Luke's Final Gift

   Rey was proud of her son. He had grown strong and was mature for his 10 years. She and Finn had taught him everything they knew. Rey  had returned to Ahch-To to retrieve Luke's green lightsaber (and the rest of his personal effects) from the Lanais, so she used the blue and green sabers to teach her son to spar. This also helped to increase her own skill, and Finn also participated. Rey taught him everything she had learned from the ancient Jedi texts, and everything she had drawn from Kylo's mind as well. She only hoped it would be enough.
   Surprisingly, it had been 10 years of peace. Despite Kylo's threat to destroy Revan, it seemed that the First Order had more or less left them alone. Or perhaps they were just rebuilding their fleet that was destroyed by Holdo. She didn't know. Leia had passed away a few years after Revan was born. A heart attack had taken her. The Resistance and the galaxy at large still felt her loss.
   The years of peace had been good to the Skywalker family. There had been three new additions - the 8-year old fraternal twins, Korba and Kosli - with their mocha skin, brown eyes and curly, reddish hair. They also showed Force-sensitivity and were trained right alongside their big brother. Then came the youngest at 5 years old, little Han, who, if he was Force-sensitive, didn't show it. He was a happy-go-lucky little guy who brought sunshine wherever he went.
   

   "Hey mom, can I ask you a question?" Revan asked Rey.
"Of course, sweetheart," she replied.
"How come I don't look like my brothers and sister?"
Rey knew this day would come when she would have to tell Revan the truth. "Well, honey, they look more like Finn because he's their birth father. Although he's been your father your whole life, he's not your birth father. He adopted you."
   Revan was silent for a few moments to let that sink in. "Thennnn.....who IS my birth father?"
"Your birth father was a great Jedi Master named Luke Skywalker. He died before you were born. He gave his life to save the Resistance from the First Order."
"Luke Skywalker? I know him."
"You know him? What do you mean?"
"He visits me all the time. He told me his name. He teaches me lots of things about the Force that you haven't."
"You've seen his Force ghost? How long as this been going on?"
He shrugged. "As long as I can remember. And he's not the only one. I've seen lots of Force ghosts. They all teach me stuff."
"Other ghosts? Who?"
"Uhhhh, let's see....Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin, Qui-Gon, and this other guy who says he's the real Revan...he teaches me stuff, too..."
Rey looked a little shocked. She had never heard of any of these people and she could only pray that they were Light-side and were not leading her son astray. She had removed the Force-cocoon from her son several years ago, but now she was worried about whom he may have come in contact with.
"Oh yeah, and there's another guy who comes to visit me, but he's not a Force ghost."
Rey went pale. "What does he look like?" She asked apprehensively.
"He's kind of tall and skinny, has long black hair, dresses all in black..."
OH NO!! She began to panic. Her worst fears were coming true.
"Honey, that's your cousin, Kylo Ren. He is Dark Side. Don't listen to anything he says. What does he tell you?"
"He doesn't really say anything. He just watches me. Then he disappears. Are you sure he's bad? Because I think he kind of likes me."
"What makes you say that?"
"Sometimes he smiles. He keeps me from getting hurt. He helps me find things."
"But he doesn't do anything to you?"
"No."
"When you were born, he said he was going to hurt you, because he hates your birth father."
Revan looked shocked at first. "Well...maybe he was just mad then. Maybe he's not now."
Rey was wondering why he was appearing to Revan, but not to her. Did he only have a Force-bond with her son now? She hadn't seen him in years.
"Honey, the next time he appears to you, I want you to be VERY careful. I can only hope I'm around when it happens."
"Don't worry, mom...I won't let him hurt me."
