Two - Lyra
BIG DISCLAIMER LOOK HERE- I don't actually own Star Wars. Can you believe it? I only own the OCs and the sassy comebacks they spit out. -_- In reality, Lyra is one of my friends OC's, and she writes these chapters. So I only own Kieran. :)
Today has been a long day, time seemed to slow down with each minute.
It was painstakingly normal as well. I went to the library, did all of my work, helping citizens and Jedi with the archives and organizing the shelves. As always.
But something had been on my mind. In my quarters, I collapsed on my bed. Something odd had happened today.
I never forget a face, let me credit myself on that. At the library around noon, we had a familiar face and a new one. Master Kenobi and a strange girl. She had sat right next to him as he scanned something and talked to the analysis droids. Then they had walked off and flew away.
This girl… Master Kenobi must trust her. Yet, the first time I've ever met her, I got an evil look from her.
I think back to what happened there. She must hate me… and why? I sigh. This is not going anywhere, it never was. Reluctantly pulling myself up, I stroll to the door. I could train some more with my Master… I walk towards the library and see her at her desk.
"Hello!" I say cheerfully. She looks up at me, her eyes jaded, but her smile bright. Jocasta Nu. The Jedi Who Knows Everything.
"Lyra? I believe we trained yesterday…unless that is not what you came for?" she says looking at her planner.
"Oh, no! I did come here for some extra training, if you have the time?" I stretched my arms.
"Ah… you finally decided to come out of your prison decorated with a pethosk and some paintings?" she says and smirks.
"Hey… watch it." I say and she smiles bleakly.
"Alright. Come over here," she says and gets up. "Let's go to the training room, shall we?"
It's a big honor to be her apprentice. Apparently, she's very picky about who she educates. I'm grateful to have passed her test.
I nod. We walk towards the training room and find Ahsoka there.
"Ahsoka, you're here?" I ask. She turns around and smiles when she sees us.
"Hey, Lyra! Hey Master Jocasta," she waved, turning off her twin sabers.
"Oh, do you need this room? Do you want me to leave?" She asks and starts getting her stuff together.
"It's ok, you can train with Lyra," Master says. She nods dutifully and we get ready.
"Alright. Let's get started. First, we will meditate a bit. I brought some rocks that you will lift as a warm-up." She says the things we always do. We nod. Ahsoka and I get on the chairs and cross our legs. I close my eyes and focus. I clear my mind and focus on the rock. Slowly, I feel them lifting. It's like I'm reaching out with my hands, lifting it up with some intangible strength.
"Good." Master Jocasta says. I slowly drop them to the ground and open my eyes. Ahsoka did the same, though hers were significantly higher than mine. I supposed training under Skywalker had its perks.
"Good. Now, let's move on." We started training, and it went on for hours. Ahsoka was without doubt much better than me, but I was doing better than usual.
"Okay, that was good. I think we're done." Master said and she piles the rocks into the corner of the room.
"I'm going to go back to my dorm. Bye Lyra, bye Master Jocasta." Ahsoka says. I wave at her. Master Jocasta stands there for a minute, and I get concerned.
"Master?" I ask.
"Lyra. Come with me to the library." She says.
"Yes, of course!" I say and get excited.
"Hey… you've been to a library before, calm down." She says and smirks. I growl.
We head to the library and see Obi-Wan. We walk towards him, and I notice the new girl next to him. Oh kriff. Master Jocasta starts discussing something with him, and I glance at the girl. She scowls at me and goes back to her drawing. Oh wow. I overhear Master Kenobi saying something about a planet, and I look up at him.
"Are you having a problem. Master Obi-Wan?" Jocasta asks smiling.
"Ah… um… yes." he says. "I'm looking for a planet called Kamino, I can't seem to find it…" he says looking at the other planets, trying to find Kamino.
"Kamino…" Jocasta bends over, looking around for it.
"It should be about right here," He murmurs.
My Master pressed the buttons to look for it, but it wasn't there.
"I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the system you were looking for," Nu mutters.
"Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete." He says. My master stiffens.
"If a system is not found on the records, then it does not exist," Master says, stiffening. She starts walking, and I follow her, feeling the gaze of the girl on me. I hear her talking behind my back. What is she saying now? I overhear her saying something, and I did not like it.
"You shouldn't trust the archives…" I hear her say. I tense up. Shouldn't trust the archives? Is she trying to make Obi-Wan not trust us? I suddenly stop without realizing it.
"Lyra? Everything alright?" Master Jocasta says.
"Ah! Yes, everything's fine." I say and start walking again. She stares at me a moment and then keeps walking. What is with that girl…?
A/N: The build-up is a little slow, I must admit. I promise it will get more intense soon, this is just developing the characters for now. Thanks for reading!
