Obsession

It's just the beginning

Feral watched his brother as they step out of their ship and onto the desert planet. Maul took many deep breaths and Feral looked at him concerned.
"Brother is everything okay?" Feral placed a hand on Maul's shoulder
"Yes Feral, everything is fine. I just forgot what it's like to breath without so much weight on my chest." Maul replied taking in a deep breath. "Yes Kenobi must be somewhere on this planet."

Sitting on a dune watching over a series of moisture farms, a man with greying hair looked around. He had been meditating and his blue eyes snapped opened. He heard the distant call of Raiders and he stood up. He had a terrible and rough cough making his throat feel sore. He sighed, his chest felt tight and he could feel a fever coming on. He pulled out some binoculars and looked out around Tosche Station. He saw the boy he was ordered to watch walk over there and he saw a ship he never seen before land on the outskirts of Tosche Station. Either bounty hunters again or the Empire actually sent someone out here to handle him. The man knew he was just tempting the Empire to actually send out its own assassins.
He would have to go out and see who it was later, he could see a sandstorm coming in from the distance. It didn't look that bad though. Should be here and gone quickly, the man thought and walked to his hut preparing for the storming.

Maul and Feral walked into the the small building as the owner was shutting everything preparing for the sandstorm. The two brothers were in dark grey cloaks and there was a young teen boy who pushed his way pass the brothers.
"Hey! Luke you finally made it!" Another teen sitting greeted the teen getting up and hugging him.
"I know Biggs! Uncle Owen wasn't going to get me come, but Aunt Beru said that I could since it's been a while since I came out here." Luke said and the brothers walked to the table that showed off ship parts.
"So brother, do you think he's nearby?" Feral quietly asked Maul.
"My chest hasn't been this light in a long time Feral. I know he's here, but I keep trying to use the Force and I can't find him." Maul said rubbing his chest.
"Can I get you guys something to drink? I have cold drinks in the back if you want something." The owner said to the four.
"Sure thing, I'll have one!" Biggs called out.
"Luke, how about you?" The owner asked
"No thanks." Luke replied
"How about you men? Thirsty?" The owner looked at the brothers
"My brother and I would like one too." Feral answered before Maul could. The owner left around a corner and soon came back with three glasses of Bantha milk. The owner gave Biggs his glass first than went over to the brothers and gave them theirs.
"So your Zabraks. It's strange to see your kind over on this side of galaxy. So what are you two? Bounty hunters?" The owner asked
"Bounty hunters have nothing to do here! So if that's what you are you both should just get back into your ship and go back to where ever you came from!" Biggs said cutting in. "Everyone here are peaceful people, most of us are moisture farmers! So you're just waisting your time."
"That's enough Biggs, who ever these men are, are most likely none of your business." The owner snapped at the teen.
"Actually we are here looking a man." Maul spoke up taking a sip of the blue milk.
"And who's that exactly?" The owner asked curiously
"He goes by the name Obi-wan Kenobi." Maul answered the man
"There's no one with the name Obi-wan around here, but there is the old hermit Ben Kenobi. He lives in the western dune sea. He use to come by my uncle's moisture farm all the time, but my uncle had gotten angry at him for some reason. Now people hardly see him." Luke spoke up and Maul turned to him. He swore this boy looked familiar, but he doubted the boy ever left the planet and he never came here after he first encountered Obi-wan's old master.
"The western dune sea you say boy?" Maul asked wanting confirmation
"Yes sir." Luke nodded
"What's your name boy?" Maul asked
"Luke sir. Luke Skywalker." Luke replied and Maul did his best to quell the growl in his chest. That name. It had lit a spark in Maul.
"Thank you Luke for telling us." Feral spoke feeling his brother's rage.
"Is Old Ben in some kind of trouble?" Luke asked curiously
"No he isn't." Feral responded "We're actually trying to reunite Kenobi with some family of his."
"Well that's good. He's been getting sick a lot and there's been no one there to look after him. My aunt says she sends doctors out there to help him, but he keeps turning all of them down." Luke says and Maul's anger turned to shock and fright. Maul looked at his brother not needing to say a thing out loud. Feral could sense it and Feral leaned on Maul slightly hoping his touch would feel comforting and not tip the boy off to anything.
"Well we'll make sure he's given the proper care. Even if he isn't the Kenobi we're looking for. We'll make sure he gets proper medical care." Feral said calmly he looked at Maul who may have looked calm, but Feral could sense all of his emotions.
"Thank you." Luke said and they all waited for the storm to calm down.
"By the Fanged God, I've hurt him again Feral." Maul said looking down
"You didn't know brother. You thought he was dead and you were protecting everyone. Don't blame yourself Maul." Feral said placing a hand on Maul's shoulder.
"This can not possibly be my Kenobi." Maul hissed his mind feeding off of the anger toward the Skywalker.
"Brother?" Feral was confused, what had caused this sudden change?
"My Kenobi accepts help when he needs it. The first time Kenobi got sick he depended on Savage to get him to the Nightsisters and Mother. He knew they could help him. He knows that there are people who are out here willing to help him, even those Skywalkers are willing to help him. Kenobi accepts help from everyone no matter how small." Maul explained
"Maybe he's change. He's a Jedi in hiding and this isn't exactly a wealthy planet brother." Feral quietly told him. "To turn in someone that can use the Force would make that person rich. You can't trust people these days."
"No. Kenobi trusts everyone even strangers. He trusts them until they break his trust. Even than he would trust them, just to a limit. No who ever this Kenobi is isn't my Kenobi. But, my apprentice seemed quite intrigued to realize that he was alive, so this Kenobi must be a key component to destroying the Sith." Maul thought out loud
"Brother, no. Don't think like that." Feral said and they heard the door open.
"The storm's passed over us now, you guys. It's safe to go out now." The owner said and without another word Maul left the small building with Feral following quickly behind him.
