The next few weeks went without much stress. Chae'la and her new master did many exercises to help strengthen their bond. She visited Anakin and the other younglings many times. Anakin was fitting in quite nicely. He was smart and friendly, though he had a fiery temper. Chaela had made a fast friendship with Obi-Wan. Their personalities worked well together. Both having the same dry humor they were often laughing together. Chae'la was quickly accepted into the group of Obi-Wan's friends. Siri, Garen, Quinlon and Bant were all taken with the quick-witted individual that Chae'la was. She was often able to see to the heart of a matter and come up with experiences and insights that they hadn't thought of. She had a gift of seeing everyone's point of view.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon decided to go to Ragoon-6 on a training exercise a few days before and Chae'la was feeling a bit antsy. Usually she and Obi-Wan would spar together in the afternoon and she was missing the activity. Chae'la decided to go with Bant to the room of a thousand fountains to train in swimming instead. They decided to swim to the bottom of one of the lakes to grab some colored rings they would drop in for a swimming exercise. Chae'la stretched her muscles and got ready for the long swim. Bant tossed a green ring into the lake and Chae'la watched where it sunk. She filled her lungs with air and dove down into the water. She was near the bottom of the lake when a vision hit her. One minute she was looking at the green ring a few meters in front of her, the next she was starring at Tahl in great danger. She could see Qui-Gon holding a very ill looking Tahl. Her eyes, usually blazing like green crystals with traces of gold, were black and dull, filmed with suffering. "It is too late for me dear friend." The image shifted back and Chae'la realized she had gulped water in her pain. She tried to get to the surface but her vision was blurring around the edges and she passed out.
"Chae'la! Chae'la wake up!" Chae'la opened her heavy eyelids to see Bant sitting beside her shaking Chae'la's shoulders. Chae'la spewed up the water in her lungs and continued coughing for a minute.
"Thank the stars your alright. What happened? Did you stay under too long?" Bant asked helping Chae'la sit up.
"No I had a vision. I lost concentration and sucked in water," Chae'la remembered her vision and looked at Bant with urgency, "Where is your master?"
"Tahl? I think she is in her quarters, I don't know, why? Was your vision about Tahl? Is she alright?" Bant quickly grabbed Chae'la's arm and the two hurried off to find Tahl. Tahl wasn't in her quarters and she wasn't responding to her commlink. Chae'la decided to see the council and tell them of her vision.
The council was in session but Chae'la saw Qui-Gon go in without requesting entrance. Chae'la was surprised to see him. He and Obi-Wan weren't suppose to be back yet. Chae'la and Bant waited outside the doors for the masters to come out.
Soon Tahl stormed out with Qui-Gon hot on her heals. "I don't know why you insisted on interfering like that, Qui-Gon. But I do not like it," Tahl said angrily to Qui-Gon, not seeing the two padawan's.
"I was on the original mission," Qui-Gon replied, "I thought I could be of help."
"Masters," Chae'la tentively interrupted. She didn't want to but needed to tell them of her vision. The both looked at her startled.
"Oh we didn't see you there. What would you like padawan Sretep?" Tahl addressed Chae'la a little coolly, Chae'la figured it was because of her argument with Qui-Gon.
"I had a vision Master Tahl, about you," both masters looked at her in shock. It wasn't ever good when Chae'la had a vision.
"What happens Chae'la?" Qui-Gon asked worriedly.
"I think you die master Tahl," Chae'la said uncertainly.
