Chapter Text
In the beginning there was nothing
then there was the force.
or so the Jedi believe
but in truth in the beginning there was void
void split a piece of itself in four and created the matters the universe runs on
dark, heart, soul, dream.
the force in its entirety is the embodiment of soul and dream
the dark side dream and dark
the light heart and dream
it is a gift given by void.
but a greater gift could be given
and
once in a blue moon
it is.
Anakin was not a normal child.
despite being a slave he took everything and looked at its brighter side, no matter how dim.
he felt like if he kept smiling the universe would smile back some day
for a long long while it didn't
then Qui-gon came
and died.
but his death was not in vane for Anakin was free
he was free to be trapped in a nicer cell comfy bed and good food and drink
but he was not in the dreamland he dreamt of
but...
he had a friend
and that was nice.
Obi-wan walked into Anakin's room to find him drawing again
"Anakin did you remember to ask for art supply's?"
"yes master Obi-wan"
"well I guess 50th time was the charm"
Anakin laughed a bit at the joke
Obi-wan looked at the drawings of the strange symbols.
a heart, a star, a eye and an orb
always the same
Anakin sometimes drew other things
but those were always present
a constant.
this time he drew a orb with a red eye in the center next to it(he was scared just looking at it. it felt like something darker than the dark side)only the eye symbol was highlighted next to it
Kenobi wondered what that meant.
"Anakin what is the creature you have drawn today?"
"I... think it's called Zero I don't like it."
"what happened in the dream you saw it in?"
"it... was sending this pitch black gooey stuff everywhere it felt horrible. like a lack of... niceness"
"I think that might be how you perceive the dark side"
"is that a bad thing?"
"no its healthy even shows you aren't attracted to its pull"
"got it thank you master Obi-wan!"
"your welcome Anakin."
Obi-wan didn't know how much he would grow to hate Zero
he didn't even know it was real.
Anakin awoke after having another dream
they felt like visions.
but they couldn't be real right?
they didn't matter as much as the war anyway. but he liked doodling the new thing he sees every time he dreams, this time he saw a man wearing long robes like a Jedi but more comfy and colourful looking.
this one felt like Dream so he grabbed a page marked the star and began drawing
he got up one hour later with a complete drawing.
so he decided to think about what got him here.
he was dreaming of clockwork stars when he and Obi-wan went to protect Padme they discovered a plot to kill her and then a bunch of stuff happened and the war started. after a while the Seperatists made a base known as the dream granter it was made to make ideas into reality but was still unfinished.
they were here to stop it from being finished
and he realized those clockwork stars seemed far too close now.
