Every one made their way to the prison block to investigate the death. Me and Sahara had a mission, Padmé Amidala was on her way to Naboo for a meeting and with all the attempts on her life and Anikin being busy we were tasked with protecting her. We boarded her ship and made way to Naboo.
Aiden:You're sweating, relax.
Sahara:Sorry master, but this is my first mission, I am rather nervous.
Aiden:Do not worry, nothing will go wrong I'm here to help if you need it. Trust in the force, keep your mind on the here and now where it belongs.
Sahara:But master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future.
Aiden:But not at the expense of the moment, or the mission for that matter.

The ship landed not long after and Padmé made her way to the meeting room. Once the meeting had ended all the people cleared the building leaving me, Sahara, Padmé and the queen of Naboo.

Queen:Isn't it a bit much to have to Jedi to protect one person?
Aiden:It may be, but I'd rather the over kill than having someone actually killed.
Queen:I see.

We followed Padmé as she left the room and made her way to her room.

Padmé:I'm going to spend time here until the next meeting, you two can relax if you want. Just cause you're protecting me doesn't mean you can't sit down sometime.
Aiden:Thank you but maybe later. I'm wanting to see the skill of my new padawan.
Padmé:I see, you can use to balcony to fight if you want.
Aiden:Thank you.

We made our way to the balcony where Sahara and I ignited our sabers. I swung first from above which she quickly blocked. I spun around her attacking each side only to be met with multiple blocks. I took a step back allowing her to make a move. She quickly demonstrated her skill with form 4 showing her acrobatic skills, quickly attacking from each angle and flipping over me, over and over. I had to move fast to block every strike. With every strike I blocked she moved to a new angle of attack and moved faster than before. I eventually got her saber locked under mine.

Aiden:Well done. I am quite impressed. Your combat skills are definitely unique, it's not often that I've encountered a Jedi of your size who uses form 4. It's typically a form for smaller creatures.
Sahara:Thank you master
Aiden:You've earned that break.
Sahara:Are you sure we should be so relaxed?
Aiden:I'll be alert you relax for now.

I walked back outside to get a better look at the planets landscape, this was my first time here.

Padmé:Beautiful, isn't it.
Aiden:Oh apologies I hadn't seen you there.
Padmé:No it's quite alright.
Aiden:It is rather beautiful. This is your home isn't it?
Padmé:Yes. It's strange I haven't been back in some years and yet it feels like I have never left.
Aiden:Speaking of leaving shouldn't you be getting ready to go to the next meeting?
Padmé:Oh yes, thank you.

As we were making our way out of the room an explosion caused parts of the walls and roof to collapse. Sahara caught the debris with the force. A thermal detonator was thrown through the smoke of the broken room. I caught the detonator and contained the blast with the force.
Me and Sahara force pushed the debris out the way and got Padmé out side. As we stepped out we were met with a volley of blaster fire. I pushed Padmé back against one of the few pillars that didn't fall.

Aiden:Stay here and do not move.
