	Rage Against the Dying of the Light By: ForceAchtungBaby Genre: Cross-Over, Adventure Characters: Qui Gon Jinn, Obi Wan Kenobi, original characters Summary: Qui Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi Wan Kenobi find themselves in a world where they must hide their Jedi identities. Disclaimer: Characters Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi belong to George Lucas as well as any references to the Star Wars universe. Some characters and events will be a fictionalization of actual people and events in American history. "Rage against the dying of the light" first appeared as a stanza in the poem "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" by Dylan Thomas. To read the poem in full click here -------------------------------------------- Prologue It has been four years now. Four long years since my Padawan and I became marooned in this world where people fear the knowledge of the force and yet the force is present all around them. Our free-flowing Jedi robes have been forsaken for stiff black tunics. Our feet are now trapped in shoes of black and silver. And the most painful, that what marks a Jedi a Jedi - our lightsabres are hidden deep in the woods outside our small house. A place where the locals meet together in enclosed places to contemplate that which knows no boundaries. A place where, when we first happened here, it still pains me to relate, we felt a life bright with the force choked from existence. This place in which we have been forced to hide that which makes us who we are in order to protect our life. And, in so doing, I fear. No, Jedis don't fear. But, in this place, Jedis don't exist so perhaps its fitting that fear has taken its place. I do fear. I fear that which makes us vibrant, is dying little by little every day. But perhaps, I should start back on that day, four years ago, when we both arrived in this place - this place the locals call Salem. -------------------------------------------- Visit the original thread ------> Rage Against the Dying of the Light -----signature----- Enter the world of a child of the empire.

	Chapter 1 - Awakening Part 1 "Master, where are we?" asked a visually shaken Obi Wan Kenobi. "I, don't know Padawan," replied Qui Gon Jinn, as he carefully began to observe his surroundings. "This just doesn't feel right, Master." "I know Padawan. I feel it also," Qui Gon said as he got up of the ground. "Where, are you going, Master?" Obi Wan asked. "To try to find out where we are, Padawan." Obi Wan hastily got up from the ground and began to follow his master off into the distance. "Master, how are we possibly going to figure out what happened. Where's our ship?" "Patience, Padawan. Answers can always be found. The force is strong nearby. Can you feel it Padawan?" "Master...." Obi answered bewildered. "Stretch out, Obi Wan. I can feel a presence strong in the force nearby." Obi Wan reluctantly closed his eyes and began to focus on the force. Master and apprentice focused intently, the force flowing through them. Both making supplication to the force - seeking guidance, seeking answers. The force began to speak to them through the wind and the sky, the vegetation and all living things that surrounded them. "That way, Master," Obi said as he opened his eyes and pointed to the west. "Yes, Padawan, yes." Qui replied, opening his eyes. "Come, young one," Qui said as he resumed walking. Chapter 1 - Awakening Part II Qui Gon Jinn and his young apprentice walked down a steep cliff. "Careful, Padawan, watch your footing," Qui cautioned, his own footing slipping slightly on the soft terrain. "Master, that looks like a city in the distance," said the blue-eyed, rather awkward and gangly teenager, pointing to torch lights in the distance. "Yes, Padawan, I see," Qui Gon answered, his tone steady despite the fact his heart was pounding as he felt an unfamiliar cry within the force. Glancing at his Padawan momentarily he ascertained the teen was not aware of the unusual fluctuation of energy flowing through the both of them. Now with their eyes totally adjusted to the darkness, both found keeping their footing much easier. "Master, do you suppose it's a city," asked the inquisitive lad. Obi Wan Kenobi had been Qui Gon Jinn's Padawan for almost five years now. Naturally reserved Qui Gon continued to worry about the boy's lack of self confidence. For one so strong in the force and so naturally agile with a lightsabre it pained Qui Gon greatly to see the youth continue to doubt his abilities. "Let's hope so Padawan. From the looks of it, it could be quite primitive. We will need to very cautious, Obi Wan. These people may never have encountered Jedi's before. It may become imperative to hide our identities." "You mean lie?" Obi Wan asked, a mischievous school boy glint in his eyes. "No, not lie. We will have to be careful though. It is not necessary to reveal the truth to those to whom it is not owing," replied Qui Gon, unaware of how true those words would soon become to the two displaced travellers. "That, sounds very much like lying." "No, Padawan, that is the truth, from a certain point of view," Qui, replied, with a smirk at his young apprentice. "Master," Obi Wan began somewhat tentatively, as the two continued towards the light flickering in the distance. A light that with each step the two took got closer and raged ever brighter in front of them. "What did happen to our ship." "I don't want you to become troubled, Obi Wan," Qui said stopping momentarily and placing his hand on the lads shoulder. He looked at Obi Wan warmly, inwardly musing at how tall he had become in the recent months. "Sometimes I don't know the answers to situations. Sometimes things can not be explained in our own sphere of reality. At times only the force can guide us and help us find the answers. Padawan, all my senses tell me that this may be one of those times for us. However, I know I can count on your help with whatever is before us. I want you to remain close to me and follow my lead. Keep your senses open and listen for the will and the direction of the force." "Yes, Master." Chapter 1 - Awakening Part III Obi Wan Kenobi sighed deeply. To him it has seemed that the two, master and Padawan, had been traveling for days. In actuality he realized it had not even an hour since they began walking. Such a strange day, he inwardly pondered. This morning he reported to Master Qui Gon's room. Nothing about the beginning of the day would have signaled anything out of the usual was going to happen. He continued to play back through his mind the events of the day - boarding their ship and plotting their course. Master Qui Gon turned the piloting of the ship completely over to Obi Wan. Nothing was very unusual about that, his Master didn't care much for flying and Obi Wan quite enjoyed the feeling of guiding a path through the stars. A slight course correction - once again, not anything he worried himself about. The planet was close within scope and then a flash - intense light, unlike anything he had every seen before. Both mesmerized and terrified, Obi Wan called to his Master through their training bond for help. He gripped the controls of the ship tightly buckling from the onslaught. Right and then left and then left and then right, spiraling, twisting, turning, the ship continued to buckle and build speed. Obi Wan clutched tighter at the controls, trying to navigate the wave of energy - a matrix - beams of energy and light. Once again to the right and to the left, the ship whizzed. Obi Wan continuing to clutch the controls in almost a panic. He remembered Master Qui Gon urging him to control his emotions, reach out with his feelings and stay connected to the force. But neither Obi Wan, nor Qui Gon could seem to stop what was happening. The next thing he remembered was waking up - waking in this, he thought tentatively, place. Their ship no where to be found, a place where nothing feels right. Nothing feels right that is except for the force. The force, Obi Wan repeated to himself, mauling the word over like a smooth balm, willing himself to feel its presence cloak him. He closed his eyes momentarily as he continued to walk behind his master, and concentrated on letting the force guide him. His cerulean eyes shot open, "Master," he cried. Chapter 1 - Awakening Part IV "I feel it also," was Qui Gon's calm, serene answer to his apprentice's startling exclamation. "Obi Wan, yes, there is a disturbance in the force. A very strange disturbance in the force." "Master, it was like a voice crying out to me," the young Padawan replied, his face visibly devoid of color, as he spoke. His pupils dilated so that the usual calm blue orbs looked storm tossed. "I heard it also Obi Wan," Qui replied, once again calmly, trying desperately to bring his Padawan's focus back to the here and now. "Obi Wan," Qui began gently, once again placed his hand on the teen's shoulder in a reassuring manner. He affectionately gazed at this one so young and so much like himself that stood in front of him and continued, "It will be alright. Whatever we have to face we will face it together my Padawan. The force will guide us, it will speak to us, it will help us. The force will never forsake us." "There is no emotion," Qui offered. "There is peace," Obi wan continued. "There is no ignorance, Qui said, lowering his voice to almost a whisper and closing his eyes "there is knowledge." Obi Wan began to voice the ancient creed of the Jedi Order in unison with his master, "There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no emotion there is peace. There is no death there is the force." Over and over again, Master and Padawan repeated those ancient words.. words by which Jedi's had drawn comfort, strength and power for a millennia. Words that were both prayer and confession, exaltation and redemption. Chapter 1 - Awakening Part V A small village began to take shape in the distance. Although still some ways away it was far different from the world of silver and light the Jedi knew as home. Courscant, the central planet in the galaxy seemed so very far away and the Jedi temple with its understated opulence seemed even farther away. Qui Jon Ginn and his apprentice Obi Wan Kenobi continued to walk - unflinching, one with the force, it's mystic, ancient presence giving them equal parts power and serenity. The force was so near, they both could feel it's soothing calling and also a bitter cry. A cry Jedi Master Qui Jon Ginn had never felt before. A cry so loud and clear and unsettling that continued to call to both Master and Padawan. The two continued to walk, neither speaking, both seemingly strong and serene when they came upon a group of people gathered on a hill around a large tree. A gorgeous tree with long sturdy branches and a hint of the divine within it's shade. "Wait a moment, Obi Wan," Qui Gon said. "Watch, listen," he continued, as he stooped down low, their presence hidden by the natural barrier. They watched as a woman, dressed in black with a stiff white color was brought bound and placed underneath the tree. The cry through the force became still louder and louder. So loud that young Obi Wan if his master hadn't been beside him would have plugged his ears in an attempt to block them out. Qui Gon send waves of reassurance through the force to his young Padawan. That simple, loving, fatherly act, seemed to assuage the feelings of anxiety he felt emanating from the young one. Both continued to watch as a binding was placed around the woman's neck, a stool beneath her feet. The other end of the binding wrapped around the top of a tree limb until the woman was lifted onto her toes. And then, sensing what was about to happen, Qui Gon Jinn placed his hand over his Padawan's eyes and hugged him to his breast and closed his yes. Both heard the noise as the stool was kicked from under the woman. The cry in the force was intense, overpowering, wave upon wave of energy and then a deafening silence. Qui Gon Jinn opened his eyes and shut them back just as quickly, the image of the woman's body swinging back and forth suspended far above the earth etched in his memory. "Master," Obi Wan muttered, tears now flowing freely from the eyes of both, "that woman," he stammered. "I know, Padawan, was," his voice wavering slightly, "force sensitive." Chapter II - Specter Part I "Master, where are you going?" Obi Wan asked as he watched Qui Gon rise quickly. The mob had since disappeared. Although Obi Wan had been spared the pain of seeing what actually had taken place, hidden from sight within his master's protective embrace, he had felt as had Qui Gon the force struggling. The force pleaded, cried and flowed through this woman and then it was silent. It had been some time since Qui Gon had felt the death of a Jedi or of one force sensitive. He had made himself forget the intense pain that could be felt through the force. All living things cried out and only one in tune to the force would even notice its cry. For Jedi's feeling a life full of the force slip through the physical realm was intense - a ripping, wrenching, heartaching experience. Obi Wan had never experienced such intensity through the force. Never felt a life radiating with the force snuffed out, never felt the force cry in pain or exult in triumph. He was still young, still much to learn, but now as his master looked at him he realized Obi Wan would have to grow up much more quickly then he should. "I am going down the hill towards." Qui gulped and then kneeled back down beside his padawan, placing his hand on his shoulder, "That is our sister, our sister in the force. As such she deserves dignity, dignity in life and in death. For her to," his voice wavering "hang there is not dignified. We will free her from her bonds and pay our respects to her as the sister we had not known." "Yes, Master," Obi Wan replied sombrely. "Let's go then," Qui Gon replied, patting his padawan on the back and then standing up. Chapter II - Specter Part II The small, black creature with its yellow eyes gleaming circled. It looked up and raised itself on its hind legs, sniffing the stale air. Returning to the ground it sat on its hindquarters and began to wail - the most piercing of cries. Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi edged closer to the tree. The small creature stood up, hissed and barred its teeth. Its hair stood on end and its tail stiffened pointing accusingly at the foliage canopy above. The closer they stepped to the tree's shadow the more agitated the creature became. "What is it, Master?" Obi Wan asked with trepidation in his voice. "I'm not sure Obi Wan. Probably just some native animal." Noting the animal's attentions towards the body still hanging over its head, Qui Gon continued "Perhaps, yes. It's protective. It must have been some kind of pet." "Some pet," Obi Wan quickly retorted. Qui Gon frowned slightly at his young apprentice and replied "It's just scared apprentice. Can't you sense its fear." "Yes, Master," Obi Wan replied attuning himself more fully to the creature's presence in the force. "Let's see if we can calm it some." "You want to calm that?" Obi Wan said pointing to the creature that was now hissing wildly at the two. "It seems harmless enough. It's such a tiny little thing," Qui Gon began as he edged closer to it. The animal continued to hiss. Qui Gon bent down, held out his hand and reached toward the creature, it began to snap and then it calmed down. Qui Gon continued to send waves of the force to the creature. It began to calm ever more slightly. Qui Gon swept the small furry little scrap of blackness into his arms. Stroking it gently he said, "See, apprentice, it's a friendly little thing. You were just scared, weren't you?" Qui Gon asked as the little creature began to nuzzle around his neck. Qui Gon laughed heartily and Obi Wan smiled - it was good to see hear that sound from his master again. "Very friendly. Here Obi Wan, hold it while I…" His voice trailed off as he looked at the body still suspended unnaturally in the air. Clearing his throat and extending the creature to his padawan he concluded "while I free." Sensing the terse nature in which his master was speaking and the underlying pain, Obi reached for the creature. The creature lost no time in caressing its slinky body around Obi's chest. The sensation caused Obi Wan to start to smirk and then just as quickly to hide his amusement. Qui Gon pulled energy from the force and propelled himself into the air, flipped and landed, straddling the tree branch. He took out his lightsabre and ignited it. With one swift motion the binding was cut and he gently guided the body down to the ground. The small creature leaped from Obi Wan's hand and began to rub and caress the woman's feet. Its body seeming to melt as it weaved in and out. Walking towards her bound hands, the creature began to nudge her hands. When no response was given, the cat curled up atop the body and began once again to wail. Chapter II - Specter Part III Qui Gon swiftly descended from the tree branch and gingerly bent down beside the body. "Our never to be known sister," Qui Gon said softly. Seeing the sight of the pathetic, crying animal he stroked the creature on the head. Careful not to disturb the obviously distraught animal, he removed the binding from around the woman's neck and the thick cloth that surrounded her face. Dried red stains marked the corner of her eyes like some kind of odd makeup lining her eyes. Her lips were reddened, in stark contrast to the pale appearance of her skin. A tear eased down Qui Gon's face as he touched her neck, a black and blue, reddish purple line around her entire throat. Her skin was cold, so cold. "Sister," Qui Gon repeated softly as he smoothed her jet-black tresses away from her face. Closing her eyelids he whispered "I'm sorry we didn't come sooner, sister. We failed you." Obi Wan placed a hand on his master's shoulder. Qui took Obi's hand for a moment and squeezed it gently. "I'm fine padawan. But, this place, is not. We must be careful. Come, help me. We should take care of the body properly." "Master, it is probably too risky to give her a Jedi funeral." "Padawan, you are right. But, I can't leave her like this." Qui picked up the small black creature and placed his hand gently on its head, soothing it once again with the force. Gradually the animal closed its yellow eyes and drifted off to sleep, its head on Qui's forearm and it's legs wrapped around his arm. "Here, master, I'll take it," Obi Wan offered, with his hands outstretched. "Katze, a witch's familiar," a strangely accented voice from behind them said. Chapter II - Spectre Part IV The sound of another voice startled Obi Wan, causing him to draw in his breath. Qui Gon looked up from the battered body and caught sight of an old man, wrinkled like some dried out piece of fruit, starring at him. "Katze," the old man repeated, smiling, "I'm sorry, strangers. I mean cat. From time to time I slip back into the talk from the old country. Silly, I know. I'm an old man now and haven't seen the sun rise on the other side of that grand ocean in almost 50 years. But, you looked perhaps like you could have been from the old country yourself." Qui Gon stood up and listened to the old fellow prattle on before interrupting him. "My name is Qui Gon Jinn and this is my apprentice Obi Wan Kenobi," Qui said extending his hand. "Oh, my manners," the old man replied shaking both the Jedi's hands. "My name is John Black. I'm the town blacksmith and well, in circumstances such as this, the town gravedigger," he said gesturing towards the body, his countenance taking on a sober tone. "That is a shame, unfortunate really," he continued, his countenance falling. "I apologize if we did anything inappropriate. Where we come from it is not respectful to leave a body in such a fashion." "Well, my friend, it's not respectful here either my friend. A terrible way to die, convicted, and an outcast. With only one's cat to mourn," the old man said, reaching down to stroke the cat's tail. "You said convicted. What could she have done to merit such an action?" Lowering his voice, the old man replied deliberately, drawing out each word he spoke, "spells, magic, witchcraft, signing her name in the Devil's black book." At the mention of the word magic, Obi Wan and Qui Gon both stiffened. Many cultures considered their use of the force as some mystical magically activity. Many cultures even feared such things, but they had never encountered ones that one kill for such things. "Rubbish," the old man said, followed by a hearty laugh. "Bridget Bishop, may she rest in peace, was no more a witch than you or I am a wizard. Right my friend?" the old man said as he smacked Qui Gon on the back. Chapter II - Spectre Part V Qui Gon managed to force a half-hearted laugh at the old man's comments. "But Bridget, bless her soul, was different and people often fear that which is different or even that they do not understand. So my friends, tell me your names and how you came to be here." "My name is Qui Gon Jinn and this is my apprentice Obi Wan Kenobi. Our ship was destroyed in route to our destination." "To many a sailor that has happened. It's the clifty rocks. Ship completely destroyed you say. Sounds like you will be here for a little while then. Is a shame such madness is common place in Salem these days," the blacksmith replied, shaking and his head and gesturing towards Bridgett's lifeless body. "We would be grateful for any assistance you would be able to give us," Qui replied. Obi Wan stiffened a bit. The thought of asking for help from one of these savage villagers for was, even though it should not do so, frightening to him. "My friends, I'm sure we will come up with something. Those names however, very strange, very strange, indeed. It would probably be wise my friends to go by names more common in the area. That would help you blend in better - not stick out quite so much - egh?" "You are perhaps right. We thank you for any assistance you give us, my friend. Here, allow Obi Wan and myself to help you with this unpleasant task at hand." The grim assignment of burying the force sensitive woman, they now knew as Bridget Bishop, caused waves of grief to surge through both master and padawan. Those feelings however had to be carefully concealed from this old seemingly harmless old man. For Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi were fast learning that nothing was as it seems in this place called Salem. -----signature----- Enter the world of a child of the empire.

	Chapter III - Rebirth Part I "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again." The words continued to ring in Qui Gon's ears. Born again. Born again. Is that what has happened to us? Have we been born again? New names, new clothes and the force seemingly slipping away from us daily. Suppressing the force is suffocating us both. Living as we are not meant to live is suffocating us both. Qui Gon cleared his thoughts. Only in the safety of this building could he feel free to call upon the force. This building where the people inside tried to house the presence of the divine, only there, could a Jedi freely call upon that which knows now boundaries. The congregation bowed their heads in what they called prayer, their lips moving, but voices silent. Qui Gon lowered his head and began to meditate. Slowly those around him began to dissolve. With his eyes closed tighter he became transfixed. He called upon the force. He intently sought guidance, answers, and some shred of hope. But yet, he had found nothing, nothing that he sought. "Amen", the voices around him echoed, breaking him away from his thoughts. -----signature----- Enter the world of a child of the empire.

	That was well worth the wait! The force is slipping away? Because they no longer call on it as often or because of something else? At least they have a place where they can call on it without fear. -----signature----- Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
