    *************************************************************

    The metal felt cool in his hand. A feeling almost forgotten after
    six months on the desert planet. Six months since everything he'd
    ever known, everything he'd ever loved had been destroyed. Six
    months since the apprentice he loved as a brother, turned against
    him and his training and became the apprentice of the most powerful
    man in the galaxy. Six months since the beginning of his new life
    watching over the boy who was to be the future of the Jedi. The
    future's only hope against the Empire.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi fought to push those thoughts behind him once more.
    He found he focused on them too often. Yes, it was easy to do on
    this unforgiving world, where the climate was harsh and the days
    were endless. There was too much time to think and reflect. Too
    much time to dwell in memories that he couldn't change. So he held
    the cylinder shaped metal in his hands, wishing for memories of
    another time. A time when he was an apprentice. The days before
    the darkness suffocated the galaxy.

    The metal he held was the hilt of a light saber that was so familiar
    to him. Not his own. Not that of his apprentice. This was the one
    that belonged to his master. His mentor. The man who'd trained him
    and raised him for those many years. This was the saber of Qui-Gon
    Jinn. The saber that Qui-Gon had carried with him for as long as Obi-
    Wan could remember. He'd taken it as his own immediately following
    his masters death. Keeping it close as a reminder of all that Qui-
    Gon had taught him.

    He rolled it around in his hands. Running his fingers across the
    smooth edges where black met silver. He began to lose himself in
    memories of happier days when a voice interrupted him. A voice he
    knew so well. One he found himself longing for.

    "I didn't know you had kept that. Although I must say, I'm glad you
    did. I spent many months constructing it when I was younger.
    Master Dooku chastised me many times for being so concerned with it."

    Obi-Wan looked up as he always did when Qui-Gon spoke to him from
    the Force. Habit, he supposed since he wasn't exactly sure where
    the voice came from. "Master?"

    "Still surprised to hear my voice, aren't you?"

    "Yes, Master. I struggled to put your death behind me and now?you're
    here."

    "I will always be here, Obi-Wan."

    "I'm glad, Master. It's so quiet here. It's nice not to be
    completely alone." He continued to play with the saber, his hands
    unconsciously tightening around the metal as Qui-Gon spoke. "I kept
    several of the items that I knew to be important to you. I could
    let go of my grief, but I couldn't let go of you completely. Anakin
    used to tease me when he was younger. He'd say that my face changed
    when I was thinking about you. That a knot inside of me would
    loosen."

    "You did have many knots, Padawan. I was pleased to see that you
    had become less uptight as you matured. You allowed yourself to
    have fun once in a while."

    Obi-Wan smiled. "Anakin and I made a good team, Master. Until?"

    "You had no control over his final decision, Obi-Wan. No amount of

    I really liked how Qui-Gon was able to help Obi-Wan see Anakin's turn was not his fault.

    And it's really sweet that Obi has held on to some of Qui-Gon's things.

    But who are the 2 Jedi? Friends or Foe?

    Nice Job!!

    Welcome back, Obi the Kid! [:D]

    "He'd say that my face changed when I was thinking about you. That a knot inside of me would loosen."

    Oh, I can see that happening so well. I love Qui-Gon's telling Obi-Wan that his compassion is what draws him to the light. [face_love] Ivery much look foward to seeing where this goes and discover who these other Jedi might be. If you do PM updates, might I ask to be included on the list. :)

    Yes, welcome back. I really enjoyed this. Loved that Obi-Wan still had Qui-Gon's saber and cherished it. Poor guy, he's so alone with his guilt but at least he now has someone to be with, someone he loved.

    Great job.

    Thanks guys! And thanks for the welcome back. Feels good to be back in the world of Obi and Qui again. :D I don't do PM updates, BUT there is a follow up to this story (surrounding those 2 mystery Jedi) which I hope to post soon. It's called 'Devotion.' If all goes well, I'll post it this weekend sometime.
