Nessie and Anakin were sitting in the cockpit, while Obi-Wan and Lucas were taking a nap.
“ So, you are from Corellia? Do you have any family there?” Anakin took a sip of his juice.
“ Yeah, it had always been my mom and I. Am so happy for her, and glad that she has someone who loves her. I really like both Cliegg and Owen.” Anakin put his empty cup down in the holder for drinks. “
I like them too. They seemed very nice, good people. So, do you know where we are going?” Nessie finished her juice and also put her empty cup into the drink holder.
“ We are going to a planet called Slivanus. It is very mountainous, covered with forest, deserts, grassy plains, rivers and oceans. What are you two talking about?” Obi-Wan came into the cockpit.
“ I was telling Anakin about my family and was asking him, if there was any other members of his family?” Nessie looked up at Obi-Wan.
“ Yes, I did see her. I also learned that she is free from slavery, married and she now has a stepson. I did not know I was going to Tatooine, when I was told that I was going on the mission with Nessie.” Anakin looked at his Master and best friend.
“ Master, please do not get on to him. I was the one that is mostly at fault for not telling him. I could not really remember, until we were in space and that brought back the memory, as to where we were going, when we were attacked.” Nessie looked from Anakin, then to Obi-Wan, as she was telling the Jedi Master what really happened.
“ I should be mad, but I am really glad that he got to see her, mostly after all these years. How much longer until we exit hyperspace?” Obi-Wan tried to look at the Navi-Computer.
“ We have twenty minutes left. So, in that time, you may have the pilot’s seat. I am going to meditate for a little bit.” Nessie stood up and motioned for Obi-Wan to have a seat in the pilot’s chair.
Obi-Wan nodded and moved to the side, so that way, Nessie could get passed him, as she exited the cockpit. Nessie walked out of the cockpit and saw Lucas sitting on the couch, with his eyes closed, as he was meditating.
“ Nessie, please come over here and sit down next to me. I happened to overhear you tell Anakin that you are from Corellia, and that you still have family living there. I can also sense that you have other family members and one of them is living on Coruscant.” Lucas opened his eyes and motioned for Nessie to sit down next to him.
“ Yes, my family does live on Corellia. I do have a cousin, who is in the Galactic Senate.” Nessie sat down on the couch next to Lucas, but what she did not tell him, was that her second oldest brother is also a Senator on Coruscant.
As they sat there, Lucas told Nessie what he is going to expect from her. Then, there was a beeping sound, coming from the cockpit. It was the Navi-Computer and it was letting them know that they were coming out of hyperspace. Nessie went into the cockpit and watched Obi-Wan fly the ship closer to the planet, before he got up and motioned for her take over the controls. The coordinates that Nessie was following, led her over a mountain and down into a forest, to where a small clearing was. As she carefully landed the ship, she looked out of the view port and saw a small group of people, standing around to greet them. The four Jedi walked down the ramp of the ship and came up to the small group of people, that was waiting for them to exit the ship.
“ Welcome to Silvanus, Jedi. I am Orcus and this is my wife, Ceres. Please follow us and we will show you to your rooms, when we get the house.” the man came up to the group and shook all their hands, in a warm welcoming.
“ Master, I can sense that these people are very nervous about something, but I cannot see what they are so scared of.” Nessie whispered to Lucas.
“ I too can feel it.” Lucas saw Obi-Wan and Anakin nod their way.
The group hurried through the wood, until they came up to a stone wall. There were towers on each corner of the walls. Walking through the gate, they saw people hurrying to gather up their things, getting inside their houses, before the sun set further behind the woods that surround the small town.
“ Please, come inside our house. We only have two extra rooms, but each of them has two beds. Dinner will be served in five minutes.” Ceres opened the house door and they all walked into the foyer of the house.
“ We do not have a problem. I must see about dinner, so excuse me.” Ceres nodded to the Jedi and her husband, before leaving the small group.
“ Here is your rooms. The guest bathroom is right next to that room. If you go to the room next to it, that is the kitchen, and the dining room is also there too.” Orcus motioned to each room from the guest rooms.
“ Ok. Thank you, Orcus. We will join you very shortly.” Obi-Wan nodded to the older man.
Orcus left the Jedi and headed into the kitchen to help his wife with dinner. As it turned out, Anakin and Nessie were going to be in one room, with the two older men in the other room. Once they put their robes in their rooms, they cleaned up just a little bit, before joining their host and hostess for dinner. While they ate dinner,Orcus told them that they can go to the hospital and help them with the medical supplies. Tomorrow they can pass out the food supplies to all the families that are here in the town.
It was Nessie ,who said that the people here were also not telling them something. Orcus finally told them that a few of the towns people had gone missing. He asked the four Jedi, if they could find out what it is that is taking the people from the town. After dinner, the four Jedi went to the back patio and meditated for a little while, before going off to bed. As they were heading into the house, Nessie saw some movement between two other houses, but it was gone as quickly as she saw it. Following Anakin inside the house, she went to the bedroom and got ready for bed, as Anakin was in the bathroom. He too was getting ready for bed, and once Anakin came into the room, they both climbed into their beds and fell asleep.
