Chapter 9
Ben ran as fast as he could out of the throne room. His uncle lied to him to. Carlton told him that they were going to meet his friend, and instead he took him into the palace throne room, and inside was the queen and, he hated to say it, his father. He didn't know where he was going. He was also holding back the tears that were slowly making their way down his eyes. He ran and ran till he found himself in a huge park. He plopped himself down on a bench, and the tears really came. It hurt so much, seeing the man that he dreamed of standing next to his whole life as a Jedi Padawan sitting on the throne of Mayim. There was a crash of thunder in the distance. He knew that there was a storm brewing. At that moment he felt like two different people in one body. He didn't know who or what he was anymore. Was he Obi- Wan Kenobi, Jedi Padawan to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn? Or was he Benjamin Nuri-Luka Jinn, Prince of Mayim? He didn't know. The tears wouldn't stop flowing though as the sky began to cry along with him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Qui-Gon Jinn followed the Force presence of his son. He ran as more memories poured out of the block in his mind.[i] The day that Ben was born. Him being taken away. Taking Obi-Wan as his Padawan. Obi-Wan running away. Finding out that Obi-Wan and Ben are one in the same.[/i] It was all to much for him to take. Thunder roared off in the distance. Fear pierced the Jedi Master/Prince's heart. Where was his little boy? The trail that he left was winding through a lot of streets. He hoped he could find him before the rain picked up big time. He ran full speed ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile back with Mace Windu
This really smells, literally. thought Mace Windu to himself.
The prison he was in was really bad. It was under an office building and was dirty beyond anything the underworld of Coruscant had to offer. There were beings from every species known to the Republic and of both genders. All in open, cramped cells. The cells were just large enough for a human of normal height to lay down comfortably, never mind an extremely tall human like Qui-Gon. And they were squeezing more than one being in a cell. But since Mace Windu was labeled as a 'dangerous' criminal, he was all by himself, with four armed guards surrounding his cell, and ysalamri in a jar out of the cell. He felt so sick. He didn't know what he could do anymore. From what he overheard from the guards, two Council members landed on Mayim a few days ago looking for him. He heard woman with long, dark hair, and a male troll with a funny way talking. His conclusion, Adi and Yoda. He only hoped they could get him out of here before scheduled execution in three days. His thoughts turned towards his main reason for coming to this planet. His best friend and his best friend's son. He hoped that Qui-Gon awoke and the father found the son. He only hoped.
