Ok!!! Here is the thire part and I really hope it is ok!!!
All Souls Meet in the Shadows of Eternity.
*****
Obi-Wan stood in the shadows, shivering intensely as the gray mist wrapped itself around his form. Dimly, he could see other figures making their way through the shadows, struggling to find a familiar face as they went through the strange place. Obi-Wan’s heart went out to them, as he remembered the day he had been like that. However, he knew none of them, and so moved to comfort none. Instead, he turned to look the haze again.
Still nothing. How long had he been standing here? It didn’t matter, he mused. Time had no meaning here. Even if it did, it wouldn’t matter to him. He would wait as long as it took. Obi-Wan knew he was coming today. He didn’t know how he knew, but it was a constant pressure on the back of his mind. //He is coming!!// Rang through his mind again and again, never ending, drawing him to this point.
His robe swirled around his booted feet as a cool breeze sprang up and played with the edges. He bit his lip softly and searched the grayness once more. //Nothing…no, wait! What was that thing?// He thought, and squinted. A figure slowly walked in his direction, looking around.
As the figure came closer, Obi-Wan saw that it was a man. His breath caught as the figure turned to look at him in confusion, his blue eyes intense. Obi-Wan would have recognized that face anywhere. “Master?” He asked, his voice rough.
Qui-Gon’s face shown with relief as he recognized his apprentice. “Obi-Wan!” He cried, striding towards the youth quickly. Obi-Wan accepted the embrace from his master gratefully. The longer they touched, the more he forget how long it had been since they had seen each other. Suddenly, it didn’t matter. They were together again.
Qui-Gon leaned back. His eyes shone, and if he could, Obi-Wan was sure he would have been on the verge of tears. However, tears didn’t exist on this plane, and so none came.
“I have missed you…” Obi-Wan managed to speak despite the sizable lump in his throat.
“And I you, padawan. It was so lonely without you!!” Qui-Gon said softly, running a hand over his apprentice’s braid. “I actually missed having Yoda scold me for something you had done even!” He grinned.
Obi-Wan grinned back. “Yoda. How is he?” He asked.
Qui-Gon just shook his head. “He is the same as always. Master Yoda was always one of the constants in life.” Obi-Wan nodded in agreement to that statement.
“I saw Tahl…” Obi-Wan told his master, his expression unreadable as he waited for a response.
Qui-Gon stiffened slightly. “Is she all right?” He needed to know.
“She’s fine. Quite happy, actually. She told me she has missed you though.” Obi-Wan replied.
Qui-Gon nodded slowly. “Bant says the same of you. She is managing, though. She’s a knight now, and a good one too.” He said.
Obi-Wan smiled. “I expected no less of her.” He announced.
Qui-Gon didn’t react. “My padawan…you have not changed.” Qui-Gon whispered, still unable to get past meeting his apprentice once more.
Obi-Wan laughed softly. “Of course not, Master! No one grows older here. I am content as I am.” He said.
Qui-Gon nodded, taking that in. “Where is this place?” He asked.
Obi-Wan turned to look around. “It is neither here, nor there, and yet everywhere at the same time. It is beyond the call of time, beyond the realm of reality. It is the beginning.” He said cryptically.
Qui-Gon raised one eyebrow. “And that would mean?”
Obi-Wan turned to him. “That is what I was told when I arrived. I didn’t understand it at the time, but now I find it fitting.” He replied.
Qui-Gon accepted that. “I’ll tell you one thing, though.” Obi-Wan waited. “It’s cold!” Qui-Gon said, shivering. “It’s cold…and it does not carry a pleasant feeling. It’s almost frightening at first.”
Obi-Wan nodded. “It is. I remember coming here when I first arrived…and you were not here with me. That made it much worse.” He smiled sadly.
Qui-Gon wrapped an arm around his padawan’s shoulders. “I am sorry. But I promise…you will never have need to be alone again.”
Obi-Wan accepted that, leaning in to his master. “Come. It gets better as you go on.” He said, and they disappeared into the mist, their robes dancing around their boots as they walked, once again master and apprentice.

Thank you Detta! No, I'm afraid that's all I have. Hope it was satisfying.
