Female Gorgon obiwan first meeting gorgon quigon
Qui-Gon was shivering. His captors had left him only with his leggings, his torso and feet were bare. He was tied up with Force suppressing cuffs that would hold against the strength of a raging gundark, so there was no chance for him to get out of the bindings that held him uncomfortably upright and against the damp wall of his prison. His eyes were covered, leaving him without any way of defensive. He was helpless, cold, hungry and absolutely miserable.
But Qui-Gon was still a Jedi Master and of course he noticed the tiny shift in the Force that was followed by the sound of someone moving. Had his captors returned, where they here to torment him now? He would not say a word, that much was clear.
The long haired man startled when something small and warm touched his hip. The touch had been born out of curiosity, he was sure of it and it felt unsure and nervous.
“Are you hurt?” The voice was female, though it belonged to a young girl, he was certain of that.
“No,” the Jedi answered after a moment, no need to scare the child, “Are you?”
There was a pregnant pause, “My leg hurts,” whispered the female being.
“What happened?” it felt good to speak with someone again, who was not out to hurt or get him.
“I fell down a hole and landed right here,” the tone was slightly amused, as if the child did not really mind being down here in this damp, cold and dark place.
Qui-Gon couldn’t help but chuckle, “Quite the tale, little one. Will you tell me your name?”
“Obi-Wan Kenobi,” came the enthusiastic reply and a moment later, an awfully light and small body snuggled against his torso, giving much appreciated warmth, though the Jedi was worried about his companion’s temperature. Also, she did not seem to know the words ‘modesty’, especially little girls should not cuddle up to a strange, half naked man. “What’s yours?”
A gasp escaped the small being, “You are the one, the people talk about. The one with the snake hair…” she hesitated, “But you don’t have snake hair.”
“That’s because I keep them hidden,” he simply answered. There was no harm done in revealing this information. The girl would be too young to understand anyway and even though it sounded cruel, she would most likely never become old enough to understand.
“Will you show me? Please?” the little one begged.
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” he trailed off.
“And if I get you out of here?”
Qui-Gon’s joy about having company, soon vanished into nothingness. “Then I will show you,” he promised. It was not like he expected the girl to free him, but he hoped that she would change the topic of their conversation now. To his great disappointment, the warmth of her small body vanished and small footsteps could be heard, she was barefoot too.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“To help you of course, silly,” the girl giggled and then she was gone, leaving the Jedi Master wondering, of he had just sent an innocent life towards death.
The tall Jedi Master had no idea, how Obi-Wan had done it and he was not getting a real reply out of his small companion either. The ginger haired girl smiled up at him, while Qui-Gon was rubbing his abused wrists. She had actually managed to get the key to the cuffs and she had not wasted another second to free him.
“Well?” she asked and tilted her head in a cute fashion.
“You promised!” she pouted and her adorable blue-green eyes were large with curiosity and eagerness.
Qui-Gon sighed, but a promise was a promise. “Very well.” He closed his eyes, he did not want to turn the little one into stone after all and allowed some of his true nature to make an appearance.
A delighted yelp came from the little one. “They look just like mine,” Obi-Wan exclaimed and caught the Master’s undivided attention.
In his surprise, he had opened his now yellow eyes and in pure horror he waited for the cute being to turn into stone when her eyes met his, but nothing happened.
“Could you…” he cleared his throat and ignored his snake hair that was hissing in disbelief, “Could you repeat that please.”
Obi-Wan tilted her head, “They look just like mine,” she repeated, “just bigger.”
Unconsciously, the Jedi Master reached out and pulled the little one into his lap. Obi-Wan seemed content to be there and his snake hair immediately took the advantage to dart their tongues in and out.
“Can you show me?” he asked almost breathless. Could it be? Could he finally have found someone of his own kin?
“Don’t know, its hard,” the child shrugged, but closed her eyes and furrowed her eyes in deep concentration. First there happened nothing, but then, the dirty copper hair began to change. It became thicker and head transformer out of the tips.
Qui-Gon let out a shaky laugh and allowed his emotions to take over for a moment. Here, in this hell, he had found another Gorgon, one he could form and call his family, for the rest of their long lives. At least if the Force willed it.
Obi-Wan giggled, when their hair began to explore each other and she was happy to have pleased the sad looking man. In this moment, were she unconsciously reached out to him, a bond snapped to life. The Master’s eyes widened and he realized, that his new charge was Force sensitive. He hid a huge grin in coppery snakes and he silently thanked the Force.
