Obsession

The Vision of the Fates

Obi-wan sat in the room Mother Talzin set up for Maul when Maul first brought him and Ahsoka here. He groaned sensing the Nightsisters that were outside of the room guarding it, making sure he didn't leave. As he sat, he looked down at his mechanical legs and he was brought back to the memory of the day when Maul lost them. Only he felt and saw everything through Maul's eyes. The betrayal and pain flashed in his mind and he quickly tried to pull himself out of the memory. In doing so he was pulled into another.
He looked around feeling an overall sense of calmness. The sky was dark as the stars shone softly. There were dead bodies around him as he deactivated his double lightsaber.
"Well done my apprentice." A raspy male voice praised, from a hologram behind him. Obi-wan stood there looking at the dead bodies, he guessed Maul had killed, he didnt feel like he could move. A slight fear held him in place. Obi-wan was shocked once he recognized the bodies. They were the Jedi masters and their padawan learners that were reported missing and never found.
"Lord Plagueis suspects of nothing. I have led these Jedi here for your last trial and you have passed. Now return to me. Come to Corusant and I will elaborate more on my plans to end the Jedi, Lord Maul." The voice spoke and the hologram disappeared from the corner of Maul's eye.
"Yes, my Master." Obi-wan finally spoke and mindlessly walked to a ship. Starting it up, he put it into hyperdrive and the hologram of a man in a cloak appeared again.
"The Jedi have kept us hidden from the galaxy and from what is rightfully yours. Once we have revealed ourselves, I will execute Order 66. We shall exterminate all of the Jedi. Current and hidden. No one will be spared and no one will stop us. We will eliminate all Force users who will try to stop us. Even those witches who abandoned you, my apprentice." Darth Sidious explained and Obi-wan could feel the anger and betrayal coursing through the Sith body.
"You have come far my young apprentice. Farther than you would if you stayed there. You will have your revenge, Lord Maul." The older Sith finished
"Thank you, my Master." Obi-wan responded, the anger coursed through him so violently he only felt like he could say 'yes,' 'thank you,' and 'my master.' Even through the anger, Obi-wan felt a strong need to please and impress because if he didn't he would be all alone. His master was all he ever known beside the pain of abandonment and Maul did not want to feel that again.
A flash of white blinded Obi-wan and when he could see again, he saw the familiar planet of Lotho Minor. He pulled himself off of his garbage of a ship with the sharp pain of open wounds being dragged across the ground. Fear flooded him.
"Master?" The lone Sith spoke as he used the force to throw the word across the galaxy. Before he felt the fear, he felt anger of being betrayed and hurt by the Jedi he tried protecting. Now the fear was setting in. He had done this to himself, he didn't need to leave, but he knew the wrath of his master, but now he didn't care. He needed someone. Sure, he was left alone on a planet by his master, but he knew he would come back to get him. He knew he wouldn't be left alone because his master had promised. He had pleased his master and now he had disgraced his master. He knew his master wouldn't want him anymore. He knew his master knew what happened and had left him to die.

Obi-wan stood up back in his reality, he couldn't stand being alone at the moment. He walked to the door wanting to seek out Mother Talzin to find out why Maul had done something as foolish as deliver himself right to the Sith Lord everyone feared. He stoped remembering the Nightsisters were outside his door. He opened the door to find the Nightsisters looking at him.
"I do not wish to leave Dathomir, but I do wish to see my mother." Obi-wan said feeling a bit awkward calling Mother Talzin, mother, but the Nightsisters didn't see him as Obi-wan Kenobi. They saw him as Maul.
"Alright, but if you try to do anything we will use our magiks." A Nightsister warned and Obi-wan nodded as they took him to Mother Talzin. They walked in the room Talzin was in and the old witch stood up.
"Thank you sisters your assistance is not needed in here." Her voice echoed as the Nightsisters left and Obi-wan sensed her discomfort
"Mother, is everything alright?" Obi-wan walked over to her as she sat back down.
"Kenobi, please sit. What would you like to talk about?"
"You already know Mother, with and without your powers you know what I want to talk about."
"My son or if I'm able to switch your bodies back?"
"Both actually."
"Yes, I'm able to change you both back I have plenty power to do more after that."
"Of course you do. You would never let the Nightsister Clan go unguarded without your magiks." Obi-wan commented and took a deep breath. "So when will you change us back?"
"I believe that's not the question you want to ask right now Kenobi. You want to know why Maul left with Tano in replace of you."
"The Jedi are my problem and the Sith are Maul's. That's why he left. Sidious has a new apprentice and Maul wants to put an end to it."
"You have your answer so why come to me?"
"Because I need to go to Corusant to help and I know I can't leave Dathomir without you're permission. You disabled all ships on the planet. What is wrong Mother?"
"With the choice Maul has chosen he has forsaken himself."
"Forsaken himself? What do you mean?"
"I have seen many things since my magiks were fully restored. My son's need for revenge will cost the lives of many."
"You mean Maul will kill people?"
"Not by his own hands, but he has sealed everyone's fate. Your death. Savage's death. And my death as well."
"Our death?! But how?"
"He will fail in killing Sidious and we all will fall to the empire."
"The empire? Mother what do you mean?!"
"When the time is right Kenobi be prepared to leave everything and everyone behind."
"I can't leave Maul we just started to get use to all of this again. He'll-"
"Think you're dead." Mother Talzin finished his sentence "It pains me to see the future before it happens and my own death. There was a time when I only wanted the happiness and survival of my children and now I know one of them is the sealer of my fate. I do not judge him though and neither should you Kenobi."
"I need to go to Corusant Mother. Please. The future changes all the time with everyone's decisions. Not just Maul's."
"I'm sorry Kenobi, but I can not permit it. Although if you are ready, I will switch your bodies back."
"No. Not yet, Maul might be trying to prove something to me."
"So you want to go to him instead of switching places and he may be in danger."
"I would rather fight beside him than pull him from a fight. I know Maul's anger it's like a fire and it's not something you want to throw a blanket on. Even if you may be trying to smother it, but you just fuel the fire to burn hotter and more deadly."
"Wise words Kenobi." Mother Talzin nodded she looked into her crystal ball for a moment than looked back at her son's mate.
"You may go Kenobi, but you must take Savage with you. I will not allow you to go alone."
"Yes Talzin. Thank you." Obi-wan said and turning to leave.
"Kenobi!" Mother Talzin calls out and he turns back around to the old witch.
"Take this with you. You will need it when you get to the temple." Mother Talzin creates a potion in a small vial. Obi-wan picks it us and quickly catches on to what the potion was.
"Mother, I can't." Obi-wan rejects the potion placing it back down.
"You must Kenobi, it pains me to see my son heartbroken, but it is important to everyone's future." Mother Talzin walks over to him and places the vial back in his hands.
"You will understand when you get to the Temple. Now go, Kenobi." Mother Talzin says and once he leaves the room, she sighs putting her head down and stares into her crystal ball sadly.
"My son, please forgive me." She says softly and sits down in her seat.
