Chapter 12

A/N: This is just a reminder that Obi-Wan is only a few years older than Anakin in this story, putting him around 14 years older than Azel. Azel and Anakin are about 9 years apart, of course, and Azel is ~20. If the Obilynn age difference weirds you out, I'm sorry you gotta deal for now *hint hint spoiler cough*

Anyway, someone asked and I wanted to make sure I clarified that again. Thanks for reading!

Azel allowed the Force to guide her through the Temple. She has to admit, she feels much more confident wandering the halls with someone who actually knows the halls.

When they reached a particularly dark hallway, Azel flickered on her flashlight. She jumped at the sound of a lightsaber buzzing to life. Looking back she saw Obi-Wan holding out his weapon before him, his features glowing blue. Extra light, he'd said.

They walked down a hallway before Obi-Wan stopped in front of a closed double-door, Azel stopping with him. He looked at the doors long and hard as if contemplating something.

"What is it?" She asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.

"I use to come here to meditate," he told her. "Before I lived on Coruscant, I lived with my family on a less populated planet. We were able to see all the stars in the sky, and all the ships that flew close enough."

Azel heard the nostalgia in his voice, and couldn't help but relate. Tatooine is a dustball, but the stars in the sky are something to admire. She remembers when she stargazed as a child, dreaming of a brother she would never know.

Obi-Wan opened the doors, and walked inside with his lightsaber leading the way.

Inside is a room, and nothing more. It has a dome ceiling, and a very small, and tall, stand at the center.

Azel approached it with a frown, and then looked at Obi-Wan. He had closed the doors behind him, and started tinkering with a built-in wall compartment next to the doors.

"Given that this planet is nothing but city lights, it makes it difficult to see the night sky. But the Jedi always thought it would be important to know the geography of the galaxy. So," as he spoke, Obi-Wan removed something small from the compartment and then closed it. He approached Azel and the narrow pedestal. "We had this room to study and admire."

Azel was about to ask what he means, but Obi-Wan beat her to it by placing the object, which is a small translucent ball, on top of the stand before her.

The moment it touched, the entire room lit up.

Azel jumped in surprise, and looked around in awe. The entire room is aglow in a blue light, and floating around them are small and large blue dots. They range from the size of a coin, to the size of her fist.

Obi-Wan shut off his lightsaber, clipping it to his belt. Azel turned her light off as well. "This is our galaxy," he told her proudly.

A large smile lit up Azels features. "This is amazing," she said as she continued to look around. "It's no wonder you came here to meditate." She walked around the room, reaching her hand out to touch the floating stars and planets. Her hand went right through them. Still, the smile never left her face.

"Where are we?" She asked curiously, and looked over to him. Obi-Wan moved towards a spot not far from his position at the center. Azel followed, standing in front of him and a floating orb.

"Right here," he said gesturing to the planet that is right between them, and eye level with her.

"And where is Tatooine?" She asked.
