LIFESTYLES: PAST PRINCIPLES 2

Obi-Wan concentrated in the circle of fire. He floated lotus style above the conflaguration that danced about mystic symbols on the floor.

*By hel's eternal glow, let past timelines show.*

Sheets of flame engulfed the rec room. The walls themselves formed a panoramic viewscreen of Hel.

*Show timespan of Quogan.*

General scenes shifted. Obi-Wan smiled.

"Now _this_ is what I've been looking for..."

****

Qui-Gon had fed particularly well that night. He did his best to convince his lover to celebrate the evening properly, but was turned down. Restlessly he turned in bed.

_What's he about down there? I'd better go look..._

Slipping on a robe he padded downstairs.

****

Obi-Wan grinned. The past came into full view. His fathers' past...

_In the grim gloom two large wolves cantered at measured pace. One black, one silver. They were followed by a golden cub, fur glimmering like polished metal._

*Mother, uncle. What circle are we in now?*

The black wolf turned her sleek head. *Pay attention, Quogan. We're in the sixth circle. Look about now.*

The cub ran madly in circles around them both. *Oh, look. That soul over there is so fat. See how the others are all burned up? Their skin is so messed up and cracked!*

The silver wolf followed the cub to a craggy ledge. Charred souls attacked each other near the lava pits. *See, little one? The violent think to relieve their agony with more violence.*

The cub snapped. *Then they are stupid. I will bite them* Qui-Gon raced down the hill.

Llane came up alongside Litthsyss. *Methinks he will find soul a good bite.*

A massive silver head nuzzled her sleek black one. *Aye, but he needs to keep his teeth out of stones.*

The black she wolf krinkled her nose in a smile. *True. And I could use this respite.*

The two adults sat on the jagged outcropping, their tails touching. They watched the cub chase wicked souls.

Obi-Wan was serene as he observed the past. _It's fascinating to see the dimension of their relationship. They don't really speak of it._

The scene continued. Litthsyss spoke, his pelt sparkling like quicksilver.

*This journey is too soon for thee. You are still nursing.*

The black she wolf leaned into him. *Perhaps you're right. I thought Quogan was strong enough to endure a week's journey through hel. But my own stamina is not yet what I'd hoped.*

He nosed her up. *Come. Enough for one day. We'll rest in the caves.*

Llane could barely move now. Litthsyss nudged her along gently.

The sleek head was low in exhaustion. *You'll have to get Quogan.*

*Don't worry. Just rest* they edged to the mouth of a cave. Llane dropped in a patch of bushy growth.

Litthsyss paced across a rocky ridge. He bayed. The golden cub ran towards him.

*Where's mother?* he ran in crazed circles.

*Silly cub. Be still! Your mother rests in the caves. Now come with me.*

They padded back. *Did you see me bite them?*

*Yes, I did.*

They went on in silence a bit. The cub abruptly stopped, wandering away again. He gobbled small stones rapidly.

The silver wolf turned. *What are you about there? Come back!*

*I'm hungry* the cub yowled. He grabbed another stone, a large one.

Litthsyss moved at him. *Drop it!*

Qui-Gon ran with the stone in his jaws and attempted to swallow it. Litthsyss chased him down.

The great wolf shook him hard by the scruff. *I said drop it!!*

Rattled senseless, the cub coughed up all the stones. Litthsyss carried him over to Llane.

She lay at the mouth of the cave expectantly. Qui-Gon ran at her, rooting at her teats.

*I'm hungry, mother!* a small nose poked.

*Force. This cub will be the end of me yet!* she watched as he nursed voraciously. *He feeds like nothing I've ever seen.*

*He certainly grows fast enough.*

Llane nodded, her tongue flapping out. *It will be awhile before he grows into his feet, though.*

Litthsyss licked her. *Stay here. I will bring thee a soul.*

Her eyes closed as Qui-Gon suckled milk. *A tender one, please.*

*Of course* powerful haunches bounded across the dank valley.

"Ha ha ha!!"

Obi-Wan spun. The flames went dark.

"Father!"

Big grin. "No wonder you didn't wish to come to bed!"

Sheepish shrug. "Well, I heard the story about you and the stones so much I just wondered."

Electric blue eyes sparked. "Actually, I enjoyed that. Although that specific memory I don't recall."

Obi-Wan floated down. "You mean your memory isn't complete?!"

Qui-Gon gripped him. "Oh yes. But an immortal has so many isolated memories to access. I suppose if I focused on it I would remember."

Obi-Wan kissed him. "You were a cute little cub. Cute but greedy. That appetite was pretty frightening."

A snicker. Wild kisses on the fine face. "And I'm _still_ greedy. Now come upstairs" he pulled Obi-Wan along.

Obi-Wan laughed as he was being led. "As long as you don't drain _me_ dry, too!"

Qui-Gon gave a devilish wink. "Dragons are _all_ appetite. One tender lover on the side, please."

Obi-Wan looked through red lashes. "Here or to go?" his tongue curled out.

"SSs. Right here!" Qui-Gon smothered his lips as they toppled to the floor.
