Nothing.
I can do nothing. my heart is pumping faster, due to the loss of blood. But my breath is shallow, holding nothing but despaire.
These are my final moments of life.
I feel the presence of my apprentice and watch as he angrily attacks the sith.
Moments tick by.
Then a flash of light blinds me and I look into the blue eyes of a young jedi boy.
The boy is obi-Wan.
I watch as he runs as fast as his small legs can carry him though the gardens.
Then I realise, he just ran as hard as possible a few moments ago. But for a different reason.
To save my life.
But his legs couldnt move as fast as he need.
"It's too late."
I hear the words escape my mouth, but I dont remember saying them.
I see his eyes full of tears. Then I look around me.
i realize we are at a grave site.
The grave of Tahl.
My mind is remembering all that has come to pass.
I smile to myself, tho my face cannot show it.
I wipe the lone tear away.
Look one last time into my apprentice's eyes. Knowing I cannot be there when he is knighted. And I see the time I was telling him about knighthood. It was a dream of the future. But now, they are stuck in the past
My mind is clouded by those dreams of the past
And I do the last thing I will ever do....I die.
