Disclaimer: I don't own most of the characters (Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon etc.) we all know who they belong to. But I do own most of them (Keira, Tohulk'la etc.) so hope you all like it's my first fan fic so reviews are desperately needed to improve!! See!! I fixed it yay!!
"Good Morning everyone and welcome to the best interstellar travel in the galaxy! Please remain seated, as we are about to enter hyperspace travel in less than 2 minutes."
Startled Keira searched for her restraint but since she was not familiar with space travel, she ended up connecting the wrong ends to each other.
Obi-Wan glanced over at her struggle with the restraints, smiled then stood up to help her before she gets thrown across the room from the sudden lurch that always happened when entering and leaving hyperspace.
"Here let help you with that."
He said to her as he leaned over his seat to hers and started to untangle her restraints.
"I see how this might get confusing, what with it being your first time flying but, its sort of similar to the restraints that you might wear for a speeder, only more complicated, they cross in front of your chest like so in an X formatÉ"
He finished by pulling the straps tight enough so as not to cause injury but enough to hold her in place.
Keira only smiled thanks to him and resumed to stare at the wall.
So much concentration was put into that stare he thought she was looking out at the planet behind them.
But that was impossible; no human had X-ray vision, not even the Jedi who can concentrate their minds to do amazing things.
Unbeknownst to him though was the actual truth, Keira was unlike any recruit they ever had to pick up.
She had a power deep within her protected behind hundreds of doors where the locks can't be picked.
Only if she could master the different arts of concentrations would they open.
Also hidden away was a technique, a power far greater than any the Jedi, in addition more powerful than the Sith who knew about this side of the Force that cannot take a solid form but appear as one; could ever have imagined.
Their arrival to the planet was a long slow route but it was made in the course of an hour.
Upon their entry Keira had marveled at how large the planet-city Coruscant was.
She could not imagine how this entire planet was simply a large planet-wide city.
The concept of how the city runs as smoothly as it does now was just too bizarre for her tastes.
Once told that the lower levels of the city contain creatures unimaginable and mostly unseen terrified her.
These creatures were simply mutations of what had originally been there before the development of the city.
Some even, were once human but now horribly disfigured, their features chiseled away by the lack of light and chemicals that seep through the upper levels.
They took a speeder to the Jedi Temple, five, tall, smooth buildings with pointed peaks with the fifth being the tallest and more ornate than the rest.
This was where the Council was held. Keira, who was taken aback with the greatness and architectural wonder it imposed, seemed oblivious to the comings and goings of the crowd, she was soon lost in its shadow.
They led her through the intricate, twisting patterns of the Temple to the very top of the center tower.
Qui-Gon had gone ahead to see if the Council was to be approached yet, for their arrival had been swift.
He ordered Obi-Wan to stay with Keira until he returned with the Council's bidding.
Seeing as how Keira was enticed to wander off on her own, Obi-Wan decided it was best for her not to have a dilemma so soon.
Sensing that she was just about to wander off again, he called to her before she got too far.
"Keira! Wait! Where are you going!" he yelled as he jogged up to her, he was amazed at how quickly her gait was. She turned to face him and quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
"Shhh! Not so loud! I found something, look it's on the other side of the bulkhead, through the door."
"What? What did you find? I was not aware that there were wild animals about."
"I saw something pass around the corner then hide behind the bulkhead just a few minutes ago. It was small and had its nose close towards the ground, like it was tracking something. It had some spikes sticking out of it going along its back and head. All covered in this slimy material dripping all over it and dragging some long tubular item covered with blood. Oh it was horrible to look at! Please don't make me describe any more of it!"
she cried with mock horror, but Obi-Wan didn't detect it, just passed her to get a look at this "creature" she had described.
He ducked into the room brandishing his softly glowing blue lightsaber, deep inside the shadows he saw something that looked vaguely like the 'creature' Keira had described.
He approached it cautiously and careful extended his blade to it, closer, closer he got until he was within striking range of the object.
Just as he was about to strike at the monster it moved and jumped up into the air and covered his face.
He felt the slimy tentacles covering his vision.
The creature's tentacles felt as if they were about to rip his face clean off, until the lights turned on and he could hear the roaring laughter of Keira.
He threw off the mass of tangled tubing dripping with hyperspace coolant.
Keira couldn't control her laughter while Obi-Wan couldn't control his sudden blush.
How could he have been fooled by a tangled mass of tubing as a life-threatening monster?
He moved towards her as she moved back laughing, her face turning a soft pink.
She didn't see where she was moving to and fell grabbing Obi-Wan by his tunic.
They landed on the floor, he stared down into her eyes and smiled she looked so beautiful, if only he knew if she shared the same feelings as him.
She stared up into his piercing blue eyes that reflected her image; they looked searchingly in her very soul for something.
If only she knew if he felt the same way she did.
She didn't expect what happened next, as she gazed into the depths of his very soul, he very slowly moved closer to her.
She brought him in closer as well and then they touched. His lips had a spice on them unlike anything she had ever known. His was gentle but loving, warm and tender, he didn't want any harm to come to her.
She felt his comforting embrace wrap around her body like a silken sheet of love. He stared down at her features, he could see the pain and hardship she had suffered before they had found and rescued her from any more pain. How he wished to relive her of those past years of torment and suffering.
He went down further slowly closing the gap between them. He felt her reach up and pull him closer to her. Then they kissed. He felt her pain melt away, replaced with this moment of security, safety, happiness.
He felt the fire burn on her lips; it wasn't like the soft touch he gave her. He hugged her close, bringing her closer to him; he wanted to protect her from harm.
He didn't want her to feel pain ever again.
Not while he still existed will she ever feel misery again. Never.
Qui-Gon came out from speaking with the Jedi Council, he just told them that the powerful aura they had seen the other night had been centered on a person, the one they have brought back.
The prophecies were correct: One day before the second era of darkness, the Force itself will come and take shape of the leading power to tell of the coming of the One balance to the Force.
"Believe you do this woman is, Qui-Gon. But proof you not have" that remark from Master Yoda stung him in his heart, the Council had offered him a seat amongst the greatest of Masters that ever did exist but he repeatedly declined for this same reason.
The Council would never go for anything that was beyond their line of thinking.
Though Master Yoda might, he can't. No, he must set an example for the other young Jedi such as Obi-Wan.
How would the rest of the galaxy think of the Jedi if they suddenly went on whims every time they had some "feeling" as non-Force capable people say?
Another remark that particularly stung him was that of Master Mace Windu. He was an excellent lightsaber duelist.
