Mission to a hidden Jedi library

Part 1

Meeting the Natives

Anakin Skywalker looked anxiously at the clock then he started to pace again. Obi-wan looked up from his data pad at his young padawan

"She'll be here Anakin. I promise, she usually isn't too late." he said with a slight chuckle. Anakin turned to his master and gave him an impatient stare.

"I want to know what's going on."

"We will find out. We are early, she may be on time for once."

" I have also missed her master. We have not seen her in many months."

"I know and I miss her too, but there is no way to make her come here faster." Obi-wan looked down on his data pad again and Anakin sighed. He heard something like footsteps behind him but he did not move. He thought he saw something come toward him and his master but he didn't act on it. He seemed to be more focused on what he was going to say to Jade when she finally came.

"Don't say anything," a voice said behind him he jumped a bit then turned around to see Jade looking at him sternly

"Your late Master Jinn."

"Jedi are never late Anakin Skywalker, nor are they early; they arrive precisely when they mean to." she smiled.

Anakin jumped toward her and hugged her "Its so good to see you, Jade" he released when he saw his master gaze

"Not here Anakin" Anakin pulled back

"Come the ship awaits us," Jade said directing them. Obi-wan walked beside Jade and gave her hand a quick squeeze before they approached the docking bay. There lay the ship Undomiel, Jades new pride and joy.

"Is that the one you have been working on all this time?"

"Yes and now it's her maiden voyage"

Anakin rubbed his hands together "cool" they got on board and Jade engaged the engines. The dock clearance was entered and they were off. They were off to an uncharted planet and Jade was truly the only one who knew of the planets location. When the coordinates were entered the autopilot was slipped on Jade sat in the pilots seat and Obi wan sat in the other pilots seat. Anakin decided it was best that he sat in the back of the ship. When everything was set, Obi -wan got up and moved to the back of Jade seat. He placed his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them gently

"Mm that feels good you always did have a skill with those hands." Jade moved her hands from her lap and placed them on Obis' and took them in hers. She then stood up and faced him. She wrapped his arms around her waist and hers around his neck he only smiled as she moved toward him.

She kissed him lightly. " I missed you." She said softly.

He had missed her more then she knew. He wanted to pull her into his arms when she first came up and he had to admit that he felt the same anxious senses that Anakin did before he saw her.

"And I you" he said as he kissed her back then pulled back and they hugged

"Oh so now we can show how much we missed her." Anakin said sarcastically, walking out of the back. "Can I have her now?" he asked his master. Obi-wan nodded and Anakin ran over and hugged Jade

"I missed you so much," he said. He had grown much since the last time Jade had seen him. He was now up to her shoulder. He hugged her hard before releasing her and smiling at her.

"Can you show me your ship now?" she nodded and took his hand. Jade knew how much Anakin loved ships and he seemed to like hers as well. She showed him around his wide eyes taking in all around him. He even asked her that after she as done with it if he could have it. All she did was smile, he hated when she did that it meant that she would think about it but that there was a slim chance.

Their journey was long but it seemed to pass short for the three had much to catch up on. They all sat at the table in the galley of the ship it was a pretty good size for the ship. As they sat, Jade told them of the "fun" of council work and the actual enjoyment of going on missions to planets not yet seen by Jedi. Obi-wan and Anakin shared blunders of the training and mission they had been on knowing Jade would want to hear about them. She was thrilled to hear about Anakins success in all things and his new friends he seemed to be getting. She was worried for him that he wouldn't have any friends when he was at the temple because he was a late arrival that was every ones worry but he seemed to be all right.

"Jade why are we going on this mission and what are we doing there?" Anakin asked

"Well Anakin there are some things your master and I must get"

" Like what?"

"We need to get some information for the council "

"Can I help?"

"I am sorry Ani but padawans are not permitted where we are going"

"Then why am I here?"

"You don't have to stay on the ship there are friends of mine who will watch you and there are some children who you can play with"

"Where are we going?"

"It was a forest planet inhabited by many species most of them "civilized" as the republic puts it. I am usually the ambassador mainly because I had learned the language of the people and they seemed to like me. I had to study the language for many years for it was complex and very hard to speak."

"Are they friendly?"

"Oh yes very that is why I come here offend "

"They have what you want?" Anakin asked

" No they are protecting a Jedi library as you hopefully know from your studies is that there are many Jedi libraries all over the galaxy we go to planet and asked the habitants to watch it and guard it and in repayment we keep them safe within the republic"

"Jade how are we supposed to communicate if you can only speak it other Jedi can speak it why not bring them?"

"Because I wanted to see you guys and invite you to one of the most beautiful planets in the galaxy," she said smiling at them

"Is there anything we shouldn't do or say?"

"Well I don't think so they know some of our language, but I must warn you they will be very protective for they are in the middle of a dispute among the dwellers. They the Enyalie and the Renaze are the ones who the dispute against"

"Who are we meeting?" Obi-wan asked

"Well I am sure, we are meeting one of the main guards of the library he is an Enyalian, they are the ones protecting the library, for he will take us in, but we will more likely meet everyone" Anakin smiled

"What are they like?"

"You will see for yourself soon Ani"

Before they knew it there where a few minutes from the planet. Jade soon swooped the ship down to the landscape.

"We shouldn't land too close."

Once the ship settled, there was a bang on the ships outer door.

'Edro!' a voice called through the door, Obi looked worriedly at Jade.

'Mellyn!' Jade said.

'Tancave edro' the voice exclaimed

Jade started to open the door.

"What are you doing!" Anakin cried.

"Don't worry." Jade reassured him. There was a man standing in front of them. He had long black hair and wore a black tunic and leggings. He looked fairly young and was about six foot or more. He slowly approached them and bowed.

"Hello Master Jinn, Master Kenobi and Padawan Skywalker. I am Falcon, please follow me."

They grabbed their bags and followed.

"We are thrilled to see you back Miss Jade. We are also happy you brought friends this time" Falcon smiled at Jade

" I see that you sarcasm has not changed," she said smiling back

" You will be staying at the village for a time. Here we no longer let our visitors stay inside the library."

"Well since that last time, I don't think you would." she turned to Obi and Anakin. "The last time they let people stay inside, they decided to take some books home with them" Falcon and Jade burst into laughter.

Jade had known Falcon since when she first came to the planet. As with the library visitors who wanted to see the library could and they would often stay within the small rooms within the library. After when a few tourists came and started to take the books, then the visitors were caught they were afraid of the people they gave the books back and everything else that they owned that had some value then ran out and never came back. The Enyalie eventually gave the tourist back there belongs but warned about the books being taken again. You had to be there to get it." Jade said. She patted Falcon on the back. "It's good to see you again."

"Yes, as it is to see you. We have missed you here, but let's see if you can keep up with the chatter." They laughed again and continued along the wooded trail.

They soon came up to the village. Ani had rarely seen a village like this since becoming a Jedi. It was far from the cold girders that comprised Coruscant. The shops and other public buildings all gathered around a town square.

"Jade, where are the homes?" Anakin looked around and couldn't see them anywhere.

"Look up." Obi gestured with a smile. Sure enough, rising above a carefully crafted web of camouflage were graceful, elegant dwellings. The entire area gleamed of light and life.

Falcon directed a stream of Enyalian towards Jade. "Come, Telm will show you and your friends around."

"Thank you Falcon, it was good to see you." Jade bid him well.

"Yes, It won't be the last. I will see you later." Falcon slapped Jade on the back and ran off back to the woods.

In the middle of the town where Falcon had left them, a strange man appeared who seemed to safeguard the place. He had long silver hair and blue eyes; he was tall as falcon and was dressed in a long gray robe. Jade clearly recognized the man but nether Obi-wan or Anakin did. The man walked close to them and bowed formally

"A Suiland, Wenyamir." Telm's manner was overly formal.

"Mae govannen Telmenhatr." Jade bowed. Following her example, Obi-wan and Anakin inclined their heads in respect. Neither of them understood a word of the exchange.

"Long years have passed young one."

" Yes, but I am no long so young and I am now a master in my order."

"Master Jade?" He seemed surprised. " And who are these noble men?" He added, glancing at her companions.

"Meet Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker." He turned and pointed at Obi-wan

"Boyfriend or Husband?"

"Boyfriend " she then crossed her arms over "remember what I told you?"

"Yes to try and talk in basic," he said clearly. Turning to Anakin and Obi-wan he spoke again "Greetings gentlemen, I am Telmenhatr. You can call me Telm," he gestured welcomingly. "And welcome to the Enyalie village. Please follow me." They nodded and followed Telm up a ladder to the residential levels. While Obi was climbing up, Anakin stood beside Jade "What did you say?" he asked her.

"I'll tell you later" she said softly.

Telm stopped and turned on the level platform. "Wilwarn will show you to your kaimasans first. Then you will be called for dinner. We treat our Jedi visitors well here, as Wenyamir knows."

"When will we get to the library?" Obi-wan asked.

"It is late. I will show you tomorrow. Is that alright to you Heru Jedi?"

"Yes that is fine."

A woman met them at the door. "Suiland Jedi. Come I will show you to your rooms"

The three started to follow when Telm grabbed Jades arm "I need to speak with you" His voice was filled with urgency.

"Don't worry old friend, there will time enough later."

"No, now!" He was almost commanding.

"I'll be right back guys" she assured them, and she followed Telm. Anakin and Obi-wan followed the woman

" What is wrong old friend?"

"A doubt has filled the air and the padawan can not enter the Sanctuary. Once he is a master he can come into where the council orders you."

"We know of this rule and I ask for the young boy to stay with you within the library, while we complete the mission."

"He is welcome to stay but any problems and he may regret it." Jade knew he had never liked kids.

"He is a good child Telm. Do not judge him by his youth."

"I do believe you Jade, but I still have my doubts." Telm was still skeptical.

"Thank you Telm." He escorted her to the small apartment that the three Jedi would be sharing while they stayed there. As they entered, Anakin seemed restless and was walking around.

"Fine. I will watch him. The boy can see the upstairs of the library. But not where you must go." Jade nodded as Telm watched Ani pace.

Anakin bounded over to Jade and Telm.

"What going on, what are you saying, I never heard of it before?" Obi-wan stared at Anakin

"It is alright Jedi" he looked at Anakin.

" It is an ancient language, young Taimevantas. One that is rarely spoken on this side of the galaxy."

"What did you call me?" Anakin asked Jade looked at him now.

"I will talk to him Telm." he nodded and she took Anakin aside.

"Didn't Obi teach you any manners? Why do you ask such impertinent questions?" Anakin looked ashamed

" I will tell you what's going on, later" he nodded and they went back.

Obi wan was talking to Telm. They were talking about a younger Jade.

"What do you call her again?"

"Wenyamir."

" What does it mean?"

"It means the green Jewel"

"Hmm. I like that. Sadly I can not speak you language as of yet"

"Just ask Jade she can help you"

"One more question."

"Yes?"

"How do you say "my heart"?"

"Orenya"

"Hey what are you guys talking about?" both men spun around seeing Jade propped against the doorframe.

"Um …nothing." she came around and slid a hand around Obis shoulder

"Are you being good?"

"Of course Orenya" Jade was shocked

" Obi, that is so sweet " she smiled at him then looked at Telm

'At least you taught him something good'

"Hey" Obi said, " You'll have to teach me this stuff"

"Of course" Jade said.

Anakin walked up and faced Telm " I am sorry for my behavior"

" It is ok young one" Telm nodded with a slight smile on his face. Obi wan looked shocked

"How did you do that?" He whispered into Jades ear

"Womans touch."

Suddenly a weird noise filled the village. Telms' manner seemed to change as if he was a new person his face seemed to be happier. He turned to the Jedi.

"Ah dinner" Telm said looking pleased "come" the three Jedi followed. They climbed down the ladder and walked to the town square. Telm walked them through to the big clearing with many long tables. Telm ushered them to a table with many others that looked like Telm. They were tall beings with long hair even the men and they all appeared to be the same age and young "Where are their elders, if any?" obi-wan asked Jade

"They are immortal, you can only know if they are aged by the look in their eyes, well that was what they told me"

"Wizard" Anakin said under his breath.

Telm laughed "come eat you must he hungry"

" Oh boy I am" Anakin said loudly both Jade and Obi-wan gave him a stare "I mean yes let us go" Telm laughed and shock his head. 'Ontani'

"Watch it Telm" Jade warned,

"What did he say?" obi asked,

"He called us parents" he smirked.

They sat down next to a couple who were speaking in there own language they could tell they were words of love for their body language said it all. All the meal was presented to what seemed to them about fifty people or more, but the three Jedi seemed to fit in nicely.

Before they were served Telm stood up in front of everyone "Evening all. Please welcome our old friend and her companions we are happy to have them" Jade translated for Anakin and Obi wan "but I think we should speak basic for the republic feels that it would be better for us" the company laughed "but it would help our new friends and help poor Jade not to loose her voice" the company laughed again including Obi wan and Anakin, Jade just blushed. The man held up a goblet "Welcome and máras apsas" everyone repeated and took a sip of the drinks in front of them.

Anakin was looking at the substance "It is alright young one it is just sweet drink" the man sitting next to him said. He nodded and took a drink it tasted much like the substance they served to the students at the temple

"Good Ani?" Obi wan said nudging him Anakin grinned

"This is great master"

After they were served it was time for the evening's festivities. There were several young children there and Anakin though about joining them but then looked away.

From nowhere, a young girl came up and tapped jade on the back she turned around and the young girl jumped into her lap "Suiland Wenyamir"

"Suiland Hana" the little girl giggled as Jade tickled her

"Hana these are my good friends Obi-wan and Anakin" Hana stuck out her hand at Obi-wan

"Nice to meet you "

"Nice to meet you Hana," Obi said taking her hand

"He is cute" Hana whispered to Jade.

Hana then got up and walked over to Anakin "Want to come play with us Anakin, we would like you to come" Anakin looked at Obi-wan who nodded

"I would really like that" Anakin said Hana smiled, grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the others. Telm came over and refilled Jade and Obi wan cups

"Now it is time for the elders to have fun" Obi-wan took a sip of the new substance in his cup and smiled his cheeks blushed.

" You like it?" Telm asked Obi wan nodded his head and took a slug of it. Jade laughed and did the same.

When it got dark it, the village was lit with giant lights that lit the sky but still did not out brighten the stars. The music that had played thorough then even started again. One of the guys stood in front of Jade

"Hello Jade would you like to dance" the man asked in his native tongue

Jade nodded as he pulled her up from her sat and started to dance with her. Seeing the two, Telm came over

" Hey Kenobi you better watch it he has been after her for years" Obi wan got up and moved his way toward Jade who was beginning to be surround by men. Jade smiled when she saw Obi

'Sorry I am taken but thanks for the dance' the men sighed then danced away

"What did you tell them?"

"I told them I was taken" Obi smiled and began to dance with her.

The time grew later and sleep was needed. Jade and Obi went to look for Anakin. They met the other parents who told them they were in a small grove of trees and they were. Jade hopped up into the trees and brought down Anakin who was sound asleep. Obi cradled him in his arms and they walked back to their apartment. They walked in they hadn't looked at the bedrooms and noticed that only two beds were available and no couches. They placed Anakin in one bed and they slept in the other. Sleep came easy and wondered when they would be awaked.
