The Marriage Rites of the Jedi [closed to niteofren]

There is a level of awareness that Rey has regarding her lack of guilt for stealing the sacred Jedi Texts from their generations old home on the island. That being said, it's often dulled by the knowledge of Master Skywalker's insistence that there was no more need for the Jedi when she knew that there was, or at least was incredibly sure that there was.

She had made an attempt or two to read through the old texts, but they were not exactly what could be called page turners, and the heavy going dry information was made only worse by the fact that age had dulled the appearance of the text, making it hard to make out what was actually written. That was the main reason she was so sure she had gotten it wrong. After all, everyone knew that the Jedi never married, so why would there be mention of marriage rites in theirs texts?

But they were there and that sinking feeling in her stomach made it clear to her that no, she wasn't misreading. If this was right...

Did he know? He had read these, hadn't he? Or, at least the Histories? Could that be why he made that offer?

Rey had thought that reading the texts would help clear her confusion, but now she felt more confused than ever

"I can't just leave now, Rey."

He would have done more than save the fleet if he'd known. He would have left with Rey.

"Hux would take over. He'd build another Starkiller."

"You don't understand. The only thing stopping him is that I can kill him with a thought."

Hux had been trying to push to make another superweapon already. Kylo still didn't understand why since the Republic was gone and the Resistance was almost dead.

"You said my mother is recovering. She will be all right? Is there..."

Is there anything I can do? But what can he do with things how they are? He can't go to her without risking her life. Hux would likely find a way to organize an attack while Kylo was still there.

His next words surprised even him. He shouldn't even be thinking this.

"Tell her to go ahead. Tell her I'll do my best to give her time."

He looks in her eyes. He hasn't really thought about whether anyone else knows about them before. Now that he is, he finds he wants his mother to know.

"Please..."

He hangs his head and nods. It's what he wants.

"Thank you."

"Don't let her. Rey, I can only do so much to protect her."

He did know what his mother was like. It was a foolish risk but one he needed to take.

"The Force is strong in my family," he mused. "But I don't think it particularly liked us. I don't think it ever has."

"Maybe," he admitted, turning away. "Did Skywalker tell you anything about my family's history?"

He let out a bitter laugh. "Of course that's all the old fool said," he sneered. "Grandfather left to become a Jedi when he was nine. He started having visions of her ten years later. The Jedi wouldn't let him do a thing about it. He finally went with Grandmother to check her without telling anyone. He got there just in time for her to die in his arms. He could have stopped it if it weren't for the Jedi. Or if the Force had bothered sending the visions to someone who would have been allowed to save her. The same thing happened with Grandmother. He asked for help. The Jedi were useless. She died while he was trying to find a way to save her."

"Probably." If he sounded like an emo teenager, that was just Rey's imagination. A Supreme Leader never sulked. "He knew a lot more than he ever admitted. As did my mother."

He shook his head firmly. "They told me nothing. I found out from the news with everyone else."

He shuddered. It had been cruel. For the first time, he discovered Snoke was telling the truth. He'd started listening after that. It had been his only way to avoid another nasty surprise.

He shrugged. "Tell them that."

He sighed. "Apparently, they didn't see a reason not to lie about it even though it effected me as much as them."

"I didn't mean..." He shook his head. "It doesn't matter. But it's probably why... I found out right before Skywalker..."
