#I just think it would’ve been cool to see another trait of Obi wan’s in full view which is perseverance

In my opinion, it was a missed opportunity to spend episode 4 watching Obi Wan recover post- Vader fight.
(Also a bit of a headcanon- hurt or lost arms and hands of course doesn’t stop you from using the force, but it takes a bit of retraining)

        It was so incredibly green outside of the star fighter, a place like no other. The mountains were high, their tips just reaching the clouds that floated amongst the sky. Then there were smaller stones, still boulders in comparison to the pebbles at our feet, but they levitated in the air. I had a feeling in my gut that they weren't doing that entirely on their own.  
         A shallow fog circled around us and everything around. It was white and whimsical as though it had a mind of its own. It rolled down the hills in waves and collected at the base of the mountains. The entire scene was like one from a dream.
         "Are you the one?" A voice whispered in my ear. It was a gentle, feminine voice that echoed in my head.
         "Who was that?" I asked.
         "What?" Anakin looked dumbstruck, although I figured I didn't look much different. "Did you hear that?"
         Obi Wan shrugged and continued to peer out of the binoculars. "I didn't hear anything."
         "I did." I whispered, just loud enough for Anakin to understand me. I didn't want the others to think I was crazy, even though I thought I might be. I'd heard voices in my head in the past, but nothing like the one I was hearing.
         "Are you the one?" It repeated.
         As if on cue, Anakin and I both turned to face a magical woman. Her hair was a lively green that flowed down her back like silk, contrasting her pale skin that was decorated with a long, golden dress. She shimmered in the light, like a figment of my imagination. If I didn't know any better I would say she was nearly transparent. I swore I could see through her figure.
         "Hello." Obi Wan all but purred.
         "Who are you?" I demanded. I could feel a growing pain in my head from the pointed look I was giving.
         "I am Daughter." She explained as vaguely as possible. "Are you the one?" She asked again. I tried to look in her eyes, but I couldn't tell if she was looking at me or Anakin.
         Anakin grumbled under his breath while his hands rose to rest on his hips, "Uh, the one what?"
          "I will take you to him."
         "Him, who?"
          "Did you bring us here?" Obi Wan and Ahsoka both questioned.
         The woman appeared to sigh at what I could only assume was our ignorance, "only he can help you," she stated firmly. "There is little time. Follow me. We must have shelter by nightfall."
         Anakin scoffed, "and we thought the planet was strange. How about this one?"
         "Tell me about it," I rolled my eyes and bumped my shoulder against his, bringing a smile to both of our faces.
         "We'll be fine as long as we stay together," Obi Wan reassured us. I knew in my gut it wasn't going to be that simple, but we could hope.
         The walk was peaceful as we all remained quiet a majority of the journey. I thought it would be warm since the light was so bright, but nothing appeared to be real here. When we first arrived, there was no bright sun, no greenery to be seen at all, yet it surrounded us now. I certainly couldn't be the only one that was suspicious of this random planet.
         "Have you noticed the seasons seem to change with the time of day?" Obi Wan whispered among our group of four.
         I nodded, feeling a sudden chill creep up my spine. "Or the fake, rubber feeling of the planets?"
         "And there are no animals," Ahsoka added.
         Obi leaned towards Anakin and I as we trailed the mysterious woman, "and you two sense it?" he asked.
         "Since we saw the planet - or, whatever this is." I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling the cold temperatures increase yet the others seemed entirely unaffected. "The Force is incredibly strong here, it's like I feel it flowing through me."
         "An intersection unlike anything I've ever felt before," Obi Wan agreed. "Be wary."
         "Excuse me. Who are you taking us to?" Anakin asked the lady. She hadn't so much as glanced at us since we left the ship.
        "The Father, of course," she answered simply
        I scoffed and rolled my eyes. How very vague of her. "Well, of course. And who are you?" I snapped.
         Her gaze shifted around the area, gesturing widely to the plants - or maybe it was the rocks, even the planet. I thought I could see the faintest inkling of a smile on her face when her head turned towards us. "We are the ones who guard the power. We are the middle, the beginning, and the end"
         Another breeze rolled through the canyon, sweeping my hair from my shoulders and forcing me to wrap my arms tighter around myself. I could feel a hand rest on my shoulder, it was gentle and comforting, but the sensation was soon replaced with a tight grip as a large boulder came tumbling down the canyon walls. If I hadn't been pulled from it's path, I soon would've become a splat at the bottom of the forest.
         I lifted my head from the ground, finding Obi Wan dangling from the ledge. My heart stopped for a moment and before I could process anything, I was hauling him back onto the small path.
         "Thank you," he breathed. His blue eyes darted across my face, wiping a small cut that developed on my cheek after hitting the rocks. "Are you two okay?"
          "Yeah," I tried not to smile at the sight of his tousled hair, "we're good. What about Anakin?"
          The three of us looked to the rock that now blocked our path while Obi Wan quickly turned to his communicator. "Anakin, are you there? Are you alright?" he asked worriedly.
          The line was quiet for a moment and if it weren't for Anakin and I's connection, I would've shared Obi Wan's concern.
         "Yeah," he scoffed, "but our friend here has run off!" Anakin shouted. "Go back to the ship and try sending another distress call. I'll follow her and find out how to get off this rock."
         Obi Wan sighed, "and if this is a trap?"
         "Then I'm not gonna wait around to find out."
         "Anakin, stop." He demanded. "Wait for us to find another way around and meet you. Anakin?" His chest lifted as a sigh escaped him. "So reckless and impatient. Must be a Skywalker trait." He turned to me with a small grin. I couldn't decide if I wanted to slap it off of him or return it.
        "Maybe it is. You would be the one to know," I shrugged. Sounds of thunder rolled through the hills as the sky quickly darkened. The cold grew stronger and a sort of dizziness briefly took over me. "A storm?" My eyebrows stitched together in confusion at the sudden appearance.
          Obi Wan's hands wrapped around my shoulders, helping me stand upright. He was just as confused as I was with the familiar creases in his forehead.
         "We need to go," he mumbled. His breath was warm against my ear, a momentary ease to the chill I felt.
         We traced our steps back to the ship, trying to avoid the rainfall that was destined to come. The darkness slowly encompassed us as it spread across the sky, painting the sky a dark, dreamy blue. The green plants were no longer, replaced by rotten, brown-looking leaves that were deteriorating as the seconds passed.
        Our surroundings grew familiar, but there was nothing but an empty landing. There were no remnants, scraps of metal, or even indentions in the ground that signaled that our ship was once there. Everything was like new. Well, dead, but new.
         "The ship's gone!" Ahsoka exclaimed.
         "Yes," Obi Wan sighed, "I see that."
          "It was here," she threw her arm out towards the vast space, "no question."
          I felt the dizziness take over again, my hands flying to my head to stop the spinning. "Guys," I groaned, feeling faint like I could drop at any moment, but the two continued talking about our strange surroundings. "Guys," I tried again, nearly stumbling over my feet until a hand bunched up the back of my shirt and pulled me back to my feet.
         "Did you lose something?" Another echoey voice came. His piercing red eyes stared into me like a pair of lasers. "You didn't do as you were asked."
           "Actually," I pried his hand from my clothing as the sickly feeling soon faded away, "we did exactly as we were told."
         He scowled, "my sister said to wait."
        "Did she, now?" Obi Wan asked, his fingers brushing my arm as he tried to pull me back. Instead, I reached for the hilt on my hip, igniting the white blade. "Well," he continued, "we were unfortunately separated. We'd like our ship back if you don't mind."
         "Not yet," he hissed. "Is it true they are the chosen one?"
         Obi Wan tugged me behind him forcefully despite my saber while he and Ahsoka both readied theirs. His face sunk, illuminated beautifully by the blue light, while his eyebrow rose daringly. "What do you know of such things?"
        "What is about to happen shall occur whether you like it or not," his voice boomed. He swiped his hand through the air, shrinking all of our blades back into their hilts.
         "You are Sith." Obi Wan quickly pointed towards the man. I finally took notice of his face, looking past the evil eyes. His skin was white with harsh red markings, nothing like his 'sister,' except for the hazy appearance.
        "Sith?" He chuckled, quickly meeting my eyes. "Yes...And no. The storms here are quite lethal. If you want to live, I suggest you find shelter." He took off in a sprint before his body morphed into some dark, winged being and taking off into the stormy skies.
         I gasped as the rain started to pour down, pelting my face with the harsh drops. I paid no mind to the pain. I was more focused on the coolness of the drops as they hit my skin and soaked my robes and hair.
       Lightning struck all around, but seemed to avoid us. "Quick," Obi Wan grabbed my arm,  "there's a cave over there."
        He ushered us into the dark cave, both of them wearing grim expressions while working on starting a fire. I looked around the dreary space, then back outside where the rain poured down, and I started to laugh.
        I couldn't stop laughing, no matter how hard I tried. We were in the most absurd of situations, I swore I had to be part of some large prank or a dream. Obi Wan and Ahsoka looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I was.
         "Aaryn?" Obi Wan questioned. "What is it?"
        "Nothing- Nothing it's just," I huffed and tried to catch my breath. "Actually, no. It's not nothing. My brother is missing and we're on some strange planet or whatever it is! We're surrounded by these weird creatures who, if you haven't noticed, are Force users. Dangerous Force users."
         "What, like you? Do you think I don't care that Anakin is gone?" Obi Wan seethed as he inched closer to me. "He may be your brother, but like it or not, he's my family too. Of course I'm worried about him, but he can handle himself just fine. He's not nine anymore, you missed all of that, you missed him growing up because you left."
          I groaned and shoved him back before getting into his face, his eyes narrowing into mine. "You're incredibly insensitive, General Kenobi. I envy anyone who's had the pleasure of not meeting you," I snapped.
        "You have a sharp tongue, General Skywalker. It's a shame it's not put to better use," he grinned, "you'd make a terrific Senator."
        "You despise politicians."
        He leaned close to me, a fierce glimmer in his eye, "exactly."
         We remained still for a moment, tied in our argument once again until Ahsoka cleared her throat with a smile threatening to spread across her face. I forgot we had extra company.
        "As much as I enjoy watching...whatever  this is, maybe we should get some rest? That storm isn't going to leave anytime soon, we might as well," she shrugged and gestured towards the large fire she'd set up.
        Obi Wan nodded quickly and pulled his shoulders back, always the professional. "Right," he agreed, "rest sounds good."
         Rest did sound good, if only for a little bit. The creepy Sith-thing said the storms were deadly, so we didn't have anything to worry about.
        I sat down against the cold rocks, curling into the most comfortable position I could find. I would only close my eyes for a few minutes, just a few. All I had to do was remind myself that Anakin was smart and safe, then I could fall asleep.
       What could possibly happen in just a few minutes?
