Falling For Skywalker - Book(1)

The Search

Raina's POV.

Raina had a secret ceremony for her dead master. In secret at night she went out into the woods and burned Asoka's body. It was the sacred Jedi custom. As she watched the flames she remembered all the wonderful memories she had of Asoka. She would forever keep them in her heart.

She then remembered her masters last words to her. Be strong. Don't give up. And beware the darkness. Be light. May the force be with you always. Raina sighed. She would follow her masters last instructions, but she knew it would be hard. She was alone now.

Then she remembered what her master had told her. "ObiWan." Raina said aloud. He would train her. Now all she would have to do was find him. And she would find him.

Months past and Raina had left Naboo. She searched the whole galaxy for information on ObiWan Kenobi. To do this she had to go undetected. She always dressed in a black jacket and boots. Since she didn't know how to use a lightsaber yet, she kept her blaster on her belt at all times. She bought a small one-maned ship and supplies. She was a pretty good pilot, she was surprised to find out. When she had time she tried to work on her Jedi skills, but usually there was no time.

One day Raina landed on Takodana, she had heard she could find some information here at a bar. As she walked into the giant building she gazed at the colorful flags that hung outside. She walked into the building. The music was loud and lively. Creatures of all kinds talked and ate. She had been, to quite a few bars before, but never like this. She went up to a bar and sat down.

The bartender came up to her. "What'll it be?" "Information." She answered. "What kind?" "I need to speak to someone called Maz Kanata." Raina said. The mans eyes shifted. "Just a minute." Raina took a drink of the strong liquid. It stung her throat as it went down. She turns around to watch the band play.

"You wanted to speak with me?" A voice asked. Raina turned to speak to the voice. She was surprised when she saw a small alien, with round glasses. "Yes. Are you Maz Kanata?" "I have been for a few hundred years. Come over here, where we can talk." She said. She seemed very friendly, which was something Raina wasn't used to.

She followed her over to a table and sat down. "Now, what is it you would like to know?" Maz asked. "I'm looking for someone. A Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi." Maz nodded. "I know of him. He is alive, but I do not know where he is. The last person who was in contact with him was master Yoda and Senator Bail Organa." She said quietly. "Master Yoda? I thought he was dead." Maz shook her head. "No. In hiding. Just like Obi-Wan. Senator Organa is not, though. He may know where Master Obi-Wan is."

"But will he help me? He's a Senator for the Empire." Raina said. Maz shook her head again. "He is, but..." she leaned closer to Raina and whispered in her ear. "He is with the rebellion." Raina's eyes widened. "The Reb-?!" She began to exclaim. Maz quickly covered her mouth. "Shh. You cannot say a word about it. There are Imperial spies everywhere." She explained.

"Sorry. So, this Senator Organa may know where Master Kenobi is?" She asked. "Yes. He lives on Alderaan. It is safe to visit there. Imperials leave them alone for he most part." "Alright. Thank you." Raina said getting up. "Be careful." Maz warned. "I will." Raina answered and left.

A few days later she came to Alderaan. It was a beautiful planet. She could see why so many people talked as if it were a heaven. Raina quickly took a transport to he palace. There she asked for permission to see the Senator and Queen. "You may go in." The guard answered.

She walked into the large throne room where the Queen sat. The Senator stood next to her and in a throne next to the Queen sat a girl about Raina's age. Raina bowed. "Your highnesses. I am Raina Starlight. I have come here asking for your help. I am in search for someone and need some information." She said. The Queen looked confused. "And who would it be, that you need information about?"

"A Jedi master, who goes by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi." She said. Both the Queen and Senator looked at one another. "Come with us." The Senator said firmly. "What?" Raina asked. "We can't talk here." He answered. "Leia. Come with us." He ordered. "Yes father." She answered.

They walked into an office. Senator Organa locked the doors. "You are searching for Master Kenobi?" He asked to clarify. "Yes. You see, my master she...was killed by Vader. When she was dying she told me to find Master Kenobi and ask him to finish my training, for I had just started." Raina explained. Bail nodded.

"I see. Who was your master?" He asked. "Her name was Asoka Tano. Master Asoka Tano." He froze. He seemed to remember the name. "The young padawan of Master Anakin Skywalker." He remembered. "Yes." She answered.

Queen Breha and the Princess Leia had been silent the whole time. Bail walked over to Leia. "Miss Starlight. I can help you, but in return, that you will help me." He said putting an arm around Leia. "I will help you. I just need to find him." She answered.

"Alright. My daughter, Leia, is going on very important mission. I just got back from the rebel alliance today and they need her to pick up some important plans, crucial to winning this war. They also want her to bring Master Kenobi back here. They need his help. If you go with my daughter and help protect her...you will be able to see Master Kenobi." Raina didn't know how to feel. She hadn't planned on getting involved with the war, but she knew that she had to do it. She was becoming a Jedi to destroy evil and the Empire was evil. "I'll do it." She agreed. Bail organ smiled.

His daughter smiled kindly at Raina. She walked up to her. "Thank you. We are in debt to." She said. Raina smiled and shook her head. "No, it is I who will be in debt to you. When do we leave?" She asked. "As soon as possible." The Senator answered. She nodded. "I'm ready, whenever."

An hour later Bail Organa and his wife walked the princess and Raina to the ship. Bail turned to Leia and hugged her. "Be carful. I love you and I'm so, so proud of you." He told her. She smiled. "Thank you father. And I love you too."

Bail turned to Raina as Leia and her mother said goodbye. "Thank you for doing this. It will be a relief that someone will be watching out for my daughter." He told her. "She will be kept safe a promise. And we will bring Master Kenobi back safety." She said. "Good luck and may the force be with you." He shook her hand. "Thank you." She and Leia got on the ship and took off.
