licenseartistic November Prompt #3
Prompt: Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway. --Mary Kay Ash.

Disclaimer: Anakin doesn't belong to me, he belongs to George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Just borrowing. No money made or intended to be made off of this, ever.
Author's Note: It probably makes sense in a way that doesn't so, uhm. Sorry?
He was a slave. Property. Always following someone else. Always. Even after he left Tatooine, even after he became a Jedi in his own right, even after...everything, he didn't stop being a slave. No longer Watto's slave, for certain, but still, on the inside, he was a slave. You don't stop being what you're born as, just sometimes you grow past it. You forget. He forgot, or tried to.
He told himself that he was Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, Hero Without Fear, and for a time, he believed. He told himself he had every right to be among the Jedi, to be a Jedi, and he believed. And he did. And he was a Jedi in every sense of the word.
He flew. Both literally and otherwise, he soared through life on the heights of his power. He was Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, after all, he who walks the skies. His birthright.
He shouldn't have been. He shouldn't have even been born. But he was. And he did. So he flew. He flew until he fell and he fell until one day, he flew once more and he was no longer a slave at all, he was Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight.
