Ch. 1: The First Time He Met Her

Airiana awoke slowly, easing herself out of the wonderful dream she was having about Heath Ledger serving her a chocolate cake with chocolate syrup oozing down the sides. As she gained consciousness she noticed that she was lying on a cold, damp, paved alley. "So much for Heath," she thought, standing up.

She started to walk away from the main street and towards the back of the alley. As she rounded the corner she felt the force give warn her. Reflexively, Airiana pulled out her sword as a Rodian jumped out at her, dagger in hand.

Airiana had always thought Rodians looked like overgrown house flies. Spending some time on Tatooine, she was accustomed to them, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't stop picturing them as overgrown house flies. This particular fly was beginning to turn into a pest. At the sound of distant footsteps he made a quick jab at Airiana, attempting to move her out of his way. Airiana held her ground; she could sense his desperation and guessed he was an outlaw running from the local authorities.

The sound of footsteps got closer, Fly-man took another quick glance behind; she could tell by the look on his face that he was desperate to get the hell outta there. She followed his glance and saw two men running toward them. As the men got closer, his desperation grew; he told her to get outta his way. Airiana refused. Fly-man lunged once more, but this time Airiana side-stepped and hit him with the hilt of her sword as he rushed passed her, knocking him out cold.

As Fly-man hit the ground the two men came to a stop and took a second to regain their breaths. As Airiana looked up from the Rodian, she couldn't believe her eyes. Ben Kenobi was standing right in front of her. No, not Ben – Obi-wan, she reminded herself. And Anakin was with him, still human and still a Jedi.

"Good work," Obi-wan said.

"Thanks," Airiana replied, putting her sword back in its scabbard.

"Bind his hands Anakin - then comm the king's officials and let them know we've got him."

"Yes Master," replied Anakin, bending down.

Business over, Obi-wan took good look at Airiana. She was about medium-height, if not, a little on the short side, but strongly built. Her hair was shoulder length and chestnut brown, as were her eyes. Her dress, he thought, was rather strange. She was wearing thick boots with laces, dark brown pants, a loose fitting knit shirt, and a dark blue cloak. Not only was her appearance somewhat unusual, but her force presence was as well; she seemed as if she didn't quite belong here, but at the same time, she seemed as though she did. Not only this, but he felt as though he had met her somewhere before; he just couldn't place where he had seen her.

"Yes?" Airiana asked as she noticed the man staring at her.

"Oh, excuse me; I was simply admiring your unique attire."

"Oh," was all Airiana could say; she had forgotten what she was wearing. Then, as she remembered he didn't know her yet, she introduced herself. "My name is Airiana, by the way."

"I am Jedi Knight Obi-wan Kenobi and this is my apprentice, Anakin Skywalker." Anakin tilted his head as Airiana said a polite, "Hello." She didn't say it to his face, though. She couldn't, no after all the things he did, "Or will do," she thought to herself.

Airiana was about to ask what planet she was on, when she was cut off by two speeders pulling up; Obi-wan and Anakin turned their attention to them while Airiana took the opportunity to slip into the shadows; not wanting to be seen by anyone else.

Obi-wan noticed her go into the shadows, but didn't say anything; there would be time for questions later. Now, however, there was business to attend to.

After shaking hands, the officials piled Fly-man into the speeder and exchanged a few words with Obi-wan and Anakin. Airiana watched, mesmerized, as she thought of what she was going to say. She couldn't tell them the truth, could she? No, they wouldn't believe her. Even if they did, the less they knew the better.

The officials offered to take the Jedi back to the palace, but Obi-wan refused, saying that they still had some business to attend to; a few minutes later the speeders were gone and Airiana came out of the shadows.

"Would you like to walk back to the palace with us?" Obi-wan asked as the speeders flew out of sight.

"Um…sure," and Obi-wan and Anakin began to walk toward the main street.

"Do you mind if we take the back way? I don't wanna cause a scene or anything," Airiana said, looking down at her clothes.

"Of course," said Obi-wan and they turned around.

The three walked in silence for a few paces, then, Obi-wan asked, "So, you're not from around here?"

"Um…" How was she going to answer that? "No, but I spend a lot of time on Tatooine." Well, that certainly wasn't what she wanted to blurt out.

"That's my home planet. Which part are you from?" Anakin asked.

"All over, I travel pretty much."

"Ever been in Mos Espa?"

"No, I haven't," replied Airiana, hoping he was finished asking questions. Just as she thought her wish was going to be granted Obi-wan decided it was his turn. "Tatooine? That's a long ways off, what made you come here?"

Airiana thought about her reply a long time before answering; she knew that tone of voice too well. It was his 'negotiator's voice.' He always drove her crazy when he'd ask her stuff in that tone of voice.

As Obi-wan was about to repeat the question, the answer jumped into her head. "The force brought me here."

"The force brought you here?"

"Yes."

This wasn't a response Obi-wan had expected; it was some time before he decided on his next question. Before he got a chance to ask it, however, they reached the palace, so instead he asked, "Do you have lodgings for the night?"

Airiana knew he'd offer her a room if she said no and she really didn't want that. She needed time away from the two of them to relax and think about things; on the other hand, she did need a place to stay for the night and she felt the force gently nudge her towards them. "No, I don't."

"Would you like to spend the night in the palace? I'm sure His Majesty won't mind housing you for the night since you assisted in the capture of his gardener."

"Sure," Airiana said with a little smile. Ben had told her about this mission. The king's gardener was actually a member of an extremist political party that was attempting to assassinate the king and take over the government.

As she was remembering this, she had followed Obi-wan and Anakin into the throne room; the king had thanked her for helping catch his would-be assassin and granted her permission to stay the night. Airiana was shown to her room and given some supper while Obi-wan and Anakin reported the details of the chase and arranged for their departure the following day.

After eating, Airiana decided to meditate; she had a lot on her mind and needed to figure it out before morning. She sat down on the bed and closed her eyes. She could feel the force pull her in, engulfing her until it was the only thing she was aware of. She could feel Obi-wan's presence and reached out to it, but it wasn't what she was expecting; she had a bond with him, but he didn't have a bond with he; again she was reminded of the times.

This was when everything would change; Palpitine would rise to power, Anakin would be lured to the dark side, and the Jedi would be destroyed. She saw it all; she saw the start of the clone wars, the various battles, the people who died in them, and finally she saw that fateful duel between master and padawan. She had seen that last battle a hundreds time before; Ben had dreamed about it at least once a week and because of their bond, she dreamed about it too.

She knew it by heart, as if it were a movie she had watched over and over again. She knew every move both Obi-wan and Vader would make and everything they would say to each other. And then there was the end. Both Obi-wan and Vader were tiring. They were getting closer to the edge of a pool of lava; he lost his footing and started falling back.
