He settled himself on a rock and rested his hands on top of his stick, his posture for listening.


Once again, Anakin related the vision, leaving out his feelings about it. He knew that Yoda would want to know only the details.


Strangely, Yoda repeated the same thing that Obi-Wan had. "The One Below remains below," he murmured.


"Do you know who that is, Master Yoda?" Anakin asked.


Yoda nodded slowly. "Know her well, I do. Master Yaddle, it is."


"Master Yaddle was imprisoned for centuries on the world of Koda,"


Obi-Wan explained. "The Kodans gave her that name, The One Below."


Anakin nodded. He had known about Yaddle's long imprisonment, but he had never heard that name. Yaddle was the same species as Yoda, and sat on the Jedi Council. She was a revered Jedi Master. He was surprised that she'd been a part of his vision.


"About to leave on a mission to Mawan, she is," Yoda said. "A troubling one, I fear. Debated, we have, which Jedi team to send with her.


The answer, perhaps your vision is."


Anakin felt a rush of disappointment. He realized at that moment that he had been hoping that the vision meant he needed to travel to Tatooine.


He had imagined that he would be able to step out of his dreams and free his mother in reality. "I thought perhaps the vision meant I could somehow help the slaves on Tatooine," he said hesitantly.


Yoda and Obi-Wan both shook their heads.


"Careful you must be. Difficult to interpret, visions are," Yoda said.


"A map, a vision is not."


Anakin hid his impatience. Wasn't Yoda interpreting his vision for him, and telling him where he needed to go?


Obi-Wan sensed his confusion. "Visions of freeing slaves are not surprising," he told Anakin. "That desire rests deep within you. It is natural that it would rise up in some form. To follow a vision literally is often a mistake."
