He Was My Master

~From Ahsoka Tano

He was my master, my brother, my best friend.No matter what, he always protected me, always supported me, and always trusted me.I had never known a feeling like that before I met him.It’s the purest form of love there is. The ability to put someone elses needs before yours and always look out for them.To be there to lift them up when they fall and and stand strong by their side through all life’s challenges.That was Anakin to me.Even when all the jedi doubted me, he believed in me.Even when everyone thought I was guilty, he trusted me, and went out of his way, and against the council to help me.He was the best friend you could ever have.He was so good, too good, Obi-Wan sometimes said…but that was Anakin Skywalker.Even as a boy, Padmé says he knew nothing of greed, and all he wanted to do was help people.He always gave without any thought of reward.He cared deeply about his friends, and looked out for them until the end.

   ****

Recently, I encountered a Sith lord, I had never encountered him before but still I sensed something familier in him.A presence I hadn’t felt since the Clone Wars…since I last saw Anakin.And so I meditated, and what I discovered, I refused to believe.All the pain,all the hate, all the anger I had ever felt or sensed poured into me.That horribly cold presnce you can sense only from someone consumed by evil.And it pierced through my heart like a dagger.I was just beginning to believe I knew who he was behind that mask, but it was impossible.Whoever this person was, he had attacked my master, slaughtered him, and burried him somewhere no one would ever be able to hear him.Somewhere so deep that even the slightest feeling of his love, warmth and kindness would never be sensed.This man had betrayed and murdered Anakin Skywalker.My master could never be this vile.This sick transformation of body and mind was NOT him. Even the thought of it was unthinkable…
