Obi-Wan put on his visors, packed his bag on his back, put his cloak on his head and started walking. Just as he was doing the same thing the last 30 weeks. He has been counting every weeks since ─since that thing happened. Since his apprentice has fallen to the Dark Side. He remembered that day, that damn day... Watching the holo records of Anakin ─Darth Vader killing younglings. He refused to believe the one who killed them was Anakin. Anakin couldn't do such thing. Anakin wouldn't let him down like this. It was someone else, someone who has changed from all his veins, and will never change back again.

The wind was coming from west, and his body was resisting not to go along with the wind, it was a rough one. Suddenly, his attention was taken by a little figure. There was something at the door's slip. He looked up to see which door was it. It appeared it was one of the newly opened cantinas'. He bent down to see what was it. He pushed some layers of cotton and saw a pretty face. It was a baby, a girl. He grinned and put his finger on her nose, she smiled back. He was surprised by how she got her attention so quickly and so powerful. Surely he always sensed the people all around him while travelling, walking, even when breathing, but this time it was so different. She wasn't that so Force sensitive, she got the Force strong but ─different. He looked over to see if there were any parent-looking people, but he didn't see anyone.

"Hey, what cha' think you doing?!" shouted a Twi'lek man. He carried the girl with the swaddle and put between his arms.

"This baby," said he. "Does she belong to you?" A woman got away from the big crowd and get back.

"She's mine," the woman said. Her face was a bit away from beautiful, full with scars and years of failings. Her eyes were so tired, looked like she hasn't slept in a year. She had a cup of blue milk on her left hand and there were some deathsticks on her right one. Obi-Wan sensed through the force, read what she was thinking. He shouldn't have done that despite the fact he was supposed to be undercover. "She is my bounty." He thought who would put a bounty on a baby, but time was passing and every second was so valuable.

"You're lying," Obi-Wan said. He didn't intend to say that actually, it just came out of his mouth. Oh, great. He thought. Now I need to straigthen this too. He cleared his throat and continued on his sentence. "Why would a beautiful lady," he said the word "beautiful" with a little stress because that way he knew something will be different. "...want to spend her life with a such time-waster creature like a baby?"

She tried to cover her smile at first, but then gave up.

"You, fella," she laughed, "You got them insticts." Obi-Wan put a lying smile on too. Wish I cleaned my beard this morning.

She fell on the ground with the cup, and everybody behind her ran away a little, but then carried away with their life. He quickly ran away from the crowd and got back to walking to his house once again.

He chose this house carefully, he could see all Luke Skywalker and his little family was doing. You couldn't say that Owen Lars was happy about it ─some kind of guardian angel was watching over you all day, everyday. Also, the house had a moisture vaporator, it helped him with earning some credits.

He opened the door with his hand and got in. Once put his feet at the cold ground, he sat down on the big couch centered in the room, and put the little girl beside her. He walked over where he sleeps and where his clothes were hanged, he picked some of the robes he wasn't that much using and cut it off a bit. Then sewed a little and made a dress out of it. It looks like a dress, but it clearly is not.

He got back at the room and got the baby out of its swaddling clothes, and put the dress on her. It looked as lovely as the Padawans putting their first Jedi robes on. He remembered those days, those better days... When everything was at more peace and not any of the Jedi had to hide. Those times when they gather at the Temple, those times when he got tired of briefings. I wish I could get lessons of babysitting from Qui-Gon, though.

While he was picking her swaddling clothes, a thing dropped to the floor. He picked up, and saw a name ─probably a surname─ carved on a metal piece. He read the word "Cathelas", and remembered they were the heads of one of the most successful gangs of Tatooine, which he was staying away carefully.

"Zephyr! Where is this girl again?!" Obi-Wan shouted. After the long five years passed, Obi-Wan thought it was the right time of getting her as an apprentice. Since Obi-Wan didn't know her name or anything, he called her Zephyr, which means west wind, and it remind him of the time when he found her.

"Zephyr! I'm telling you for the last time!"

Zephyr shaked her hands at Obi-Wan, shouting "Here, here, Uncle Ben!" The girl knew Obi-Wan as Ben because Obi-Wan preferred not to tell his normal name, it was still dangerous to let people know he was here.

"Zephyr, we need to talk immediately." Zephyr's eyebrows went down.

"What is it?" Obi-Wan said:

"Sit down before me." and guided his hand. As Zephyr sat down, Obi-Wan made his legs as a cross and sat down aswell.

"Zephyr. When I found you, I sensed your strong connection towards the Force. Don't be scared, just make yourself remember these are not good days for the little of us, but as long as you listen and do as I say, I know we will get through this too. I'm not saying it will be easy, but I can tell you it will worth it. Right now, and here, I demand you to be my apprentice." Obi-Wan said. Zepyhr's eyes got filled with tears, but she resisted to cry because she had to be strong. So strong that she would even surprise him.

"Of course, I do," she said. "Master."
