The past few days have passed as a blur for Anakin. He thought about it as he walked through the halls of The Jedi Temple. 

His master died, and then his body disappeared somehow?

After he returned to The Jedi Temple with Obi-Wan, who was distraught, Anakin went to his room, where he was helped to deal with his loss, by Grandmaster Yoda, who was already waiting for him there. 

The two powerhouses, had always had an unspoken bond.

Maybe it had to be with one being The Grandmaster, and the other being The Chosen One. Or it's because Yoda was always interested in Anakin and his vast potential.

From the moment they met Yoda could feel everything inside of Anakin.

The trauma.

The pain.

The suffering.

The coldness.

The darkness...

Yoda, had always done his best with training Anakin, making sure they boy never strayed to close to the darkness. 

From Anakin's perspective, he had never seen one of Yoda's Species before there were hundreds of people and hundreds of different species that passed through Mos Espa, and yet he'd never seen one of Yoda's kind.

He's seen every species out there, from Toydarians, Zabraks, Twileks, Togrutas, Rodians, but none of them were like Grandmaster Yoda, or Master Yaddle.

He didn't know why Yoda looked at him with look of grimace, but also fear.

Not fear of his power but fear of him as a person, like he was different somehow. And it's not because he's The Chosen One, this is something else....

Like he met him or someone related to him, previously.

And it didn't end well.

That somehow, Anakin hurt Yoda, or someone hurt Yoda for Anakin.

How? He didn't know.

He never met The Jedi Grandmaster, until he arrived at The Jedi Temple, with Qui-Gon.

Anakin's thought seized, as he arrives inside Qui-Gon's former courters.

Like all Jedi's courters, its small and nothing fancy.

He takes a good look around making sure nobody could see him enter or exit the room, before he closes it, with The Force, whilst opening a hidden compartment in the wall.

Inside the compartment, there is some old rolled-up scrolls and an Ancient Jedi Holocron that is in such poor condition it probably no longer works.

But Anakin knows that Qui-Gon received, these as a gift from The Duchess of Mandalore.

She said that a Mandalorian Kill Squad, came by it sometime after The Mandalorian Wars, which is a War many Mandalorians still want revenge for, to this day.

The Mandalorians found a seemly forgotten Jedi Temple somewhere in the Unknown Regions and killed its few protectors and took these from it.

Neither him nor Qui-Gon, has learned as much as they would've liked too, from the scrolls. They've only learned somethings of The Chosen One, and The Prophesy itself, but it's not much, they didn't know before. 

Grabbing, The Scrolls, and Holocron, Anakin quickly left his Master's Old Courters, before quickly walking to his room.

He needed to figure out what this Scrolls and Holocron contained.
