp thought. Anakin's lightsaber skills had been improving more and more each day, and Kyp found that the boy seemed as focused on his lightsaber training as his namesake and uncle had been at his age.

"Where are the others?" Kyp asked.

"Aunt Tahiri is helping Padme with her levitation skills in the temple," Anakin replied. His eyes glittered proudly. "She has a real talent for TK, you know."

Kyp nodded. "I know. Where are your cousins?"

Anakin shrugged. "Ben is meditating, and I think that Owen is out exploring with is friends."

"And the twins?" Kyp asked, imagining the sort of trouble the two of them would probably get into today.
"I'm not entirely sure," Anakin replied hesitantly. "I think that Ryen said something about going down to the river with Hala, but I'm
