The twilight painted the skies of Coruscant with golden and orange hues, reflecting off the silver towers and mirrored glass of the skyscrapers. The streets were still bustling, speeders slicing through the air, while the citizens of the Republic carried on with their routines. However, for two Jedi running through the walkways of the Senate Plaza, that evening marked a decisive moment in the history of the galaxy.
Anakin Skywalker and Will Kriss moved with urgency. Anakin, now with his mind cleared by the conversation he had with Will moments earlier, felt the weight of his actions and the manipulations Chancellor Palpatine had exerted over him. Will, dressed in Jedi robes with green tones and details inspired by the ancient warriors of the Old and High Republic, remained focused. His lightsaber, a family relic that had once belonged to the legendary Jedi Master Avar Kriss of the High Republic, swayed slightly at his belt as he ran, his agile body keeping pace with Skywalker.
"We have to be quick," Anakin said, his voice filled with determination. "If we wait too long, it might be too late."
Will nodded. He knew that Masters Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin were already in the Chancellor’s office, confronting him. They had left shortly before, determined to stop the Sith threat that had been rising in the shadows for years. Now, it was crucial they arrived in time to help them before something irreversible happened.
