Obi-wan rose from his seat and bowed. "Your highness. I am Obi-wan Kenobi, and I am a friend of your fathers." he said before gesturing to Adam, who was trying not to fumble the tea. "This is my Padawan, Adam." said Obi-wan as Adam set the tea tray down, along with an extra canteen of water.

"I saw your escape pod come down in the wastes. I loaded you and your droid into my landspeeder and brought you here." said Adam as he poured out cups of tea for everyone. "I'm sorry about your dress, but I think we have some spare clothing for you if you want." Obi-wan nodded and took the tea in both hands.

"Now tell me, young Kijani. What brings you out this far?" asked the Jedi Master. Adam also took a cup of tea as he sat in the chair next to his master. Honestly, he was also curious as to how an Alderaanian princess ended up on a dustball like Tatooine all by her self.

Obi-Wan Kenobi returned home not long after Adam brought the princess in, gave her a whole canteen of water, and got her comfortable. To his credit, the old Jedi wasn't mad or even all that surprised when Adam told him what happened.

"You have done well in bringing her here." said the Jedi Master. "I suspect that either the Tuskans or the Empire would have found her by now if you hadn't intervened."

The Galactic Empire. The bogey man that always seemed like someone else's problem. They never seemed to have any business on Tatooine, but if they were here looking for Kijani...

"How do you know she's a rebel?" asked Adam, now wondering how much danger he put himself and his master in.

Obi-Wan smirked. "Her father and I have been friends for many years, and he has never been shy about his political leanings."

Adam was about to ask his master what they were supposed to do know when he heard a voice coming from his bedroom. The astromech droid who designated himself as R2-D2 chirped loudly and went over to his master. "We're out here. Can I interest her majesty in some tea?"

Adam raced along the dusty trails in his speeder, pushing the aging speeder as fast as it could go. The suns were almost totally set, and anyone in that pod wouldn't survive long in the cold, desert nights. If they weren't dead already, that is.

Making a hard turn around a rocky outcropping, he suddenly notice a flashing light not far ahead. At first, Adam thought it was the crashed pod, but he still had a ways to go before reaching it. Then he saw the small figure of a droid, and he put on the brakes on his speeder. As the young man leapt from the transport and onto the desert sand, he could see that the blue and silver astromech droid was standing near a person, laying prone in the sand. He could only took a single step forward before the droid produced a shock-arm from his chassis and pointed it threateningly.

"Easy, little guy. I'm not dangerous." he said, and the droid beeped a response. Adam knew enough about binary to know that the droid had a very obscene vocabulary. Raising his hands, he took another step forward.

"Look, however that is laying there needs help, and I'm the only person around. If you let me, I can take you both back to my place. Trust me when I say that you don't want to spend the night out here." The droid looked from Adam, then to his master, then back to Adam before trilling in acceptance. The young man quickly ran over to the body in the sand.

Much to Adam's surprise, he recognized the unconscious form that lay before him. Princess Kijani of Alderaan was a philanthropist, a celebrity and the object of affection for beings from here to the Core Worlds. And here she was, in need of help, and Adam was the only person around to help her.

Putting it from his mind, Adam scooped up the young woman in his arms and carried her back to his speeder. Seating her in the passenger's seat, Adam then lifted the droid as best as he could and put him in the back. With them secure, he got into the drivers seat and sped back to his home. Try to hold on, Princess. he thought, glancing over to her.

A long time ago...

Captain Pellion of the Imperial Navy briskly walked through the halls of the Tantive 4. The stormtroopers had taken the ship quickly, sweeping aside the pitiful defenses of the Rebel volunteers. Once the skirmish was finished, Pellion had searched the ships computer banks for any sign of the stolen Death Star plans. He found nothing. He cursed to himself as he walked the length of the ship, looking for Lord Vader.

He let the plans slip through his fingers on Scarif. It's his fault were chasing these Rebel rats. he cursed to himself. Worse still, Princess Kijani was nowhere to be found. An escape pod was jettisoned, but the gunnery officer in charge decided it was a waste of ammo. If the princess took the plans in that escape pod, then Vader is going to kill him.

Pellion found Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, in the engine room of the Tantive 4. The captain walked in just in time to see a Rebel officer fly against a bulkhead. Before Pellion could think on this further, the low, booming voice of Lord Vader filled the room.

"What have you found, Captain?" said the Dark Lord. Pellion didn't need to see the face underneath the Sith Lord's famous mask to know was very angry.

"We have discovered nothing on the Rebel computers regarding the plans, and the princess hasn't been found yet either." said Pellion. When Vader didn't answer, he chose to continue on.

"Gunnery Officer Velus noted that an escape pod was jettisoned before we made contact, but he chose not to fire on it. Apparently the lifeform reading on the pod came back negative." After receiving Pellion report, Vader finally did speak.

"Send a detachment down to recover the escape pod. Scuttle this ship and have Velus report to me for... discipline."

"I'm telling you, Threepio, those two ships were just firing on each other!" said the young man as he looked up into the sky with his macro-binoculars.

"I'm sorry, Master Adam. This sand is interfering with my optics." replied the once shiny protocol droid. Adam Skywalker stood in front of the small hut, nestled between the rocks of the Junland Wastes. It was the only home he had ever known, though the man he called master wasn't there. Obi-Wan Kenobi often went out into the desert alone, leaving Adam alone with the protocol droid.

Suddenly a burst of light from the smaller of the orbiting ships. At first, Adam thought it was firing it's lasers again, but then he realized that whatever it shot was coming towards them. Adam felt the instinctive need to duck just as the escape pod passed overhead, past the small hut and into the Dune Sea. Though it was many miles away, the wastes were flat and clear enough for Adam to see it land.

It was late in the afternoon, and the twin suns of Tatooine were beginning to set. Soon it would be dark, and the night would drawn the Tuskans, or creature far worse.

Dropping his binoculars, Adam ran to his landspeeder. "Threepio, if Obi-Wan comes back, tell him I went out. If anyone is in that pod, they don't stand a chance in the wastes." Before the droid could protest, Adam started his speeder and bolted from the small hut, past the rocks and into the Dune Sea. As he drove, he felt the reassuring weight of his father's lightsaber against his hip.

"I hope I won't need this." Adam said, casually patting the durasteel grip.

Reynault nodded. "Right. Let's get to it." he said. Reynault wasn't worried about a few feet of water, even if it would make his armor rust. Still, the idea of a massive predator lurking just below the surface was enough to put him on edge. He checked the strap on his shield and drew his sword.

"Let's hope my first time in a swamp doesn't end with me getting eaten."

Longwater Points of Interest

Town Hall and Sheriff's Office

The Town Hall is located in the center of town, and is easily the tallest building in Longwater aside from the church. The current mayor, Zachary Quinton, has won the last two elections by virtue of nobody running against him. Still, he is much respected by the town, and is a competent mayor. Next to the Town Hall is the Sheriff's Office, which contains one desk, a single cell with a cot, and a coach gun hanging on the wall. The cell is empty most days, accept for the occasional drunk who tried to start a brawl.

Roy's Cantina

Roy's Cantina is one of two watering holes in Longwater, and is easily the most popular. Roy Stoakes keeps a clean establishment, and is usually packed nightly, both with locals and travelers heading out further west. The three employees are Roy, his daughter Rebecca, and Tiberius Fauntleroy, who plays the piano when he isn't busy drinking himself into a stupor. The cantina is also has a selection of rooms for rent, and any traveler looking for a place to rest could do a hell of a lot worse than Roy's.

Blucher's Armory

Blucher's Armory is Longwater's most popular store, which is well stocked with whatever a traveler needs for the long rode west. As the name suggests, it is especially well stocked with weapons. The shopkeeper, Friedrich Blucher, was a former soldier of the Prussian Friekorps, and likes to keep up with the modern trends in regards to firearms. The sign above his shop says: Killing is wrong, but if you want to do it right, buy from Blucher.

St. Cyprian's Church

St. Cyprian's Church is usually quiet except for Sunday, but the one person who spends most of their time their is Father Stone. The priest is a humble and polite man in his early forties. He would almost be considered handsome if it weren't for the vicious looking scar over his right eye. Many have asked him where he got it from, but he refuses to answer. Stone also doesn't speak much about his past, and most parishioners usually leave him alone out of respect.

The church itself is large, but plain, with simple wood pews lined up before an altar and a fifteen foot tall cross. The church is adjoined to a cemetery, but only the wealthiest and influential townsfolk can ever find plots. Everyone else is buried at Black Mountain Cemetary, which is nearly two miles from town.
