*~*Master's Words*~*


1.



Obi-Wan walked down the halls of the Jedi Temple.
He was a young 15 year old boy with short sandy brown
hair, that was cut in the normal Jedi Padawan fashion
with a Padawan braid. He was still growing his Padawan
braid in. It was not quite as long as it should have
been, but it was getting there. He was wearing the
normal Jedi tunic and cloak, which was what all the
other Apprentices, Knights, and Masters wore.

He was worried as he walked down the hallway to
the spaceport of the Temple. He was worried about
Qui-Gon Jinn, his Jedi Master and good friend. Qui-Gon
had left him behind a week ago to go on a solo mission
for the Temple. He was suppose to return today. But
Obi-Wan was worried that he was not coming back. He
had a bad feeling about the mission from the beginning
and had hoped that Qui-Gon would not have gone on it.
At least not without him. But he did leave, and
without him. Obi-Wan sighed in thought.

Obi-Wan made his way to the spaceport. He pressed
a small green button to open the doors. They opened
with a hiss, he then stepped through them and stood on
the plateform. It hurt his eyes when he first stepped
outside, but they adjusted quickly. He looked up and
saw several small and big ships flying above and
around the Jedi Temple. He wondered if the ship
Qui-Gon was in was coming soon? But he didn't know. He
now only had to wait. Wait for Qui-Gon to return. The
only thing he wanted to know was 'when' he was coming
back.

And so he waited and waited and waited. But still
no Qui-Gon. He sighed, it was beginning to get late
now. He watched as the traffic of the ships deceased
to a mininum of five ships. Obi-Wan looked closely at
them, he decided that from the looks of them that they
were ships from the Senators of the Republic.

After a little while into the night Obi-Wan
finally returned to his quarters. By now Obi-Wan was
very worried for Qui-Gon. He should have been back by
now, thought Obi-Wan. And walked down the same
hallways he had walked down several times before. He
made his way to his quarters in deep thought, he did
not even notice the other Jedi Padawans as they walked
by him. Some of the younger ones nodding to him in
respect, since he was an older Padawan. As soon as he
entered his quarters he went to his bed and sat down.
He sighed and closed his eyes. And thought.

Obi-Wan felt useless. There was nothing he could
possible do to help or find out what happened to
Qui-Gon. He had no clue whether he was just late, or
if he was lost, or even worse...hurt. Obi-Wan closed
his eyes tightly and forced himself to clear all of
those thoughts from his mind. He needed to have a
clear mind, he needed to think about this situation
clearly. Worrying thoughts could cloud his thoughts
and his judgement.

He layed down on his small bed, opened his eyes,
and looked at the wall. He sighed again and thought of
all the things that could have happened to Qui-Gon.
But then he forced the thoughts from his mind again.
There was a time and place for that. And now was not
the time.

He called out in his link for Qui-Gon, the link
he and Qui-Gon had as Master and Padawan. But he felt
nothing. This is strange, thought Obi-Wan. "Thats
usually, normally I can always be able to connect
Qui-Gon on our link. At least we are able to feel a
little bit of each other presence. Argh, this is
confusing, I should probably tell the Masters about
this in the morning, they may know more about what is
going on with Master Qui-Gon than me."

He was starting to get frustrated now. All he
wanted to know was if Qui-Gon was okay, but he had no
clue to that answer. The frustration was beginning to
turn into angry. He was angry because Qui-Gon didn't
take him with him. If he had done that then Obi-Wan
would not have been worrying about him, because he
would be next to him, at his side, where he belonged.

Obi-Wan rolled over on his side and closed his
eyes again. After a few minutes he began to drift into
a deep, dreamless sleep.
