"We'll see." Obi Wan whispered, his expression dropping. He went for the fruit, grasping it and holding it out for me to take. Reluctantly, I grasped it, turning it around between my fingers and raising a brow in question. "Take a bite." He ordered, nodding in encouragement.

Shrugging, I let my teeth sink into the fruit, only to have my eyes widen in surprise when the sweet taste graced my tongue. Obi Wan chuckled lightly at my reaction as I hummed, smiling warmly as I looked at the fruit. It was unlike anything I'd ever tasted before.

"As you know, the force is all around us." He started to explain as I took another bite. "It resides in every living thing, in every man, woman, child and even in all plants and animals. That, -" He pointed at the fruit in my hand. "came from a tree, where the force was waved into every fibre. Formerly, it had belonged to other organisms that then fed the tree through its remains after they passed. Now, it has passed onto you. We're connected to everything around us, a never altering balance, a harmony between all living things."

I listened attentively, savouring the taste but also the way he spoke, the excitement in his voice and the joy that twinkled in his eyes. For the first time I could feel my nerves subsiding, feel the rest dawning on me. Unlike the other masters before him, he was patient even when nothing seemed to work. "Now, put it down in front of you." Slightly disappointed, I placed it down on the ground, curious for his next steps.

"Close your eyes and feel the energy that now flows through you." Obi exhaled deeply and shut his eyes, resting his hands on his knees. "The energy that resides in that fruit, that has now passed onto you. Feel how it surrounds us, how it's everywhere, -"

I had closed my eyes just as he asked, oblivious to what he was trying to make me do. Focussing, I could feel the force, feel it flowing around us as we sat, feel it playing within him and me, feel the link that bonded us together. The warmth that spread through my body numbed every pain there was, until suddenly in the darkness of my vision I saw a void that pulled everything towards it.

"feel it penetrate you, surround you, -" Obi Wan continued but when I felt it tuck at me, felt it pull me into that endless abyss I knew it was going wrong. The moment it got a hold of me, my entire vision blackened till all I could see were two golden orbs staring back at me. Then there was fire, hellfire, that burned my skin and surrounded everything around me. "Something is coming to scorch the ground, -"

I quickly opened my eyes with a loud gasp, steadying myself by placing my hands on the ground. "Princess?" His eyes stared at me as I panted, following my frantic movements as I looked around.

"I can't, I won't do it." I quickly said, rising to my feet and pacing, trying to get that aching fear out of my head.

"What is wrong?" He asked calmly.

"I can't do it, Kenobi!" I yelled at him, pointing an accusing finger his way. "Stop trying to make me!"

"You can." His voice was stern, making me turn around to face him instantly. Eyes slightly narrowed, he stared me down. "You've done it before, by the lake." I bit my lip and diverted my eyes away from his, crossing my arms before my chest. At that time I was pulled into a similar nightmare, but kept it from him just the same. "Sit down, Lyanna."

"I told you, I won't, -"

"Sit. Down." Suddenly, I didn't dare protest. Without truly realizing my limbs followed his command, lowering myself to the ground until I was face to face with him again. Obi took in a deep breath as he clenched his jaw. "Now, tell me; what is holding you back?"

I huffed loudly, glancing to the side to avoid his face. I was itching to tell him, to finally relieve myself of the burden of carrying so many secrets. Yet, there was this aching voice at the back of my head reminding me how he broke my trust mere days ago.

Moments passed in silence as he waited patiently. "Every time I try I..." The frustration ebbed away with each moment he stared at me. "I get sucked into this, this nightmare." My gaze met his, seeing the concern in his eyes.

He frowned deeply, his brows knotting together as he leaned forward, placing his hands on my own. "Tell me." He could sense there was more, I knew it. He was reaching out through our bond, feeling the fear that played within me.

"What, so you can tell the council again?" I sneered, making him flinch slightly but he didn't pull back. No, he was determined, leaning closer again as he inclined his head. Obi remained silent, but his eyes told everything there was. There was concern, a deep-felt sincere worry that raged within him.

I let out a deep breath, collecting the courage to tell him. "It's... It's Arthas." Even speaking his name brought fear. Obi Wan's eyes flickered, his frown deepening. "He's haunted me ever since we defeated him, ever since I... since I died. It was there before, but now that I'm here it has grown much worse."

As he leaned back in thought I felt this urge to explain myself further. "Obi, I keep seeing him everywhere I go, in my dreams, feel him around me even here and hear his whispers in the dark. A presence so devoid that it sucks away all light and leaves nothing behind." It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. "Every time I drop my guard he comes, inching closer, forcing his way into my head step by step and I can't get him out. I can't help but think that... that he's a part of me now."

I saw his eyes darkening in thought. "I am afraid." I confessed. Obi Wan raised his gaze to meet mine again as his fingers played with his beard. "I'm afraid that the council is right, Obi, and that there's nothing we can do to fix it."

There was a sudden decisiveness in him, a determination as he shook his head and leaned forward, grasping my hands in his and holding them delicately. His blue orbs bore into mine as he spoke. "Let me show you something, my darling."

I shook my head, glancing down but he forced me to look back when he drew my head up by placing two fingers beneath my chin. When our gazes connected, he let go slowly, letting his fingers cup my jaw gently. "Do you trust me?"

"Do you really want me to answer that now?" Whispering, I couldn't help but feel the guilt overwhelm me when I saw the pain wash through his eyes. I forced myself to see it, to see the pain I caused in him. First I'd thought that it would give me some kind of pleasure after what he did, but all it did was make it worse. In the end, I loved him and seeing him hurt was one of the worst things I could experience.

Obi Wan clenched his jaw, dropping his hand and silencing for a moment as he let it sink in. "Trust that I want to help you." He decided after a few seconds, grasping both my hands tightly in his. "Can you do that?"

"I can try." I nodded, sighing deeply as I allowed our gazes to meet again. "What do you want me to do?"

Obi Wan smiled softly for a few seconds. "Remember when you relived one of my memories?" He asked and saw me nod afterwards, hissing sharply when I remembered that it resulted in my practically choking him. Obi Wan snickered, continuing. "I want you to do it again. Only, this time, I decide what you're going to see."

"You're sure this is a good idea?"

"No matter what you think, my princess, I do trust you." He nodded in encouragement and then closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath and focussing on the memory. With a reluctant sigh, I followed in pursuit, concentrating on him and the warmth of his hands.

Soon, I felt a bond forming, unlike the one that already existed. It enabled me to see into his past, to see flashes of memories cross my vision. Because he allowed me to it became easier to concentrate, to really see those pictures for what they were. Soon I arrived at the one he wanted me to see, and I let myself be dragged into it.

It was like I was walking on clouds when I entered the memory. When I looked around, my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before; exotic plants with all different colours and shapes that I thought were impossible, small animals that I couldn't possibly recognize and thick trees that towered till far above me. They were shaped like some kind of mushroom, facing the skies and glowing a deep light blue.

There was a smaller tree right in the middle of the thicket, with purple leaves that almost seemed to glow. On its branches hung multiple small fruits, like the one I had just eaten.

"Felucia is one of my favourite planets." Obi Wan's voice suddenly rang through my ear, making me turn around to see him walk towards me over the purple moss. "The colours especially always mesmerize me." He wandered over to the tree, picking one of the fruits and twisting it around in his hand.

"It's extraordinary." I whispered as I let my eyes wander over all the incredible sights before me. There must be hundreds of planets out there, one more surprising than the other, waiting for me to explore them. My whole life I had been stuck on Valeria, never knowing what was out there in the stars.

"Here, take it." Obi Wan pulled my attention back to him as he tried to hand over the fruit, letting it lay bare in his palm. He smiled when he saw my clear fascination, nodding in encouragement when I looked at him questionably. "Go on."

Huffing softly, I took the fruit from his outstretched hand. Much to my surprise, it actually worked. I could twist it between my fingers, feel the soft hairs on the outside of it. "How is this possible?" Chuckling in wonder, I glanced back at him.

Everything felt so real, while in truth we were only inside his head, revisiting memories. Obi Wan only smiled back warmly, adoration clear in his eyes. "Now, who is the one performing miracles?" I asked, raising one eyebrow as I lifted the fruit before him.

He chuckled, lowering his head a tiny bit to get on my level. "You are." He spoke full of confidence, making me frown in confusion. I wasn't doing anything, I was only visiting his thoughts, he was the one conjuring this image. Obi stepped back from me and then suddenly disappeared from view, making the entire vision around me glitch. "Open your eyes, my darling."

And so I did. Slowly opening them, I was first met by his ocean eyes, framed by light eyelashes, staring back at me proudly. It wasn't until I spotted the fruit hovering between us that I noticed why. "Are you doing this?" I stuttered, pointing at it.

"Oh no, I'm not doing anything." He raised his arms in surrender and then chuckled, making me break from my concentration and let the fruit fall back to the ground.

"How... it's not possible." I mumbled, picking the fruit back up and trying to find out if there was another trick he had used. Only, I didn't find any clue, nothing to make me break my trust in him.

"We don't need to fix you, Lyanna, because you're not broken." Obi Wan spoke as he watched me trying to figure it out. "The force works differently in you, in a way that we jedi masters do not yet understand. It doesn't mean you're dangerous, it means is that we must find another way to teach you, to help and guide you through this."

I dropped the fruit and turned my full attention to him. "Now, the council might not agree with me, but I don't believe you're a sith. I know you're not. My only goal here, my darling, is to help you figure this out and prove once and for all that you're the queen I believe you to be."

Sighing deeply, I stared into his eyes and watched his emotions show through them, truly seeing him for who he was. In a way, I felt relieved. Being able to lift that stupid piece of fruit felt like a conformation, proof that I was not as broken as I had thought before, proof that I could control this thing inside of me and that I hadn't yet gone crazy.

Above all, Obi Wan believed in me too. He wasn't trying to undermine me or keep me here, all he was trying to do was help me, just like before. I didn't deserve him, not at all. Maybe his methods weren't perfect but he tried his best in the only way he knew how.

I pushed the fruit aside and practically flew towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, settling in the tiny space between his legs and burrowing my head in the crook of his neck. He froze for a moment, as he always did, but then slowly accepted the hug, placing his hands on my waist carefully.

"Thank you." Whispering softly against the skin, I inhaled his scent and enjoyed his warmth as I felt the chuckles rumble through his chest. For a moment he let himself delve deeper into the embrace, nose nuzzling in my hair and breathing in deeply while his hand cradled the back of my head.

"Now, princess, -" Obi softly grasped my arms and pulled at them, carefully pushing me back and making me lift my gaze to his. "As much as I enjoy your displays of affection, the temple might not be the best place for them." Smiling, he nudged his head towards the door that was slightly crooked open, making me quickly climb off of him while mumbling a soft 'sorry'. "I'm afraid that when the other masters find out we'll be off far worse."

"Well, the other masters can go and screw themselves for all I care." I sneered, crossing my arms before my chest and huffing loudly. When no response came, I lifted my gaze only to see his playfully narrowed eyes looking back at me. "What? They haven't really impressed me in the past few days with their so called 'compassion'."

"Some of them may surprise you yet, young one."

"Pff, young one, I'm not a youngling." I rolled my eyes at him but smiled, nonetheless. "I thought we'd already established that I'd make a terrible padawan."

Obi Wan smiled at that, letting out a deep breath as he watched me for a moment. "That we have." He whispered as he raised his hand, letting the backs of his fingers softly glide over my cheeks, making my heart flutter by the mere touch of them.

I waited in anticipation, watching his every move as his fingers then carefully cradled the back of my head, pulling me closer. He placed his lips against the top of my head, making me close my eyes and savour the softness of his touches. They opened swiftly when he whispered another few words. "But that doesn't mean I won't stop trying."
