Star Wars: Wartime

Fifteen

What could I say about Lily-la...? I asked myself as I sat on a pillow, criss-cross, within the meditation chamber in the Jedi Temple. Not much she wanted people to know about her. Her condition is a weakness and she doesn't want it known...why else would she keep it a secret...? Master Yoda wished to speak with me...is it about her...? Does he know...? I quickly dismissed the thought. Only Jaden, Kaella, Kala, and I know about Lily-la's secret, and as far as I know, no one has told him yet. The door of the meditation chambers opened up, drawing me from my thoughts as Master Yoda entered the room.

"To see you well, glad I am." Master Yoda told me as he walked over towards a pillow of his own. "Troubling to hear of Alyre, it was."

"It was certainly challenging," I stated, my voice a bit dull as I thought about it. It wasn't challenging until after all the droids teamed up against me. They are weak alone but together...they can possess an issue. "If it wasn't for Mia...." I would've lost and who knows where I would've been now...? My mind flashed back to the cell on Geonosis, and my spine shivered. I definitely didn't want to go through that pain again, at least not so soon after.

"Capable, she is." Master Yoda stated, almost in thought.

"Yes." I simply stated, keeping my answer short. I haven't seen Mia fight, not really, so I have no idea about what she is or is not capable of...but I couldn't exactly tell Master Yoda this, or else it'll definitely have him finding out about Nadia. More than just her existence but also the fact that she can surface from Mia, taking brief control of the girl's body. Considering  Nadia was Sith, a user of the dark side of the force...that could pose a problem for Mia. She would be seen as a liability, a potential danger. Besides...Mia was a Jedi Knight with a padawan, she would have to be more than capable to be able to take an apprentice.

"Your council, a perfect match she would be...no...?" He asked me, obviously thinking about it.

Only, that thought never crossed my mind. I knew I had six chairs on my council, two, one for each, Grey Jedi, and then four extra chairs. So far, it was just: me, Kala, and Obi-Wan. That left two unseated positions. "How so...?" I asked him, wanting to know why he suggested her. After all, I barely knew the girl.

"Brave yet rash and reckless the girl is." He told me, not sounding too pleased with the girl's behavior. "Yet kind and caring, she is. Within her, darkness there is. Yet shines more brightly, the light."

Basically...everything she does is justified by whatever outcome the girl wills to happen. Sounds like someone else I know....

"If you disapprove of her actions, why let her continue to be a Jedi...?" I asked him, not knowing why he would.

"Of use to you, I thought she would be." He responded. "Keep her on the right track, I know you can achieve."

"I'll think about it," I told him. They didn't want me to recruit everyone into the Grey Jedi as that could end disastrously. However, Master Yoda recommended Mia as not only a possible member of the Grey Jedi...but also as one of the six council members. She must be truly capable of impressing him.

"Good, good." He responded before closing his eyes as he sat on the pillow. "Shall we begin...?"

"We shall, Master," I responded before closing my eyes. It's been too long since we've had time to meditate together like this. Not since I was a padawan, I think.

~~~3rd POV~~~

Master Yoda opened his eyes to reveal a white void all around him, he was perplexed as to what was happening. He quickly turned to face Nadia, who walked out of the white void to meet him. She thought it was time for him to know, not that she planned to reveal everything to him. But this once peaceful world of Nova's was now engulfed in chaos, a war of Sith design, and Nova wasn't prepared for it...not any Jedi in this era was properly trained for this. Yet still, they were thrown into it.
