Young Obi-Wan stood in the dark hall of the Viceroy ships. With his light saber in his hand he stood ready for battle. He prayed that his master will appear soon. He never like fighting alone, especially when he's still learning. Being only 14 years old, he still had much to learn. His muscles tensed, his feet planted on the metal ground as Droids appeared around the corner. With the blue saber poised, he held it up high and held his breath. Then he heard footsteps, he could feel his master coming...but who was with him?
Looking behind him, he spotted Qui-Gon running up behind Obi-Wan with a prisoner. The prisoner's skin was a deep red, her hair was pure black, her body was small and tiny. But what caught Obi-Wan's attention was her eyes. One was bright silver and the other was pink. She hid behind Qui-Gon who gestured his padawan into the room. Obi-Wan jumped and landed beside his master as the door closed.
"That was too close." The prisoner said with a soft, female voice. Obi-Wan looked at his master puzzled.
"A Mind Seer, the one we were sent to rescue. "Qui-Gon said, leading the way to the ship. Obi-Wan remembered, he and his master were sent on a rescue mission before Viceroy intervened. One simple mission turned out to be difficult. It was their job to keep the Mind Seer away from Viceroy. No one knows why, but Queen Amidala didn't want to risk giving the Viceroy any advantage.
But what are Mind Seers? Obi-Wan asked himself. He heard of many people with talents, but not a Mind Seer.
"I am Rainna, the Mind Seer."She said and bowed slightly.
We know that, Obi-Wan thought to himself. They ran to the ship and the captain began to start off.
"I'm Qui-Gon Jin. This is Obi-Wan Kenobi." Qui-Gon gestured to Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan smiled genuinely. Rainna studied his face for a moment. Her eyes turning light.
"You seem very familiar to me. Have we met before?"She said with a sense of hope in her voice.
Obi-Wan stared at her puzzled.
"No, we have not met."Obi-Wan assured her.
She shrugged."Oh well."
That was odd, Obi-Wan thought as the ship took off. During their trip, Rainna was silent. Yet her gaze remained on Obi-Wan, sometimes she would even follow him. Obi-Wan tested this concept about six times before giving up an staying put. The trip was long and enduring for Obi-Wan.
Once they reached the planet Naboo, Rainna continued to gaze at Obi-Wan. She stared at him like he was a whole new specimen never before seen. Obi-Wan feared that she would have a crush on him. He didn't have time for a crush, he was too busy with training and learning. Yet he could feel her gaze on his back. Following the guards he tried to keep his focus ahead of him.
They entered the Queen's throne room where Amidala waited. They stopped in front of the bronze chair where Queen Amidala stared at them. The Jedi's bowed, and Rainna copied awkwardly.
"I see you have completed your mission successfully."Amidala complimented, glad to see that they made it out safe.
"Yes your highness." Qui-Gon said gesturing to the young alien girl."Your highness met Rainna, the last of the Mind Seer's."
Rainna wanted to hide, she hated being the center of attention. She might be the last Mind Seer. But did he have to share that with everyone in the room?
"So I see." Amidala said, studying the young alien. Amidala debated on what is to be done with her."What is your name?"
"Raina, your highness." She bowed shyly.
"Are you a mind seer?"
"Of course...your highness." Raina felt awkward. She never had to bow to anyone before.
"Take her to the Jedi Coucil. They will decide what she can do and if she is safe." Amidala concluded, seeing that it was the Jedi's problem. The Jedi's and Rainna bowed, turned and walked out the door. Rainna's nerves were shaking.
Great, she thought, more people to meet.
Jedi Council:
"My powers are indeed strong." Rainna said scared of what they could do. She studied the expression of each Jedi Council Member. Reading intents was one of her special gifts. So far, each of them had plain backgrounds. Nothing she hasn't seen before. Except one.
"Such power, how do you use?" The small, old green one asked.
"I just...need to look into one's eyes...a-and I can see everything from their past."She stuttered."I-I can also see what lies in their soul."
"Can you show us?"The one called 'Mace Windu' asked.
An example? Perfect! She yelled in her thoughts. She felt excitement. She's been waiting since she first laid eyes on him she wanted to know. She wanted to know what he hides, why he appears the way he does. But most importantly, why does he look like her captee? The one who put her on that ship to begin with. Why does this young boy resemble him? Perhaps...
She turned quickly to Obi-Wan and pointed to him.
"Obi-Wan, I want to use you as an example."Obi-Wan was surprised. Perhaps that's why she stared at him. She was trying to read his mind yet he blocked her. But Obi-Wan wasn't the first Jedi she met before Naboo. He wasn't the only one with a brain in the room. So why him?
"Why me?"He asked confidently, trying to hide his curiosity.
"When I first looked at you, I could see immediately what lies in your soul."
"What could that be?"
She paused and narrowed her eyes at him. Obi-Wan wanted to back away, but he held his ground. Something he learned before Jedi Training.
"Pain, sorrow and fear."
