He knew he would get knighted, but he never imagined it would be this way. Qui-Gon was meant to be alive. His Master was supposed to be there. His Master, now ash, having been given a proper funeral, leaving Obi-Wan behind to begin a new chapter with a sad beginning.
Obi-Wan looked over the young queen of whom he realized he was now alone with.
Β βI should be the one to offer thanks for your help in my Masterβs funeral.β Obi-Wan replied.Β βAnakin is rather fond of you. In case you are worried about his future, the Council has allowed him to become a Jedi. I will train him as best I can. I believe in time he will make a great Jedi. Know this, if we have the chance to serve Naboo again, you can depend on us.β
βIt was the least I could do, Master Qui-Gon was a good man.β Irritating yes, but a good man none the less. She was glad to hear that Anakin would be trained. It was a comfort to her, but then he told her that she could count on them to serve Naboo should the need ever arise again.
βI will keep that in mind, but let us hope I never have to take you up on that kind offer.β
βHe was.β He agreed. Though little did he know that Padme also thought his Maste could be irritating, but still a good man. His Master had been stubborn, keeping to his beliefs, and never shy about voicing his opinion. Then again, he had loved his Master as father figure and if not for Qui-Gonβs training, he would have never been able to defeat that Sith Lord.Β βHe will be missed, but he is one with the Force now. And knowing him, heβll find a way to guide me from the grave.βΒ
While Obi-Wan had an idea of the afterlife from the Jedi point of view, something told him that his Masterβs spirit would not be content to be assimilated and would somehow become an individual entity within it.
βIndeed. I wish the same as well. But, and Iβm sure you need no warning, I would be careful with who you trust. I somehow doubt the Trade Federation is done yet.β He told her.Β βBut if I may offer an idea of an ally, perhaps seek audience with Mandalore. They are not a part of the Republic, but they are not an enemy either. The Duchess may speak with you. Sheβs a friend of mine.β Friend was a light way of saying it, but he and Satine had made the choice when the extended mission ended.
