The Earthly Jedi Knights

Chapter 9: The Origins of the Jedi Knights

[Author's Notes: The aspects of what you are about to bear witness, are a mix of metaphoric and the real. In time and throughout the stories, it will become more real than metaphoric. All ancient stories are mythology. Like the many unique stories of Robin Hood, it is hard to know what is real and what is not. This aspect you are about to read is no different. There will be many more tales like this. You may have read similar tales in my stories.]

Both Sam and Brandon found themselves in what appeared to be the city of the Jedi Knights, but everything looked similar... though oddly different. There was a major difference that was very obvious to them, there were a lot more people going about their business, and no one noticed them at all.

Sam said, "We're here, and you are right, this is like having one of the Christmas spirits sending us on some kind of visual." She paused, "now what?"

"Jolinar has said nothing more to me."

"Maybe what we seek is not a simple understanding. She said we're here to learn from the beginning. That is a feat in itself."

"You think we will be here for a good time."

She was quiet for a moment, "If it were just to learn the past, I would say yes, but when it is Palpatine after us, I have no clue how long it will take us to learn of the beginning of my life or the Jedi Knights."

He remembered that time flow is different when one travels in time.

"I remember the time I spent in 1860, with my mother, was short to all of you in the 21st century, but I just don't know. It could be useful here, but I have no clue how it will be for us."

"We cannot use the Force to find what we are looking for."

She slumped, "Good point. What's my sister saying on this?"

"Not sure. I cannot feel her presence at all."

She walked closer to him. She paused for a moment and said, "she isn't in you at all. I now see why Jack doesn't like surprises. To be honest, I don't either. I wasn't expecting this."

He realized that nothing had happened yet. "By this time period, neither you nor Jolinar was born."

"Of course! The same time flux as when I traveled to 1860. Jolinar left me because she was in my mother."

The two of them walked around the city. They would not learn anything by standing around.

She smiled as they were sightseeing.

"What are you smiling for?"

"Just going down memory lane. Remember what we did for Earth regarding the Jedi Knights?"

He thought for a moment and understood. "We were sightseeing before we did our presentations."

They saw someone that got their interest. It was someone that looked like Sam completely. A voice called out to that person. "Oriana!"

She sighed. "What is it now, Nasor Taear?"

"Your Highness if you remember to do all your duties you won't have to be frustrated in having me tell you to finish them."

She smiled, "I'm thrilled I have you as a friend. If you weren't, you might have left me a long time ago from being so absent-minded."

"Never!"

"It's this duty that bothers me the most."

She smiled, "Yes, it does, but it has to be done. You told me the future of the Jedi Knights depends on it."

"Yes, it does. While it hurts me, I know the outcome will be words beyond wonderful."

"Off you go then, Your Majesty."
