The Hardest Lesson - Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan - JA

Maybe I should start writing haiku - for practice. >>

Just remember, Cyn: the structure refers to *Syllables,* not *chapters*

Hehehe

-Tim (one day I will catch up on AUF...LOL)

 

Ok I'll be the first to admit it Cynical,I was completely wrong! Even with your PG rating you were able to describe our Obi in an absolutely breathtaking way!

 

Just remember, Cyn: the structure refers to *Syllables,* not *chapters*

AHEM. Tim - at the risk of being accused of repeating myself (See post on RRK's board for the reference) suddenly, everyone's a smart a--.

OH, well, in the words of someone who is ordinarily not my favorite Jedi, maybe I should just be content to live in the moment - and accept my shortcomings (or longravings) as the case may be.

Oh, no - now I'm actually coining my own words. Can Finnegan's Wake be far behind?

Ciao, All.

 

Long-winded you may be, CYN , but I love you for it.

 

To quote Obi-Wan: "Wow!" What a tangled web you are weaving. Tie it up in eight or nine posts? If you say so. Although I wouldn't mind if it kept going (as long as you kept up with AUF.)

Important lesson of the the day. Don't take any of Cyn's writings to work. Even PG it is too dangerous. It's hard to explain to people how hard you are working with a silly grin on your face.

I had great faith that you would write something just as wonderful, beautiful and filled with the same stunning imagery as AUF.

Then you knew better than me - and why the heck are you over here when you should be writing, writing, writing, til your little fingers fall off. You can't leave us hanging, you know!

Sure I can. Hey! I can take a break. Read a little fic and wish I could write with half the lush detail you do.

 

Slowly, the final post number grows.

I may be dying not being able to read AUF, but this certainly will suffice until then

 

You could keep this one up for a long while, and I think you would have quite a few content readers...

Any Cyn story is a good story after all!

Eagerly awaiting more- as always.

 

No complaints from me if you coaud extend it well beyond the expected number of chapters.

Tella seems like a very headstrong and dominating young woman. Could her sister be more pliable to certain individuals at court?

 

LOL!! I love Obi and Qui's silant convo!

Tell me...was having a "diabolical imagination" something derived from a fan's review? It fits you to a tee!

Why keep such a fantastic and addictive story down to an anemic 6-9 posts? Come on...you know you want to make it longer...

 

*waves hand* You can make it longer and you will make it longer.

*Doesn't work* *sighs* Sometimes I wish I were a Jedi...

How do you manage to make your characters look so incredibly gorgeous? It's really amazing!
A very visual scene, but also filled with a slightly growing tension. I certainly don't want to be around when it all comes out!

*ducks before the explosion but keeps her eyes wide open to read the next post*

 

Oh, some major foreboding in that scene. Why do I think it has something to do with the princess?

Obi will be guarding her, so I can only guess that something terrible will happen to her and he will blame himself. I'm a terrible pessimist, I hope i'm not correct.

Once again loved the interaction between Qui and Obi. And Obi's 'WOW' was just perfect

Now, now, would CYN do such a thing?

HA!!!!

This is a bit late, but oh well.

CYN! YOU POSTED HERE!



Long is good.

 

"Wow!"

Ahh boys...always thinking with their hormones

 

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

If he'd spent any time thinking about it - which he hadn't - he'd have expected the grand ballroom of the Kyrian palace to be splendidly ornate, and extremely beautiful - and he'd have been correct. When the heavily carved double doors leading from the Queen's private quarters swung open, a wide landing was revealed, from which two curving stairwells descended, one from either side, banisters composed of wood turnings polished to an impossible gloss and festooned with racemes of exotic thick-petaled blossoms of deep crimson, and star-shaped blooms of cream and heliotrope stripes, surrounded by clouds of tiny buds of deep, luminous midnight blue, all set off by delicate deep-cut foliage, twined with wide drifts of pastel ribbons.

Below, the ballroom was a vision of exquisite design, sculpted of light and shadow - everything arranged to be soft and sensual, nothing harsh or sharp - from the gentle patterns formed by pulsing waters, illuminated in revolving drifts of rose and pink and lavender, in a grand fountain just below the balcony at the lip of the stairs, through banks of flowers arranged and positioned to capture the eye and relay it on to the next lovely display; from the gentle glow of candles strategically placed around the vast chamber to enhance the ambiance of radiance without impeding the flow of the crowd or the soft air currents that circled and eddied, causing flames to dance with its passage, through flickering torcheres standing just beyond the banks of arched, transparent doorways that stood open to the splendor of the night. The floor, a sweep of fine-grained wood, polished to a rich, golden patina, reflected light and color and warmth. And above everything, a scent reminiscent of exotic spices, slightly heated and concentrated by the flames of the candles to an intensity that caught and held the imagination of all it touched.

The music that wound its way through the room was soft and unobtrusive and endlessly sweet.

Having been designated the 'official' escort of the young queen-to-be, Obi-Wan stood well back in the shadows, out of the line of sight of the glittering audience gathered below, waiting for the entrance of the monarchs, both past and future.

With the rise of the lyrical trill of hundreds of bells, Queen Nemis stepped forward, on the arm of her tall, elegant Jedi escort, and stood - regal and magnificent - in the pale radiance that poured from hidden spotlights high above.

There was a momentary hush, and then a swell of music - stirring, almost martial in character, bright with brass.

To the sound of rising applause, the gracious queen, gowned tonight in a fine brocade as fluid as dark liquid, aglow with the inner fire of fine sapphires, allowed herself to be escorted down the stairs.

Obi-Wan was impressed with the splendid stature and noble carriage of the Queen - but thought his Master was equally impressive.

Beside him, Trell appeared very calm - but her gloved hand, resting on his wrist, trembled slightly - like a leaf touched by a breath of wind.

"Don't be afraid," he whispered. "Everything will be all right."

She looked up at him, and those glorious eyes seemed to refract light from every possible source - and he was surprised to see that her smile reflected only excitement - and a measure of mischief. Which was confirmed when she lifted her face, as if to whisper some small confidence - and swept her tongue around the inner whirl of his ear.

The apprentice went totally stiff as a jolt of . . . something he could not begin to identify, swept straight down his spine, before racing all the way to his toes - taking a few somewhat remarkable detours on its way.

Obi-Wan drew a deep shaky breath as the link to his Master flared into brilliance.

Obi-Wan?

Yes, Master? He sounded shaky, even to himself.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. Everything is fine.

Are you . . .

I'm sure. Don't concern yourself.

W

 

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

*semi incoherent mumbling from which a particular stream of invective followed by the word "cliffhangers" can be discerned*

-Tim

 

Very cold comfort indeed.

I do hope that Trell is not involved in whatever is happening.

What a web you weave, CYN. Here i thought this was going to be a first love, lost love fic. Too simple i guess. You've done a wonderful job with all the intrigue. Cant wait to see how it all unfolds.

Hurry with more
