A Few Thousand Lifetimes

Chapter 6: Questions & Answers

This chapter is dedicated to Cherry-chanchen8, who helped this story along by giving me an amazing idea for the main plot of this story that i plan on using!

3rd person POV

Once everyone had finished eating their meals, the paladins included, the occupants of the castle directed their guests over to the lounge area to answer any questions the guests might have.

The first to ask a question was a clone named mixer, "Why were you on the Galra prison ship?"

Lance laughed, "Isn't it obvious, to free the prisoners so we could blow it up!"

Everyone from the castle of lions, minus lance, facepalmed.

The next question was from Master Plo-Koon, your weapons are very interesting, how do they work?"

Keith took out his Bayard, "Our Bayards activate when we grab it and will it out, once you have enough training with you can shift it into different weapons depending on what you want or need, so far Dalmira is the best at that."

Ploo-Koon nodded as Mace Windu spoke up, "How does the Paladin hierarchy work?"

None of the Paladins seemed to know the answer so Delmira answered, "A paladin can either choose an heir or apprentice and the lion will pass to them once the current paladin dies or turns to the dark side, OR if there is no specified heir the lion will choose its paladin but there are rule, for instance, the red paladin must be part Galra, The black paladin must be force sensitive, then their personalities need to line up, it's all very complicated but that's the main of it."

The residence from the castle looked at Delmira in surprise, the Alteans because neither of them had explained the Paladin Hierarchy to any one of the paladins, and the Paladins because they had no clue there even WAS a Paladin Hierarchy

Just as someone was about to ask another question Obi-Wan's communicator rang, Obi-Wan quickly picked up and answered it, it was one of the clone captains,

"Sir, we've been attacked by Galra Forces, they've destroyed they Jedi temple on Coruscant, we've retreated to the temple on the planet Tython but they're tracking us and we cant figure out how. We've already lost 2 temples we can't hold them off much longer sir! Our forces are demated and the only Jedi temples left are the ancient ruins of the original Jedi Temple!"

Obi-Wan turned to face Princess Allura, " Would it be at all possible for us to be allowed to recuperate in your castle, your Highness? At the moment we can't hope to beat the Galra on our own and you seem to be the only people properly equipped to deal with this situation."

Princess Allura nodded understandingly, "Of course you can, you are welcome in our home for however long you might need to regain the strength of you and your army. After all we are now allies in our fight against the Galra, it is the least we can to apologize for dragging you into this war just after you finished your last one, I completely understand that after all, you can't have possibly been able to regain all of your former assets that were used in the previous war, but we would be happy to help you regather them and you are welcome for as long as find need."

Mace Windu bowed his head respectively towards Allura, "Many thanks, Princess, On behalf of the Jedi Nation, I thank you."

Petro shifted a little uncomfortably while everyone was talking about possible living arrangements and, after a few minutes, spoke up, "If we're going to be living here then how are we going to find our way around? You have more rooms than all of the Jedi temples put together!"

Coran laughed and Allura smiled over at him, "Fear not, we have maps. 4 out of 5 paladins had this problem as well."

The paladins and youngling all turned and stared at the paladins in disbelief. Gungi, a Wookie padawan couldn't believe it, (I don't know Wookiee so I'm just going to type it in English) "You got lost in the castle, how you know it so well?"
