30 years had passed. Aria was now 97 years old. Obi Wan had died 2 years ago. Once again the two friends had been called to fight despite their age. The galaxy needed the two of them to fight against a madman that had been trying to destroy the galaxy once more. Obi did not want to go. He didn't want to fight since they were to old. But Aria, being as stubborn as she was, convinced him to fight along side her once more. However she could not save Obi. He was killed right infront of her and there was nothing she could do. It would haunt her till the day she died. She would always blame herself. The two were best friends. They were like siblings. They were always there for eachother. Aria remembered that day clearly. She tried to convince Obi not to die. That she could help him. They had promised to do everything together, Even dying.

Alexander had died almost 27 years ago. Omega was back. Alexander went off to face him. Aria wanted to go with her little cousin but he wouldn't let her. He had died in the fight. Alex had won but it costed him his life. Aria's only living relative was dead. This devastated her and brought her to the brink of going to the darkside. Luckily Zey was able to help her come back.

Zey....she was another one who had died. Aria's final padawan. her second most loyal padawan. There had been an attack on the enclave. Zey died defending Aria.

Wrath had disappeared. No one was sure where he had gone. Aria just figured he was some where in the galaxy waiting for the opportune moment to come. She didn't know what  or when it was but it didn't matter. She knew he would be back.

Then there were those that were already dead. Elijah, Vengence, her mother and father, Fyero, Neko, Selene. She had lost everyone close to her. Aria had always wondered why she was made to suffer. She never fully understood it. Now it was her turn. Her turn to die. Her turn to follow her friends and family. Never to return. Aria had lived a long life. now here she lay on her death bed. Inches from death. She was surrounded by fellow jedi and her nephew, Fate.

"Aunt Aria don't go. Your the only family I have." Fate cried

"It's my time Fate. We all must go sometime. My time is now. There is no stopping it." Aria said solumly

"But you can live longer."

"I know but the thing is I don't want to. My life has been filled with pain. Death is my only relief now. I gladly welcome it."

"Master Aria who is to take over the Enclave?" One of the Jedi asked

"I think....I think I will leave it to Fate. He is more then capable of taking care of things here."

"Master are you sure about that?"

"I wouldn't have chosen him if I didn't think he could handle it. Fate is strong, brave and smart. He's just like his father. I believe in him. You should too."

"Thank you Aunt Aria. I promise I won't let you down." Fate smiled with a tear rolling down his face

"It's time.....Take care of them Fate....They are in your hands now."

Fate clasped her hand in his. He didn't look away till she stopped breathing and became one with the force. Everyone in the room was silent. fate mouthed the words May The Force Be With You and wiped a tear from his face. His last relative was gone.

Aria would find relief from her suffering in the next life. Her life wasn't easy and she had always wanted to die because of it. But she never could. There was always someone that needed her but now since life was peaceful she could leave with out fear or regret. So ends the tale of Aria Mylin. Jedi Master, friend, sister and cousin.

Aria stayed with Obi Wan for a little bit longer. Obi Wan insisted that he was fine but Aria knew better.

Obi Wan: Aria honestly I'll be alright. You have to head back to the enclive anyway.

Aria: i think it can last a few more hours without me. Plus your not alright. Obi Wan I know you too well.

Obi Wan: Ari I don't want to disscus this right now.

Aria: Then you listen and I'll talk. *Aria motioned for Obi Wan to sit. Aria sat next to him.* Look Hotaru's death wasn't your fault. It was no ones fault. like you said she foresaw it. she knew it was coming. Nothing could of prevented it. i know your thinking Siri ruined your relationship but she didn't. Hotaru died doing what she loved. She was always helping people. She wouldn't want you to greave like this. She will always be alive inside all of us. She will always be with you Obi Wan. We just have to keep her memory alive.

Obi Wan: I guess your right Ari. I 'm lucky to have a friend like you.

Aria: Hotaru was lucky to have you for a husband. Your always to quick to blame yourself. You have to relax. Go get some rest. Your not looking so well.

Obi Wan: Your really know me to well Aria.

Aria: I would hope so. We've known eachother for 59 years. Just stop being so hard on yourself.

Obi Wan: I'll try.

The two friends hugged.

Aria: Take care of yourself Obi Wan. Again I'm sorry for your loss. You know how to get in contact with me if you need anything. I'm always here for you.

Obi Wan: Thank you Ari. May the force be with you.

Aria: May the force be with you too my old friend.

The two smiled at eachother and went their separate ways.

Aria was extracting the droids memory core. She had to be careful. It was programmed to self destruct. her com rang. Aria was startled by it and jumped. The memory core exploded sending Aria flying toward the back wall. She slammed against it and slide down.

"Damn..." Aria said through clenched teeth. She took out her com to answer it, "What is it?"

"Ari It's....It's Obi Wan..." Obi Wan said his voice cracking

"Obi what's wrong?"

"It's Hotaru"

"Is she alright?"

"She...she's d-dead..."

"Obi I...I'm so sorry. Where is her funeral?"

"On earth at Crystal Tokyo."

"You can count on me to be there. I'll see you soon Kenobi. May the force be with you my friend."

"May the force be with you too."

Aria hung up and sat down. Hotaru was gone. Aria couldn't believe it. They had grown up with Hotaru. She would train with them whenever she could. Aria asked one of the knights o keep an eye on things while she was gone. She stopped by the medical room on her way out. Zey was up.

"Zey?" Aria said out of shock

"Master what are you doing here?" Zey  asked confused

"I was put in charge of the Enclive on dantooine which is where you are now. I brought you here to make sure you recovered. Look I have to leave for a few days. I would prefer if you stayed here and recovered."

"Where are you going?"

"Earth...I'm afraid Hotaru has died."

"What? Master please let me come. I've known Hotaru for a while too."

"Your right. You can come but under on condition. You have to take care f yourself."

"I promise."

"Alright lets go."

The two Jedi went to a ship and headed for earth.

Aria went to the medical room. She went to Zey's side. She was still out cold. Aria sighed heavily. She was hoping that this problem would be solved soon. One of the medical droids came over to her.

Droid: Is there anything I can help you with Master Mylin?

Aria: No thank you M-3. I was just checking on how she was doing.

Droid: She is healthy but we can't figure out why she won't wake up.

Aria: Someone was trying to take over the force awhile ago but that has long since stopped. I'm starting to think it's more then that. Something isn't right. Keep me updated on Zey's condition.

Droid: yes master Mylin

Aria left the Medical center and headed to the front of the enclive. As she did she sensed a presence behind her. Aria put her hand on her lightaber. Aria stopped and whipped around turning on her lightsaber. She deflected blaster bolts. Once the bolts stopped she saw an assassin droid standing there. Aria kept her lightsaber up.

Aria: Who sent you here?

Droid: Statement- Oh I can not reveal that information Jedi. It is against my programming.

Aria used disable. The droid deactivated.

Aria: If you won't tell me then I'll go into your programming.

Aria landed back on Dantooine a few hours later. It was night. It upset Aria to see Alexander in such terrible condition. But one thing kept running through her mind. It confused her to no end. One minute she was talking to Alexander, the next there was a little boy infront of her, then all of a sudden she was holding Alexander. He had looked hypnotized. She decided not to think about it for the moment. She stretched and yawned. Aria went to bed.

                                                                               ***

Aria woke up the next morning feeling better then usual. She shrugged it off and got out of bed. She looked in the mirror and jumped back with a gasp. She wasn't sure if it was her reflection she wa looking at. She looked younger. Like she was 16 again. She didn't understand it. Aria lifted up her hand and brushed her face. Her hair was darker too.

Aria: How did....what....I don't....I look young again.....but.........

Aria was confused. She decided to shrug it off. Aria took the pendent off of her neck and wrapped it around her wrist. She then left to go train the younglings.
