Hey y'all. Tbh, I'm getting sick of this story. It's just too long. I'm trying desperately to get it finished, so expect nine more chapters so we can end evenly with 40 chapters. I do, however, desperately need ideas for when Obi is 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. If you have ideas or requests, please please PLEASE tell me.
Next two chapters are planned out:
Getting Hurt - 17
Losing his Lightsaber - 18
Enjoy this chapter!
River Stone
"Padawan, I know this is late, and you turned sixteen a while back, but I didn't have your gift with me, so I'd like to do it now," Qui-Gon said, withdrawing something from his pocket and beckoning his apprentice over.
"Master? I really don't need anything. It's okay," Obi replied, coming to sit next to him on the couch.
"No, I want to give you this. Hold out your hand."
Obi did as asked and a small, smooth object was placed in his hands. Obi stared at it. It was a rock, worn smooth and round by water. It was pure black, but when light hit it just the right way, thin lines of red appeared, almost like hairline fractures.
"This is beautiful, Master, but I don't understand." Obi peered closer at the stone.
"This is a very special river rock, Padawan-mine," Qui-Gon explained. "Look closer. Reach out."
"It's Force-sensitive!" Obi cried when he dropped his shields and the presence of the stone, no matter how small, glared into his mind like a glow rod. "It's beautiful! I'll carry it always." And with that, the sixteen-year-old jumped up and tackled his Master in a hug.
...
Sorry it's short. And in reality, Obi-Wan didn't know the stone was sensitive and he received it when he was 13, but remember, this is an AU. If you haven't read Jedi Apprentice, then technically I suppose it might not be XD.
