were_lemurStar Wars: Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano, all ages, not mine. Ahsoka never imagined the Clone Wars.
Once, when Ahsoka was just a youngling, Master Yoda told Clawmouse clan that a Jedi's training only ended when they became one with the Force. She hadn't understood it then; she'd imagined only the glorious adventures that she'd have once she was a Jedi. She'd be a hero, rescuing innocent beings from all sorts of disasters.
She'd never imagined anything like the Clone Wars. She'd never thought she'd be leading men who were in fact younger than she was into battle, never thought she would have to watch them die.
Though she was just a Padawan, sometimes she felt ancient.
