"Master Kenobi now is not the time to hide from me," I said removing my helmet, "I'm a Jedi like you, I was Jungjoya's Padawan." I explained, noticing a shimmer as I approached. "How did you survive?" he asked, "You and Master Jungjoya were in the temple during the attack," he said, "I knew a few Jedi made it out but I did not think Jungjoya was one of them." he told me. "He didn't, I escaped in his starfighter," I told him sitting back down. "I went through some sort of slip in space, ended up far away, I'm not even sure if I'm truly here master," I said, "There's a barrier not too far from your bed, I-I," I stumbled feeling sluggish, "I'm not sure I'll be staying here for long master." I said when I felt the headache come on before it suddenly disappeared. "Are you okay Sasha?" Obi-Wan asked me, "I can feel something but I can't tell what it is." he told me as I fell onto my side. "I-I don't know master," I quietly said my eyes closed as I fell asleep, jolting once more I was in a court now, a gold and black alicorn looked down upon me, a looped cross as her cutie mark. "I am Ankh, goddess of Equestria," she told me, "all alicorns are blessed with only a mere drop of my power; sadly that power can only be used in their realm, as my own can only be used in my realm," she continued, "I wish I could do more for my ponies, so I choose you as you have defeated evil before, and are a great warrior from whence you come," she said to me, "I wish for you to be my champion until this evil, this Sith, in my people's homeland is defeated," she commanded as I stiffened at the mention of Sith, "I will bless your armor so you may purge this vile evil and its army when it rears its head from the shadows," I gave her a nod. She smiled, "Then I return your soul to your body, and I hope next time you are summoned your soul does not wander to other places and I will attempt to shield your mind." she said her horn glowing and sending me back to my bed. I jolted awake, looking around my room breathing hard as I stood up, noticing the sweat soaking my robes, before catching another wetness, "Well, that's unfortunate." I mumbled collecting my sheets and taking them downstairs putting them in the washer, before running back up and taking a shower, quickly changing before looking at my armor stand in the closet, the original silver of the armor replaced with a slick black, and the same looped cross marked on the left mandible of my helmet. "Hey Sasha, did you-" mom said walking into my room, "did you wet your bed?" she nervously asked. "Yeah, stressful night, I guess," I told her closing the closet, "Had some weird dreams, not sure how to feel about them," I said fixing my belt and attaching my saber to it, "well I need to speak with Cavern about what she said last night." I told mom walking back downstairs and seeing Cavern in the kitchen cooking before she came to me and led me to the table. "I wished for you to be well-fed," she told me pulling out a chair for me and sitting me down, "now eat," she said placing a plate of pancakes in front of me, "or did you wish to speak with me?" she asked "Yeah, I did, actually," I said looking at her as she lifted a fork with some of the cake on it and fed it to me, "what did you mean by- oh this good-" I said swallowing, "-anyways, what did you mean by my illness is of the mind?" I asked accepting another bite when she offered. "Oh, your mind has been infected by another's mind," she said igniting her horn and scanning, "and there is another presence there now," she continued offering me more food, "this one acts differently perhaps protection instead of invasion?" she quietly questioned to herself. "Why are you feeding me?" I asked still taking the bite. "We are friends, you feed me so I feed you, is this not normal?" she asked, I simply shook my head, "I see I've made a social mistake," she said, "I shall endeavor to correct this in the future, but as we are already here, finish feeding." she commanded holding up another forkful, rolling my eyes I took another bite. "What, what in Tartarus is this?" mom asked moving her wing between us, I simply shrugged my shoulders getting a shake, "I'll make your bed sweetie, be down in a bit and the three of us will go out for a walk or something." she sighed out heading upstairs.
