For so many years I have believed myself a failure. A failure to Anikin, to the Jedi, to the Light. But most of all to my master, my lover, my soul mate. I could not fulfil his last wish and in doing so doomed the people he had spent his life protecting, those he called friend, to a life of darkness.

I hid myself away, not wanting to see the knowing looks of all those who had survived. I was ready to give up. I was lost. Until Yoda found me.

We talked about the old days but there was no blame. We spoke of the Jedi being hunted, but there was no bitterness. We discussed the empires iron grip and its darkness that had spread from one side of the galaxy to the other but there was only understanding. It was then, when I had relaxed, that he told me something that made my world spin.

"Qui-Gon was not always right, in fact his last mistake has coursed you a lifetime of pain. This grief you carry with you must be let go Obi-Wan."

"But how can I when I..." even now, in front of him I couldn't speak of it.

"You never failed him, or us. You were fulfilling you destiny just as you are now. Qui-Gon Jinn was wrong, Anikin Skywalker was not the chosen one. He did not bring balance to the force. But you will...you are the chosen one."

"But how can that be?"

"You have brought forth the enemy, bringing power to the Darkside, but a time will come when you shall bring to us the light that will out shine the dark. You will bring balance to the force by guiding, teaching two, one has turned as he was supposed to but the next will not."

And the truth shall set you free
Free of guilt
Free of pain
Free of failure
Yoda left me but I was no longer alone.

I opened myself to the force as I had not done for years. I felt all the past Jedi around me, but the strongest presents was of that someone I knew well. I have missed you my Qui-Gon

I once was afraid of death, to once again be faced with all those I thought I had failed but now I find myself waiting for the light, waiting for my destiny, waiting because once it is done I will once again be with the other half of my soul. We have been apart to long but the end of the wait is coming nearer. I will be with him once more and this time it will be for eternity.

The End
