《Forbidden Love || Anakin x Reader》Chapter 75: In the Shadows
Advertisement
Ani and I decided to have a small conversation to help speed up time. We kept walking, following Daughter to Father. We had no idea what we were doing, but we followed anyways. We reached the other side of the mountain, where the season had changed. The leaves were now dark red, and nothing from the holy heaven look we had left.
"Watch out!" Anakin yelled. The rumbling of rocks from far above the mountains came tumbling down, and at that moment, Anakin held onto my waist and Daughters, pushing us forward. The stone had come between me, Anakin, and Daughter from Ahsoka and Obi-Wan.
Quickly Anakin placed his hands on my waist, helping me up from the dirty ground and then helping Daughter, whose response was nothing as expected. "It is forbidden for you to touch me." She said harshly. Ani stepped back, his hands raised in defense. "Sorry, I was just saving your life." He interjected.
"That was my brother's work. You are in great danger. Wait for me. Do not leave this place." she replied. She turned her back, leaving in the opposite direction. Great danger? I was just placed in some danger, and now I'm in it again. "Hey. Wait," Anakin shouted out. He waved his hand, insisting she turned around, although she didn't.
"Y/n, are you there? Are you guys alright?" Obi-Wan's voice came through into my holonet wrist band. "Yeah?" I asked even myself. We all just got stranded in the middle of nowhere on top of a tall mountain that we almost died on. "But our friend here has run off! Go back to the ship and try sending another distress call. We'll follow her and find out how to get off this rock." Ani suggested. He held my arm, talking into the holonet.
"And if this is a trap?" Kenobi asked, concerned.
"Then we're not gonna wait around to find out," Ani answered again, this time speaking closer into my wrist. "Anakin, stop. Wait for us to find another way around and meet you." Obi-Wan had begun to say, but stubbornly, Anakin decided to end the call.

I looked at him, surprised but disappointed at the same time. "What? More alone time for us." He smirked. I rolled my eyes in response; this wasn't the time to fool around. Quickly, the season had changed once again, and from afar, it seemed to be a storm approaching.
"Let's get going." He grabbed my hand, intertwining his fingers in mine. At least at this moment, we had ourselves. We ran up the mountain as the storm had worsened itself over a couple of minutes: strong winds and even lightning we all around us.
"In the cave!" He yelled, pointing into a small opening. We jumped in, looking into the far distance; there was another mountain, and on top was something glowing. "Whoever we're looking for is in that monastery," he commented.
We waited for a while for the storm to settle down, but it seemed like it never did, and as Always, his plans consisted of what I like to call aggressive negotiations. We left the cave we had settled in, running into the direction of the monastery, and as we approached it, the rain and thunder had calmed themselves. This was a place of peace, but there was a presence chilling as we entered it.
An older-looking man was sitting at the front, and all around him was nothing but some creepy statutes. We walked slowly in his direction, wandering our eyes over the whole place. He had a long white beard and wore some robes that were gray and cleaned.
We sat in front of the man our bodies had automatically wanted so. At least it seemed like the right thing to do. "Welcome, my friends." He voiced. His voice was unnatural, and it seemed to echo the ways Daughters' voice had. His eyes were a neon blue, and the way he presented himself was so godly.
"What is it that you want from us," Anakin asked, going straight to the point. "To learn the truth about who you both are, one that maybe you both have known all along, one you must believe to fulfill your destiny." The older man stood up from his chair, approaching Anakins face intensely.

"Enough with the riddles, old man. Tell us what's going on here." I sneered. I got up from sitting defending Anakin, who quickly pulled me to the side of his body. The thunder from the storm had begun once again.
"As you can see, there is nowhere else to go. It is late. You both will be my guest tonight." The man echoed; his hand was held out into a direction that led us to a door.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
"Wake up, my son. I must tell you a secret." There was a whisper, a voice that stung my heart deeply. I opened my eyes to find myself in an enclosed room. When did I get here? And where was Y/n?
"Whos there? Who's there, I said!" I asked, panting up from the concrete bed I laid in. I don't remember ever falling asleep; I just remembered walking into the room with an older-looking guy and waking up here.
"It is me, Ani, your mother." I turned around quickly to find my mother standing above me. She held out her arms, insisting I wrap my body into them, "What kind of black arts is this?" I asked, backing up in a hurry. I huddle my body into the corner of the room, surprised to see my mother, who was dead in the same room as I was.
"You're dead." I winced. I hated concluding that my mother was no longer here. "Nothing ever really dies, my son. I have a secret to tell you." She bounced off the bed, approaching my body slowly.
"The tell me." I walked around her body, spacing my body from hers. "Everything you have done, everything you have learned had led you here." I closed my eyes, wanting everything to end. Her voice sounded so much like hers, and all I could think about was the last time I had her in my arms.
"Whatever you are, my mother is... is dead," I mumbled.
"And you blame yourself. Your Jedi training has served you well, Ani, but you are more than a Jedi. Tell me, where id your pain so that I might take it away." She echoed in my ears. The flashbacks that haunted me every night came spiraling, "I was too late to save you. I failed as a Jedi, and I failed you." I sneered through my teeth.
The pain I had forcibly pushed away came back, running into my veins. It was as though I was suffocating, and I couldn't breathe. "How so?" My mother asked. Her palms touched my face the same way she had done was when I was a child.
"I tasted only vengeance when I slaughtered so many to avenge your death." The taste in my mouth was deadly. When I slaughtered the tuskens, I felt power. "It is time you realized that your guilt does not define you, my son. You define your guilt."
"The only love I feel in my heart is haunted by what would happen should I let go," I mumbled. She leaned her head onto my chest, cradling me. "Then it is not love. It is a prison." She whispered, sending chills down my spine. "But I... I have a wife. You never met her, but she is everything to me." I backed away from her body. She wasn't my mother; she was a creature trying to manipulate me.
"She's not your destiny." She sneered. "But I love her!" I yelled back. Her face and voice had turned demonic.
"No! She is a poisoner! She has been lying to you, and you don't realize!" Her eyes were pitch dark. I again moved my body to the other end of the wall, "What are you? And what do you mean?" I was confused. Had she been lying to me? About what?
"I am your fate as she is a mother!" She yelled harshly into my ears. Her figure changed into a gigantic spider and back into my mother. I held up my hand as she quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
