Anakin stood in the council room and faced over the city. His mind was flooded with thoughts of Amari, he was however furious that she would leave him in the middle of the night like that. He stared out over the vast city with a sneer as he thought. He stood with his hands behind his back and he fingered the fabric of his belt.

Yoda entered from a small door in the back; in his floating chair he sat watching Anakin slowly. He was against the boys training for he was far too old when they brought him in and far too frightened. Yoda shook his head as he looked at the young Padawan. He could feel Anakin's frantic furious thoughts and he shook his head.

"Dwell on her too much you do," Yoda spoke breaking the peaceful echoing silence. Anakin turned around slightly surprised that he had not heard nor felt the Master approach.

"I know not of what you speak Master" Anakin replied as he lowered his eyes. There was a certain darkness about him that made him seem sinister.

"Lie to me you will not Young Padawan, see through you I do"

"I only wonder why she left me Master, why she did not wish me to come with her?" He spoke as he slowly walked over every step echoed through the near to silent room.

"Did what she had to, she did," Yoda said nodding.

"Then she does not want to be around me?" Anakin turned towards the bright city again.

"No, yet want you safe she does, however" Yoda paused and looked around as another young Padawan walked in the room and knelt before Yoda.

"Master, you have a communication from Mistress Amari," The padawan said as he stood and walked the small blue disk over to Yoda who took it and looked at it for a moment. He placed it into a small compartment on one his chair. Instantly a hologram of Amari stood before them in all blue.

"Master Yoda, as suggested by you, after much deliberation by myself I will be leaving for the Degobah system, I shall stay there for an undetermined amount of time, I need to collect my thoughts, Tell Anakin I will miss him" She then was seen hitting the button and the transmission ended.

Anakin's eyes were cast downward as he reflected on what he had just seen. He drew a ragged breath and sighed. He was suddenly over come with sadness. He started for the door walking at a fast pace.

"Anakin," Yoda called out as his chair faced Anakin who turned around with sad eyes as he looked upon the small Jedi. "Upset for no reason are you, Mistress Amari will come back soon, predictable the child is" Yoda spoke as he nodded. His chair then started towards the small door again and Anakin left into the hall.

Over the next few days the other Jedi returned. Lamari had been captured and sealed in the temple on Endor. The murmuring gossip continued, Yoda knew of what had passed between Amari and Anakin, and Obi-wan suspected. They met one day Yoda and Obi-wan to discuss the matter of what happened.

The room was dark for it was late when Obi-wan took tea with Yoda. They sat together in silence for a long time as they waited for the droid to bring in the tea. The moment the shining silver driod entered the room and set the tea out for them the locked eyes.

"I have a suspicion that something passed between Mistress Amari and Young Anakin, Master" Obi-wan spoke as he sipped his tea. Yoda nodded and looked around.

"Rightly suspected you have, Obi-wan"

"So is it as you have feared Master?" Yoda shook his head again and stood.

"A Jedi much longer than you Amari has been, what I had fear however it is not" Yoda said as he walked over to the small table which had several shining metal jars on it. He took an herb out of one of the jars and placed it on the table in front of Obi-wan who looked down on it with wonder.

"Master, why do you give me this?"

"Drink tea from its leaves your Padawan must" Yoda spoke as he nodded. "Forget he will about Amari if he does," Yoda paused and looked at the door and not long after it opened and in walked Amari. She held her head high and looked around the room slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she spoke softly as she took a seat near Obi-wan and watched Yoda who now hung his head. Obi-wan looked at her with confusion.

"Find it necessary, I did not" Yoda spoke as he looked down at his tea and the herb in front of Obi-wan. Amari had humbled Yoda.

"I had a right to know, Master," Obi-wan stood.

"A right to know what?" He asked as he looked between Amari and Yoda. There was a silence and Yoda closed his eyes as though it pained him to think of it.

"The Queen of the Human's that once lived on Degobah Amari's Mother was, part of the royal family there she is, Wiped out the others were by the Hutts," Yoda spoke as he folded his hands.

"I do not begrudge you for it Master, I only wish you would have told me" She spoke in an even tone before she left the room silently.

"Anakin told me, that you told him she would be back soon, I never thought that this sort of thing was the reason"
