Chapter 1
325 days since the last time that I was out on a diplomatic mission with my master on Kalastan when he was killed by an assassin. I could faintly feel tears sting the corner of my eyes remembering that day. Taking a deep breath I push away those thoughts from the front of my mind and quicken my pace towards a small door at the end of the hall that led into a small courtyard with a small blossoming tree. With a small sigh I walked down the small steps and sat down under the shade of the tree and began to meditate. Not knowing how much time had passed I found myself being gently tapped on the shoulder by Master Fisto.
"It is time to meet your new master young one." Nodding I stand up and falling in step with Master Fisto quietly. The air started to fill with an awkward silence that started to make me feel uneasy with each passing second. "Everything will be fine Amira, Master Kenobi is a wonderful teacher, though I sense that is not troubling you now isn't it?"
I blinked in surprise and looked up at Master Fisto, how was he able to know what was troubling me? Then I remembered he was more sensitive to emotions than many of the other Jedi.
"I'm just a little uneasy about having a new master. I hear that Master Kenobi is a general in the war, going from peace negotiations to a war front seems a little intimidating." I say with an uneasy sigh.
"War is not easy to adjust to, no one can be fully prepared it or expect what is to come next. But I feel you will do just fine with Master Kenobi helping you learn and grow you, you will not have any problems." Master Fisto said as he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Looking up I could see the same reassurance in his gaze and smile, I returned the smile with a smaller one.
Rounding a corner I spotted a man with chestnut colored hair and matching beard talking with a clone in white armor with golden yellow markings.
That must be Master Kenobi.
I straighten my posture slightly to set up my usual poker face stance and add a polite smile to my poker face as we stopped.
"Master Kenobi, it is so good to see you." Master Fisto greeted the man cheerfully. Master Kenobi smiled and nodded to Master Fisto and returned the greeting. The clone next to him straightened to attention and saluted.
"It is good to see you as well Master Fisto."
"Let me introduce you to Amira Ballista, your new Padawan. " Master Fisto introduced me and side stepped just a bit. Looking up Master Kenobi I smiled a bit more and bowed slightly.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Master Kenobi and…" I started and turned my gaze to the clone.
"Commander Cody miss." Cody finished my sentence with a polite nod. Smiling I nod back and turn my gaze to Master Kenobi and notice that he had a slightly searching gaze as he looked at me.
"Yes, well we should get going, Anakin needs us to help him on Valencia. We can get more acquainted on the ship. Please grab whatever you need from your room and meet us on the landing pad." Master Kenobi said after clearing his throat slightly. I nodded and bowed again and briskly turned and went to go grab a few things from my room.
Obi Wan's POV
I watched Amira walk away quickly with a concerned look, she was to be my new Padawan.
She seems so innocent but why do I sense something dark following her?
"You sense it too don't you?" Master Fisto asked as he followed my gaze after Amira.
"She was there when Master Tauris was killed?"
"Yes, she was holding him in her arms when they found her. Ever since the funeral she has yet to talk to anyone about what happened. She locks herself in her room or is mediating in the tranquility garden, I am hoping that you will be able to help her open up and move past all of this Master Kenobi." I drew my eyebrows together in concern and stroked my beard.
"In time she will tell me but for now I do not want to push her yet I want her to trust me before that happens." I decided and nodded to Master Fisto.
"Do whatever you need to my friend I have faith in you. I must get going, the council is meeting to talk about the growing concern about the rumor of another Sith." Master Fisto said and turned to walk off. "May the force be you."
After he disappeared I turned and started walking back to the entrance with Cody right beside me.
Hopefully she will get too overwhelmed with the front lines, she looks very capable to handle herself in battle but something tells me that might not be the case, Ventress is making more of an appearance in every battle than I would like.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't hear Cody talking until I heard him clear his throat. "Sorry Cody what were you saying?"
"It is alright sir, I was saying that she is very quiet, it is a nice change from General Skywalker and Commander Tano." Cody repeated as they approached the landing pad.
"Yes it is, hopefully Anakin won't be jealous of our new friend." I chuckled and stopped short of the transport and turned to watch for Amira. Swinging around I was met with greenish-gray colored eyes staring back at me, I jumped a little bit seeing Amira silently standing there with a small backpack on her shoulders and her hands clasped behind her back.
"Sorry to startle you Master." She said in a quiet voice.
Blinking a few times I calm myself down and return a smile to her. "No need to apologize Amira I didn't hear you coming it is my fault. Now let us get going shall we?" She silently nodded and walked toward the transport where Cody was already standing inside waiting for us. As soon as I had stepped on the craft took off with a lurch causing Amira to sway a little bit towards me, she caught herself and shifted her weight just a bit, but other than that she remained quiet for the entire trip.
Perhaps this will be more of a challenge than Master Fisto made this out to be.
