The five followed Obi-Wan up the mountain. They finally caught up with him when he began to walk. Qui-Gon grabbed Obi-Wan's shoulders so he couldn't go any further.

Obi-Wan turned and looked at him hurt covered his face. "What? What did I do? Why did you grab me like that? It hurt."

Qui-Gon let go. What happened to the happy boy who they were following. "I'm sorry. You were just going to fast. I didn't mean to be so rough."

A smile lit the boys face as though nothing had happened. "Oh Okay." He turned and began walking again.

"What was that all about?" Bant asked.

Garen had his theories. "He's going though all his emotions. Happy, calm, irritated, playful, now upset. Like its a cycle and before when he ran up the mountain it could have been curiosity..."

Qui-Gon nodded. "Makes sense to me. I mean-"

"Or..." Garen interrupted not listening. "Or his mood changes with each place he goes to and with each person he interacts with." He snapped his fingers as though he was a genius.

"Possibly." Mace said Catching on. He had thought that too. But now that Garen mentioned it. It could be very well correct. "We should keep an eye on him though.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Garen ran next to Obi-Wan. "Where we going?"

Obi-Wan looked at him like he had lost him memory. "You don't remember? You five entered my mind so you could get rid of the dream." He was his old self again.

Now Garen was really confused. "Oh right. .well I meant like... what's it called?" He didn't want to look like an idiot.

Obi-Wan smiled lightly. His usual smile. It's just a place where you can see him."

"'Him'?" Garen asked curious. Obi-Wan had told him about his dream many times. He could only assume he meant the guy in his dream. Garen nodded and continued walking next to Obi-Wan.

Finally after a few minutes they came to a tall mirror it was bluish crystal and very decorative.

The younglings felt a flow of relief come from the three masters. Bant and Garen looked at the masters "This is what we were looking for. We just have to enter and we'll see what is going on." Mace said.

"Hellooo?" Obi-Wan knocked on the glass. He peered into the glass as though to see if anyone were coming. The mirror showed no reflection.

The master's held their breath. "Okay.. not the kind of mirror we thought it should be."

Obi-Wan turned. "No one's home we'll have to come back later." He was back to his weird self again. He smiled and took Qui-Gon's hand. "Let's play in the meadow again."

He started dragging Qui-Gon but the man pulled Obi-Wan to him. "Obi-Wan we have to go in there."

Obi-Wan looked a him like he was crazy. "No one can go in there but him." Obi-Wan said looking as Mace went to try and enter through the mirror. He had a reflection unlike Obi-Wan.

He was about to push his way through when... "Can I help you?"

The six looked over to the shadows and saw Obi-Wan, only his skin was gray and his eyes were pure white.

"There you are!" Obi-Wan went forward but didn't go to him. He seemed almost nervous. He seemed as though he were pretending to be happy to see him.

"What do you mean? You yelled at me to 'get lost' earlier." He scowled and Obi tensed.

"Obi-Wan who is this?" Master Yoda said looking serious.

Obi-Wan turned to him. "What do you mean you know him you just said his name."

Qui-Gon stopped short. This was Obi-Wan? "But I thought You were Obi-Wan."

"I am Obi." The boy said.

The darker Obi-Wan came forward. "He is Obi. I am Wan."

Qui-Gon started. "I don't understand how are there two of you?"

"I got out of the mirror. He couldn't go in. So we have to be together." He looked at Obi who looked away almost cowering.

"Why couldn't he go in? He should be able to." Mace said.

"Because I got out with out him going in. I was his reflection. Without a reflection you can't go in. He can only enter if I'm in there."

"Then why don't you stay there?" Garen asked.

"Because I don't want to. He'll become the reflection and I'll be free."

Obi was hiding behind Qui-Gon now, like a small child. Now he knew why the boy was so afraid of this creature. It was trying to take over his mind.

Wan smiled. "And so you know, you can't leave either. I've closed the mind off. I'm taking his mind once and for all! You thought you could suppress me. No you just locked the mirror when I was in it. Well I got back out. It wasn't that hard. You can't stop me." He ran forward and grabbed Obi. He ran for the mirror but Qui-Gon grabbed Obi from his grasp. He fell into the mirror and became the reflection once more. But then he turned and ran into the mirror's depths.

They had to stop him before Obi-Wan really lost his mind.
