Chapter 5: Missing 20.79-20.67 B.B.Y, (2 months later)
It was not even a week later after our intimate conversation on Naboo that Obi-Wan was deemed unneccesary by the Jedi council for proper protection for myself and was transported to lead the Republic in battle on the small, Outer rim planet of Jabiim. Anakin was called there around the same time and I heard the battle went on for a whole two months by Senator Organa via the HoloNet. We sat on the lounge seats of my Coruscant loft after the daily Senate hearing had concluded along with a young, auburn haired Mon Mothma and the now distinguished Jar Jar Binks.
"Deesa battle on Jabiim been goin' bombad, Senators!" the usually jubilant Gungan exclaimed to the three of us with a half hearted sigh.
The regal voice of Mon Mothma, voice of Chandrilla, resounded off the wall as if she were speaking to the entire Senate, filling the room, "This has been the worst battle to date. I hope it does not go on much longer. I do not like that it seems like a playground for the Chancellor to try out his new AT-AT walkers at the expense of clone trooper lives."
Bail Organa spoke more casually than the previous senators, "I'm honestly more worried about the increasing security measures Palpatine has taken over the past few months; I hope it doesn't have to go much further!".
"As am I, Bail, for the sake of the Republic and democracy." We all bowed our heads in agreement to the two statements in unison as I looked out the window that overlooked the distant Jedi temple. Jar Jar noticed what I tried to subtlety look at and asked if I was wondering how the Jedi generals were doing, since we obviously had a history with particular Jedi.
"Unfortunately, I heard word of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi perishing most recently, though they haven't found his body." The moment I heard the words out of the Alderaanian's mouth it took all of my will power to keep my composure from failing me. The great Obi-Wan, dead? It couldn't be! As great of a Jedi Anakin was becoming, he was his master and taught him everything, and was so wise and experienced with the force. My heart for the rest of the conversation felt like a rope was pulling on it more and more until finally, when Mothma and Organa left and only Jar Jar remained, I could only hold tears at bay in my eyes.
"Awhhh Senator! Yousa should have some hope, after all, deesa Republic never found him!" I softly patted the tall humanoid on the shoulder and bowed my head in grief, only being able to think of how Anakin would take the news and sincerely pray that the news wasn't true, for his sake...and mine.
