Two robed figures made their way to the throne room of Anu. They were let in and bowed before the king, queen, and prince.

The one of the right wore a dark brown robe and was tall and powerfully built. The one of the left was dressed in a black robe and was shorter and not as well built.

"Your Majesties, we are the Jedi you reuqested," the taller man said in a rich, smooth, baritone voice.

They removed their hoods.

The taller man was a human with long, dark brown hair and a beard, both of which had strands of gray. The other was a red and black Zabrak.

"I am Qui-Gon Jinn, and this is my apprentice Kamier."

Kamier, formerly known as Dath Maul, had been changed by the Jedi and assigned as Qui-Gon's Padawan when they saw a bond of trust and friendship quickly form between the two as Qui-Gon sought to reach out to him. He stood with his arms folded over his chest, watching and listening to his Master.

Qui-Gon recieved their orders to watch and guard the prince and followed the prince out to the gardens with Kamier three steps behind him.

"Why must we do what the palace guards could do just as easily, Master?" he asked in his gruff voice.

Never taking his eyes off the ten year old prince before him, Qui-Gon answered, "Because, Padawan, the palace guards have tried but fail to keep watch over him as he tends to sneak away from them. Jedi are much harder to sneak away from than palace guards."

Kamier went over his Master's words and had to agree.

"But why us, Master?"

"I offered to take this mission. I take missions concerning children any time I can, Kamier. I enjoy being around them," Qui-Gon said, now turning his crystal blue eyes to his Padawan.

The Zabrak sighed. He was still trying to understand Qui-Gon, and this just confused him even more.

Prince Jordan bounded over to the Jedi and gave Qui-Gon's robe a little tug.

"Master Jinn."

Qui-Gon turned, smiled, and knelt down so he was more at Jordan's level.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Will you and your Padawan play hide-and-go-seek with me?"

Kamier blinked and feverntly hoped his Master wouldn't agree.

Qui-Gon smiled.

"Of course."

"What?! Master."

Qui-Gon rose to meet Kamier's gaze.

"Come now, Kam, we must do our best to please the young prince, even if it means playing hide-and-seek with him."

The young Zabrak groaned but nodded.

"Kamier and I will hide first, Master Jinn," Jordan said, beaming.

Qui-Gon chuckled.

"As you wish, little prince."

Kamier reluctantly went off to hide while his Master counted. This was going to be a long mission.
