«Henceforth, thou will be known as… Darth… Vader.»

«Thank you… master.» King Anakin said, bowing down to the hologram who Sidious had managed to send across time and space. From the other dimension he was in. To the very kingdom of Hasar-Adar.

But in the tent’s opening, stood his newest apprentice, Zilla.

The young teenager had come back from her trip in search for Ahsoka who refused to come back with her, and now she gasped, before covering her mouth with her hand.

She had heard everything of the conversation between the humble king and the Sith.

As Anakin slowly turned around to face her, looking surprised that she was back, she took a step back as fear overwhelmed her, when she saw that his eyes where glowing with yellowness.

«Master?» she carefully wispered.

Then his face turned grim, and he stretched out his arm towards her. His fingers and his tump were a few inches from each other, and Zilla felt her feet leaving the ground as she got lifted into the air by invisible forces.

She could no longer breathe, and her surrondings started to blur as everything became unfocused before her eyes.

«You should not have seen this!» she heard him say, «Nor should you had heard…»

And then, every noise became more distanced, as her eyes fell down, and everything slowly, became black.

…

Zilla woke up, finding herself lying in a bed in another tent.

She slowly rose up into an sitting position.

Then she got aware of Anakin who sat there on a chair near the opening.

«What did you do to me?» she yelled. Her voice a little to harsh than she really meant.

Anakin turned his head towards her,

«What is you talking about, Zilla?» he asked as he rose up, «I found you.» and his voice where soft as he walked up to the side of the bed, «I think you must have hitten your head.»

Zilla looked down at her hands who were resting upon the quilt,

«No…» she looked up with confusion, «I saw you… talking to a Sith… and…»

King Anakin placed his hand on her shoulder,

«Whatever you think you saw, Padawan; It was only in your head.»

Twelve year old Amanda stood in the entrance of the dark palace, when princess Karinne came in, followed by prince Luke and princess Leia, who still had the racoon with them.

She was dressed up in the most glorious wedding dress. With white roses in her hands. But her face looked anguished, and where painted with grief. As if she had just been crying in sorrow. Pouring out her heart, alone. With fear. And anxiety.

She now stood there, looking straight in front of here as the royal’s came in. And her face shoved no feelings at all.

«What’s going on, mother?» princess Karinne asked as she closed the door.

The evil Queen Ventress, came walking up to them from the throne longer inside, and she gently laid her small, long fingers upon Amanda’s shoulders,

«A wedding dearie. Isn’t she beatiful?»

Karinne looked shocked at her,

«Who’s wedding, mother?»

«Yours! I simply needed someone to try your wedding-dress on, and it fits perfect.»

«You mean it isn’t Amanda’s wedding?»

«No.» chuckling, «Of course not.»

Karinne took some steps back,

«Oh, I ain’t getting married, mother. I’m only eight.»

«We brought a racoon! Happy racoons day, father!» the royal twins, seven year old Luke and Leia announced.

King Anakin frowned,

«Get that thing, elsewhere! While I am packing up here, I want no racoon!»

The twins shared a dissapointed look at each other, before they walked away. Leaving the camp. They walked in the direction of the springside, leaving the forest.

Springside and autumn side layed just between both winter-land and summer-land and it was there the royal school also was. Which were just for royalty.

When they came to the school, they found princess Karinne, who were eight, sitting outside the building, on the fresh grass, with her legs crossed.

It looked like as if she was in a deep meditation.

«Hi, Karin.» Luke said.

Karinne opened her eyes that became hard as steel,

«It’s Karinne!» she yelled, K-A-R-I-N-N-E, Karinne.»

«Sorry…» Luke appologized, feeling uncomfortable, «But how shall we know the difference?»

«Never mind…» the princess rose up to her feet, kicking away a grass stubble with her boot, «My mother dosen’t understand me, and she dosen’t even try to.» looking up at them, «All she care about, is being a dark one.»

«What’s a dark one?» the twins asked.

«Well, you know, you have this special dark power… and a dagger with your name on it.» she spit on the ground, «She is guarding that dagger with her life. No one is allowed to touch it.» She gestured dramatically with her hands in the air, «I can’t even enter every room in my own home.» her last sentence was a shout, and then it was silence.

Leia had a distanced look on her face, as if she was far away,

«You can eat of every three in the garden…» she said with a sleepy voice, «But this one; this is classified…»

Prince Luke smiled at his silly sister before his look grew serious again,

«Who is your mother?» he asked.

Karinne lowered her gaze,

«The evil Queen. Ventress. But I’m nothing like her.»

«Perhaps we can… help you?»

«Help me?» she stared them up and down, «Eh, no.» and then she turned her back at them.

Leia snapped back to life, and shouted out,

«I got it! We’re gonna help father!»

Luke raised his eyebrow,

«Father? What about him?»

«We’re gonna search for his happiness. And we’re gonna call it operation racoon.»

Princess Karinne turned around to face them again,

«I’m in. I’m the excellent spy around here. And you’re gonna look far and wide to find anyone as good as me.»

Ahsoka leaves…

Zilla… stays.

Anakin; Moving forth to hunt for the treasure…

Zilla had her gaze fixed on the sky surrounding her whole world, as she sat under the one three where Ahsoka had left her moment ago.

She hung her head in agony, turning her gaze down.

It was a sunny day though, but Zilla didn’t feel up to it. She should had rejoiced, maybe, in this fine weather of Summer-land, but she couldn’t.

She felt empty, alone and worst of all; She felt betrayed. Worst of all; By her own sister.

Did Ahsoka really mean it? She didn’t think so.

Maybe her mind was occupied. By fear. Of what the king might do to her. But Anakin was good now. Wasn’t he? And had he ever been bad at all?

As the thoughts ran through her mind, she heard some voices in the distances.

«We ar not going through the dark forest. It’s too dangerous.»

«But how else are we to find Amanda?»

Then she saw who it belong too. Hagar and Isha, as they neared the three where she sat pondering, stopping in front off her.

«Where you been, dearie?»

Zilla looked at them for a moment, before she turned her gaze down,

«I’ve been with the King… and then I ran away.»

«Maybe you shall go back to him then?»

«My sister betrayed and left me, I’m not going anywhere untill she comes back.»

«Stubborness.» Isha pointed out, «You are stubborn to just sit there. Like waiting for a miracle.»

«But she is coming back. Isn’t she?»

Isha slowly shaked her head,

«You have your friends right in front off ye. We’re all that you need.»

Hagar grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet,

«Come and be a pirate together with us! We have also lost someone, u’know.»

After walking through the forest, most of the day, seeing it turn to evening night, Zilla came upon a barely conscious body, laying asleep under a three, completely exausted.

She bent down by the figure, and it was;

«Ahsoka?» she gripped her arm, as pure joy ran through her heart, «Ahsoka! Oh, finally I found you!» She went to sit down by her side, «Oh, how glad I am. I just can’t wait untill you wake up!» and as she sat there, she slowly drifted up to sleep.

But when she woke up in the morning next day, she looked around her, to see that her twin-sister was gone.

«Ahsoka…?» she rubbed her eyes, as feelings of sadness came through, «Ahsoka!» and to dissapointed to stand up, she started to cry, «Sister? Why did you leave when I just found you? Why?» and she hung her head, wrapped her arms around her knees, and just sat there, as tears streamed down her face.

«But I didn’t leave, dearie.» she heard a voice say from behind. Zilla slowly raised her head to see a dark hooded figure standing under one off the threes beneath, looking at her, with her arms over her chest.
And then she turned the hood down.

Zilla looked in amazement at her,

«Ahsoka!» starting to arise, «I…»

«No. No need to get up. I simply went to get us some breakfast, and if you are hungry, you can share a meal with me.»

«Sister.» Zilla went up to her feet anyways, before hurrying towards her. Throwing her arms around her with tears in her eyes, «We’re finally reunited at last! Aren’t you glad about it too?»

Ahsoka sighed, before freeing herself from the hug,

«Yes, I’m glad, dearie. But unlike you, I have learned to controll my feelings.»

«Just wait untill Anakin sees you.» Zilla burst out with, «He will be so glad too, and everything will be like it was. Just like before.»

But Ahsoka shaked her head,

«I’m not going back to him…»

«What?» Zilla’s look grew serious, «But… you’re his padawan! You have to come back!»

Ahsoka turned around. Not facing her, she said,

«No.» and with one hand, making itself up to the point between the two horns on her head, she plucked her padawan-braid off, and turned to face Zilla again, «At least not now. After everything I’ve been through, I can’t… I won’t…» she lifted her braid towards her, «Will you hold on to this for me?»

Zilla looked shocked at her,

«But… But you just came back! The King would want to see you!»

Ahsoka dropped the braid into Zilla’s palm,

«He must not know that I’m here. So… I suggest you return to where you came from, and let me follow my own path. Please.»

«But… why? Why are you doing this, sis? And why do you think that I would ever abandon you?»

«Anakin is a powersick manipulator. And I need to protect myself, I need to protect my heart. I don’t wanna end up as him.»

Zilla put her hand on her shoulder,

«But he has changed, dear. Evolved, as he calls it.»

Ahsoka shaked her head,

«He’s just toying with you, sis. I don’t think he has.»

«But can’t you just give him one, last chance?» lifting the padawan-braid towards her, «We’ll be Padawans together, and he’ll train us both.»

«Oh, please go back, dear. I don’t wanna meet him, and if you follow me, he might send out someone to search for you, and then they might find me too, and we can’t risk that.»

Zilla turned her gaze down,

«Wherever you go, I’ll always be at your side.»

«No! Just go back!» Ahsoka shouted, «Go back to Anakin!»

«You have changed. Yes?» Zilla asked The King, who stood before her, in all his greatness.

«No, I have evolved.» he proclaimed, laying his arm around Padme.

«Evolved?»

«Yes. I’m a father now. And I finally see things more clearly.» smiling down at his children, Luke and Leia.

«Oh… So that’s what happens when you become a parent?»

«Secrecy, darling. I wouldn’t ruin a surprise for ya, would I?»

…

Amanda sat sobbing in the darkened place, where she was locked up, in a chamber, in the dark palace of the underground kingdom of the evil Queen, Ventress.

Miss Ventress was studying her dagger which she held in her hands.

She was enjoing the sight of it. And let her fingers run across the ingravement of her name, which was written upon the blade.

Amanda had a similar thing too, but that was an axe, which had Amanda’s name upon the sharp blade of the axe.

Together, the two of them could be unstoppable, if they joined each other: Like two darkened souls of evil, with their encanted tools, that only belonged to them.

But Amanda didn’t want to be dark any more. She wanted to be good, which was why she had ran away from this world. But now… now that she was back, her torment had become even worse than before.

Queen Ventress turned a wicked grin at her,

«How unfortunate that you wouldn’t see the light of day, Amanda.» chuckling, «Never again will you experience the joy of freedom.»

Amanda slowly raised her gaze upon her,

«I’m done serving you!» she cried, before lowering her gaze upon her axe who layed at her feet, «This tool has no power over me! And neither has you!»

«How well spoken of you!» The Queen proclaimed, «You’re awfully right.» stepping closer to her, «I know that the one who can free you, is your self, but clearly you’re all to weak to do that, which is why you will always be in prison.»

«No!»

…

«I need to get back to Hasar-Adar.» Ahsoka told the guy in the suit.

«Hasar-Adar?» he repeated, «But why didn’t you say so? It’s right on the other side of the mountain!»

«You think you could get me there?»

«I could always try, dearie.»

Thou est little girl of Zion: How’d you do, how’s your spirit, how’s your joy?

When the handcuffs where locked in its place, around her handwrist, she felt so lost, so, so…

«Oh, my precious Amanda.» she heard a familiar voice say, «How I missed you, dearie.»

Amanda looked up to see the queen of darkness standing before her in the darkened cell, barerly lit with light,

«You know you can’t enter this world whitout me knowing it. Hahaha.»

Amanda frowned at her,

«I’m no longer your object! You can no longer use me!» she protested, only to get a frightening laugh in reply, that would cause any bird to fly away,

«Oh, precious dear,» her laugh echoed through the walls as she laid her long fingers around her chin, «You couldn’t be more wrong.»

…

Ahsoka gasped as she woke up. Opening her eyes wide before she looked around her.

Was she dead? It didn’t feel so.

«No need to thank me.» she heard from behind, and turned toward the voice, «It just happened to be flying past, and saw you falling from that hill. So I did what I always does; rescuing people.»

Ahsoka rose up, looking questingly at the guy dressed in a blue and red suit, with a red cape flying behind him, lifted by the wind,

«Who are you?»

The man gave her a weird look,

«You don’t know? Why? I’m superman of course.»

…

Zilla sank down to her knees in the forest. And it looked like she embraced the ground where the royal family where having a hike in the beatiful weather, as they entered summerland,

«Oh thou finest mud! How’d I’d missed ya! My very best friend!»

Anakin bent down beside her, with a worried look on his face as he laid his hand on her shoulder,

«Is everything allright, Zilla?»

The apprentice gripped hold of his long tunic,

«Oh your majesty!» she said in a dramatic tone, «How unfortunate that I should ruin your garment with my muddy hands!»

Anakin frowned before he sighed and shaked his head. But then he said,

«A little mud dosen’t hurt me, Zilla. The children play in it all the times.» looking at the royal twins Luke and Leia who stood close together, holding each others hands. And he slowly smiled.

«And they dosen’t have a care in the world.» The queen added, also smiling.

But all of a sudden, a forest kid came running in the direction where Zilla was having a reunion with the ground. He stopped in front of her, and as she looked up, he kicked his boot in her face,

«Get out of the way, silly!» he yelled, «I’m walking here!»

Zilla silently clutched her fists tight, untill they became almost white, and she bited her teeth together, slowly raising up,

«You got a problem, boy?»

«Yeah!»

«Zilla…?» King Anakin took off his crown, while his face turned miserable, «But where is Ahsoka then?»

Zilla looked down,

«I don’t know… your majesty.» doing a curtsey.

Anakin walked closer to her,

«I’m sorry. I’m the one who made the mistake here. It is because of me that she’s gone.»

Zilla looked confused at him,

«Beg your pardon?» rising one eyebrow.

«Zilla…» he sighed as he layed one hand on her shoulder, «I didn’t realise that when I got rid of you, I… I would also lose your sister…»

The padawan raised her head, loking straight at him,

«Well, what are you going to do about that?»

«I don’t deserve this position…» he tried. Sounding humble.

Zilla blinked,

«Well why don’t you just give it back to David then?»

Anakin gasped,

«What?»

«Yeah. You took winterland from him, I’m just saying.»

«You… want me to give it back?» setting the crown back upon his head as he looked shocked upon her.

«It your choice, your majesty.»

Anakin walked past her,

«No.» turning to face her again, «That’s some bad advice coming from you.»

…

Hagar sighed. Looking down at Isha, before she hurried away from her, like as if she had been burned. Rising quickly to her feet again,

«I’m sorry, sister. You may be royal, but I’m not. We don’t have the same mother.»

Isha also rose up,

«I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t had upset you…»

«That’s alright.» looking around, «Where’s Amanda?»

…

Ahsoka had come to the end of the flower-field, and then she jumped off the cliff, leaping into the air. Just like the shadow had said. But then she heard behind her,

«Not like that, your fool.»

And then she fell. Falling down, into nothing.

«Aaaaa…»

With her eyes closed shut, and with nothing with thin, empty air around her, she suddenly blacked out.

And down, down, she fell.

Hagar, Isha and Amanda leapt through that open portal and rolling down that grassy field in Hasar-Adar. Leaving Hondo behind with Abid in the real world.

Hagar was ontop on Isha, grabbing her by the throat, punching her in the face,

«So you think you’re a princess, huh?»

«Yes! And so are you.»

«Nonsense!» putting up a knife, «We have always been pirates!»

Amanda stood with her axe in her hand, watching them, crying out,

«Stop it! Stop acting like villains! Sisters is supposed to support each other!»

Hagar turned her gaze at her, tears in her eyes,

«Stay out of this, you…»

…

Zilla stood on the castles balcony, looking out into the night, sighing.

King Anakin walked in on her, placing his hand on her shoulder,

«Something you want to tell me, Snips?»

«No, master.» not even looking at him.

Anakin took place by her side, also looking into the night,

«Ahsoka…» sighing, «Lately you have been acting so…»

Zilla turned her gaze at him,

«Acting so what?»

«You… I can tell you have not been yourself since you came back. Is anything bothering you.»

Zilla sighed heavily, before turning away from him with a burdened heart,

«It…»

«You can tell me everything, you know.»

«Yes… I.» she tried to look at him again, but couldn’t realy look him in the eyes, «I’m not sure that I can… I’m sorry.»

«Tell me, padawan.»

But Zilla walked back inside again. She turned and gazed back at him,

«You wouldn’t like to hear it…»

«But you have to get it off your chest! Now tell me and let us move on!»

Zilla looked down at the floor,

«I’m not who you think I am… I’m not Ahsoka.»

The shadow opened the door for her, and she saw a great flower-field.

«Now run!» it told her, «Run as fast as you can and don’t ever look back.» giving her a push through the door, «And when you reach the end off the cliff, you jump!»

«Jump unto what?» Ahsoka asked, confused.

«Run!» the shadow of Anakin shouted, «No questions! Just run! It will get you out of here. Run! Before it is to late. Before you get doomed to this place forever.»

Ahsoka started running, hearing the shadow shouting after her,

«And don’t look back!»

…

Zilla slowly approched the throne, seeing him sitting there.

King Anakin, with his little daughter Leia on his lap. The five year old little princess.

It was early in the morning. Anakin was telling his daughter a tale, while Zilla stopped in front off them, ready to reveal her pressence.

They haven’t even spotted her yet, or had they?

Zilla chose to speak up, saying the first thing that came to her mind,

«Its an extraordinary daughter you have there, your majesty.» doing a little bow before she stood upright on her feet.

But the king didn’t lift his gaze towards her, immediately,

«It seems we have a customer.» he said to Leia, «What do you say to go and play with Luke?»

«All he care about is his…»

«Or would you rather stay here and watch?»

«I don’t know. Maybe I go and wake him up…» looking towards the stranger beneath them, «If we got a customer, he don’t wanna miss it.» and so she went down from his lap and ran away.

Finaly the king raised his gaze towards Zilla. But he couldn’t see who she was, because she had her hood over her head, which covered the most of her face.

«Why hast thou cometh before thy king today?»

Anakin formally began.

Zilla throwed her hood back and raised her head to look upon him. A person different from the one she remembered. Or was he different? Or was it only a camouflage he covered himself with, whenever he sat on his throne?

But as they eyes met, the kings eyes widened, and he stood up on his feet, slowly,

«A-Ahsoka?» shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, he began walking down the stairs towards her, «Is that really you?

Zilla bit her tongue, feeling uncertain. Uncomfortable, with no idea of what to say.

The best thing was to be honest, even if… she so much didn’t want to hurt his feelings,

«No…» she let out, «No, sir… your majesty I mean.»

But Anakin gently grabbed her forearms as he reached her, as if handling a porcelain-doll that could easily break,

«Ahsoka…» he slowly embraced her before looking her in the eyes, «Ahsoka…» he repeated, «I…»

«Sir, no, sir…» Zilla tried, but she got interubted.

«Ahsoka.» he smiled. A warm smile that lightened up his whole face, «Words cannot describe how glad I am to see you again. After all those years, and you haven’t aged one bit.»

«It has only been three weeks, sir.» Zilla answeared, «But I must say that you look older.»

The King chuckled,

«The time is different in this world, Snips.»

Zilla immediately turned her gaze down, as she took some steps back from him. He had just called her Snips, which where the nickname he only used on Ahsoka. She laid her hand over her heart, breathing heavily. He would never call her that if he knew who she was. She felt his hand, softly touch her shoulder,

«What’s the matter, apprentice?» he wondered, «Care to join us for breakfast?»
