Padawan Lost ~ AU (1st Installment of the Padawan Series)

Chapter 3

(Padawan Andora's POV, 5 years after departure of Ahsoka Tano)

Master Yoda and I walked down the halls of the Jedi Temple. As we entered one of the meeting rooms, I was greeted by a man, a Jedi, with a beard.

"Ah, Master Kenobi," Yoda said. I smiled at this Master Kenobi. He smiled too.

"Who is this?" He asked as he looked at me up and down.

"Your Padawan, this is." I smiled brightly.

"Yoda, the last time we had a Padawan, that didn't go to well. I'm talking about Ahsoka and Barriss." Master Kenobi rubbed his beard. I was defeated. My Master already had no faith in me.

"Andora this is," Master Yoda said, ignoring Master Kenobi's words.

I nodded my head. "It is nice to meet you Master." I stuck my hand out for him to shake and he took it tentatively.

"Master Yoda, a word." Master Kenobi and Master Yoda closed the doors and I walked into the youngling's training room.

"It's my sister!" Ilia yelled. She took off her training helmet and ran to hug me. She was nine years younger than me.

"Ilia, you need to train."

"She's a Padawan everybody!" Ilia squealed. I smiled and shrugged.

"Teacher," I said, bowing my head.

"It is nice to see you again Andora."

"And you," I said cheerfully.

"Who is to be your Master?" My old Teacher asked.

"Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi," I held my head high.

Teacher nodded and smiled.

"I think your Master is looking for you." He nodded behind me. I turned and saw Master Kenobi standing at the doors of the training center. I swallowed hard.

"Master," I said as I walked up to him. He smiled.

"Hello Padawan Andora." I smiled. "Let's take a walk, shall we?" I nodded.

"I am terribly sorry for the rude introduction earlier." Master said as we walked through the courtyard where my sister and her fellow younglings had moved and were practicing lightsaber technique under the shade of a cherry blossom tree. I smiled at her as I walked by but kept the majority of my focus on Master Kenobi.

"I understand Master. What did you mean about Ahsoka and Barriss? Who were they and what... happened?"

"Child that was years ago, it's no concern of yours." I nodded and kept my mouth shut.

"Coruscant is beautiful this time." I stared blankly at the passing clouds and falling cherry blossoms. Master smiled.

"Master Kenobi, you are needed in the War Room." I heard an unfamiliar voice come over Master's comlink. He sighed.

"Well I am afraid we have to cut this short. Continue your studies in the Library." He started to walk faster ahead of me and I ran to catch up to his side.

"But Master, shouldn't I come with you?" I asked.

"Keep your comlink on and I will summon you if I need you, but studies come before War Room meetings. I sighed and slowed my pace as Master kept a fast pace to the War Room.

"Everything I do is wrong." I said as I sat down on the beautiful green grass. I lay down on the grass and looked up to the sky.

"One day, I'm going to be on a ship out of here and travel to distant star systems to help people and smash some droids." I sighed. "But first, I have to study." I groaned and headed off to the Library.
