《Dark Past: Abuse- Anakin & Ahsoka》Chapter 13: The First Sign
Advertisement
She dragged herself up. She would not allow some simple pain to stop her, but her heartbeat began to quicken and she felt disoriented. She wobbled a bit, grabbing onto a nearby switch to stabilize herself.
"Snips, you coming?" Anakin asked, turning around concernedly.
"Coming, Skyguy!" Ahsoka called after him. She tried to take a step forward before a loud whirring sound echoed through the room.
"Clankers!" Rex yelled, with an air of sarcastic ecstasy.
Ahsoka stabilized herself and charged forwards, but ran into a droid.
"Ahsoka, what did you do?" Anakin asked annoyedly.
She didn't reply. The world was spinning, and she felt feverish. She looked back and tried to find the switch she moved, but everything was a rainbow of colour. Everything was flying around in her mind.
Then, darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is Ahsoka okay?" A voice said shakily. "Did a droid shoot her down?"
"No sir, I think she may have collapsed from exhaustion. Happens a lot on the battlefield. I'm surprised she made it out alive. The clumsy droids must have assumed she was dead." Another voice replied.
Ahsoka woke up with a start. She looked around and found herself on the bed in the transport ship she had been in the last time she went to Raarsis.
"It's okay, Snips." It was Anakin. He set his hand comfortingly on her shoulder.
Young one, you are in danger!
She gasped. "What? Why am I in danger?"
Everyone looked very confused. "Look, little'un, you took quite a blasting out there. Best if you rest." Rex said softly. The clones filed out of the room. Anakin stayed behind.
"If you need help, Snips, I'll be right here." He smiled, almost apologetically. He handed her a few pills. "Painkillers for your ankle, if you need any." He stood up to leave.

"We'll take care of the rest of this mission ourselves. You'll miss out on a lot of fun." He teased.
"Aw, shut up!" Ahsoka laughed.
Find medical help! You need it, now!
Ahsoka tried to push the strange voice out of her head. Why would she need medical help?
Because you are injured badly, can't you see?
"Pfft," Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "I just fainted, that's all."
You are blind to your troubles. You're blinded by pride.
"But I'm not injured!" She protested weakly to the voice. "Collapsing doesn't warrant any medical scans."
Heed my warning. You have little time, young one.
She disregarded the voice. She was obviously hallucinating, or something like that. Must be a side effect of fainting.
Not a side effect. The Force, here to help you. Not a hallucination, either.
"Then what are you?" She asked irritably. She was tired of the mind games. First a mirror image of her future self. Now, a voice that was driving her crazy.
We have met before. Just listen. Don't try anything to harmful to your current physical state.
"I don't care. Are you some sort of prank Anakin is playing on me? Well, if you are, you aren't deterring me from going on the mission." She snapped. Ahsoka swallowed two grey tablets and immediately perked up. The painkillers were very useful.
Don't be proud, young one. Don't let pride be your downfall.
"Okay, bye." She shouted as she grabbed a backpack, racing out of the ship to join in the battle.
Oh, how she would regret it.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.
