Prologue:
There is one chosen by the light side of the force to bring balance; Anakin Skywalker. But there is also one who is chosen by the dark side, to do the opposite. To destroy this balance.
On a dark, rainy day on Coruscant, during the time of the old Republic, 4 years before the Battle of Naboo, a woman by the name of Marlene Karreliss held her newborn child. The birth had been difficult, and she knew she was dying. The child's father was no where to be found, and Marlene didn't know what was to become of her baby.
**************************************************************************** ********************
Yoda, Mace Windu, and the rest of the Jedi council sat, discussing a feeling that they, and many of the other Jedi knights could feel. It was the feeling that an evil creature had entered the galaxy, but one who was helpless and could be saved.
"Could it be?" Mace Windu asked. Without saying it, everyone knew exactly what he was referring to. The prophecy of the chosen one of darkness. Many of the Jedi had stopped believing in this prophecy decades ago. But now the were not sure.
"Dying, the mother is." Yoda said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"What can we do?" Ki-Adi-Mundi asked.
" I think we should go and meet this child," Mace said. Once again everyone agreed.
**************************************************************************** **********************
Mace and Yoda used the force to lead them to the hospital where the mother and the child were. When the entered the room, they saw how sick the mother had become. They looked at each other, knowingly. The prophecy says that the woman who gives birth to such an evil creature will die shorty afterwards.
"W-w-who are you?" Marlene stammered.
"I'm Mace Windu, and this is Yoda. We're Jedi Masters. We came to see your child." Mace said gently.
"My child?? Why?"
"Well, we believe your child may be. . strong in the force," Mace worded his words carefully, not wanting to tell the woman how dangerous her child could possibly be, "What is his name?"
"It's a girl. And her name is Jemmalynn Karreliss."
Mace and Yoda glanced at each other. They could both feel an overwhelming presence of the force.
"May we test her?" Yoda asked.
"Yes. Please take her. I can't take care of her. I only have a few more minutes to live." Marlene looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with love. She handed her over to Mace.
"Good. . bye . . my baby." She could barely speak the words.
" Who was her father?" Mace asked. But it was too late. Marlene was gone. The child was taken to the temple to be tested. They could feel the force strongly in her, and she had a high midi-chlorian count. But they were afraid of what she would become. "If train her we do not, evil she will become." Yoda said. "She may even if we do." Mace added," But the outcome might be worse if we don't. She will grow up an orphan, lacking love from her parents, and she won't be taught to do good like we can. We have to try to save her." The council agreed, and it was decided. Jemmalynn Karreliss would be trained as a jedi.
