An Explanation...
~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: Prison World, The Maw)~~~
This is my mother? She's my mother in Star Wars... The one that gave birth to me... She senses my confusion, but I keep my knowledge of the future from her... It's not easy... "My name is Abeloth... I gave birth to you in this very spot... In this water... You were my gift from The Force... My Amor..." Abeloth... I know that name... I can't place it, though... I'm still getting used to what I now know...
She pulls away from hugging me and lets go of her Force Grip on me. She's still lacking clothes, but my eyes and mind are too busy taking in her face. "Amor? Is that my name?" She smiles and slowly nods her head. My real name is Amor... I wonder if it means anything? "What is this place?" She frowns at my question.
She rests her arm on my shoulder and walks me out of the water with her. She changes her size to match mine, so we can walk side by side. "You are Amor, Beloved Prince of the Stars. You have no father... The Force conceived you in me... That's how you came to be." That's just like Anakin Skywalker, but I was born to Abeloth in The Old Republic Era.
We stop 15 feet away from the lake and look out to the endless plains of grass and trees in the distance. "This world is my prison. I'm locked away here. The Ones believe me to destroy all life in the galaxy if I'm freed. They fear my power." Abeloth... My mom... She's powerful in The Force... The strongest Force Sensitive I've ever met... If you'd even call her that.
Her head turns towards the stars, and I follow, looking to where she looks. "I'm trapped in a place called The Maw. A location in Wild Space that Black Holes surround. Every 100,000 years, The Ones come and make sure my prison is still strong." To be honest, I don't know what to do with this information. My mind is full of conflict now. Where I once had resolve, there is doubt.
Everything that I am is in question. "Does that mean I'm trapped here now? Cause I'm here, I think... It feels like I'm here..." I can feel the air and wind blowing. I can take a deep breath, and oxygen fills my lungs. The Force flows through me, making me more connected to this place and to Abeloth. My mother. She stands in front of me and moves my head to look her in the eyes.
She has determination in her eyes, and I know she's about to say something serious. "You are not trapped here. Your spirit has come here. Your body is still on Ilum." That's good, for me at least. "When you return to your body, you must find me, Amor... Once I'm free, we can live a life that we never had." I don't know if this is good or bad...
The Force isn't telling me anything... It's warning me about her words... "You are my Beloved Prince of the Stars. Come free me, Amor... And we'll make up for all the time that we lost..." As she finishes talking, her finger taps my temple, and I pass out. In what only seems like seconds, I wake up outside the tunnel that I took to get deeper into the Caves of Ilum.
The Force tells me that I've been gone for two days. It only felt like a couple of hours... Despite my strength in The Force, there is still much to learn. This has been humbling, and I didn't know I needed something like that. I was once a child named Nathan Athena from Earth, but I'm Nathan Opal... I'm also Amor... I need to get to a secluded place and sort through all this.

He's grown so big... His spirit was so warm and gentle... He's stronger than when he was a baby. His power will continue to grow, and he'll surpass even me one day. "My sweet Amor... I'll be waiting... I know that you'll come for me... I'm your mother, and you do anything for the people that are your family." The day I get to see him again, in his actual body... It'll be the greatest day of my life...
