Star Wars Across the Stars Obi-Wan x Reader (On Hold)

Chapter 16

I felt the sun hit me from the window in my room. my eyes fluttered open slowly taking in my surroundings. 

'it's later than usual.' 

I bolted upright. the archives! then another thought occurred. 

'wait... I have the off today.' 

I remember master Jocasta say that I deserve a break every once in while. saying I work to the point of passing out without any thought to my health. I couldn't argue with her seeing as she had some points. well at least I got to sleep in for once. I thought for a bit. 

"ok after breakfast, or maybe it's lunch at this point. but after food I'll meditate while trying to follow force signatures." 

I've gotten much better over time. I've even been able to extend my range of tracking a little more each time. although for some reason it's easier if I place my hand down on surface that's grounded. maybe it just makes me feel I can keep a stronger connection. I make my way to the meditation garden and take a seat under one of the trees closing my eyes. 

"ok. just calm your mind and let the energy flow." 

in my minds eye I can see tons of small paths of light. almost like ribbons. each one starting from where I  rested my palm on the ground. each leading me to someone or something. all I'd have to do is feel for the one I'm looking for, and it would present itself to me. 

"now to begin." 

let's see where master Windu is. one of the strands began to glow brighter. concentrating I let my minds eye follow the path weaving it's way through the temples halls. other ribbons of light crisscrossed over it. still with concentration; the path I was following kept its light bright and strong. it kept on winding down the halls, till it made its way into the council's chamber. stopping at the foot of a chair, where he sat. 

"why am I not surprised." 

I sighed. I always tried tracking down the force signatures I know. trying to see if I can extend my range more and more. but every time, I always hit a wall after a certain distance. it's not surprising though. everything has limits. but that doesn't mean we can't try to overcome them. my latest brake through on range so far, was being able to go as far as the first block outside the temple. after a while of practice navigating the range of the temple was second nature. now let's see about Obi-Wan and Anakin. two paths glowed bright. I managed to figure out how to track multiple targets at once. unfortunately it hardly works.  and when it dose, the connection fades fast. I focus on the two paths, there was a flash of the room. they were in training before cutting off almost instantly. I grown and fall on my back. just laying staring at the sky. 

"why can't I do it? it's just getting annoying." 

I watch the clouds moving slowly across the sky. 

"maybe if I continue the basics more and wait till vos comes back. he'll probably have some pointers. when'd he say he'd come back again? in another month maybe? I could pull off extending my range farther than the first block past the temple, but then again I would probably be pushing my luck with it." 

the farther away my target was, sometimes the weaker the connection would get. and it would be to taxing to keep the connection. otherwise there would be a possibility of passing out. no not a possibility, definitely would be passing out. I probably just need more time and practice. not to mention patience but still... 

"the clouds look pretty with the blue sky." 

I close my eyes letting everything go. I could feel the energy of everything flowing around me. it was like controlled chaos. dark and light. loud and quiet. yin and yang. and the in between. I could feel it all. everything. ever since I started this training in tracking, I could feel more through the force. more then I ever have before. but with that I could feel something more. something that wasn't there before. no that's not correct. it was there. it's just that I wasn't aware of it before. and the fact that whatever it is has such an impact on the force around and inside me scares me. this will definitely be something that I need to figure out. still I should probably talk to Yoda about this. but then again.... he's very busy with the council and teaching the younglings. and I'm a Jedi knight now. I can't always rely on him for everything when I need knowledge about something. he trusted me and believes I'm ready to take the next step in my everlasting training of the force. 

"mmmm." 

I close my eyes, placing my palm on the ground. the ribbons of light appearing again. taking a random one to follow. following it I find myself in the archives. I see 3 younglings talking with master Jacosta. 

"where is y/n?" 

"I'm afraid she's not here today." 

"what? why?" 

"she needed a day off, so I told her to relax today." 

"awww... but she usually reads to us." 

"She'll be back tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be happy to read to all of you then. now you all should get back to your study's." 

there was cores of sad "okays." as they left and master jacosta headed in a different direction. I let go of the connection opening my eyes. 

"that was new. it felt more out of body that time. and I could hear not just see. that'll come in handy later down the rode, if it's ever called for." 

I got up and stretched. 

"well that's enough practice for today." 

well I guess I should say tonight since it looks like the sun is beginning to set. Obi-Wan and Anakin are probably waiting for me at the cafeteria. and I should probably go to bed early tonight too, so master jacosta will be less worried about my health. but before bed I'll visit with Anakin a little. he's been training so hard that I haven't gotten as much time to talk with him. I know how hard training can be. even though he's a fast learner it's still difficult to take on a title with so much expectation that comes with it. and let's be real Obi-Wan isn't very good when talking to younger kids, despite his patience. but then again he wasn't bad at it either. just a little rough around the edges. and Anakin has a bit of an attitude at times. and is short on patience. an important thing that needs to be learned if your to be a Jedi. probably one of the hardest things to learn too. hopefully they'll both see this as an opportunity to learn from each other.
