The Found Lost Padawan

Chapter 17 "Arriving"

(Not a good picture I know. But I tried.)

3rd Perspective
"What!" The whole Ghost crew gasped, almost at the same time. Liz couldn't stare them in the eyes.

"Tell us where is Ezra!" Kanan demanded. He slam his fist on the projector. Liz took a step back, unsure if Kanan or the rest might do something. She only met them a few days ago, which felt like hours to Liz. With uncertainty fluttering in her mind, Liz tried her best to not talk about.

"This isn't your business Kanan. Not to the Rebel Fleet nor to the Ghost crew. This is something between the Spectres. And the Spectres only," Liz said unsteadly. But she said it proud just like her Master always does. She gazed at the crews eyes, either boiling with anger or surprised on how she snapped back at Kanan. Liz got a bit dizzy. Standing with a broken ankle isn't a good thing so, she decided to walk away without another word. Yet, before she was able to walk out, Ryder Azadi came into the room.

Liz's Perspective
(I know, to such of Liz's perspective)

When I saw former Governor Ryder Azadi, I held my breath and stopped walking. I have never seen him in real life, only in holograms. I've heard of him and Master Bridgers parents working together or something like that. I was nervous. He left everything behind on Lothal, it's hard to imagine what he would have done if he didn't join the Rebel Fleet. More so how he will act about the news of Master Bridger and the Spectres.

He didn't change as much. He only had a few wrinkles on his cheeks and that's all!

"Governor Azadi," I said politely. I had to look up in order to see him eye to eye. His eyes were icy blue and his copper colored skin is a bit paler now.

"So your Ezra's padawan, right?" He said in a raspy voice.

"Yes Governor Azadi." I responsed.

"I am no longer the governor of Lothal. No need to call me like that, uh, Liz is it?" he corrected me. He crossed his arms. I, once again, took a step back, holding my bandaged arm.

"Understood Mr. Azadi," I replied. What to say? What to say? I didn't want to say something stupid in front of a former governor. "Do you remember your loth-cat?"

Ugh, what type of question it that!

"Ah, yes! I had to leave him behind unfortunately, what about him?" He began to stroke his snow-white beard.

"I just wanted to say that Master Bridger has been taking care of him. He found him in the streets of Jothal and let the kids pet him, feed him, even name him." Mr. Azadi gave me a shocked look.

"Seems like Ezra doesn't want anyone or anything living on the streets of Lothal," he smiled.

"Indeed Mr. Azadi." I smiled at him. Even though I never met him, though I was born on Lothal, I always saw him as an uncle of Lothal rather than a governor. Yet, I have more than 17 uncle and aunts as what my mother last told me. I sighed. Ignoring the fact that Mr. Azadi is right there.

I miss my mother and father. I last saw them when I was 10 years old, now I'm my Masters age, 18 years old. About to be 19 years old in a few months just like Master Bridger. I wish I could see them again. And Master Bridger, too. I want to see Lexi and the Spectres. Wait, what I'm I doing. I shouldn't be thinking about this. I need to focus on what to do when Lexi arrives and what the plan will be to rescue Master Bridger. Mr. Azadi gave me a concerned gaze.

"You should go get some rest now Liz," he said. I should actually, but I wasn't tired. I was in a coma for 4 days, I can't be tired."You have a big mission coming up don't you?"
