Fallen
Why?
The young Master wonders as he looks out the window of the rising shuttle, away from their destination, back toward the grounds where a battle raged. Where there lie the fallen.
Why did they come for him?
For his padawan, it was easy to explain away the action. The same went for the reckless young senator that accompanied him, forbidden feelings filling the air between them.
But why him? Why risk – and lose – the lives of so many… for one, simple Jedi, slated for execution?
Obi-wan glances at Master Yoda and sighs quietly in regret.
They had all fallen.
