Restoring A World
~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: Landing on Tatooine)~~~
The ship's light rumbling comes to a stop as I finish breaking through the atmosphere. My home comes into view, and I land my ship. Dust and sand rise from their stupor and block my view of the rolling dunes of Tatooine. More of my memories from my old life has been resurfacing. Not just my knowledge of Star Wars. Life before being confined to that hospital bed.
My mom from Earth is where my fondest memories come from me... The same disease that took her life also took mine, and my death was much faster than hers... "She hung in there for as long as she could for me... Always trying to look strong for me... Even when she wasn't..." Some things never change... A mother's willingness to do anything for their babies.
I stand from my seat and head towards the exit of my ship, and as the ramp lowers, I step on the familiar dry desert world. As more knowledge has settled in my mind, I've learned a few more interesting things about myself and the time that I'm in. I was conceived by The Force just as Anakin Skywalker was, but my mother isn't normal.
Abeloth is an entity of incredible Force Power and is considered pure evil. That wasn't the woman that I met on that planet. The woman I met on that prison world surrounded by The Maw wasn't pure evil. I could feel it... It means that specific things are different in this Star Wars. I make my way to my old childhood home and take a seat in the sandstone booth.
It's not comfortable, but it's my home. My knowledge of Star Wars is slowly coming back to me. I didn't think the wish I made would've been so drastic. All I wanted was to be strong enough, never to be hurt again. Seems the manifestation of my wish was being conceived from The Force and birthed by the strongest and most powerful Mortis God.
Since The Emperor is no longer my target, that means I'll have to find other uses of the fleet I'm getting from The Hutts. Vitiate didn't kill my parents, but I know the first place I need to start looking is The Star Cabal. A shadow organization that controls both The Empire and The Republic. I remember them from my times playing through Star Wars: The Old Republic.
My mind wanders to a place that isn't a jumbled mess of information, and calmness washes over me. Now that I know what I am... I wonder what I can really do... My true name in given to me by my birth mother, Abeloth, is Amor... I don't know whether I should go by that or keep my current name. Lillis and Jorand are still my mom and dad too...
Thinking about abandoning their name makes my stomach turn... There aren't any rules saying I can't use both... That'd just end up confusing people these days, so I'll keep my true name to myself. Another question I need to ask is, should I still target The Empire? Now that they're no longer my goal for revenge, there is no need to go after them...
I don't need to involve myself in this war further, but The Empire stands for a lot of dark and evil things. Slavery, exploitation, disregard for life on any level... The Republic won against The Empire, but only in the sense that The Empire imploded from the Siths power struggles. My presence might affect the knowledge that I have...
Instead of digging further into my own mind about these questions, I want to try something more productive. I stand up and leave the sandstone booth and head back outside. "Given who I am... Are there any limits to The Destruction or Creation that I can inflict..." I look beyond and into the hot, waving heat of Tatooine.
Now is a time to test something that I've wanted to do but have been too bitter to try. I take a knee, and I place my hand on the sand. I close my eyes and sink myself into The Force. I push The Force into Tatooine and pour power into its own lifeforce. I open my eyes, and as I continue what I'm doing, grass sprouts from under my palm and rapidly spreads. Seeing this, I triple my efforts.
