The Eight Jedi (Annotated by Chief Archivist Jedi Master Ashram Dreyus)

A Mission Part 4

As Tarlson worked did Cable say
And try to patch the hurt he made
By praising foe who gave him wound
In hopes that thing would serve as boon.

"Your chilv'ric fight was done yet well
A gallant sight your foe beheld.
I'm sorry doubt I felt for form
By many years of practice worn.

Whatever lord your bid to heed
Has gained a man of mighty deeds."

And knowing boy did seek for peace
Did Candor grant him greater ease
By lending answer in better way
So back to work their mind is gave.

"No thought yet give to words you spoke
For many men of higher note
Have doubted well my tact with blade
And skill that man is present gave.

So think not long that revenge I bare
No hurt against my friend be dared."

And words he spoke did air did ease
And cause the group to less yet grieve.
Then Jubie still in fouler heart
Did mock them playing peaceful part.

"It heightens heart I current bare
To know that neither man yet bared
A truest scorn when hurting foe
And only lofty tempers goad

The men who nearly killed their help
Inside this place no aid has dwelt.
To staunch the flow of draining blood
No matter shallow gush of flood.

And only hurt the task we take
For lofty want's and higher fates."

Yet though the words were spoke in scorn
Yet still through air that's thick their torn.
And cause the whole of men to laugh
Thus breaking gently through the wrath.

And all through night the four then stayed
And many words in friendship gave.
Until the night that's next did come
And signaled men their time to run.

To forest place where bandits hide
And all their secret ways espy.
