Hi again. This is pretty short and angsty. I'm trying to focus on Obi-Wan's personality here about the situation and what the Clone Wars have done to the Jedi whilst he is alone in his cell. I hope I got it right. Let me know guys, please. I really wanna know. Also, I will be writing Satine's situation next, and then back to Anakin and Ahsoka. I will try and make their characteristics and thoughts stand out as I continue to write. For now, please let me know what you think of this, thanks. Sorry for the shortness.

Chapter 10. Strength of one man's spirit.

Neither of the two women noticed the lone Jedi left behind staring at their retreating silhouettes.

The Jedi Master continued to let his perfectly sparkling azure eyes transfix themselves upon the now empty spot of which he watched the love of his life be torn from his gaze helplessly.

His chest tightened and his breathing wheezed as the powerful emotions he had always kept bottled and locked away inside of him came rushing out like a powerful wave across him, crushing his lungs upon impact. Ugh, the emotions that ignited the fire of passion in him to shield Satine behind him from every threat in the galaxy and hold her in his arms disturbed him. Why couldn't he ever have a moment of peace?

The Clone Wars. Why were they involved in the Clone Wars? Peace. Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice. So why were they slowly breaking every rule of the Jedi Code to once more obtain peace?

Fighting in a war was not a Jedi's duty. No. It was a soldiers. A soldiers duty to fight and bring fourth death and destruction and spill bloodshed. Slowly but surely the Jedi were morphing into warriors.

Sorrow clawed at his heart at the things he had been forced to commit; deeds he had done, deals he had made, decisions he had no choice but to make. And now, sorrow at failing to successfully protect the one person he's ever truly felt something special for. Why couldn't he save everyone? He couldn't save those he loved. He had been forced to watch people die. His eyes... the pale azure gems held shadows of what he had seen.

Qui-Gon. He had watched Qui-Gon be slaughtered by that Sith monstrosity while he, helpless as ever, watched in sheer terror as his master; his father's grasp on life slip away like a ribbon of silk through slim fingers behind an energy beam.

Now he feared he'd lose Satine. Having her slip from his grasp once was painful; but now seeing it happen once more, after finally just giving into his emotions, was twice as heartbreaking. As a padawan, he had been eager to learn and serve justice and peace. Whilst still wishing to continue this now, and being a tranquil, controlled Jedi Master, considered one of the most powerful, wisest and dedicated Knights in the Order, he was acting as he once was back in his initiate days: emotional, angry, and impatient.

Already he had displayed two of these dangerous emotions; he wasn't sure what would be next. Impatience was just a part of him, though controlled well, even he sometimes grew restless.

One emotion though was beginning to take over; and he didn't like it one bit.

Fear. Fear led to the Dark Side, which led to even darker emotions. Obi-Wan knew he was beginning to fear himself. His own actions, emotions and worst of all his vision of murdering Vizsla in revenge - a path which would inevitably lead him to his descent towards the Dark Side - could cost him his very self. A life consumed by darkness, where he would hurt the one's he loved most was not a path Obi-Wan wanted to descend.

He would rather take his own life than tread down that path.

This, among many in the Order, was known to be true.

He had to control his fears. For Satine, for Anakin, Ahsoka, The Jedi Order, himself, and most of all… the galaxy…

Drawing his eyes back up from his now bloody hands he had averted his gaze to earlier, he stared as if in a possessive trance back to where Satine had vanished with the ugly Sith Witch, he hoped someone would come soon.

He vowed he would not lose himself. He would not succumb to temptation. No matter what the next trial for him beheld, he would control himself.

He'd fight. He would not give up. In his mind he finalized this:

Obi-Wan Kenobi was a fighter. Obi-Wan Kenobi - once his mind was set - would not go back on something. He would take action and would not give up.

In Obi-Wan's book there was no such thing.

Ok, I seriously hope this is along the lines of our Obi-Wan Kenobi, if not at least accuarate. Once more sorry for the shortness, but as I said before, I was trying to focus more on him whilst he's alone. I have plans for Satine next and then Anakin and Ahsoka. Hope you still enjoy this fic and as always, please leave a thoughtful. It will be greatly apreciated. :)
