Rise and shine sleepy head. You have a field trip that you are going on in about an hour. Benaiah said, as he came into the room and turning on the light.
Man, I really dont want to, Master. Achsah whined and pulling the covers over her head.
That is what you get for staying up too late. Now, come on and get ready for breakfast, before heading out. Benaiah came over to the bed and grabbed the covers, and pulled them off the very stubborn girl. ,P> Ok, ok. I am up. Arent you and Master Kenobi going on a mission today? Achsah sat up and began rubbing her eyes.
We are still going, but first, I have to make sure that you are on the school transport, before I head off on my mission. Benaiah went over to his bed and sat down.
I see. So, when will you both be back? Achsah got up and went over to her foot chest.
We will be gone for two weeks, but after you come back here, you will report to Master Windu and he will bring you to me. The Jedi Master said, as he watched his young Padawan.
Ok. I am going to get washed up and Ill meet you down in the dining hall. Achsah headed for the door and opened it.
Ok,see you then. Benaiah nodded, before Achsah walked out of the room.
Achsah left the room and walked down the hallway.
Morning, Achsah. Are you ready for our trip today? Anakin asked, as he came up to Achsah and they both headed down the hall.
Morning, Anakin. I guess so. The idea to freeze my butt off, isnt my idea of fun. So, what about you? Achsah looked over to Anakin and saw that he looked like he just woke up too.
Tell me about it. Master Obi-Wan thought it would be a good idea, if I had my own light saber instead of Master Qui-Gons saber, which was given to me after he died. Anakin realized that Achsah was looking at him and he began running his hand through his hair.
I see, but didnt you tell me that the saber was really Obi-Wans Achsah just shook her head, as she watched Anakin nervously smoothing his wild bed hair.
Um. . . yes and no. He lost his and was able to grab Master Qui-Gons, before he killed the Sith. So, it is really his, but he wants me to make my own. One that would fit me a little better. Anakin said, before they came up to the boys refresher.
Oh, I see. Well, we are at your stop, so Ill see you later then. Achsah said, as they came up to the door.
Anakin nodded, before opening the door and walking into the refresher. Achsah began walking, after she watched the refresher door close. Finally getting to the girls refresher, she opened the door and walked into the room.
Morning. Two girls said together, as Achsah came into the room.
Morning. Achsah returned the greeting, before heading for an empty stall.
Achsah took off her clothes and stepped into the shower stall.
Oh, that feels so wonderful. Achsah said to herself, as the hot water cascade down her body.
She stood there for another minute, just letting the hot water smooth out the tightness in her muscles, before grabbing the soap and began washing herself. As she stood there, rinsing the soap off her body, she closed her eyes and began to relax her body and clear her mind.
Soon, very soon. A voice said in Achsahs head.
What the. . .? Achsah opened her eyes and looked around, just to make sure that she was alone in the stall.
Shutting off the water and stepping out of the shower, she grabbed the towel that was laying on the bench. Achsah began drying herself off, before getting dressed. Once dressed, Achsah went over the sinks and brushed her teeth, before she left the refresher and going back to her quarters. Walking into the room, Achsah saw that Benaiah had his bag sitting on his bed, but he was not in the room. Putting her things on her bed, Achsah, left the quarters and headed down to the dining hall for breakfast. Walking into the dining hall, Achsah saw her Master sitting with Obi-Wan, Anakin and the two Jedi Masters were in deep conversation, while Anakin was looking so very bored.
Hey, Achsah. Are you ready for our trip? Luna asked, as she came up to Achsah and got in the food line.
Hey, Luna. Yeah, I am ready. The only thing am not looking forward to is the freezing cold. Achsah said, grabbing her food tray.
Tell me about it. Man, Master Kenobi is next to Anakin. Luna said as she saw where Anakin was sitting at so that way she could not sit with him. Yeah I guess they are going over plans for a mission. Achsah said, as the kitchen droid put some kind of mush on her tray.
Wow, I wish I was going on a mission, beside going to get a crystal for our sabers. Luna grabbed herself a drink.
The only thing Achsah did was nod her head, as she grabbed her drink, before heading for the dining area.
Isnt that your Master sitting with them? Luna asked, as she noticed that Achsahs Master was sitting with Obi-Wan and Anakin.
Yes, that is Master Benaiah. Well, I see you after breakfast. Achsah said, before heading over to the table, where her Jedi Master was sitting with the other Jedi Master and His Padawan Learner.
Morning, Achsah. It is nice to see you. Hope you slept well. Obi-Wan said, as he looked up at the young girl, who stood next to her Masters chair.
Good morning, Master Kenobi. Thank you, I did sleep well. Master Benaiah, Anakin. Achsah nodded to Anakin, her Master and Obi-Wan, before sitting down next to her Master.
You seem a little upset. Anything wrong? Master Benaiah noticed a small frown on his Padawans face.
Am not upset, am just a little confused, is all. Achsah said, as she picked up the spoon and began eating her breakfast.
Really? So, what are you confused about? Benaiah looked over at his young Padawan.
Well, I heard a voice, but when I looked around, I did not see who it was. The person should not have been in the girls refresher. Achsah took another bite of her breakfast.
What do you mean about the person should not be in the refreshes? Obi-Wan asked.
Well, the voice I heard was male. Achsah said, taking a sip of her juice.
A males voice? Can you tell me what this voice said? Benaiah asked, as he looked at his Padawan with concern.
Yes, Master, I can tell you what he said, but I do not know what it means though. He said soon, very soon. Achsah repeated what she heard.
Mmm . . . I wonder what that means? I guess, we may have to figure this out, but at the moment, you really should not worry abouti t, unless it keeps happening. It seems you are in tuned to it. Benaiah smiled at his young Padawan,before taking a sip of his Caf.
Well, that voice was also full of hatred, old and very scary. Achsah shivered, as she recalled the sound of the voice that she heard in the fresher.
Oh, that does not sound very good. Your Master is right, Padawan if you hear the voice again, you must let him know. Obi-Wan took a sip of his Caf.
Yes, Master Kenobi. I will let him know. Um what happens if it happens again, when you are gone on this mission, Master? Achsah looked over to her Master.
Then, you should go to either Master Yoda or Master Windu. Benaiah looked at his young Padawan.
Yes, Master. Would it be ok, if I told them before I leave for the field trip? Achsah asked.
Yes, that is a good idea. Benaiah said and took a hold of Achsahs hand and held it, to let her know things will be ok.
Achsah gave her Master a small smile, before she began eating her breakfast.
We better get these two to the transport. Obi-Wan said, as he watched Anakin finish his last bite of his breakfast.
Ok, we need to see Masters Yoda and Windu first. Benaiah said, as he finished his Caf.
Ok, you have thirty. Obi-Wan said, as he and Anakin got up from the table.
Benaiah and Achsah got up from the table, left and went to see either Masters Yoda or Windu.
Enter, you may. Master Yoda called out to the person buzzing his chamber door.
The door slid opened and Benaiah and Achsah came into the room.
Good morning, Master Yoda. We are sorry to disturb you, but something has happened to my Padawan. Benaiah said, as he and Achsah came further into the room.
Good morning to you and your Padawan. Help your Padawan needs? Master Yoda asked, looking at the two people, who were standing right in front.
Um yes, master. Something happen earlier this morning, while I was in the fresher. Well I heard a voice a males voice. Achsah said, as she looked straight at Master Yoda.
I see. A males voice, and can you describe this voice? Master Yoda asked, looking straight at the young Padawan.
Yes, Master. The voice was old and very scary and also the person was full of hatred. Achsah said, as she looked at Yoda, who nodded for her to tell him everything that she knows about this voice or person.
I see. What did this person say? Yoda asked, as he wondered who could be upsetting one of his Padawans.
The person said, 'soon, very soon' Achsah said shivering, when she said those words again.
"I see. I will search the Force for this person and if you hear it again, and even more words come to you, you come to me. Yoda said, as he nodded to the Master of the Young Padawan.
Yes, I will come and let you know, Master Yoda. Achsah said.
Go now, you must and see you, when you come back, you Padawan. Yoda nodded to both people standing in front of him.
Both Master and Padawan nodded to the Grand Master Jedi, before leaving the room and headed for the hanger bay.
Ok, you listen to the instructor and I will see you in few days. If you do hear that voice again, tell Master Yoda. Be careful and listen to the Force, let it guide you. Benaiah said, as they came up the transporter that was going to take Achsah to Llum.
I will listen to not only to my instructor, but to the Force. If I hear that voice again, then I will go to Master Yoda. Well, it is time for me to get on board. Achsah said, as couple of other Padawans ran up the ramp.
Ok, see you soon and May The Force Be With You. Benaiah smiled at his Padawan.
Ok, see you soon too. May The Force Be With You too, Master. Achsah smiled back at her Master, before turning around, running up the ramp, and entering the ship. Achsah went into the lounge and saw that everybody was getting into their seats and getting buckled up.
Hey, I was saving you a seat. Anakin said, as Achsah came up to him.
Hey, thank you. Well, Master Yoda told me to come and see him if what happened this morning, happens again. Achsah said, sitting down in the seat and buckling up.
That is a great idea. Well, here we go. Am hoping to find a blue crystal for my light saber. Anakin said, as the ship began to lift off.
Four hours later, the Jedi transport landed on the frozen planet of Llum.
Ok, everyone. Grab your snow jacket and then come off the ship, with your partner. The Jedi weapon Master told the Padawans, as they got out of their seats.
Yes, Master! the young Padawans called out.
The young Padawans went to the storage lockers and grabbed the coats, gloves, boots and scarves and put them all on, before walking outside of the ship and into the snowing blizzard. The Jedi Instructor said the secret password and the thin iced opening melted away from the entrance to the cave.
Ok, you all have one hour. If you are not back here with in that time, then you will be sealed up, for the ice will start to freeze back up and will be completely frozen up in an hour. So, go now and listen to the Force, for it will guide you to your crystal. May The Force Be With You all. The Jedi Instructor said, as he motioned for the children to go on their crystal quest.
When Achsah entered the frozen cave, she closed her eyes and focused on the Force. Achsah followed the Force and it started to led her to an opening on her right side.
Where are you going? Anakin asked, as he saw Achsah head for the opening.
Am being called to go this way, and I have to follow it. It is like my crystal is calling out to me. Achsah said, as she motioned for Anakin to follow her.
Ok, am hoping I could find my crystal here too. Anakin followed Achsah, as they headed for the cavern.
Both Padawans walked further and deeper into the cavern, when Achsah stopped.
Wait a minute. Something wants me to go here. Achsah say,s as she feels a strong pull towards the rocks on her left side.
Ok, and I too feel that pull. Anakin said, as he follows the other Padawan to the rocks.
They came to the rock and Achsah held out her hand and one of the Crystals began to glow.
She closed her eyes and with the power of the Force, she managed to dislodge the crystal from the rock and it flew into her hand. She opened her eyes and saw the blue crystal glow brighter in her hand.
Wow, that is so cool. Something wants me to come over here. Anakin said, as he motioned for another pile of rocks, next to the rocks that Achsah found her crystal in.
Ok. Achsah put her crystal into her pocket of her coat.
Like Achsah, Anakin held out his right hand and also dislodged the crystal from the rock. When it landed in his hand, it began to glow brightl, just like Achsahs crystal did.
Well, we have our crystal, so we better get going. We have about thirty to get back to the ship. Achsah said, as Anakin put his crystal in to his coat pocket.
They headed out of the cavern and the out of cave.
Yes, Mistress. The two Padawans said together, as they turned around they saw that the ice was further down on entrance of the cave.
They got on the ship and the pilot handed them hot chocolate, after they took off their coats.
This will warm you both up. The pilot said, as he took the coats and put them in their lockers.
They took their cups, sat down in their seats and waited for the others to return back to the ship. An hour later, all the Padawans were back on board the ship and heading back to the Jedi Temple. Once the ship landed at the hanger bay of the Temple, waiting for the ship, was Master Mace Windu.
Master Windu, may I help you? the Jedi Knight asked, as she came off the ship, with the small group of Padawans following her.
Yes, am here waiting for Padawans Anakin and Achsah. I am to take them to their Masters. Windu said, as he saw the two Padawans that he needed.
Padawan Anakin, and Padawan Achsah, you need to go with Master Windu. He is to take you to where ever your Masters are. The Jedi Knight called out to the two Padawans.
Anakin and Achsah came up to the Master Windu.
Ok, young ones, are you ready to go to your Masters? Windu said to the young Padawans.
Yes, Master, we are ready the two Padawans said together.
The Jedi Knight bowed her head to the Jedi Master, before the Jedi Master left with the two Padawans.
Ok, you two can either stay here or come up to cockpit, that would be fine. Windu said, as he closed the hatch and was about go to the cockpit.
We will both come with you. Anakin can sit in the co-pilot seat. Achsah said, as they headed for the cockpit.
They got into their seats and Windu flew the ship to the planet that was in the Mid-Rim region and to where the kids Jedi Masters were waiting for them.
Ok, here we are and there are your Masters. Windu said, as he looked out the window and saw the two Jedi Masters, waiting for the hatch door to open up.
Thank you, Master. May The Force Be With You. Achsah said, as she got up and bowed her head to Windu, before leaving the cockpit.
Thank you, Master and May The Force Be With You. Anakin said, as he followed Achsah out of the cockpit and then off the ship.
Coming up to their Masters, the two Padawans followed the two Jedi Masters to the tent that they would be staying in for the next couple of days, while they help with the peace treaty. After a dinner, that their hosts had made for them, the two Padawans said goodnight and headed inside the tent, got into their beds and fell sound asleep.
