Summary: Above and in the ruins of an ancient Force temple in the Wastes of Tatooine, Obi-Wan holds sole vigil as the last remaining Jedi on the planet, until the day he finds a man unconscious on the cliffs near his home. The man is Anakin Skywalker, sent to evict Obi-Wan and remove the Jedi from the planet entirely, in order for the Hutts to appease the encroaching threat of the Empire. Unaware of this, Obi-Wan takes him into his home, and in spite of them having little by way of common language, a fragile bond forms between them. Meanwhile, Shmi discovers what the Empire really want with a captured Jedi, and what cost Anakin might be forced to pay.
