There was no answer behind the rusty old wooden door. Leia just opened the door and walked in. The others cautiously followed. It seemed like a typical farmers shed at first, but there was an archway leading to another room behind all the farm paraphernalia.
Leia proceeded into the back room. "Luke?" She asked as she entered the room.
The others followed behind her and crowded around in the threshold of the archway.
"Luke?" Leia said again.
There was creaking movement above them. It was a loft. To the left was a ladder on the wall and a body slowly stumbled down. He turned around and it was Luke. His facial hair was grown out of control, his hair was long and shaggy, he was wearing an old white shirt and tan pants, and he was a little stinky. He had obviously been shut in there for a long time.
"Luke, we've got company." Leia said although it was pointing out the obvious.
"Yes, Leia, I can see that." Luke groaned as he sat down on his small wooden chair in the corner. "Hey guys, how's life?" He asked.
"Umm, hi Luke." Dahlia did a cute little wave. "Ok, so Iona has something that she wants to tell you." Dahlia pushed Iona forward.
"Yeah, umm." Iona started.
"What is it?" Luke asked sternly.
"Umm, ok. So you know that planet, Ahch-To?" She asked; Luke nodded to confirm. "Well, I went there. About a month ago, because I was curious about where the first Jedi Temple was. But while I was on the planet...I saw...I saw Morgana." She stated.
Dahlia gasped. "Really?!" She asked.
"Yes. She left before I got a chance to talk to her. I just saw her walked through the cave tunnel next to the tunnel I was in and then I turned around to go down her hallway and she was gone. I followed the tunnel down and it lead to the surface. She was gone." Iona explained.
Luke seemed unfazed by all this.
"Wait, hold on! Back up." Killian said.
"Yeah, explain the tunnel thing with more detail please." Jakob asked.
"That's not important." Iona responded. "I found an underground cave system. Someone or something made it. That planet was or is inhabited. I was exploring a tunnel and there was another tunnel to the left of me when I heard something. I looked to the left and saw the side of her face. She kept walking so I turned down the tunnel to her hallway and I called out her name. She turned around. And I saw the drought of her face for a split second. She continued to walk and picked up her pace. The tunnel lead to the surface. I was blinded by the light and she was gone." Iona explained. "I looked around for a clue, for anything, but there was nothing." Iona exclaimed.
Then they all looked at Luke. They expected some sort of emotion from him, but he was just staring at the floor. His expression wasn't pleasant. He wasn't smiling or frowning. His face held a scowl.
Leia coughed. "Umm, ok...so are you sure that it was really her?" Leia asked Iona.
"Um, yeah." Iona replied. "I spent like three years looking for her in pretty sure that it was her!" Iona shouted.
"Well it was dark in there wasn't it!" Leia argued.
"Yeah, but I know what I saw!" Iona yelled.
"Enough!" Luke screamed as he stood up. "That's enough. I don't care!" He shouted then ran out of the shed.
"Luke!" Leia chased after her brother.
"You really saw Morgana." Dahlia said.
"Yep." Iona confirmed.
"We should go back and look for her." Dahlia replied.
"I think I would have to agree with Luke on this one." Killian said with caution.
"What?" Dahlia asked. "Why not?"
"Because she left us." Killian responded.
"She was confused and lost." Dahlia argued.
"You sound exactly like Luke did." Killian replied. "He held onto this false hope that Morgana would come back, that we would find her and she would be okay, but that isn't the truth." Killian exclaimed.
"But it is the truth!" Dahlia shouted. "Iona saw her."
"I agree with Killian." Cax spoke up.
"I agree with Dahlia and Iona." Jakob responded.
"Majority rules." Dahlia smirked.
"I think you need to recount little girl. I know that Leia is against this and Luke obviously is too. We defiantly have the majority." Killian smirked back at her, which caused Dahlia's smugness to fade.
"Well we will have to see about that, now won't we." Dahlia left the she and they all followed her out.
Leia walked over. "Like went off to sulk in his bedroom." She said. "He prefers the shed, but it was a little to occupied for his taste." Leia explained.
"Do you think we should look for her?" Iona asked.
"That is a dumb question, she obviously doesn't want to look for the traitor who broke her brother's heart and cut off his hand." Killian snipped.
"No, actually, I think we need to find her." Leia responded. "I would like to help you convince him to join us, but I'm going to be late." She left them all in shock.
Dahlia giggled. Her, Iona, and Jakob went inside to find Luke.
"3PO, we are looking for Luke." Jakob said when they came in the house.
"Oh, yes. He is in his bedroom. First time I've seen master Luke out if that shed in months." 3PO explained.
"And his room is?" Jakob asked.
"Yes, down the hall, second door on the left." 3PO replied.
They scurried down the hall to talk to Luke.
