Author Notes: Thank you to those of you who have stayed for the continuing of my story. First, please comment and review my story as I want to know what all of you think. Secondly, I will be including flashbacks which I will use in italics. Hope you enjoy the story!
Nari landed upon the planet of Tatooine after exiting hyperspace and looking upon the planet's brown exterior. Pulling into the upper atmosphere of Tatooine Nari knew of the importance that was in the notifying of Saw Gerrera since his strike team was pivotal for the escape of those threatened by the Empire after the events of order 66. Without his strike team, many more innocent lives would be lost. Nari refocusing himself as he received clearance to land in the Mos Eisley spaceport. After walking off of the ramp and taking one last look at the ship and noticing the tracker that was on the ship, Nari knew that he needed to hurry for if the Empire was tracking him here then the troopers would be on his tail soon enough. Lifting his hooded cloak over his head and running into the spaceport he failed to see hiding in the shadows none other than the fifth brother hiding in the shadows seeing the frantic Jedi hurry to go into the town. Tracking the Jedi and seeing where he leads, but first contacting the Grand Inquisitor to inform the updates of the Jedi's landing on Tatooine. Taking out his holoprojector and turning it on he set the frequency to that of the Grand Inquisitor's Star Destroyer who in turn answered and the image of the Grand Inquisitor showed thus allowing the conversation to play out.
"Grand Inquisitor, the Jedi who you expressed to me has now landed on the planet here at the Mos Eisley spaceport while he did recognize the tracker on the ship, he did not disarm it as he hurried off soon after that."
"Very good Fifth Brother, I am almost to the planet and we will begin a planetary blockade soon after that to capture this dangerous group of terrorists before a rebellion could start. Follow the Jedi, but once Saw Gerrera is found destroy them all."
"Yes, Grand Inquisitor." Then with a click the handheld holoprojector turned off and the fifth brother went to follow after this Jedi, but did not realize that Nari was not the only Jedi on the planet.
Elsewhere, in his hut Obi-Wan Kenobi was sitting on the edge of his own temporary home eating some scraps of food that had carried him enough to last the week. Kenobi who had enough food to last a week for the rationing of his food made it clear that the less he was in town the better it was. The remembrance of why he was here on this desert planet watching the rising of the two suns before it was too hot to stay out and to retreat into the interior of the cave for the heat would torment anyone who was working within the direct light of the twin suns.
In the dark coolness of the cave being a relief from the heat as he entered and found solitude in this oasis away from the sun. Taking in the coolness in his temporary home, Obi-Wan wanted the safeness of the solitude of this space to escape the thoughts that dwelled of the past. His current predicament due to the fall of the Jedi and Republic through the corruption of his padawan and brother Anakin Skywalker. Since his thoughts were saddened as Kenobi thought back and dwindled on the "What Ifs" of what he could have done in order to keep Anakin from turning to the Dark Side of the Force he called upon to calm him and renew his mission of watching over the children of his brother who burned till death as the flashes of memories of Mustafar flashed back to his head. This caused Obi-Wan to shut off the Force to stop these flashbacks came through. Instead deciding now would be as good a time as ever to let his mind rest of weary laying down on his mat for a make shift bed on the ground to try to escape the pain that is the memories of the past dripping in Anakin's betrayal.
End Notes: I know that it is a short chapter, but it felt like a good place to stop. The next chapter will be longer I promise!
