Chapter 1 No More Love And No more Pride

Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you.
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do.

It had been hours now, since the Glory Street confrontation in the large and ruined city of Zehava. Obi-Wan lay in the darkness of the night. There was so much silence now. Tears were rolling down his cheeks, mixing with blood and dirt. He knew he was dying. His wounds needed immediate care but there was no one who could help him. No one who cared. Cerasi was dead. It had hurt so much. It still hurt, more than the physical pain even now. It had felt like he died that moment with her. It wasn't far from the truth. Neild had thought the elders were responsible for her death, and fired in their direction. Wehutti began firing too. Obi-Wan had been shot in the abdomen by a blaster bolt and was left there after the battle ended several hours later. No one cared about what the boy had become. They were probably planning the next battle. Now Obi-Wan laid there, looking at the purple clouds as he silently cried. He never thought he could see so much beauty in the sky. Even the rain was beautiful. It was like a thousand shooting stars coming down to caress his battered body. Cerasi would have liked this. She always saw the beauty of things, even in the darkest hours. More tears escaped his aquamarine eyes. Why was she gone? Why couldn't she be here with him? He would never see her bright smile and her kind spirit. He had no one left. Even Qui-Gon wasn't here in his last moments. Oh, how he longed for Qui-Gon to be here by his side. His hands would sooth his wounds and his soft thoughts through their bond would comfort him and ease the grief that was suffocating him. But he wasn't there, and Obi-Wan knew he would never see him again. That thought made the young man cry out in sorrow and despair.

"Qui-Gon!"

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the darkness I remain.

He hardly could feel his body now. He knew his end was near, but he was not afraid. He might not be a Jedi anymore, but he would still die as one. He had done all he could for peace. Peace Cerasi wanted so much, but never had. He had given everything he had for that. Maybe no one would remember him, but at least he had honoured Qui-Gon's training. He wished his Master former Master would be at peace with the impulsive decision Obi-Wan had made. He wished he would forgive him for choosing to stay on this war torned planet, for now he would never have the chance to apologize. He would never have the chance to say "I'm sorry" for all the wrong he had done to him. He knew the pain he had caused the Master by his betrayal, and his heart ached as he remembered the pain in Qui-Gon's eyes. It wasn't Qui-Gon's fault. It was his… Maybe that because he was now dying, he could see all what had happened with clearer eyes. He felt his spirit glow in the embrace of the Force. Soon it would join it for eternity.

Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.

The Force. It was so bright. It felt clean. It felt warm. It felt like home. He couldn't feel the rain anymore. He felt no more pain. It was only light and comfort. Was that it? Was he dead? It felt so much more reassuring than he thought. He still could see the purple sky through the brightness, and let a last tear roll down his face.

"Qui-Gon…" he whispered before embracing the light.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
