《Star Wars EpisodeIVAU: Revival (Star Wars AU Series #2)》Ben's Retelling
Advertisement
Eden's POV
Yoda led us inside his living quarters, where it was sparsely furnished except for a fountain composed of singing stones. I kinda expected something a little messy, but hey, this wasn't a college dorm. Leave it to Yoda to be organized.
"The news, hides so much, it does. Rigged, it must be," Yoda nodded. "Tell the truth, it must, about things like Skywalker and Kenobi's disappearance,"
"What about it?" I folded my arms.
"The truth is, I was almost assassinated by the person who killed Bail Organa," Ben nodded.
"Really?!" I said, eyes widened. I heard it from school that Ben (or Obi-Wan, as he was called then) was a valiant Jedi Master who fought in the Battle of Mustafar. Why would he act like a craven and hide away? That just seemed way out of character.
"Why'd you have to hide away?" Luna questioned.
"Didn't he say he'd talk about that another time?" I hissed in Luna's stupid face.
"The reason I had to hide away was because I didn't want to be found by the person who assassinated Bail Organa," Ben began.
"Hey, we get that, but would you mind telling us what happened?" Luke said.
"It was a dark and stormy night,"
"Oh, no, here we go again," I sighed. Isn't that a little too...cliche?
"I remember it so well. There was an attack on the Jedi Temple,"
"That's basically Order 66," Luke blurted out. When will he stop being such an insufferable know it all?
"Now, let's not jump to conclusions here," Luna retorted.
"I remember walking back to the Jedi Temple. I was just minding my own business when suddenly, somebody cupped my mouth shut. It was a woman, a woman in black. She was accompanied by a few others. One of them was a commander going by the name of Yvonne,"

"Yvonne..." I murmured under my breath. Isn't she the right-hand woman of Hecate? She was there when Hecate tried to kill me.
"I fought for my life, but they kept assaulting me. I managed to remove Hecate's mask, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Ben continued.
"Who is she, really?" Luke questioned.
"I know her...but I couldn't remember her name,"
"What useful information," Luna murmured under her breath. "Knowing Hecate's true identity would make catching her a lot easier,"
"Then, somebody pulled Yvonne away from me, giving me the chance to get away. I watched in surprise as the assaulters were beaten up and defeated. It was Ahsoka Tano,"
"Ahsoka Tano..." I nodded. I remember learning about her in history class. The teachers always described her as a spunky teenage apprentice. At least...she was for a time. I also heard she was accused of bombing the Jedi Temple and to make a long story short, she left the Jedi Order.
"She asked me if I was alright. Then she took me back to her Jedi quarters and helped me with my bruises and cuts. She told me she was attacked by those same people and said I should flee. They've been lurking around for quite awhile," Ben concluded. Luke began to yawn.
"A little tired, you are?" Yoda smiled. "Sleep in Kenobi's quarters, you can,"
"I'm off to bed. See you later," Luke got up and headed off.
"Same," I followed Luke out of the door. A few seconds later, he stopped cold in his tracks and turned to me.
"Eden...there's something I need to figure out for myself," he said.
"What is it?"
"I have a feeling I might find out something extremely valuable. Can you come with me?"
"Sure thing," I said as I followed Luke. I had a gut feeling this was about Anakin...but I'm not psychic, am I? There's only one way to find out.

Princesses are few and far between — the ones worth fighting over, anyway — and the kingdoms have been divvied up between the sons of sons of sons of the heroes of old. No valour required.
