Star Wars: Rebels of the Stars (COMPLETED/BEING EDITED)

Chapter Seventy: The Offer

Z and I walked into the ballroom, and looked around, trying to spot the others.

I saw Achi talking to her brothers, Sag holding his wife close as his Jeckruci bounced around them

Then I saw Sil in the corner, "I will be right back Z. There's something I have to do first."

"Alright. I will go find where Wen and Anoles are. " He nodded and raced off.

Taking a deep, nervous breath, I went over to Sil.

The dark golden Star Phantom was softly walking to someone who was offering their condolences, before seeing me standing awkwardly to the side and excusing himself from those he was talking to. "Mira, how are you?' He asked, a softness in his voice of worry and sorrow.

"I... I am alright, Sil, I am so sorry... I should have been faster, I should have protected her... A-And..."

"Mira, you have nothing to be sorry about. It was not your fault," He put a gentle hand onto my shoulder and gently squeezed it. "It is not your fault. If anything, it is mine. She was my sister, and the second those men stepped foot on Harmonian soil, I should have been there protecting her. But I didn't as she asked me to protect the people first, which is what I did."

He gave a deep sigh, closing his eyes as his body slightly shivered, remembering how he felt when he watched his sister die via hologram.

Like me, he had tried to hurry to save her, and he got there two seconds too late. I had apparently nearly taken him down in my rampage.

"I miss her, and love her, but, we can't undo the past. She would have wanted us to focus on the future. Especially you."

"Why especially me?" I was befuddled.

"Before you arrived, she was considering of allowing Aslan to teach the people of the Jedi ways, as Aslan had noted that we are strong with the force, however, he refused, saying his days as a teacher were over. But, after seeing you, my sister had seen the benefits of the force, and wished to ask you."

"Ask me to teach the ways of the Jedi to a whole planet?..." I blinked surprised and confused. How could I possibly do that?

"Yes," I heard a voice say behind me and turned around to see Achi standing there with Di, Sag and Affe. "I wanted to make the offer, on Jaa's behalf, Sil." She pouted at him, annoyed.

"I'm sorry, your majesty." He bowed in an almost joking matter. "Just thought I would prepare her for your blabbering."

She playfully punched his arm. "No majesties. You are still family here to us Sol." She smiled sadly, and sighed, before turning back to me. "So how much did he tell you?"

"Just that you and Jaa wanted me to teach Harmonia the ways of the Jedi."

She adjusted her crown on her head, the heavyweight much heavier than that of her senator crown. "Well, yes. And a much larger offer for you. I... I was planning on building a Jedi temple on the edge of the city. A place where you can teach, and those who wish to learn can reside as you teach them. And not just for Harmonians, but also for those from other planets, once we repair the planet and finish building the temple. What do you say?" She gingerly lifted her hand, hoping I would accept her offer.

I looked at her hand in awe and surprise. Never had I imagined something like that for me in my life, especially not after the fall of the Jedi.

This could be a new beginning to the Jedi, where it is modeled not as conservatively as it had been in the past.

And if it was open for more than just Harmonians, then other jedi masters and knights, as well as padawans and other force sensitive beings could come from all over the universe to be safe, and to teach.

Cunee, Ejik, and Owec could come. Amalia and Aslan could be Jedi on the new grand council.

Texts lost at Coruscant could be recovered as well as other files.

Where there could be so many more things to learn.

"Well?" Achi smiled softly.

I hesitated for a mere moment, before taking her hand and gently squeezing it and shaking it. "I would be honored, your majesty." I smiled back at her, a twinkle in my eyes.

"May I show you a few ideas?" She let go of my hand, and clasped hers together, a smile on her face.

"But you need to be here at the celebration."

"Honestly, I am tired of people being all formal, plus my feet hurt from these shoes." She lifted her legs to show me the fancy shoes.

"Honestly, those do look painful. Alright. Let's go." I chuckled, and followed her to one of the rooms in the castle that had a holo table full of repair plans for the kingdom.

I watched and squeaked, ducking as the heels went flying towards my face while Achi sighed relieved as her feet were freed.

She typed into the system after murmuring a sorry with a laugh, and a beautiful building appeared on the holo display.

I looked at it in awe and brushed the holo to turn it ever so slightly, looking at every corner of it. "It is beautiful..."

"I have no idea what an actual Jedi temple looked like, but I did my best based on what Aslan described, then joined it together with traditional Harmonian buildings. If there is anything you would like to change, feel free to." She moved aside, letting me take the controls.

I looked at them, and went inside the building to see what rooms she had already specifically labeled.

The library and holocron vault were in the center, and were with heavy protection, then the dorms and classrooms surrounded it, the Master's council room on the top floor in the center building of the three egg-liked shaped buildings.

Using the controls, I expanded two of the training rooms and added another room for Hyuang, if I could ever find that lightsaber building droid.

Then I went to the outside of the building, where I looked at the massive garden in the back and the glorious fountains in the front.

"Can I add to the outside too?"

"Go on ahead." She waved towards it.

I looked at the garden and added a few plants that I knew would survive on Harmonia, and then went to the fountains.

I added some practice statues lift with the force, each one larger than the last, each of them of different faces of the past, different Jedi Masters who might be able to communicate from beyond the force to teach of the past.

I looked at the main entrance, and had an idea, and set up a certain figure in the center of the fountains.

Achi looked. "I approve." She smiled happily.
