Chapter 14
Obi-wan Kenobi grew weary of fighting. The Clone Wars seemed to go on forever, with neither side gaining any distinctive or lasting advantage. It had been well over two years already, and there was still no end in sight.
His order to take Separatist worlds on the Outer Rim had brought him away from Coruscant for many months. He would do anything to just enter the Jedi Temple and meditate in the garden. His former Padawn, now Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker, did not seem to share the same ideal. He was always looking for a new fight. Unfortunately, this newest assignment separated him from his former apprentice. In fact, it was not really as much as an assignment as a recon mission. Recently, a Jedi exploring a newly chartered world had completely disappeared, and he was tasked with finding the missing Jedi. Fortunately, the planet was near where his original assignment so it was not out of the way. However, Anakin remained to finish the task they both had.
Obi-wan landed his craft and stepped out on to the planet called Terra. He reached out in the Force, to find any lingering trace of the missing Jedi, or any maliciousness in the area. He did not feel any malice, however, he felt a faint Force trail the Jedi must have left. He suddenly remembered the Jedi's name: Jedi Knight Kram Millah.
Kenobi followed the trail Kram left in the Force. Furhter ahead, though he could not physically see it, Obi-wan felt a surge in the Force. Deciding that would be where Kram was, he headed to it. Hopefully, he thought, this mission would be over soon and he could return to Anakin. If Kram was there at this Force surge, his mission would be over.
He knew it was not going to be that easy, even before he saw Kram was no where around here. While he spread out his Force senses, he slowly approached where he felt the surge from. He could not understand what was happening. In front of him was a small, wooden well, and the Force was seeping out of it. The Force truly worked in mysterious ways, Obi-wan thought. He knew there was only one place to go: Down the well.
He jumped in, using the Force to slow his descent. He landed gently on the dirt at the bottom. It was dark, but the light from the sky above allowed him to see his exit. He jumped up and out with the Force and landed in a green forest.
"This is not where I came in." Obi-wan said, very confused about what was occurring. But the Force had led him to this new world and he must do as he knew was right. He began walking away from the well in search of Kram, not even knowing if the Jedi was here. Within moments, he approached a huge tree. In front of it, stood a woman wearing a white and red dress, the white part on top. Her back was towards him.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" Obi-wan asked the woman.
Slowly the woman turned. She was old and rather large. She had grey hair and a black eye patch over one of her eyes. On her side she carried a bow and on her back a quiver of arrows that Obi-wan had not noticed before.
"Who be ye?" She asked, looking at him strangely. She had never seen the kind of clothes the man was wearing before. They were brown robes with an informal worn white suit underneath.
"Me be, I mean, I am Obi-wan Kenobi." He said. "I just came through this well and-"
"What? You came through the well? Ye be from Kagome's time?" The woman asked.
"I do not know any Kagome, I have come searching for another person."
"If you're not from Kagome's time, then when are you from?" The woman asked, sounding insistent. However, Obi-wan did not know how to respond to the question.
"Listen, I was guided here through the well, but I do not know where I am. Can you please tell me your name?"
"My name is Kaede." She said.
"Lady Kaede, if you could please explain where I am, I would be most greatful." Obi-wan bowed slightly toward Kaede.
"Please, come with me back to my village." Kaede said and guided him. "I think there be much for us two to discuss."
Author's Note: Finally, the Jedi you were all asking about is here. Except it's not Anakin, its Obi-wan. Sorry for the long update. Unfortunately, my comp decided to have a hardrive failure, so these updates might take a little longer. I will try to add more even without my own comp. Hope you continue to enjoy my story. Please read and review!
