Author's Notes:  This is my first 'Star Wars' fanfic. This story took a very sharp turn somewhere in the last couple of parts, and I lost control. It just grabbed me by the hair and dragged me along for the ride. Hence, a couple of things need to be said. First, this has become very, very dark in its own way. I don't mean you'll find yourself at the bottom of the Pit of Despair at the end (unless, of course, you want to find Wesley so he can comfort you), but I do mean angst-fest and character death. Second, I am very happy with the way this turned out. What I present to you in Version A of Part 11 is just one possibility. For those of you hankering for a kinder, gentler tale, resort to Version B of the same part. If you read both versions, I will be ecstatic.
