-1 ½ years before-
The wasteland had become less of a blur as he pressed on the break of the Landspeeder. Coming to a halt and powering down, he parked the landspeeder alongside a hut hidden deep in the heart of the desert planet. The hut sat beside a small tree, almost a foreign thing to see on Tatooine, it looked burned and shriveled.
Taking a deep breath, Obi- Wan Kenobi entered the hut, not really knowing what to expect.
"Completed the task, have you?" a voice called out calmly. It belonged to the figure sitting almost center in the hut, his short legs were crossed, and he levitated ever so slightly, he was meditating.
The man who realized he was late tried to disguise his tone as he said, "Yes master. He's safe now."
"Watch him, you must."
"Yes, Master Yoda."
"Come Obi- Wan, resume it must, your training."
Obi- Wan silently made his way to sit across Yoda, it didn't take much to sense that he was carrying a heaviness within him.
"Something troubles the young Jedi master. Weighs on you, a darkness.", Yoda said almost sounding amused.
Obi- Wan pressed his hands into his knees, "I didn't tell Owen everything… I couldn't."
"Matters of the mind… or." Yoda's gaze pierced Obi- Wan, "the heart?"
"You warned me- and Qui- Gon about him. We didn't listen… now are he and our people are gone."
"Last of the Jedi, we will not be." Yoda said emotionlessly.
"You're not understanding…" Obi- Wan looked up at Yoda, starting feel flushed, "I've lost everything."
Obi- Wan was sure that his master couldn't possibly say anything to reassure him. He wasn't just sad, there was an anger that he felt tearing him apart.
Yoda held out his hand, pointing at his pupil, "Fighting the sorrow, you must not. Slave to fear, you will be… just as he is."
"Just as he was." Obi- Wan spat, "Was. He's dead."
"…Yes." Yoda slowly said retracting his hand.
Obi- Wan's frustration continued to grow, he felt many things, but fear was not one of them.
"Your impatience will feed the darkness, Obi- Wan."
"Aren't we here so you can teach me to contact Qui- Gon?" he quipped.
Master Yoda lowered himself to the ground and stood up "On Tatooine, your answers lie."
"Wait- you said you'd teach me!"
"I did."
"Well I'm here, and I'm ready!"
"You will be, you will be…"
Master Yoda made his way to the door and Obi- Wan called out desperately, "JUST HELP ME!"
The old man stopped in his place, not turning to look back at his pupil, he waited a moment before he spoke, "Lies on Tatooine, a path for you awaits…"
"Bu- ", Obi- Wan froze, something in the air was pulsating, he realized where it came from and looked at his master's back fearfully.
"Completed your training will be, when you walk the path on Tatooine… Awaits for me, a different path."
The master continued to manipulate the vibrations around his pupil and took his leave. Moments later everything returned to normal and Obi- Wan felt released, he quickly got on his feet and ran after him.
Yoda hadn't left a trace. He had disappeared in thin air. The landspeeer, and tree stood where Obi- Wan saw them last. Obi- Wan ran around the hut checking, falling to the ground in desperation he had finally given up. He let out a heinous, painful scream.
For as long as he could remember, there was an Order, a Council, a mission, and a friend… he had nothing. Laying on his back crying, he tried to close his eyes to find anyone like him on the planet, but the light of the Force had abandoned him much like Yoda… and Anakin.
Anakin
Hearing the name in his head, his heartstrings strummed a tune of anger, grabbing his head he let out another scream, this time releasing a wave a foreign power. Hysterical, unhinged, angry, and heartbroken, Obi- Wan couldn't bring himself to get up, not this time. He had enough even though it was his first day.
