Title: Peace over Anger
Author: The Goddess of Mush and Stuff
Summary: Yoda/Xani piece...part of the Jedi Code Series
Yoda watched his last apprentice trudge back into the Temple, trailing behind him his young 21 year old apprentice Xanatos. Yoda did not care for the boy, that much was apparent, but once Qui-gon set his mind on something or someone, very rarely could you talk him out of what he believed.
And he believed in this boy...where as Yoda saw a hateful, angry boy. One that was going to break his apprentice's heart. Yoda knew that the last mission they had to send Qui-gon and Xanatos on was going to be the one that Xanatos' true colors would show.
Yoda only feared what that would do to Qui-gon's heart.
Yoda knew how easily Qui-gon adopted things and people. He had an unwavering belief in the good of people and he had a big heart, one that was going to get burned.
Xanatos said something and turned and walked away from his Master. Yoda watched him go, sensing the tension between the two. He decided to follow the apprentice, knowing Xanatos was most likely going to the practice rooms to vent his frustrations and yell them out in a flustered rage.
True to his experience with him, Xanatos did head for the saber practice rooms. He began doing Kata's, all the while, a look of hate and displeasure showed clearly on his face.
"What makes him think he knows more than me anyway! Just cause he's a master......" Xanatos huffed. "One of these days he's going to see how much better I am..."
Yoda shook his head at the words the young man was saying supposedly to himself. As much as Qui-gon gave him, Xanatos never seemed to give anything back...never gave back the patience or the forgiveness that Qui-gon gave him...never gave back the love that Qui-gon gave him.
Nor did Yoda believe he understood that at all. All Xanatos knew was his anger and his impatience to get ahead.
Xanatos had since turned and noticed Yoda...feeling the presence only after he had cleared his mind. "Can I help you Master Yoda??"
Yoda's ear's lifted slightly, noting that this time Xanatos did not even try to hide his annoyance in his tone. "Wish to ask how well your mission went?"
"It went....well Master. Shouldn't you be asking Qui-go...Master Jinn this?"
"Ask him we will, when before the Council he comes. Wish to ask you now since here you were."
He caught the slight shift in Xanatos' stance and noted his agitation was growing. "It went Well Master. No real problems."
"Good this is." Yoda and Xanatos stared at each other for a long while, before Yoda decided to speak. "Go find your Master you shall. A mission we need to brief you on."
"So soon Master?"
"Leave later you will, in two days." Yoda informed him. "Important mission this is. To Telos you need to go."
Yoda watched Xanatos' eyes flash with recognition. His one downfall was he knew who his family was before he reached the Temple. He knew how powerful a person his father was and thought without a doubt that he too had that kind of power.
"I will inform him Master Yoda." Xanatos said trying to pick up his things without seeming to rush himself. He left the gym in a flurry and left a worried Yoda behind.
Wrong it was to send them, but saw it through the Force he did. A long battle was soon to begin. He just hoped that Qui-gon could face it with the same calm and peace he held as dearly as he himself did.
Peace over anger.....
