**"I am the Avatar, like my ancestors before me."**

### Post-Battle of Downsend

The Battle of Downsend finally came to an end in 7 ABY when the 19-year old Arya defeated merged and combined Raava and Vaatu to return the spirit to it's original state; Raatu. Combining the forces of light and dark. This meant Arya was no longer just the Light Avatar, there was only one Avatar; himself. He now could harness both sides of the force but he rarely used the dark side, as he was afraid of it's corrupting effects.

Arya and Lin shared a passionate kiss as Arya rested for the first time in years. The war however was far from over with imperial forces still at large.

### Thrawn's Return and Heir to the Empire

Shortly after Skywalker formally recognised the Mandalorians as a sovereign and just government once more, Republic spies investigated and relayed suspicions of an Imperial Shadow Council which sought to unify all remaining Imperial reminants in a massive assault to retake the known galaxy to the chancellor. It was found out that Captain Gilad Pellaeon, who had signed the Pellaeon-Gaversomn treaty a year prior, was part of this council. This paired with Moff Gideon's escape from Republic custody aroused concern from Arya who did not want a repeat of the disastrous Clone Wars. He did not inform the senate of these discoveries, fearing it would only bring civil unrest and shake the foundations of the republic.

Republic forces tracked former Magistrate Morgan Elsebeth who had apparently been in direct contact with Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Republic Security Beareau simply marked her as 'mentally deficient' due to her rambles about Thrawn's return from the unknown regions and her past as a nightsister. Arya, however, who was attempting to locate Pellaeon to question him was nowhere to be found.

### The Empire Reborn

In 11 ABY, The struggling Sith Empire was infiltrated by Darth Malgus who escaped republic custody. With mass support, Malgus overthrew the dark council and inherited the Darksaber vowing to destroy it promising the citizens of the empire that they would be free from the Dark Skywalker's control. Malgus declared the only way for galactic peace was the eradication of both Jedi and Sith which came as a great shock to the galaxy. Malgus re-organized the Sith with a new emblem. With this a new civil war emerged with the reborn empire and Sith reminants.

At this time, Arya was still chancellor of the republic and largely ignored the ensuing conflict instead focusing on achieving is potential as Avatar training reguarly. He was warned heavily by his past lives such as Avatar Corellia and Satele Shan who warned him about Malgus and begged him to wage war on the reborn empire. Arya refused, stating they were biased since they had both been killed by the Sith.

However, Malgus was the one who declared war on the Republic after defeating the remaining sithreminants. Arya once again entered the front lines winning all battles he was deployed in. A couple of months into the war, Malgus sent a formal request for Skywalker to join him on the desolate world of Dromund Kaas. To Corellia and Shan's dismay, Skywalker agreed. On the trip Corellia begged Arya to strike down Malgus and end the war and pleaded with him not to make the same mistake as he did. Arya shot his own comments at Corellia calling him arrogant and blinded by ancient rules and tradition claming it exactly to be why the Sacking of Coruscant happened in the first place, because of Corellia's arrogance and over-confidence.

At this comment, Corellia went silent never to speak to Skywalker again until his final days. Arya however still frequently talked to The Great Skywalker as he was the only person's judgement he could trust because he was un-biased. Their bond grew greater during this time with The Allfather being Arya's go-to for advice on current conflicts. When Arya met Malgus on Dromund Kaas they greeted eachother warmly, Malgus complimented Skywalker stating he was not like other Avatar's and he was not corrupted by the Jedi's way of 'peace'.

When Arya asked Malgus why they were meeting, he replied with 'For peace.' He then opened a secured box carved out of pesegam, an ancient metal from Korriban which was known for blocking the Darksaber's control. Malgus told Arya that if they were to destroy the darksaber and the golden saber then finally all war would end because there would be nothing to fight for. Arya, conflicted on the one hand personally agreeing with Malgus' ideals but on the other hand knowing he wanted control of the galaxy reluctantly agreed. As the ritual began, dark and light energy from the two force-wielders combined and both sabers began to crack, until a tie fighter from the ensuing space battle crash landed on the temple, disrupting the ritual. Malgus then fled with the Darksaber.

### Galactic Peace

From 13-40 ABY, widely recognized Galactic Peace between the reminants, pirates and the Republic. Arya moved to Tython in 19 ABY and fell in love with a 20-year old Mandalorian commando-spy known as Mai Vizsla. They married with Jedi honor with the marriage sparking much controversy with more of the traditional Jedi, wishing the Avatar to remain celibate and disinterested in love. Arya argued that he needed to produce offspring to aid the next avatar after him as he would not be alive to guide them.

In 29 ABY, Arya had his first son, Tenzin Skywalker who was force sensitive. A year later he had his second child, a girl named after Arya's sister, Leia Skywalker who was also force sensitive. In 33 ABY, Arya and Mai gave birth to their last son, Bumi. Unlike his siblings, Bumi was not force sensitive and was taken care of mostly by his mother. Unfortunately, Arya was not the best father and it was quite obvious that Tenzin was Arya's favorite because he took the ideals of the Jedi and his training as well as his grooming to eventually become Grandmaster of the Jedi order after Arya's eventual demise.

Arya spent most of his time with Tenzin training him to become the Grandmaster of the order as well as teaching him of the importance of the Avatar and how Tenzin alone will be responsible for taking care of the Avatar and training him/her the ways of the Jedi and the force.In the same summer, Arya and Tenzin went on a 5-week vacation of Tython visiting numerous villages and beaches, which Tenzin would eventually describe as the best time of his life.

#### Harmony Restoration Movement

In 25 ABY, Arya started the Harmony Restoration Movement, a movement designed to return the republic and the Jedi order to the position before the era of Sozin. His first acts were to end and halt all celibacy and anti-romance orders introduced by Sozin for the jedi meaning that for the first time in over 500 years, jedi were allowed to form romantic attachments to eachother. He also withdrew all jedi from the capitol of Coruscant, instead rebuilding and utilizing the numerous jedi temples on Tython and Yavin 4. Arya tried his best to distance the order from politics, making sure the republic would know that the jedi would not be tools for their own means but helpers of the people and neutral in all galactic affairs.

Arya also disbanded most of the colonies that Sozin had created in the mid and outer rims during the Hundred Year War with the exception of Yu Dao which proved to be benefiting with republic aid and leadership. One of the most notable achievements of the movement was when Arya re-established and rebuilt the cultural capital of Ba Sing Se on Tatooine, which had fallen under constant siege from the republic many centuries prior. He also revoked Hutt control of Tatooine and the outer-rim.

Arya and Diamio Boba Fett of Tatooine attempted to negotiate the fate of Tatooine in 29 ABY. With Ba Sing Se being rebuilt, Arya suggested that Fett allow the aristocratic fundamentals of Tatooine to return as well as a monarchy to regain control. He also remarked that since the Hundred Year War, Tatooine had been a wasteland and now restoring the monarchy and cultural heritage would be the only step forward. Fett was absolutely furious refusing to withdraw his forces stating that Tatooine was his. The issue of Tatooine was a long and tireless one with the republic and Fett's forces even fighting in the sandy dunes of the planet. Before the conflict could escalate, Arya went into the Avatar State and told Boba that if he did not withdraw his forces, then millions would suffer and perish.

After pressure from the republic and a major loss of forces, Fett accepted the terms and left Tatooine. Arya implemented a King on the throne of Tatooine as it was being rebuilt into a major planet. Part of the movement was also taking down criminal syndicates and gangs that Sozin had indirectly created. Most were taken down with ease but major syndicates such as Pykes and black sun were allowed to intergrate with the republic. By 30 ABY, Arya left the movement in the hands of the republic as he left to take care of his family. The movement succeeded in general and ended sometime around 35 ABY.

### Yuhzan-Vong War

When the Yuhzan-Vong war began in 41 ABY, Arya did not underestimate the Vong, viewing them as a legitimate threat and a painful one. When the first planet of Torguta was taken by the Vong, Arya instructed the Sages to protect and keep his children safe in Tython so that they would not be harmed by the invaders. Arya viciously fought against the Vong with the help of Republic forces taking back numerous worlds, but Arya's physical strength and power was tested beyond compare as he had to use immense power and his strength to hold the Vong back. Arya never had any rest and didn't see his children once for the entire war, so when he came back, they were pretty much adults. However, in between battles, with the little time he had, Arya ensured to contact the Sages, his wife and Tenzin to ensure they were okay and to carry out his son's training, albeit over hologram. Some point during the war, Arya taught Tenzin the Art of the Silent Fist

47 ABY saw the worst atrocities committed by the Yuhzan-Vong. Specially designed gas grenades the size of a small star-destroyer were developed and dropped on Torgutla (Republic-controlled planet) and Bongola (Mandalorian-controlled planet) which resulted in the entire population of both planets being obliterated resulting in approximately 2.53 trillion casualties. Arya was disgusted and shocked when he heard the news and immediately combined all his forces to lay a siege to try to retake the mid-rim. Arya also contacted Cobb Vanth of Mandalore, Marck Crim of Black Sun and Cairo Shand, Diamio of Tatooine to combine all their forces into a united Galactic Alliance. They all accepted this request and the combined forces pushed the Vong , taking back Coruscant. Arya also had the opportunity to see his family again, greeting all his children with a warm hug with Tenzin almost an adult.

Whilst on Tython, reuniting with his family. Arya was thrilled to see Tenzin's progress in the force but struggled to connect with Leia and Bumi. Leia because she was far closer to her mother and Bumi because Arya had spent little time dedicated to him because of the fact he wasn't force sensitive and that he was pursuing a career in the military, which Arya disapproved of greatly. He continued training Tenzin and training new Jedi.

In the Spring of 51 ABY, Arya sensed a massive disturbance in the force. He identified it as former Jedi knight A'Sharad Hett, who he had sent on Outbound Flight over 50 years prior during the Clone Wars. Arya used the Avatar State and his power to create an illusion of Tython so Hett would land on a decoy planet. When he arrived he demanded for the Avatar to reveal himself stating that Arya was the only one who would stand in his way. Arya manipulated the illusion to force the trees and surroundings to encase on Hett, but he used the dark side to survive. Arya revealed himself and a battle ensued. Skywalker learnt that Hett was attempting to take the Darksaber, which Arya had locked away on Tython after the defeat of Malgus. With this new found knowledge. Arya entered the Avatar State easily defeating the former Jedi. Before he could deliver the killing blow, Hett blasted Arya back and escaped. He then realized that Hett was the biggest threat to the Alliance and noted this to the Sages who attempted to look for him with no avail.

### Corridor of Elders and Sacrifice

In 54 ABY, the Vong adopted a new strategy to defeat the Alliance. The Vong had captured every core world in the Alliance except Mortis which was heavily guarded. The invaders put a plan to combine all forces from the unknown and outer regions to launch one last offensive taking Mortis and ending the war. Arya and the Alliance found out about these plans a day before and rallied all their forces on Mortis.

During the **Battle of the Corridor of Elders** every Alliance force fought back against the Yuhzan-Vong including Arya's entire family with the exception of Bumi who was deployed in Ryloth. They fought viciously against the invaders but it was futile. As the Vong marched closer to the Mortis altar in a moment of need Arya remembered the story of how the original Vong were defeated millions of years ago with the banishment of the Vong generals. Consulting with Grand Sage Lotus, he asked if The Dark Skywalker was the one to banish the ancient generals to the Cursed Realm then in theory he would be able to take the general's place in the realm in exchange for them to stop the Vong with faith they wouldn't approve of them taking such holy land.

Lotus was highly against the idea viewing it as highly improbable the generals would even help them and that Arya still had a life ahead of him. The Avatar argued that his sole duty was for the protection of the galaxy and the Sages duty was to the Avatar. Reluctantly, Lotus accepted as Arya told him to find the next Avatar at all costs. Arya told his family to meet them at the altar as he told them of the plan which Tenzin grew furious at. He challenged his father stating that he would never give his blessing for such an action. Tenzin ran away with tears in his eyes to fight in the battlefield which Arya was dismayed at.

Nonetheless, the ritual started as Lotus started to utter the spell which his ancestor had repeated eons prior as Arya bid farewell to his family and asked his wife to tell Tenzin he was sorry. After self-reflection, Tenzin returned to his father still distraught and said if anyone was to cast him off, it should be his son. Arya smiled and acknowledged that Arya's imprint on the world would always be on him.

### Time in the Preeminent

In 57 ABY, Arya sacrificed himself thus entering the Cursed Realm replacing the Vong Generals who had been in there previously. As he was banished to the realm he was tied to long unbreakable chains and remained there with other cursed souls such as most Vong and Darth Vowran. It is unknown if he ever engaged with them. In the Cursed Realm, Arya did not age as his spirit was doomed for eternal boredom and loneliness. Arya most probably learned about Darth Krayt and his goal to bring the Preeminent to the mortal realm during this time as well.

In 85 ABY, Krayt managed to bring the Preeminent to the galaxy and Tenzin was pulled in to the Cursed Realm as a result. Arya was thrilled to see his son for the last time as he delivered his final words of wisdom and reminding his son "It was never the color of his lineage that made him special, but the color of his heart". After this, Arya gave Tenzin his robe to fight Krayt and directed him to escape.

When Cade Skywalker entered the Avatar State for the first time, he used his power to destroy the preeminent thus killing Arya and all it's inhabitants. The spirit of the Preeminent and Arya were then transported to the departed realm.

### Legacy

When Arya sacrificed himself to the Cursed Realm, he was widely commemorated around the Galactic Alliance. After the battle, a stone statue of him was built next to the Mortis Altar, where he sacrificed himself which the Alliance soldiers and his family paid respects to. In Coruscant and Republic City, a marble statue of Arya in his teens holding the Lightsaber majestically was built. A funeral was held in fall of 67 ABY with billions of people paying their respects. In front of the Jedi temple on Tython, an emerald shrine was created dedicated to Arya. It showed Arya in his 20s using the force.

When Arya's spirit died in 85 ABY after the destruction of the cursed realm, Tenzin and his family paid their final respects acknowledging that their father died happy, as he was able to talk to his son for one last time. On the Day of the Departed, Tenzin and Leia travelled to Mortis where they paid respects to the statue of their father.

In 91 ABY, Arya's Oni form was resurrected but it has been confirmed that this person was not the same Arya that had sacrificed himself to the Cursed Realm meaning that Avatar Arya Skywalker as of now is still deceased and roaming in the departed realm.
