As the water pulled back, it left froth and seaweed and millions of microorganisms behind to dry and die in the sun.<br />"Master, do you believe this is where we came from?" <br />The sun began to melt into the sea.<br /><br />There was so much I hadn't told him. After I had dealt with the other guards in the Citadel I had returned to the Chamber of Power. The work of destroying all of the machinery Alric had brought with him to awaken the Chamber took only minutes.<br />When I reached Anakin, he was up to his neck in water and not very happy.<br /><br />He asked me what had happened and I informed him that Alric and I had fought and that I had killed the Korps Kommandant. I did not explain that the machinery had worked and given him Force powers unrivaled by any Jedi I have ever encountered.<br /><br />We had been preparing for our departure all afternoon. The porters were most pleased to be leaving.<br /><br />Now I too looked over the waves and the algae, rich in Midi-Chlorians, that had given Alric, and perhaps all Jedi, a special connection to the Force.<br />Were we indeed nothing more than byproducts of an ancient science project?<br /><br />"My young friend, it does not matter where we came from. What is important is that we are."<br /><br />Anakin lifted his pack to his shoulders, and we set out.
