So while working on Windcaster, I wanted something that I could write in the meantime, when I get stuck on that. I was listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack on Thursday and got this idea. It's a little song-fic to the lyrics of the plagues from Obi-Wan and Anakin's perspective. I only picked certain lyrics, enjoy!
Once I called you brother
I loved you more than anything. You were my brother. I would have done anything to protect you Anakin. Now I stand here with your wife, watching your children be brought into this war-torn galaxy, knowing that they will never know their father because of me. A small voice inside me keeps trying to whisper in my ear, that it wasn't you I killed. It was Vader. An agent of Sidious. But when I looked into your eyes... it was the eyes of my brother. The child I had practically raised, was dead.
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh, was all I ever wanted
I wish so desperately, things could go back to a simpler time. I still remember the first time you saw a rainstorm. A real rainstorm, the kind where rain pours for hours, and the soft pitter-patter is like a lullaby. I remember you saying that it was your new favorite thing. You played and played until I finally had to drag you back inside for dinner. I loved seeing the smile on your face Anakin, how I yearn to see it again.
And even now I wish God had chose another, serving as your foe as his behalf is the last thing that I wanted
When Master Yoda told me to go after you. I begged him to send me to Sidious. I knew if I went after him, it would be a quick and painless death, but he sent me after you. My heart was torn apart, after all the injury, peril, and near-death experiences that I added to my journey as a Jedi never hurt as much as this. Because I knew when I woke up from the injury, the first thing I would seeā¦ was you. Those big blue eyes, concerned as I shook sleep, and pain medication away, I knew you would always be there. Now you aren't. You aren't there as I tell your wife what has become of you, my brother. You aren't there as I sneak onto her ship to come after you. And you aren't here as I hold your children close, feeling Padme's soul drift off into the force. I just want to fall apart, but you aren't here to pull me back together again.
You who I called brother
Obi-Wan. I loved you so much. How could you betray me? The order? The Republic? Everything we fought together for so many years goes out the window. As I lay here in agony, rage fills my very soul, as I know it you who did this to me.
How could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted?
You turned Padme against me. My wife. My angel. My everything. How could you have come to hate me so much, that you must take away the thing I love most in life. All of those years, it's been just you and me. Through the playful banter, through the injury, through the war, through everything, you were always at my side. What could have possibly happened to make you come to kill me, and now leave me to suffer in agony? I hope you know what you've done.
Then let my heart be hardened
Know this Obi-Wan. I will never forgive you. Anything that we had, is no more. You severed our bond as a brother, the moment you turned Padme against me and walked out of that ship to kill me. When I find you again, I promise you, it will be the last time we see each other.
I hope you liked this! Thank you for reading! Make sure to leave a review!
