The Princess And The Padawan
Chapter 2
Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi was sitting in the Room of a Thousand Fountains in the middle of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, trying to meditate. Usually meditation came easily to him, he always had been good at those exercises in the Temple, but for some reason that he could not explain he was on edge today. He supposed it might have to do with his impatience to go on a mission again. Obi-Wan and his Master Qui-Gon Jinn had been in the Temple for a month now, and just now the desire to do something new was beginning to take hold.
Obi-Wan knew he was supposed to be content when resting as he was in battles, but he couldn't explain the extreme desire to do something. He needed a change, if only the Temple would finally give them an assignment.
Obi-Wan cleared his mind and drew in the Force using a calming technique. There, he felt a little better; perhaps he didn't need to go on a mission right away. It would come when the Council felt it was time.
"Something is disturbing you Padawan," he heard a cool steady voice say. Obi-Wan looked up to see the face of his mentor, friend and Master Qui-Gon Jinn.
"Yes Master," he answered, though he really didn't feel like talking about it.
"Care to explain?" Qui-Gon prompted.
"It's just that I feel we have been inactive too long. I feel like there is somewhere else I need to be right now, but I can't explain it," Obi-Wan said with a sigh.
"Jedi should not desire to be on missions all the time, but that is why I have come to find you. We have a new mission," Obi-Wan's Master stated.
"We do?" Obi-Wan asked startled.
"Yes Padawan, we are expected at the Council. Come," Qui-Gon replied.
The two Jedi moved quickly through the Temple and entered the turbolift that would take them to the Jedi High Council Chamber. They waited a short while in the waiting room before they finally entered the room.
Obi-Wan used to always hate going inside the Council Chambers when he was younger. Many times he'd felt very intimidated by the stares of the Jedi Masters, Mace Windu in particular. The more he went to see the Council however, the more used to being there he was.
"A new mission for you we have," said the small Jedi Master Yoda.
"Have you heard of the planet Solera?" Mace Windu asked. Both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan shook their heads in the negative. "It is a prosperous planet with a monarchy that has ruled the planet for centuries. Days ago however, there was an attack made on the palace in the form of thermal detonators. The royal family is fine, but they have asked for a Jedi Team to find the source of this attack and to keep their family safe. This will not be an easy mission," Mace stated.
"I accept," Qui-Gon answered.
