Mission to Mortis/Legends

The Mission to Mortis occurred during the Clone Wars in 21 BBY.

Discovering Mortis
"I can't even lock down where in the galaxy we are or if we're even in our own galaxy."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi, on landing on Mortis.

After intercepting a 2000 year old distress message, the Jedi High Council sent Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano to investigate. Fearing a Separatist trap, the three Jedi were to to meet with clone captain CC-7567 nicknamed Rex in a heavily armed Venator-class Star Destroyer. But when the Jedi's Eta-class shuttle and the cruiser met at the rendezvous point, they couldn't see each other. The shuttle was then suddenly pulled into a monolith, causing the Jedi to black out.

When the Jedi woke up, they found themselves on a strange planet which was strong in the Force. A woman named Daughter met them and continuously asked if Skywalker was the Chosen One. When the Daughter attempted to take them to his father, a rockslide separated them. Anakin decided to follow the Daughter while Kenobi and Ahsoka headed back to the ship. But when they reached the spot where the ship was, they saw it was was gone. Night was descending upon the planet and the Jedi noticed that all the plants were dying. They then met a humanoid named Son. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan ignited their lightsaber but the Son simply deactivated using the Force, forcing Kenobi to believe that he was Sith to which the Son replied that he was and was not Sith. He then told them of something about to occur. He then warned them about Mortis's storms and then he transformed into a gargoyle and flew away. The storms caused Obi Wan and Ahsoka to seek refuge in a cave.

Meanwhile, Anakin snuck into a monastery and met with a man named Father. The Father offered Anakin a room in the monastery for the night.

Meeting the Past and Future
Meanwhile, back in the cave, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were fast asleep but Obi-Wan awoke to find a spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan's deceased master, who asked Kenobi if he had trained Anakin as he had asked. At first Obi-Wan reacted in shock by igniting his lightsaber. But he later on relaxed. Jinn then explained that the inhabitants of Mortis, like him, believed Anakin to be the Chosen One.

In the monastery, the Son visited Anakin disguised as his deceased mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars. After Anakin confessed his sins which included killing so many to avenge her death and his forbidden marriage to Padme Amidala, Shmi told him Padme did not represent his true destiny. She then disappeared but not before briefly showing Son's gargoyle form.

in the cave, Ahsoka was fast asleep until she was woken by a vocie which asked her if she was happy. When Ahsoka got up, a vision of her future self appeared behind the fire. The vision warned her that Anakin was planting the seeds of the dark side in her mind and warned her to leave Mortis in order to reach her potential. She then disappeared in a storm of fire.

The Test
"The Chosen One is a myth.''" "''Is it? I should very much like to know. Why don't we find out together? Pass one test and I shall know the truth and you and your friends may leave."

- Anakin Skywalker and Father.

In the monastery, Anakin approached the Father with his lightsaber drawn. Anakin accused him of being a Sith Lord because of his powers. After shutting off his lightsaber with a touch, the Father explained the special Force Powers that he, Son and Daughter possessed. He explained that they were anchorites. They had become so strong with the Force that they were forced to retreat to Mortis so they can keep their Force powers in balance. He had to maintain a balance between the Daughter, who was aligned with the light side of the Force, and the Son, who was drifting closer to the dark side of the Force. He called Anakin here, believing he was the Chosen One. He decided to set up a test for Anakin to see if he was the Chosen One. Father promised that if Anakin passed, he and his friends would be allowed to leave. Father then had Son and Daughter (in their animal forms) capture Ahsoka and Obi-Wan the next morning and bring them to the monastery. Anakin and Father were waiting for them in the courtyard of the monastery.The Daughter holding Kenobi landed on one side while the Son, holding Ahsoka landed on the other. The test was to see which one Anakin would save as it was impossible to save both. At first, Anakin refused but Father denied it, saying only Anakin can tame his children. Using the Force of the planet, Anakin lifted the Daughter and Son off the ground and forced them to release the Jedi. He then brought them to their knees while simultaneously changing them back to their humanoid forms. During the test, the time of day changed from day to night and then back to day. The Father then was convinced that Anakin was the Chosen One and revealed his true reason to why he wanted to know: The aging Father was dying and he wanted Anakin to replace him to maintain the balance between light and dark.
