	Title: What Light Breaks Authors: The Lascivious LuvEwan and Sir Spunky Spiritweaver Timeframe: Between TPM and AotC. Anakin is 16. Summary: The Duel of the Fates went a little differently. Both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon survived. This changes a few things. A/N: This is going to be a longer fic collaboration between the two of us. We posted a vig we co-wrote a while back and found we worked well together, so this came next. This was all done on google docs, which is awesome. Yay google! Thanks for reading! LE will be keeping a PM list, so feel free to join. Chapter 1 Standing on a balcony in the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan Kenobi looked out on the ever changing skyways. Speeders buzzed from place to place like distant insects swarming a succulent Muja fruit. Next to him stood his Padawan, who was already taller then him. Obi-Wan reached out and patted his Padawan's hair, which was worn in the standard style, trying to calm some of its unruliness. "Master, it's fine," the younger man smirked and ducked away from his hand. Obi-Wan sighed and straightened his own tunics. He was a little surprised the Council was summoning them for another mission, so soon after their return from that mess on Kaldonia, but every assignment was an opportunity for growth. It was a lesson he himself had learned, long ago, not to question. Obi-Wan was about to make a comment to whither his Padawan's smirk. He had told his Padawan that a smirk was not appropriate on the face of a Jedi, but the boy never listened. His thoughts were interrupted as the council chamber opened. "Master Kenobi, the council will see you and your Padawan now." The voice belonged to a young Twi'lek who was working for the council that day. Obi-Wan thanked the youngling and lead his Padawan into the chamber of High Council of the Jedi Order. He walked to the middle of the room, Padawan in tow, and was impressed, as always, by the opulent grandeur on display. As one of the few places in the Temple seen by outsiders, it had to uphold the image of the mighty Jedi Order. Obi-Wan personally preferred the simple and functional areas of the Temple, such as his living quarters. The two of them bowed, then stood in silence, eleven pairs (and one group of four) eyes staring at them. The proper procedure was do not speak unless spoken to, and Obi-Wan had drilled enough protocol into his wayward apprentice so that he was fairly confident in his ability to stay quiet. After a few moments of awkward silence, Master Yoda said, "Master Obi-Wan, Padawan." He nodded to each of them. "Disturb your solace, I hope we have not." "Of course not Master, we serve." Obi-Wan replied. "Hmmmmm. Injured a Padawan has been. Complete their mission a team can not. Replace them, can you?" "Of course, Master." "Good. Rendezvous with Master Jinn and Padawan Skywalker on Mandalore you will." "Master Jinn? Master, perhaps there are more suitable teams to go on this mission." Obi-Wan said. He could feel his Padawan's white eyes on him, wide with shock. Obi-Wan tried to close off their bond, slightly. He knew his emotions were tumultuous, they always were when his old Master was mentioned. That was the reason that Obi-Wan made sure to mention him as little as possible. "More suitable?" Yoda chuckled. "Perhaps. Better suited? No. Go you will." "Master, please. I am sure there are others who know more about the local culture or --" "Excuses, you make?" Yoda interrupted. "If wish you not to go, speak the truth you should." Obi-Wan closed his eyes briefly. Of course he did not wish to go. He would rather recite a mission report before the Council stark naked than work side-by-side with Qui-Gon Jinn again. He had eluded contact with the man for seven years, and successfully steered his Padawan clear as well. Force knows he needed to live as an example to Den, which meant avoiding situations that threatened his calm. Obi-Wan could think of no bigger threat to his serenity than Qui-Gon Jinn. But a Jedi did not blatantly reject the mandates of the Council, especially in the name of personal squabble. A headache settled in his temples as he spoke, "I wish to serve the Republic, as the Council deems fit. If that means traveling to Mandalore, than my apprentice and I shall prepare to embark at once." Master Windu steepled his fingers and stared intently at Obi-Wan, eyes hooded. Yoda gave a slow, satisfied nod. "Notoriously militaristic, the Mandalorians are. Sense darkness coming, they do. Dangerous, it would be, for them to break our treaties. Act as diplomats, the Jedi must. Prevent this at all costs. The Mandalorians as an enemy, we do not need. Easing relations with them, Qui-Gon and Anakin were. Touring the capital, when a street gang attacked and struck by a stone, young Skywalker was." "A stone?!" Obi-Wan's Padawan, Den Pasar, blurted with a laugh. Every eye in the room glanced at the Padawan who suddenly looked embarrassed. Obi-Wan sighed and put his hand over his face. "Perfect, no one is, young Padawan. Remember that, you should." "Yes Master." Den dutifully said. "Imperitive that a team replace Qui-Gon and Anakin. Weakness to the Mandalorians, we must not show. Leave at once, you do." "Yes Master." Obi-Wan and Den bowed and exited the chamber. --- The sky had gone gray during the meeting and a burgeoning wind whipped their cloaks. On the walk to the hangar, Obi-Wan avoided the questioning looks of his student. He focused on exhaling his turmoil, breathing in peace. A simple mission would meet a simple end. Perhaps the...other team would take their own transport back to Coruscant afterward. He had already made a point to avoid all unnecessary interactions. The entire mission is unnecessary. Or should I say, our presence is. Release. Breathe in peace, breathe in-- "So are you going to tell me what's going on?" Den asked, voice edged with annoyance, or excitement. "I thought I was going to see a bantha fly past the window, Master. You, you, my Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were one step away from defying Master Yoda?" Obi-Wan shot him a sharp, correcting look. "I would not defy the leader of the Jedi Order, Padawan. I was simply," words left him and he sighed, aware of how quickly he had allowed the frustration to needle at him, "caught off guard." "Yeah, but caught off guard by what? Master, this has got to be one of the easiest missions we've had in months. I mean, Skywalker got sidelined by a rock? What's the big deal about a kriffing rock?" "Language, Padawan." Obi-Wan chided wearily. Who knew where the boy picked up the more...colorful aspects of his vocabulary. He did not approve of cursing, but of course he did not approve of half of Den's habits. Sometimes when he saw his Padawan he saw only the contrasts between them: Den was a head taller, his skin and hair a bleached-cream white, his eyes colorless but luminous. He said things that Obi-Wan would not even dream of thinking and carried confidence as assuredly as he did his lightsaber. Den believed himself anyone's match, including Anakin Skywalker's. With Den, it was easy to tell where his thoughts were. He wore his heart on his robes, and he had a look on his face of boredom. "Well, Master?" "Later, Padawan." Obi-Wan knew the moment he said it that he sounded harsh, the brief feeling of hurt from Den in the Force confirmed it and he sighed and kept walking in silence. --- Several hours later, the tiny shuttle was flying in hyperspace. Mandalore was almost three days away, which was part of the reason for leaving so soon. In such a cramped vessel, the cockpit was the most spacious area to rest comfortably. Den arranged his long limbs in the co-pilot seat. "Master?" Obi-Wan could hear the caution in his voice. Another of Den's attributes was his ability to bounce back quickly. Most of the time this was a welcome trait but sometimes, such as now, it was annoying. "Yes, Den?" "You didn't answer my question earlier about Skywalker and that rock." Obi-Wan sighed. "Den..." "Oh come on, Master. We are going to be in this ship for the next three days. You'll tell me eventually. Just give up now." Obi-Wan turned to glare at his Padawan, but he knew Den was right. Once again he sighed. He needed to stop doing that before it became a habit. "Very well. Its hard enough living with you normally but I know the next three days will be unbearable if I try to ignore you." "You know me so well, Master." Den said with a teasing smirk. Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and began talking. "It started, I suppose, when I was a Padawan. I was close to being knighted and my Master and I were sent on a mission to a planet in the Mid-Rim called Naboo..." -----signature----- What Light Breaks-AU Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon Anakin angst (collaboration with Spiritweaver) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29979222/p1/?0 You want an Obi-Wan epic?

	Oh...very interesting. You had me suspicious from the start that the padawan wasn't Anakin since you studiously avoided naming him for so long. But you did a great job making me second guess myself with the height and smirking. I like that upon first introduction Den seems to share some of Anakin's gray-hair inducing characteristics. Oh well, poor Obi-wan might not know what to do without a cheeky padawan. It will be fun to see how Den and Anakin might be different and how everyone will interact. Nice beginning!

	Hmm, a very intriguing start. Things between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon seem to be a little...tense. Though Den reminds me of Anakin - swearing, overconfidence etc. (poor Obi-Wan always gets the difficult Padawans, doesn't he? ). Can you please add me to your PM list? -----signature----- Ewan Mace:"Sometimes a Jedi's most important duty is to stand and wait. I presume you've mentioned that to Anakin on occasion?"

	Den seems to know what makes his master tick. I always love fics where I see Obi-Wan with a padawan of his own choosing. I take it Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon haven't spoken much since Naboo. This should be interesting. -----signature----- For Such a Time as This ( 01/17/09) A Shrouded Path (03/21/09)

	I get the feeling that Anakin and Den are going to hate each other when they first meet, get into a big alpha-dog type fight, then become best friends and run off and get into all kinds of Trouble while Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have their arguments about the past. -----signature----- "trickbind"

	Wow, I like it so far - I know there are several stories out there where Qui-Gon survives Naboo, but this one promises to be original. I like Obi-Wan's padawan - he reminds me a little of Anakin, but much more tolerable. Though I must say, Obi-Wan seems very stuffed up - someone needs to get him to loosen up a bit. Though somehow I feel Obi-wan will get all the loosening up he can take over the course of this story. Can't wait to see how that goes. Add me to the PM list please? -----signature----- When life hands you lemons, make grape juice, and then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it. “We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.” ~Teilhard de Chardin

	Valairy_Scot I too would choose the naked Obi-Wan. Always. Even when it isn’t an option. Glad to know you’ll be reading! ? EGKenobi Thanks! nada_smith Yes, Den is similar to Anakin in many ways. As we were writing this we talked about how Obi-Wan seems to be drawn to personalities very different from his own (i.e. Qui-Gon, Anakin) so Den was a perfect fit for him. Thanks for reading! GeneralKenobi7 Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon don’t have an easy relationship here. Then again, that doesn’t stray so far from canon does it? Thank you for reading. ? Master_Noi Yay! Glad to know you’re reading. No, the communication lines have definitely not been open between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon since Naboo. Will that change? Who knows…. Vivid_Scripts GoogleDocs makes the world go ‘round as far as we’re concerned. It’s freaking awesome. As for your predictions, I guess you’ll have to wait and see! Sara_Kenobi Happy to have you along for the ride. ? Obi-Odd13 Obi-Wan, stuffy? I haven’t any idea what you mean! He’s fun and fancy free! Thanks for reading! Seremela Since both of us are pretty inexperienced when it comes to OCs, your comment about Den is especially appreciated. He’s been a blast to write. ? Thank you for reading and replying! Chapter Two "...And then we were in the Royal Hanger again. We were about to make our way to the Palace when the Sith creature appeared again." Obi-Wan said, throat dry after talking for so long. Den's mouth had hung half-open during the story, and whatever color that existed in his pale face was gone. "The....the Sith" the word came out clumsily, a half-foreign concept, an extinct monster,"...found you?" He looked at Obi-Wan, mystified, as if he had never seen him before, "Did you fight it?" "Fight it?" Obi-Wan asked, a grin on his face. For all Den's quirks, Obi-Wan loved to wind him up. "I killed it." --- Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master, Qui-Gon Jinn were fighting for their lives, and for Naboo against a tattooed brute of a Zabrak. The Sith's red bladed saberstaff expertly parrying every attack the Jedi could throw at him. He was fighting on a small walkway, trillions of gigawats of power pulsed around them, they felt nothing but the calm embrace of the Force. It guided his actions and the duel was a stalemated. Suddenly Obi-Wan's master was pushed back and down to another level and it was two blades against his one. He did not spare a look for his Master, he knew that the Force would have screamed if he fell to the darkness. The Sith was moving faster now, Obi-Wan seemed to have him on the run, but something felt off in the force. Could the Sith be trying to seperate them? It was too late to question, only to follow the Force whereever it led. They seemed to be in some sort of an energy beam hallway. The beams were on a timed cycle and Obi-Wan did not make it to the end before the Sith. Obi-Wan and the Sith were separated by a bright red energy field. The Sith sneered at him and he felt a calming touch in the presence of his Master. He did what he knew his master would. He disengaged his lightsaber and knelt. The Sith's sneer intensified, and Obi-Wan briefly wondered if the monster ever smiled. His connection with the Force intensified as he pushed aside all thoughts of the past, the present and the future. He focused simply on the all-consuming power at his finger tips. His consciousness flowed through the universe and at that moment he knew everything and nothing. He allowed its healing power to flow and it reinvigorated him. He knew a moment before the force field dropped that it would. He quickly rose and ignited his blade and the attack continued. His Master did not make it to the end of the hallway, and could only watch as Obi-Wan fought. The duel continued and Obi-Wan began to get the upper hand, his moment of meditation made all the difference. He was focused and calm. He knew was he had to do, and that he would succeed. Parry. Parry. Slice. And it was over. The Sith was falling into a gaping hole down the generator core. Evil returned to darkness. He disengaged his lightsaber and walked over to his Master. With the battle adrenaline fading, he could feel the burn in his limbs, the sweat soaked through his tunics and dripping from his jaw. Qui-Gon briefly gripped his shoulder."Well done, Padawan. It seems you had little need of me." Obi-Wan stiffened."Well, Master, perhaps I won't for much longer." --- "You actually killed the Sith? You, my Master?" Den Pasar asked. Obi-Wan was amused at his student's attitude. "Yes, Padawan, I did." "But I've beaten you in a duel--" "I let you win Padawan." Obi-Wan said, causing Den to pout. "Fine, be that way. That doesn't answer my question though, Master. What's wrong with Master Jinn? You seemed very close." "We were, Padawan. We were." --- The previous handful of hours were spent in meditation, below the Hall of Knighthood. He did not seek out the Force then as much as allow himself to disappear within it, finally, to lose his human frailties in the everything-essence of it. The Force was with him, in his blood. Peace in his blood. It was Qui-Gon's soft voice that called him, "Obi-Wan," in to the meditation chamber now. He walked to the center of the room, his lone footfalls echoing-- although the Sith's defeat served as his Trials, he still could not quite believe what he was here to do. To become. Obi-Wan knelt. He did not know if this was a traditional aspect of the Ceremony, but his knees were useless. The sabers of the Council ignited in unison, pointed towards the floor. A luminous arc around his feet. This was the culmination of Obi-Wan's life thus far, from the day he was handed over to the Temple: a dark room, twelve streaks of light, and his own steady breaths. Master Yoda. "We are all Jedi. The Force speaks through us." He inhaled. His eyes were nearly closed and his other senses were clear as water. All the room hummed within him. He heard a trickling...whisper...he heard... Anakin Skywalker? Obi-Wan's heart quickened. Anakin was here...now? Why was he... Yoda's words pulled him back. "Through our actions, the Force proclaims itself and what is real." What is real. Yes. The Force. Qui-Gon. Talking to Anakin. "just...patient...." "Today we are here to acknowledge... "...almost over...." Breathe. "What the Force has proclaimed." He felt the gentle weight of Yoda's eyes on him. The Grand Master stood above him, wrinkles deepened by shadow, his green blade raised. He came to his feet. "Step forward, Padawan." He did. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee, Jedi" and he felt the air cut across his neck, the blade sear through his braid. Lightness. "Knight of the Republic." Master Windu handed him a familiar, grooved hilt."Take up your lightsaber, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight. And may the Force be with you." The room was abruptly filled with light. He stared down at his saber, now the weapon of a full-fledged Knight, Jedi Knight. Numbly, he clipped it to his belt. Another Councilor, Master Tinn, pressed something into his palm. His braid, retrieved from the slick chamber floor. He blinked, closed his fingers around the coiled length. Twelve years long. For twelve years he had imagined holding the braid just this way, for a moment, before presenting it to his Master. He blinked again; his vision was blurring. The Council members had filed out. He remained where he stood. "I believe congratulations are in order." He turned. Qui-Gon was smiling at him, his hand resting on Anakin's shoulder. The boy was wearing what looked like fresh tunics, his blonde hair shorn close to his head. Obi-Wan swallowed. Somewhere inside himself, he found a smile to return his Master. His former Master. Anakin Skywalker's Master, already, it seemed. "Thank you." Anakin fidgeted. Qui-Gon appraised Obi-Wan, still smiling. "I wonder where the time went. You were not a man a few days ago." "A few days can make all the difference, I suppose," Obi-Wan's eyes moved from Qui-Gon to Anakin, and back again. He realized, standing apart from them, that he was the outsider here. With his official ties to Qui-Gon severed, he could claim no priority over Anakin Skywalker. No, no, now it was quite the opposite. "I'm going to be a Jedi now, too." Anakin announced, obviously taking the silence as an opportunity to redirect attention to his own developments, "But I really hope my Knighting thing isn't as boring as this o--" "Anakin," Qui-Gon interrupted, and Obi-Wan wished there wasn't an undercurrent of amusement there. The older man patted Obi-Wan's arm, and it felt like a nicety doled out by a vague acquaintance. "Well I suppose we should be going. Things will be busy now, for us all." Obi-Wan nodded, watching his Mas--his former Master and the new apprentice walk away. "Wait!" They stopped; he briskly crossed the chamber. "I think this belongs to you," he said, very evenly, and dropped his braid into Anakin Skywalker's hand. For his part, the boy looked bewildered, if unimpressed. But Qui-Gon gripped Obi-Wan's now-empty hands and stared into his eyes. "Thank you, Obi-Wan." He chuckled, "Knight Kenobi." Obi-Wan squeezed in response, once, and stood back. "Master Jinn." As Anakin followed Qui-Gon to the lifts, Obi-Wan heard him ask what the big deal was. Obi-Wan's fingers lifted to caress the skin behind his ear. Nothing was there. Now he could be Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Force was with him. --- "So you gave your braid to Skywalker? Why?" Den asked as he fingered his own braid. "My Master never had any difficulty letting go. He walked where the Force pointed and would leap at a moments notice. In my youth, I had a habit of drifting from the present, focusing on that which I could not change. By giving my braid to Anakin, it showed my Master that I had learned this lesson." "What happened then?" "I did not see Master Jinn again for a long while. He and Anakin were adjusting to life as Master and Padawan, and I was beginning to spread my wings as a Jedi Knight. After a few years of solo missions I kept running into this annoying initiate with white hair..." -----signature----- What Light Breaks-AU Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon Anakin angst (collaboration with Spiritweaver) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29979222/p1/?0 You want an Obi-Wan epic?

	Aw poor Obi! Sure you're not supposed to linger in the past and all that, but a little remembrance wouldn't hurt anyone! But Obi-Wan will move past it, cuz that's just what Obi-Wan does. My opinion of Anakin usually varies drastically depending on how he's portrayed in stories, and I have to say, he's kind of an obnoxious little brat here. Though he's an very well written obnoxious brat. And I must say, I'm liking Den more and more - Obi-Wan's line at the end was especially cute, how he "kept running into this annoying initiate with white hair" I love how I've only known him for two chapters but I'm already in love with Den (And I'm usually a tough sell on OCs, so take that as a great compliment) Can't wait for your next update! -----signature----- When life hands you lemons, make grape juice, and then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it. “We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.” ~Teilhard de Chardin
