	Whoa...you had me on the edge of my seat. We start out fairly light (and I love, love, love that Garen regards Obi-Wan as a friend!) then we end with a bit of horror. A wonderful update. Obi-Wan?” Kale could hear a quietly spoken mantra repeating over and over as the young man clenched his fist tighter and tighter. “He does want me!” Paying no attention to the object of his son’s wrath, Kale kneeled down beside the teen. Having felt the boy’s emotions, the Jedi knew the mantra was referring to him. Clasping a hand on either side of Obi-Wan’s face, Kale turned the teen’s head until they were facing one another, but the youth’s eyes never left his tormentor. “Of course I want you.” Kale reassured him. “Your mother and I have wanted you since the day we knew about you.” The teen’s hand trembled. “Don’t do this, son.” Kale pleaded. “It’s not who you think it is; you’re harming Qui-Gon.” At least Obi-Wan doesn't seem to doubt Kale (much, anyway) - he's gone a long way!

	Oh dear.... . Obi is definitely in danger now. Not good! I hope Kale and Qui are able to protect him from Traest and find a solution to the lineage problem. If not... Excellent post!

	Sounds like Obi-Wan is in trouble again with his tormentor showing up, spewing his poison. Obi should be careful with his powers, though. He could have killed Qui-Gon doing that. And yet he didn't try it against Traest in the street. He needs training desperately. Poor kid. He's so confused. When the teen shook his head, the man tightened his grip. “There’s no one left to save you, little one.” A cruel smirk and then, “You think your father cares about you? You’re just excess luggage that he’s stuck with; he never wanted you. Why do you think he was never around?” The specter laughed, seeing that his words were starting to confuse the boy. “Leave, and don’t come back.” Good job. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 9/22/08 Fragments of Illusion- http://boards.theforce.net/bts/b10475/28456473 updated 8/16/08 Freeze frame - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b10476/27820434 Master to jedidas3 Impeach Bush!

	Valairy_Scot hoa...you had me on the edge of my seat. We start out fairly light (and I love, love, love that Garen regards Obi-Wan as a friend!) then we end with a bit of horror. This could be a good thing. A wonderful update. Thanks! At least Obi-Wan doesn't seem to doubt Kale (much, anyway) - he's gone a long way! By remaining constant, Kale is once again endearing himself to his son. Congrats on your noms! Richly deserved - best of luck. Thank you! wolf_kenobi Oh dear..... Obi is definitely in danger now. Not good! It could be depending on how one views it. I hope Kale and Qui are able to protect him from Traest and find a solution to the lineage problem. If not... Kale and Qui will definitely do their best to protect him. As for the lineage problem, that will come with time. Excellent post! Beautifully done all around. Thank you! Cole_Kenobi I still love this story! Awesome updates! Thanks! I’m glad you’re still enjoying it. Sorry I haven’t reviewed lately, my interests have waned in the Star Wars fandom and House, MD has taken over, ahah. You mean it’s actually possible for one’s love of Star Wars to wane? Just kidding. I understand. I hope your other fandoms bring you many hours of joy! Thank you for the PM. You’re welcome! Gkilkenny Oh my! Can’t these evil people just die and be done with it. Well, if they were really dead to start with, then they could be. Poor Obi-Wan and Poor Qui-Gon. Indeed. Amazing chapter. Thanks! p_stotts Wow! I can't believe I missed an update! I'm certain Kale and Qui-Gon can help Obi through this. I have a feeling, though, that Obi-Wan is going to have to face his demons before he can move on with his life. If you have a pm list, Bek, please add me to it. Kale and Qui-Gon will try to be there every step of the way. As for facing his past, this may be just what the kid needs to move forward. I’d be happy to add you to the list. Thanks for reading! dianethx Sounds like Obi-Wan is in trouble again with his tormentor showing up, spewing his poison. Obi should be careful with his powers, though. He could have killed Qui-Gon doing that. And yet he didn't try it against Traest in the street. He needs training desperately. He didn’t try anything against Traest because he was too shocked at the fact that he was there at all. That and the fact that his former responses (when in Nayt and Traest’s care) came into play full force causing him to sort of shut down. Poor kid. He's so confused. He’ll figure things out! Well, maybe... Good job. Thanks! jedidas3 As I told you before, I love this twist that you have thrown in! Excellent job! I was still on the edge of my seat! Now, you can help relieve my stress by posting again, very soon. Thank you so much for looking over that chapter! I really appreciate your help. Congrats on your noms, they are well deserved! Thank you! VaderLVR64 Wow! Incredible update! Long, but well worth the read! Thanks! I'm worried about Obi. This may have been the best thing for him. Chapter 25 The reprieve Qui-Gon needed so desperately was too long in coming. At last he felt the hold on his throat ease, causing his oxygen depraved lungs to hungrily take in large gulps of air. Having felt the shift in the force, Chlee slowly withdrew the healing tendrils in order to make certain his airway would remain open on its own accord. Qui-Gon swallowed several times, an ache accompanying the action. Kale resurfaced from his task and having noticed that Chlee was attending to Qui-Gon, he checked his son before moving over to inquire about his friend. Several minutes had passed when Obi-Wan awoke, his hands clenching the cover beneath him. His eyes roamed the ceiling, working to reacquaint himself with where he was in correlation with the dream world he had just been in. The low murmurs around him invited him to sit up; he saw Kale and Chlee helping Qui-Gon into the chair Kale had previously vacated. It was real. The teen slowly moved to the far side of the bed and stood, out of reach of anyone who would dare try to touch him. “I’m sorry,” the young man said, his voice clearly reflecting his remorse. Not having realized Obi-Wan was awake, the three Jedi simultaneously turned toward the youth when they heard him speak. Qui-Gon quickly reassured him, “I’m fine.” His voice was hoarse; he cleared his throat. “It’s not your fault young one.” When Obi-Wan hurried from the room, Kale sighed in angered frustration. Qui-Gon glanced at his friend as did Chlee. “What is it?” “It was Traest who hurt him.” “That’s not possible.” “No it’s not, and yet it is. It was him he was trying to kill in his vision. I’m not exactly certain why it manifested itself upon you.” “His abilities are still a mystery. Actually, I believe they’re mostly a mystery to him as well,” Qui-Gon replied. Feeling like a third wheel, Chlee excused herself. “You two seem to have everything under control. I’ll be downstairs if you need me.” Qui-Gon grasped her arm as she turned to leave. “Thank you, my friend, for coming when you did.” She smiled, inclining her head in a welcome gesture and then leaving the room. “I guess everyone felt it.” Kale deduced. “She came in right after you went in to help him. I honestly don’t know what would have happened if Chlee hadn’t intervened when she did.” The floorboards creaked beneath the carpet, causing both Jedi to turn toward the door. Obi-Wan walked in carrying a large glass of water. He stopped a few feet away from the bed and held it out at arm’s length toward his mentor. “I thought you might need this,” he said quietly. When Qui-Gon gratefully took the glass, the teen stepped back before the elder man could grasp his arm. “I’ll be downstairs.” The door shut on its own accord. “Wait,” Kale’s voice sounded behind him. “Open the door,” the youth pleaded. “I saw your dream, Obi-Wan; I know about Traest.” “NO!” Obi-Wan turned around. “He’s dead!” His tone of voice struggled to be certain of something that he knew was not factual. “No, son…he’s not.” Resigning himself to the truth, Obi-Wan said, “I know; I just don't want to believe it." "What did he say to you?" Kale asked. "He warned me to leave. If I leave then everything will be fine," was the teen's reply. “Leave?” Qui-Gon asked confused. “Why?” “He wants Bailer providence. With me out of the way, Marius will take over, sell out to Kalar and he will in turn give Traest half its net worth.” Obi-Wan replied. When the other two merely raised an eyebrow as if waiting for more, he continued. “It will pay him back for what I cost him on Lladnar.” “Lladnar was never his to take, you know that.” The young man was torn between running away from the problem at hand and wanting to end Traest’s cruelty once and for all. A sharp pain suddenly shot through the teen’s mind causing him to reach up and hold his head. Realizing what was happening, Kale berated himself for not having taken more care when tearing through the boy’s shields. Aiding the young man in his quest to sit down, Kale placed a hand over the youth’s forehead and carefully went about the task of easing his pain. The teen’s face revealed his puzzlement concerning the abrupt onset of the headache. “I had to take down part of your shields to reach you,” Kale explained. “That’s the reason for your discomfort.” Obi-Wan shot his father a look of warning. “Don’t ever do that again.” “I hope never to have a reason to.” The teen wilted under the reminder of what had just occurred. “You’ve stood up to him before,” Kale reminded while working to repair the damage he had caused. He was in no way a healer, but he knew enough to mend the impairment he had caused. “You can’t run, Obi-Wan. You have to face this if you’re going to overcome his hold over you.” Qui-Gon added quietly. “It’s not running!” He tried to stand up but Kale’s ministrations held him in place. His vision blurred slightly and then cleared just as quickly. Allowing himself to relax under his father’s hand, he continued, “I never had anything to lose before. It was just me – my life – if Traest chose to take it then so be it. But now, I can’t risk it. I can’t lose everything…there’s more at stake now.” When Kale finished repairing the slits in Obi-Wan’s shields, he assisted the teen in rebuilding them. “Better?” he asked in a quiet tone. Obi-Wan nodded. “There’s still a dull ache but it’s better than before.” He looked at his father a moment before continuing, his voice lowered half in understanding and half in admonishment. “I understand why you did it, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.” Looking between Qui-Gon and his father, he began to wonder when he had let them so close. He had allowed himself the one thing that given the chance, Traest would use as leverage. “I knew better than to let anyone get close to me; I tried to keep you all at arms length and yet all of you managed to get past my defenses anyway.” He shook his head and raked his hands through his hair in an agitated fashion. “You don’t know him. He would as soon kill anyone who gets between him and what he wants than to negotiate terms.” Qui-Gon started to say something about attachments when he remembered that the boy was not a Jedi. Not really. They may have begun his training, but the teen’s upbringing had not been enforced in the Jedi ways. He conceded the teen’s point. “We have no personal experience with Markus Traest. In that you are correct.” He tried a different tactic to make the boy realize that this was one fight he was going to have to pursue. “Have you thought about your grandmother? Have you thought about how losing the family providence would affect her?” The look that settled on Obi-Wan’s face was answer enough. He didn’t want to admit, even to himself, that they were right. He had to stop running from his past and face up to it. It was so easy to live in fear: the fear of rejection, the fear of abandonment, the fear of losing what he loved the most, the fear of everyone measuring up to Nayt and Traest, the fear of moving forward into an unknown future. Or maybe it wasn’t that living in fear was easy so much as it had become strangely comfortable, familiar, a way of life. Looking forward, the unknown, terrified him. But common sense told him that if he was ever going to be free of the hold his past embraced him with, he was going to have to make a stand. And that frightened him; he knew the lengths Traest would go to get what he wanted. The man wasn’t mentally all there. “I know you’re right, but that doesn’t make it easier. He has to be stopped…and I’m the only one who can do it.” “You don’t have to take this on by yourself, you’re not alone.” A small smile crossed the young man’s lips. “I was hoping you’d say that.” At Kale’s bewildered look, Obi-Wan explained. “The Lladnar authorities must be looking for Traest. Perhaps they should be informed of his whereabouts.” “The only roadblock is that Nyve is no longer a part of the Republic but Lladnar is. The Senate would have to request that he be extradited into their custody. The Nyve courts are protective of their citizens; it would be a lengthy procedure.” “I’ll go contact the Senate. The sooner we get this underway the better.” Qui-Gon replied, leaving the room to use the comm. unit downstairs. Obi-Wan sat looking at the now open door. Turning back to his father, he asked, “What happened with Qui-Gon…that wasn’t something I should have been able to do was it?” Kale shook his head but offered a smile of reassurance to offset his negative response. “There’s much that you should not be able to do without having been trained. Yoda believes the rudimentary skills I taught you the first ten years of your life may be accountable for the way you subconsciously draw on the force. And if that’s the case, then it’s only natural that you would surprise us, and yourself, with new talents.” “But that…talent…was not acceptable.” “No, it wasn’t. That particular skill was drawn out by your fear and the anger you hold toward Traest.” Obi-Wan mulled over his father’s words. “How did Qui-Gon get caught up in my dream?” Kale smiled, though his expression held confusion. “That is something neither of us know the answer to.” When Obi-Wan’s features showed his distress with the answer, Kale assured him. “But that does not mean there isn’t one.” X Chlee had barely managed to get to the bottom of the staircase before the questions began. Raising a hand in a silent request to listen, she replied, “Everything’s fine.” “What happened?” Garen asked. “There was a bit of a mishap with Obi-Wan’s force skills, but all is fine now. Qui-Gon and his father are handling the situation.” Jes smirked. “That’s a very diplomatic way to say that my nephew once again did something he shouldn’t have.” Chlee smiled. “He just surprised us.” Nodding her head in understanding, Jes made her way to the kitchen to prepare last meal while Chlee and her padawan moved over to the sofa and took a seat. Garen picked up the holo changer and began flipping through various programs, more as something to occupy his time that any real interest in what was on. “Do you think he’s all right?” The Jedi master studied her padawan a moment before answering. “You’ve grown fond of him haven’t you?” Garen swallowed self-consciously and shrugged. “I think he’ll be fine. He has a lot of support here.” A short time later, Qui-Gon came down the stairs. When he saw Chlee and Garen, he inquired after Mrs. Kalar. When his colleague gestured toward the kitchen, Qui-Gon started to walk that way but stopped and requested that the two of them follow. Jes looked over at the doorway as the three Jedi filed in. Knowing this had something to do with Obi-Wan, she stopped the meal preparations and took a seat at the table. Figuring he may as well tell her the bad news; thereby, sparing Obi-Wan the task of doing so, Qui-Gon proceeded to explain the situation to all three of them. “You’re sure then?” Jes asked with some trepidation. Qui-Gon nodded. “Kale saw Obi-Wan’s vision and the boy reluctantly confirmed it when his father confronted him.” “I thought this was finally behind us.” She whispered, and then suddenly panicked. “You have to keep them apart. If Obi-Wan gets anywhere near Traest now that he has something worth protecting….” “Do you believe he would go that far?” Jes nodded with conviction. “If he had the chance and it didn’t cost him someone he cared about, then yes.” Qui-Gon looked downtrodden at this revelation. “Were he to go down that path it would cost him much more than that.” X “I haven’t told you everything.” Curious as to what his son was referring to, Kale motioned for him to continue. “And I don’t know if what I’m about to say matters much, but perhaps it might be now that Traest….” he still couldn’t believe that the man was alive. That was one lesson he had failed to follow up on: always make sure your adversary is either dead or permanently immobilized before moving on. He closed his eyes briefly and reached for the force, trying to clear his mind as Traest’s words echoed through his head. "I ran into Gawain Kalar at the old wreck site prior to you finding me at mom’s grave. Needless to say, he wasn’t too happy to see me.” The youth smirked and then proceeded forward, “When he made a certain statement as if it were common place, the force felt agitated: swirling around me like it was trying to warn me of something. It may sound crazy but it’s the only way I can describe it.” Having learned when the boy was younger not to dismiss his feelings, Kale asked, “What did he say?” “He accused me of killing my mother; he said it was my fault.” When Kale made to interrupt, Obi-Wan hurriedly proceeded. “Don’t worry; I know now that it wasn’t. When I told him the vehicle failed, he said, ‘transports do tend to malfunction now don't they?’ There’s something to that but I’m not sure what.” Kale’s hand clenched into a fist and his jaw tightened at the implication hidden within those words. Obi-Wan looked at his father with concern as realization dawned. “It wasn’t an accident, was it?” he asked hesitantly. Ignoring the question, Kale asked, “What else did he say to you?” Taken back by the anger in his father’s voice, Obi-Wan swallowed down his anxiety before continuing, “He voiced my own fear. He said if I think I’ve finally found home to think again. That you would all turn on me when I least expect it. Then he told me to leave Nyve." Kale’s eyes closed as he worked to regain his composure. It wasn’t an accident, but why would anyone target his family? The Jedi now found himself with more questions and no answers. Having calmed down, he opened his eyes. He could feel his son’s worried gaze upon him. “I’m all right. X A soft knock on the door alerted the two inside that someone was about to invade their privacy. Jes stuck her head and upper body through the small opening of the door and said, “Dinner’s ready.” “We’ll be down in a minute,” Kale replied. The Jedi had just made his way to the door when Obi-Wan called out, “Dad?” A burst of joy shot through the older man at the endearment. Turning around, he quietly waited for the other to continue. “I’ve been thinking.” Kale allowed a slight grin to accompany his words. “That’s a dangerous past time.()” “Maybe,” Obi-Wan confirmed with a glint of mischief in his eye. “Nevertheless, I’ve come to a decision. You and Qui-Gon were right: as much as I want to, as much as it is ingrained in me to, I can’t run anymore. I’m going to publicly announce, that once I turn twenty-one, I will be taking my place as Governor of Bailer providence.” () Disclaimer: I borrowed this phrase from a series my son recently discovered called Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan.

	Great update. I liked how they were worried about Obi-Wan and yet trying to figure out what was going on. Obi-Wan has to face his fears if he's ever going to be free. The look that settled on Obi-Wan’s face was answer enough. He didn’t want to admit, even to himself, that they were right. He had to stop running from his past and face up to it. It was so easy to live in fear: the fear of rejection, the fear of abandonment, the fear of losing what he loved the most, the fear of everyone measuring up to Nayt and Traest, the fear of moving forward into an unknown future. Or maybe it wasn’t that living in fear was easy so much as it had become strangely comfortable, familiar, a way of life. Looking forward, the unknown, terrified him. But common sense told him that if he was ever going to be free of the hold his past embraced him with, he was going to have to make a stand. Wonderful. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 9/22/08 Fragments of Illusion- http://boards.theforce.net/bts/b10475/28456473 updated 8/16/08 Freeze frame - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b10476/27820434 Master to jedidas3 Impeach Bush!
