Staring back at a mysterious woman I can only guess is the witch Retra told Teya about while I was still conscious, I process the words she just said. She was never a real Sith Inquisitor!

"Why didn't you tell me then?" I ask.

"You weren't conscious long enough after I rescued you and before that, I couldn't tell anyone.

I nod, realizing the situation's truth," I'm sorry Retra about your hands. I would never have done that to you if I had known."

"Then I would never have realized that you are the man with whom I'm fated to share true love," Retra smiles.

I find myself at a loss for words. Did she say true love? What is this a kid's story? Does such a thing even exist? " ... You can't be serious," I reply.

"Of anything I have never been more certain," Retra replies.

The Witch steps forward," He shall first take your hands and in time your heart will follow". The woman smiles knowingly.

"Prophesy is famous for being misleading," I add.

"That may be but I saw you as you are now young man," the old witch points at me.

I look in a bowl of water noticing my features have changed from how I looked before. I could be considered a little more than above average and even handsome by some before. Now I was looking at a face that looks like an artist made it. Nearly flawless features and a look at my body reveal I now have abs that show.

"What the heck!" I say doubting my own eyes.

The old Witch chuckles," Did you never wonder why all Jedi are rather attractive for their race? They may not be the most attractive people out there but they are all good-looking. Few without the gift of the Force are born with such gifts. You can thank the Midi-chlorians for that. Why this is the case I am uncertain but it happens to often to be chance."

I think back on everyone that I'd seen at the order and remember that they all were far above average in looks except maybe Yoda but he was a very different species and also ancient," I see".

"Are you going to tell Teya?" Retra asks nervously.

"Yes, I cannot keep such a secret from her, and the longer I do the more likely it will ruin our relationship. I'd rather wait till we are on our ship away from lots of people," I state.

"About that Roan, we are being pursued by a Sith lord. The only reason he's not down here is because he's afraid of our Mother. We will need a good plan to get away a second time," Retra explains.

I nod," Then let's see what I have gained".

I have always wanted to be able to do a certain thing with one of my steel bearings. So I pull it out and levitate it right in front of me. Focusing on it and vibrating the molecules and crystalline structure of the steel itself. The steel ball turns red hot before turning a melting butter color. I had tried this before in my previous state only to be unable to get it so hot and passed out afterward.

Now I was not only able to do this but didn't even feel drained at all," Interesting".

I gather oxygen around the nearly molten metal causing a ball of fire to erupt around the sphere. I realize I can maintain such a flame as long as I use the Force to feed it oxygen and/or another flammable gas. I can also quite easily melt the steel into a molten state as well.

Next, I focus on pulling water out of the air creating a ball of floating water above my hand. My control and knowledge allow me to overcome what would take others decades to discover on their own. Now I can do what water farmers do on Tatooine with my powers. Guaranteeing me that as long as I'm on a planet with an atmosphere I will never die of thirst. That's a reason this technique has always been on my list to create.

With a ball of water floating above my hand I focus on pulling the heat out of it resulting in the ball suddenly freezing into an ice cube. Not high on my list of abilities to test as I can always find projectiles to through but useful in many applications.

Now that I know I can heat things up and cook them down I decide to test a third option, Electricity! Focusing on my skin's connection to the atmosphere and generating friction I channel the electrical energy around me. The whole time I have to also make sure the electrons pass over my skin and not on or through it. Lastly, I oscillate the frequency causing a big bolt of energy to shoot from my chosen hand striking the sand on the ground and melting it.

Unlike the ability before this one severely drains me. The energy required is immense and my power may have been boosted but my Midi-chlorian count is still below average.

Retra catches me in her arms," You alright".

"I'll be fine but that one takes a lot out of me," I reply.

"You done playing?" She jokes.

"Not quite yet," I answer.

I pick up a bunch of sand using the force and the glass ball that was created previously. Spinning the sand around the ball with my power I wear the glass sphere back down into sand again. This time I melt some sand and form a globe with the techniques I created previously and make the molten glass take shapes. After turning it into a dagger I temper the glass letting it cool slowly. I hold my new creation in my hand knowing now I may have the potential to be the greatest smith alive.

Filling a satchel with sand I turn to Retra," Tell Teya we need to fill the ship's hanger with a lot of mud. The type doesn't matter because we're gonna be releasing it into space.

"Sure, and congratulations on being able to do a lot more now," Retra remarks getting ready to walk out of the tent.

I have always believed that with enough imagination, knowledge, and raw ability anything is possible. So I say," The possibilities are endless".
