Lin-San landed her ship near one of the many swamps that Dagobah was known for. She quickly picked her way through the brush and found a slightly worn path. As she followed the path, it led to a small mud hut where a tiny green alien resided.
"Master Yoda?" she said quietly, reaching out with the Force, attempting to feel the presence of the former head of the Jedi Counsel.
"A presence, I feel." a voice said from inside the hut. "Very familiar it is. Lin-San? You is it?" A small, green alien hobbled out of the makeshift door looking around.
"Master Yoda! It is so wonderful to see that you are still alive!" Lin-San ran and knelt in front of her fiend and leader of the Jedi Counsel. "The force has certainly been with you in these past few years."
"My heart is warmed by your presence Lin-San. Hurt are you?" he said, suddenly noticing the bloodstain on her tunic.
"Yes, a bounty hunter and I didn't get along very well." she said with a shrug. "I just need to have time to meditate and it will heal fine."
"Inside you should come. Heal you I will." He said, leading the way to his door. He brought her to a small room in the back of his house and had her sit down on the bed of leaves and branches. "Uncomfortable this bed may be, but good when tired. You lay here and I get you food and drink."
"Thank you Master Yoda. It really is unnecessary. I just need rest, but I appreciate all that you are doing for me." she yelled after him while leaning on the bed.
"Necessary it is. Injured you are. Need medicine and attention the wound does. Now, you rest and clean your injury I will." he said, hobbling back into the back room. He set all of the medicine he had on the floor and began to dress Lin-San's wound.
"How did you receive this wound, young one?" he said while finishing putting the gauze around it.
"Well, Master, I was on Retsam Way trying to rally the people." she explained to him.
"Rally people to what?"
"Well, you may find this rather silly, but, I was trying to rally them to start a rebellion." She looked at him sheepishly, waiting for his reply.
"Many rebellions, already begun they have, on different systems. Not yet yours, but soon."
"Truly Master?" she said, shocked at Yoda's knowledge. "Have others really begun? I must find them!" She jumped out of the bed and ran to the door.
"Patience you must have Lin-San!" he called after her. "Patience is necessary."
She halted at the door with her robe already on. "What did you say Master Yoda?"
He sighed and shook his head. "So young and impatient. Need to remember the ways of the Force you do and patience you must have."
"I am sorry Master Yoda. You are right, as usual. Please forgive me." she said with a bow.
"Forgiveness you do not need. Trust in the Force you do. Remember patience. Follow the will of the Force on your journey. Guide you it must. Calm you need to remain, at all times. Yes, you must do this."
"Thank you for your wisdom Master Yoda. I will let the Force guide me. Goodbye, and thank you again." She bowed again and ran to her ship.
As Yoda watched her from behind, he said to himself, "See her again, I will not, I fear. I see death and pain in her future. May the Force guide her." Then, he hobbled back into his mud hut to finish his afternoon meal, alone again.
