	Obi-wan hearing the cries of suffering, and feeling lost and helpless, reminds me of a legend about Avalokitesvara. According to one version the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara had promised his spiritual father Amitabha, the god of eternal lights that he would never give up practicing tender loving compassion and would not reach enlightenment himself until all beings had reached nirvana. He descended into hell, converted the wicked, liberated them and escorted them to Sukhavati, the paradise of his spiritual father, Amitabha. This way Avalokiteshvara tried for many years to help all living things, when he saw no decrease in their suffering within samsara, the wheel of existence i.e., He discovered that after every conversion and liberation another culprit instantly used to take his place. So he gave up his promise in despair. Immediately his head split into thousand pieces. His spiritual father, the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha then consolidated the thousand pieces into ten heads that he placed above each other and then put his own head on the top. He also told Avalokiteshvara not to renounces his promise and that there was still another way to accomplish his goal. Mahakala, the wrathful manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, was then created to fight against the negative forces with compassion, and to destroy obstacles in the path toward righteousness, thereby helping all sentient beings reach enlightenment.

	ZOMG!!! I wrote a chapter o_O Well… It took a long time to actually be in the mood… then think of something (hardest part, I didn’t know where I was going with this…) and write it! Although I don’t think this chapter is really good and it’s probably full of mistakes (omg I read the other ones…gahhh the grammar! XD ), I’ll post it anyway. Special thanks to : i luv ewansmile (your review actually made me read my fic back, and well… write more!), Ann Jinn, Gwenneth, PeaceGuardian, SKSexton, LittleWandererAmongtheStars, Rhetorical-Ducky From ff.net And Special thanks to : Gkilkenny, Valairy_Scot, AngryWarrior (never gave up, did you? :P ), ratna (you too!), Blue_Lightsaber42, Cole_Kenobi From tf.net I HOPE I didn’t forget anyone in the PM list… Anyway… TADAAAAA!!! Chapter 13 He could hear weeping and felt as though he too should be crying, but could not… The Force was quiet… too quiet. He didn’t like it. It hadn’t vanished…but… It was as though the Force was simply… mourning… “Help us” A voice echoed from far away. Obi-Wan looked around, but could see anything. Only an endless abyss. “End our suffering” Another voice whispered. “Let us be free” “Please” The boy searched the darkness but found nothing. Who was talking? Why such anguish in their voice? The murmurs we growing loud, as though there were always new ones trying to talk every moment. Obi-Wan couldn’t feel anyone. “Who are you?” He whispered. It felt as if a soft breeze whirled around him. He shivered. “We are those who will suffer. We are those who will be trapped in a quantum fissure for eternity. Neither dead nor alive. We are what might be your future.” Obi-Wan’s mind raced. His future? Were those voices… but it couldn’t be… “You must help us” The voices said as one. Could they be the reason he had become a ghost? Was that the mission the Force had chosen for him to accomplish? “I… I don’t know how…” He said hesitantly. “You were chosen for this task.” The voices whispered. “You must prevent the destruction of our galaxy.” “But what am I supposed to do?” “You must return to Melida/Daan. Only there can you undo what has been done to us… what will happen to all of you if you do nothing.” Obi-Wan opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He swallowed and tried again, this time managing to croak out the words. “Melida/Daan? But why?” He couldn’t… He just couldn’t go back there. Too many memories, too much pain he wanted to forget. He shivered and shook his head trying to wipe away the horrible images this memory conjured up. “It is the cause of our destruction. Stop it, before it is too late” “But how??” Obi-Wan cried. He had no idea of how he was supposed to stop a quantum fissure. And if he didn’t find a way, did this mean that all his friends, all those he ever knew were going to disappear, trapped forever in endless suffering? Would he fail again? “We will guide you” The voice whispered from far away, and then, everything went so bright that he was blind for a moment. He gasped, and sat suddenly upright. “Obi-Wan!” The boy’s vision slowly cleared, and he saw Qui-Gon and Bant, looking at him with quite concerned expressions. “We thought we wouldn’t be able to wake you!” Bant said, hugging him close. Obi-Wan hugged her back. He took a few quick breaths before he could calm himself. He saw that he was still in his ethereal form, but it didn’t matter, as long as he was still with his friends. He looked at Qui-Gon, who was sitting right beside him on his bed. “I’m fine now.” Qui-Gon’s midnight blue eyes met his aquamarine ones. //I heard you cry out to me...// Before Obi-Wan could answered, his Master gently slid a hand behind his head and guided it to his own lowered one until their foreheads touched. Relief flooded through the open bond. //I will not let anything happen to you Obi-Wan.// //Nor I, Master… nor I…// TBC (Ok, it wasn't that good... bleh) -----signature----- "Life does not treat you fairly or unfairly.

	Hi MASTER_KAYM, welcome back I knew you would eventually beat away dreaded real life, and come back to us crazy star wars readers. Thanks for updating this terrific story. “You were chosen for this task.” The voices whispered. “You must prevent the destruction of our galaxy.” “But what am I supposed to do?” “You must return to Melida/Daan. Only there can you undo what has been done to us… what will happen to all of you if you do nothing.” Ahhh, I knew he was the chosen one, maybe not Anakin, only better. Waiting for more. -----signature----- Padawan to p_stotts Peace over anger - honour over hate - Strength over fear. Links to Stories in my Bio. Obi-Wan forever.

I don't post often (and it's an understatement!) But I'm trying! It's you, readers, who keep me going. I have been busy, and I have a new job AND I'm still going to university ... wow I've been here forever... anyway, I’m still reading JA fanfiction, I just don’t write often… I hope you’re not tired of waiting… ratna :'bleh' my dakine. It's great! I was so glad to see this up!! Quantum fissure... sounds scary. You have to let us (and Obi-Wan) learn who the voices are. Waves hand at Master Kaym's muse -- you shall cooperate.... My muse is really lazy sometimes… I don,t really know if a quantum fissure really exists… I studied quantum chemistry, but not fissures! But this is fanfiction, so I can do whatever I want Gkilkenny : Hi MASTER_KAYM, welcome back I knew you would eventually beat away dreaded real life, and come back to us crazy star wars readers.

	Blue_Lightsaber42 : Poor Obi... But yay, Qui-Gon's being helpful! Please update soon!! Here it is and I know! Qui is actually helpful! Wow! Anyway... I hope this chapter is ok... I wrote it while I was kind of in a hurry... Chapter 14: Friendship Once Qui-Gon was satisfied with the knowledge that his Padawan was no longer in distress, he got up slowly. “I will contact the Council again. I left in the middle of a conversation. Will you be okay?” “Yes Master.” Obi-Wan looked at his friend who was still clinging on him. He smiled. “It’s okay Bant. I’m okay now.” “I know… but… you scared me, I thought you would never wake up.” “I’m sorry... I think it was the Force trying to tell me what I have to do. I just hope I don’t have these nightmares too often.” “I hope so” The girl whispered. They weren’t all nightmares. They were memories too. But Obi-Wan tried to block that thought. He didn’t have to remember the battle of Zehava. He didn’t want to. Maybe he could just forget… accomplish his last mission and then be free… Maybe he could just burry the memories forever… “It’s strange…” His friend said in a soft voice. “What…?” “You… when I touch you, it’s as if you’re there… but not there… It’s like foam… you touch it, yet you know it’s only air…” The boy took a look at one of his glowing hands. He could see through it, yet he could make all the details of what had once been his flesh. “I don’t feel any different… When I walk or I’m just standing, I feel normal, but when I touch something… or someone… I don’t know. It’s like I feel something, but not what I used to when I was…” He swallowed. It was still hard to accept the fact that he had died. “When I was alive” he finished slowly. Bant raised her big silver eyes to meet his. They didn’t need to talk. Friends could understand each other even without a single word. Bant knew that Obi-Wan was still shaken by what he had endured in the last few weeks. She knew that he was overwhelmed by what he heard, what he saw… war, betrayal, death… his friends’ and his own. It was a lot to take in, even for a Jedi. And even though he was older than she was, he was still young. He had been as sheltered from the world as she had been, as every initiate in the Temple was. She couldn’t ever begin to imagine what it was like to be caught in the middle of destruction and self-annihilation. But Obi-Wan knew. He had seen it… and he had experienced it at the cost of his own life. Obi-Wan saw the tears flowing in his friend’s eyes. Bant was sad for him. She had always been a good friend, kind and understanding. Everytime he had needed her, she had been there. Everytime he had been rejected, everytime he thought he would never be chosen to be a Padawan, and even that dreadful time when he thought he would be sent to the AgriCorps forever. She had always been there for him. What had he done to deserve such a good friend? After all that happened, after all he said… After he had abandoned all the Jedi, Bant included, how did he become so lucky that those he loved the most had forgiven him? He smiled sadly. Maybe friendship was all it was about. No matter what, all is always forgiven. They didn’t need luck… A ghostly tear ran down his cheek. Everybody needs luck. Bant put her hand on the side of his face and gently wiped the tear away. Not us. Obi-Wan smiled again. “Thanks” “For what?” “For being there.” She smiled back. “I’m your friend Obi. What kind of friend would I be if I wasn’t there with you?” “A wise friend” He answered with a teasing grin. He didn’t expect the small blow on the back of his head, so he didn’t have enough time to duck. “Ow!” “Don’t say that Obi!” Bant said with a playful expression on her face. She knew Obi-Wan was just teasing her, but she didn’t want him to diminish himself. The boy was still massaging the back of his head. “You know Bant, even though I’m a ghost, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.” Bant giggled at her friend’s annoyed expression. “Sorry Obi, but I just couldn’t help it.” “Ever heard about restraint?” Bant rolled her eyes. “Yeah yeah, control your emotions you must, let them control yourself you must not… I think I heard that somewhere…” They both giggled this time. Bant could do such good imitations of Master Yoda. It was good to be home, Obi-Wan thought. At that moment, Qui-Gon entered the room. He smiled at the two youngsters. He was happy to hear Obi-Wan laugh. It had been a long time. Too long. Seeing his friend being able to lighten up the mood was a good sign. Obi-Wan would heal. He sat in a chair in front of the bed. “I see that I missed something.” “Hum, well not really Master…hum… Bant was just…ah… reminding me of something” Bant and Obi-Wan looked at each other, eyes twinkling. “I see.” Qui-Gon said with a smile. But his eyes soon turned serious. “Obi-Wan, I just talked to the Council. They want to see us as soon as possible.” Obi-Wan turned serious as well. “Tonight?” “Yes. I realize it’s late, but it’s important that they know about what the Force has planned for you. And you will probably have to describe your nightmare as well… Can you do that?” “Hum… of course Master” Qui-Gon sat up and the two friends did the same. “I promise you, after the meeting with the Council, you can rest all you want.” “Thanks Master.” The boy looked at his best friend. He still wanted to talk to her, but it would have to wait. “I’ll see you tomorrow Bant.” “Okay.” They walked to the apartment’s door. “See you tomorrow!” Bant said as she began walking down the hall. “Yes. And Bant… thanks.” The girl smiled and waved her hand. Then, she disappeared at the end of the hall. Qui-Gon looked at his apprentice. “Let’s go.” TBC -----signature----- "Life does not treat you fairly or unfairly. It merely is. It is up to each of us to be fair, or unfair.

	A wonderful update, I like the way you are writing Obi-Wan. He still has feelings and can feel other people. So I wonder what the council will say Thanks for another terrific chapter. -----signature----- Padawan to p_stotts Peace over anger - honour over hate - Strength over fear.
