Distortion
"Lost..." Maul looks around trying to see something. Anything out there in the distance. Sand. That was all he could see. He could be on any planet in the entire galaxy. He turned around thinking he saw someone walk behind him.
He could only see sand. There was no one. Only him. He looks up to the sun and covers his eyes from the brightness, to see twin suns. He still had no idea where he was. There were thousands of desert planets with twin suns.
"I am lost!" He announced to the empty space. He knew then where he was. Tattooine.
There! Turn around! His mind screamed at him and he quickly turned around again to only see sand. His skin felt like it was boiling under the hot suns.
"I can see him..." Maul says as he takes more steps through the desert.
"I can feel his presence... so close." Maul growls to himself.
"I can see him... in my mind's eye..." Maul's voice turns sad as he walks exhausted from the heat.
"Kenobi..." Maul's voice edges and sharpens as he sees canyon-like walls jut out from the desert miles away.
"KENOBIIIIIIII!!" He screamed falling to his knees in the sand.
So close! His mind screams at him as he stays kneeling in the scorching sand. Yet so far! Just a little bit farther! Get up! He's just ahead!
Maul takes deep breaths as he regathers himself. He looks to his right hand to see his cane still attached to his lightsaber. But he stopped connecting them when he first began the search for Obi-wan. Began his search? No. He knew where Obi-wan was all along right? Yes, after connecting the holocrons together, he went right to Feral and they had looked for the scroll that would help merge his and Ezra's mind together, then he found out that Obi-wan was on Tattooine. Right?
That is what happened... is it? I remember two different things.
Maul dug through his memory. Yes, it had to be true! It had to be! Yet then why does he remember embarking out alone to look for Obi-wan? Why does he feel like... he's the last one? Why doesn't he remember Feral?! He searches through his memory. He can't even remember what his brother's face looks like!
Brother? No. Savage was his only brother. It's impossible for him to have another brother. His mother would have told him if he had another brother!
He dug further into his memories. Obi-wan. His sweet sweet Jedi. His mate. The one he would die for.
No. His rival. His enemy. The one who stole everything from him! The one who left him to die. To bleed out. The coward who hid from the Order! The one who makes his blood boil hotter than any sun. The weak Jedi who deserved to die.
What? No! Obi-wan can never die! I would be what I was! I can't handle that again!
Maul stared at his bare wrist. Barren of the scars that had littered them with his past attempts to join the Force. His wrists were clean! No! He distinctly remembers digging whatever sharp thing he could into them!
Does he?
Yes!
Satine was there always to cut his nails to make sure he couldn't scratch his wrists away.
No. That couldn't be. He remembers stabbing her through in front of Obi-wan on Mandalore. He became the ruler of Mandalore!
No! That can't be! He is the General of the Mandalorian Army second highest in control on the entire planet! He would never kill Satine! She helped him!
No! She stole Obi-wan from him! She made Obi-wan fall in love with her! She had to die! His revenge on Obi-wan would be complete.
No! No! No! No! None of that can be right! It all goes against each other! Nothing adds up correctly! Everything is different!
"Will it end here?" Maul begged to know to the wind. "Like this?" Maul had no clue what his past was. No clue of what he'll do when he finds Obi-wan. Would it be the Obi-wan from one memory or from another or from an absolutely different one? He didn't know.
"No." He growled determined to get through this. He will find out which is truly the reality that he truly traveled down and which one was the liar.
"No!" He stood up and kept walking toward the canyon-like walls. He would find Obi-wan and he would be determined to figure out the truth.
