Rex's POV:

As we walked up what seemed to be a large mountain, Obi-wan said;

"Have you noticed the seasons seem to change with the time of day?"

"Yeah," Anakin replied simply. 

"And there are no animals." Stated Hardcase.

"And you sense it?" Obi-wan asked Anakin.

"Mm-hmm, since we arrived. The force is very strong." Anakin said.

"An intersection, unlike anything I've ever felt before. Be wary." Obi-wan stated that last part for all of us to hear.

"Excuse me. Who are you taking us to?" Anakin asked the Daughter

"The father, of course." She replied.

"Of course." Muttered Kix. I glared at him and he fell silent.

"And what exactly are you?" Obi-wan said.

"We are the ones who guard the power. We are the middle, the beginning, and the end." Stated Daughter.

"Glad she cleared that up for us," Anakin said. Sarcasm lacing his tone.

Suddenly, we all heard a low rumbling.

"Hey! Look out!" Anakin yelled. He pushed the daughter out of the way of the falling boulders.

Obi-wan and Padme both lost their footing and fell off the ledge. Gripping their hands on the rock. We quickly pulled them up.

"Thank you," they said to us.

"You're welcome," Ahsoka said.

Anakin's POV:

"It is forbidden for you to touch me." Roared the Daughter.

"Sorry. I was just saving your life." I snapped back.

"That was my brother's work. You are in great danger. Wait for me. Do not leave this place." She said. She turned and started walking away.

"Hey! Wait!" I yelled after her.

Suddenly, my comm started flashing and Obi-wan's voice came through it. 

"Anakin, are you there?" 

"Yeah" I replied.

Padmes voice came through asking;

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah. But our friend here has run off!" I shouted the last bit so the quickly receding figure of the Daughter could hear me.  "Go back to the ship and try sending another distress call. I'll follow her and find out how to get off this rock."

"And if this is a trap?" Asked Cody.

"Then I'm not gonna wait around to find out," I said.

"Anakin, stop!" Obi-wan said. "Wait for us to find another way around and meet you." 

I hung up before he could finish 

"Anakin? So reckless and impatient." I could hear Obi-wan mumble from the other side of the massive pile of boulders.

I ran in the direction the daughter had gone. Like I said;

'I'll find a way off this rock'
