Powers Of Persuasion

'Petro, I haven't expected your visit. R2 found me in the forest. I assumed that someone is looking for me.' She patted R2.
Petro was completely stunned by Ahsoka's voice although he had expected her.
She placed his clothes and his lightsaber on the ground.
After Petro stood up Ahsoka hugged him tightly.
When she let go off him again her smile turned into sadness.
'Tell me, is it true? I had visions a few days ago, I saw...familiar faces...dying.'
The young padawan looked to the ground, enough of an answer to Ahsoka.
'What happened?' She could hardly speak.

'Order 66?'
'Execution of the jedi...'
There was silence for some time.
'How many?'
'Almost all members of the order. I don't know exactly how many jedi did survive. Byph, Zatt, Ganodi and...and Katooni did not make it.'
'What happened to them?'
'Byph, Zatt and Ganodi were all killed by clones. I don't know what did happen to Gungi but there's a small chance he has survived. And Katooni...she was with me when they attacked. We could make it to the hangar but we were surprised by...'
He hesitated not sure what he should tell Ahsoka. She'd be devastated if she'd know that Anakin turned to the dark side.
'By a sith.'
'A sith? The sith lord the order has been searching for so long?'
'No, it was his apprentice. The sith lord is Chancellor Palpatine.'
'The Chancellor? Hmm...it all makes sense now. He must have controlled the Republic and the Separatists. Do you know something from..'
'From master Skywalker? No...but Master Kenobi and Master Yoda are both alive. I met them on Polis Massa and they've told me that they would go into hiding for some time.'
Ahsoka looked puzzled.
'I'm sure Anakin is alive. I would have felt his death.'
But she didn't look very convinced by herself.
'I'm glad Master Obi-Wan and Master Yoda are alive...'
'Ahsoka...I should tell you now why I'm here...Master Kenobi and Master Yoda sent me to you because...because they thought you could train me as your padawan.'
At first Ahsoka didn't reply to him. She obviously thought about what Petro has just told her.
Finally, she answered him. 'I'm not even a jedi knight. I think Master Obi-Wan is more qualified than I am.'
'But Master Kenobi said he has other things to take care of. You're the only possible jedi.'
She sighed. 'Fine. I'll train you.'
'Thank you, Master.'
'But you won't call me Master because I'm not a jedi knight nor a master. I'll just train you in the ways of the jedi. And you need a strand of hair long enough for a padawan braid.'
'Yes. Thank you mas...ah Ahsoka.' He turned to R2.
'Did you hear that R2? I'm a padawan! With which fighting style do we start?
With Soresu, Ataru or Shien and Djem So?'
Ahsoka laughed 'Calm down Petro. At first you'll learn how to use the force.'
He moaned.
'By the way, how did you find me?'

'Riyo's dead?' Ahsoka looked twisted in pain.
'Yes...I'm so sorry, I wasn't strong enough to save her.'
'No, it's not your fault, don't reproach yourself. I should have been there. I've failed them all.'
'But you couldn't know that this would happen, nobody did.'
Ahsoka sighed. 'So you traveled to Onderon, I guess?'
'Yes, I did. Lux told me that you've visited him.'
For a second Ahsoka looked nervous, but calmed down fast again.
'And that your plan was to travel to Shili.'
Petro lowered his head. 'Lux told me that he wants to make Onderon independent again, but when I've left the planet I saw huge star destroyers landing on Onderon. And when I asked Lux what's going on the communication has been interrupted.'
'You think they could have imprisoned him.'
'Yes. And I think we should save him.'
'So what do you propose young padawan?'
'A rescue mission. But this time I can do without Grievous.'
They both laughed by their memory of their mission on Florum.
Ahsoka activated her comlink. 'R7, prepare my ship. We're going on a mission.'
She turned to Petro. 'Where did you land your fighter?'
'Somewhere near the forest.'
'Okay, we'll meet up later.'
They separated and walked both in different directions.












Guys....thank you for over 600 reads! I didn't expect that I'd get so many reads :)
And I know that my story is not really exciting but I'm not this kind of a person who needs action all the time but I'll try to write chapters with more suspense in the future.
