*Aayla Secura P.O.V.*
Aayla? Aayla, can you hear me? Aayla...This is-
No!
A crimson blade slashed through the darkness, throwing me backwards. My eyes flickered open and I gasped. Breathing heavily, I scanned the room. The Temple Library was nearly empty. I stood up and stared down at the chair I had knocked over. I re-positioned it, next to the table. It was just a dream, I thought, Just a dream? Jedi don't dream. I shivered, my teeth chattering, and I grabbed my cloak from where it had been strewn on the tile floor. I wrapped the rough, coffee-colored fabric around my robed shoulders.
Aayla! Listen to me!
I tossed my hood over my head-tails, holding it tight over my ears.
Aayla, we need your help. You've got to help. There is one, with abilities I've-
I gritted my teeth and shouted, "Master Vos! Leave me alone!"
Master Vos? Quinlan Vos?
I stopped in my tracks, nearly tripping over the hem of my cloak. So, it's not Master Vos.
Of course, I'm not. I'm merely another Jedi, or as my friend would say, nearly a Jedi.
I turned around, my eyes darting around the room and finding nothing. Where are you? I asked.
Not anywhere near you.
Where then? I asked again, frustrated with my lack of an answer. I quickly scolded myself because "Frustration leads to the Dark Side".
Mandalore.
I raised an eyebrow. Mandalore? Why?
You could say... that I'm lost.
I dashed back to a monitor, on the long and narrow table that stretched through the center of the hall. I rested my fingers on the keyboard, thinking for a few seconds. I quickly typed into the search bar:
The Lost Nineteen
My options were listed below the phrase:
Did you mean The Lost Twenty?
I selected the first link that appeared on my screen and read:
The Lost Twenty are a group of Jedi who left the Order
because of ideological, psychological or, more recently,
romantic reasons. Members expressed their wishes to leave
before the Jedi Council and were allowed to go freely. Recent
additions, include Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, who left the
Order after an extended mission on the Outer Rim planet of
Mandalore.
Mandalore? Does that mean you're Obi-Wan? I asked, but received no response. Obi-Wan? Are you there? What abilities are you talking about? Why were you here? Why me?
"Hello?" I called out, hearing echoes from all around.
