"Master?" Alexi said, looking at Yenshu, "What are we doing on this desert wasteland?"
"Use the Force and feel around you. What do you sense?"
"I feel.fear.confusion.anger.I feel.the Force?" he looked at his master in shock. "Someone else has the Force? Is it Xanatos? Perhaps Vader?"
"Ha, no my young Padawan. If it were one of them, then you would sense the Dark Side. That is definitely not the presence that is here. Use the Force to guide us to the presence. I will tell you if you are heading in the wrong way."
"Yes Master."
The two Jedi soon came to a small house in the middle of a rocky part of the Dune Sea on the planet Tatooine. They went to the door and found nobody home, so they waited on one of the taller rocks.
"Master, may I ask who we are waiting for?" Alexi said after a long moment of silence.
"We are waiting for my former Master. I was only his apprentice for two years, after my former Master was killed by his former Padawan, Darth Vader. He saved my life six years ago and I swore that I would find a Padawan and continue the teaching of the Force for him. So, I found you and have been training you ever since."
"So that is the promise you told me that you had to fulfill when you found me?"
"Yes. That was the promise that I referred to. Look, there is Obi-Wan now."
"This presence.it is so familiar.one that I have searched for for many years. Could it really be?" Obi-Wan thought to himself as he approached his home. He ran up the last hill to see two distant figures standing on a rock at the front of his house. One of the figures, the shorter of the two, started running toward him, arms outstretched.
"Master! I am so happy to see you!" Yenshu said as she came closer and hugged her former Master.
"Yenshu! I have searched for you for years! Where have you been?"
"Oh, everywhere. But, could we talk inside? There is much to discuss." "Of course. Come in." They walked side by side to his door and sat down at a rectangular table in the main room.
"Master, this is my Padawan, Alexi." she said pointing to the humanoid.
"Hello Alexi. It is wonderful to meet you. I trust that Yenshu is treating and teaching you well?" he said, putting out a hand, which Alexi reluctantly shook. To Yenshu he said, "This one is strong in the Force. I feel it in his grip. He will make a wonderful Jedi."
"Thank you Master Kenobi. I am grateful for the confidence you have in me, even though this is our first meeting." he responded, still looking skeptically over Obi-Wan.
"Alexi is a very critical person. He is also slow to any relationships." Yenshu said trying to cover for Alexi's mistrust. "It took him a few months to relax and begin to trust me. You must excuse him."
"It is fine. With everything the Empire is doing to Jedi and to trap them it is good that he is keeping a good eye on everything. But, I doubt this visit was to discuss Alexi's social habits. What is it that you need?"
"Well Master, it is about the Empire. The King of Alderaan, Bail Organa, called upon my Padawan and myself to help him." Yenshu said.
"Yes. He claims that someone named Xanatos is going to try to take his adoptive daughter away from him." Alexi finished.
"The King of Alderaan has introduced his daughter to Xanatos?!" Obi-Wan exclaimed jumping up from the table, his chair falling backward and hitting the floor.
"Is this a problem Master Kenobi?" Alexi asked innocently.
"Master Kenobi, could you please meditate on this while I discuss something with my Padawan." Yenshu said, getting up and bowing. "Alexi, come with me please." She said sternly. Alexi rose from the table with a guilty look on his face and followed his master outside.
"Master?" Alexi said, looking at Yenshu, "What are we doing on this desert wasteland?"
