I Am No Jedi: Ahsoka x Reader

Chapter 41

I'M BACK GUYS, SO SORRY FOR THE 6 MONTH HIATUS LMAOOO I'LL TRY POSTING MORE REGULARLY, BUT LIFE IS VERY SUCKY FOR ME RIGHT NOW AND TIME IS PRACTICALLY NON EXISTENT. BUT THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY :)

There were few moments when there was complete silence. Constantly the sound of conflict rang through the air. The ground seemed to always quake, both from the battles ceaselessly fought and from the pure energy radiating through the Spike.

y/n closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the cold steel wall. Shutting out his senses and letting in the Force was the only way he could have some time for himself.

He was in a small, but beautifully decorated room with a window that offered a panoramic view of the landscape. There wasn't much to see, even if he had his eyes open. Oceans of bubbling lava stretched out to the horizon, and tall towers rose into the sky from the molten rock. In the distance, rocky mountainous landmasses, a collection of volcanos and stone, breached from the red magma.

Such was the harsh climate and terrain of Shu-Torun.

Opening his eyes again, he shifted slightly, changing to a cross-legged position. Absent mindedly, y/n began to gaze at the decorations of the room. Hand crafted mosaics and frescos, colourfully painted and assembled so that they appeared lifelike, made up the walls. The furniture that accompanied was made of the most precious, exotic materials and crafted to the utmost luxury possible. Above him hung a chandelier studded with crystals that refracted the red light from the lava outside.

Sho-Torun was resource rich, hiding pockets of ores and precious materials deep within its core. Much of the planet was filled with oceans of lava, volcanos and underground caverns. It had allied with the Republic during the Clone Wars, but now the Separatists were making an attack in an effort to claim possession of it. Being able to control Sho-Torun's profitable mining economy and directing where the much-needed resources went would be a huge benefit for the Separatists.

That was why y/n was there in the palace. Once again, Aayla and Anakin's battalions were working together, fighting to keep the droid armies from overtaking the planet. In particular, the Jedi were keeping the royal family of Shu-Torun safe after an intercepted message was found to order the assassination of the king.

Unable to stay still, he jumped to his feet and made his way to the huge stained-glass window, his boots making clipping sounds on the polished wooden floor. In the distance, the biggest spire rose into the air, its silhouette blurred and hazy from the magma's heat.

It was the Spike, sharing the name of the prison on Serenno to which he had undertaken a mission. It rose from the lava, growing thinner as it stretched further into the red sky and topped with a decorated turret. Even from such a distance, it seemed massive. y/n could sense the pure energy it drew in, and the powerful electricity it generated.

The mere fact that the Spike reminded him of rescuing Master Uten immediately brought Ahsoka back into his mind. y/n cursed loudly and scratched his scar.

Two months. That was how long it had been since Onderon, and how long it had been since the two had spoken outside of training with each other. He wasn't sure how to feel. Lux and the rebels weren't his worries anymore, but it felt like one problem led to another. The Togruta was ignoring him, not talking unless she absolutely had to.

But amongst the tangle of his misery, hopelessness and bitterness, there was another layer. y/n knew it was unreasonable but the resentment he had previously felt for the Onderonian senator now extended to Ahsoka herself. He was more than annoyed at her for pushing him away, for obviously liking someone else, and simply for not returning his feelings. The hurt had turned from defensive to offensive, and he felt like taking action, making her feel the pain he had felt.
