Towards the future I see

Chapter 37 Part 3

Thrawn had said that the crew had now time to rest since once we get to the coordinates everything would be set for battle. Vader had gone back to his quarters and I set everything for him to rest. Which meant setting up a bacta tank. Once he was in and I made sure to the guards not to let anyone in, I went to my room. I thought continuing my robe, but then my comlink turned on. Really? I didn't need to look who was the caller when I already opened the com.

"Lady Mira, would you come to my office?" Thrawn asked through the comlink. He didn't ask if I was free. Rukh must have reported that much. I wanted to fume a bit for the bad timing but knowing Thrawn he had waited until this very moment to call me. I will go but if there is another session of training dance or combat I will lash out at him.

I got to his office and noticed new holos of the art pieces describing the Grysks. He was very committed to this mission. The question was now, why?

"You called Grand Admiral," I said when I was fully inside his office.

"Yes, please have a seat." He said mentioning the chair in front of his desk. I sat on the chair and wait for him to reveal the reason he had to call for me. Apparently, it wasn't for a lesson. Otherwise, he would have already greeted or begun the conversation in Sy Bisti.

"I understood that you had no difficulty in remaining at the bridge during the assault on the Grysk's ship." He said.

"That is correct. Did you tell Commodore Faro about my condition?" I asked.

"Not any details, but she did witness your discomfort during the battle on Atollon. I simply told her that you might still be feeling under the weather." He explained. I simply hummed in understanding his explanation. "I wish to know what vision did you see." He continued.

"How do you know I had a vision?" I asked as if I didn't.

"Come now, you danced the dance of Mystic dream. Surely, you had a vision. But apparently not of the events that proceeded before." Thrawn said giving me a look that he usually gave when I refused to continue speaking in Sy Bisti. I know already where that leads.

"Fine. Yes, I had a vision. But not of the future. It was a vision of the past." I admitted.

"Past of the Amarde clan?" Thrawn inquired.

"No." I hesitated to tell him but it might be better to do it. I already know that I can't speak about it to Vader. "You said before that you have already been to Batuu."

"Indeed I did," Thrawn said.

"I saw you with Anakin Skywalker. You two were fighting in some cantina. Then you fought somewhere in the woods, you flew to Mokivj and there... you ran at some rooftops with Padme Amidala." I said.

"Those events did transpire in the past," Thrawn said.

"I saw you use a lightsaber... to cut out a shield generator. I saw you bring it to your ship. Or I think that was your ship, there was a Chiss pilot... No. Not a pilot, a child piloting the ship...It was..." I said as my head began to hurt as I tried to recall the vision. I had to rise from my seat and take a few steps away from the desk. "It was a young girl. I hear you address her as a pilot... you were... waiting in the orbit of Batuu... you... her... No, wait... she is..."

"Mira." His voice is soft as if he was shushing a child. My head still hurt, I don't know why. I was overthinking the vision. But it bothered me, why would Thrawn back then be on a mission with a child? Why was a child piloting a ship? Is it a Chiss thing? Do children begin their training early? No, it can't be it. There is no way a child would be even allowed to go on a mission. Without realizing he had his arms around me and held me close. His hand was placed on my forehead as he tried the temperature. It felt nice yet still, I was confused.
