Omega laughed. “I thought Jedi weren’t supposed to lie. You’ve got one foot on the dark path, Anakin. Are you sure you are meant to be a Jedi?”

“It’s all I’ve ever wanted,” Anakin said. The words came out without him wanting them to. They were in his head, as they always were.

“Yes, you were a special case,” Omega said. “I’ve heard the story.

Chosen as a young boy. You were a slave, so of course you dreamed of a better life, a life you thought of as free. Welcome to reality, Anakin.

Are you free?” Omega snorted. “If I held on to my dreams as a young boy, I’d be repairing starships for a living. I used to think that was exciting. How can you be so sure that your dream was the right one?”

“The dream is real because I am living it,” Anakin said.

“The dream,” Omega said softly, “was for opportunity and freedom and adventure. That is not the same thing. You began as a slave. Of course you dreamed of freedom. But you are not a boy now. You must know that the only thing that buys freedom in this life is wealth. I have it.

I can give you more freedom than the Jedi can.”

Anakin shook his head. “I don’t want your brand of freedom.”

“Why not? I can do anything I want. Let me tell you, power is a good thing to have. It’s even fun. You could do anything you want. With my help, you could raise an army. You could return to the miserable planet of your birth and free your mother. Isn’t that your deepest wish?
