I looked back towards the small man, but this time I had something to say. 'Why......why do you apologize now and not before when we could have survived and regrow our numbers, why now do you stand before me and say sorry when words are nothing without truth behind them........... and all I sense from you is grief and dismay no truth' I said in a serious voice. I began to turn away with a look of sadness but before I could complete the turn the there was a hand on my right shoulder.
It felt rough and strong, and covered my whole shoulder, I looked the hand it had long tips and was covered in a glove. Not one of my species but looked to be Kel Dor and the only Kel Dor I knew was Master Plo Koon an old friend of mine before the war started he looked after me after a plague had killed my family, he trained me and brought me up on my home world of Atmosia, he taught me about other worlds and different species but when the war started he left and I hadn't seen him since. I slowly turned around and was now facing Master Plo Koon; I could a tingle run up my back as I looked at his face, but it wasn't a tingle of fear but of happiness he still had that warm touch to his masked face.
Before I knew what was happening though he pulled me into a big bear hug, I could feel the rasp breaths and I hugged back a smile creeping across my face but before we pulled apart, my face changed to a serious form. I turned back to the small Jedi and asked him a question that I thought I would never have to ask.
'Are you Jedi, truly searching for forgiveness for us the..........' biting back my bottom lip and closing my eyes. I finished the sentence 'the last saviours a once great civilisation' reopening my eyes he said the words that changed my view on this war. 'Yes' putting out his ever so slightly shaking hand, 'I sense only truth in your words now, so under the binding laws of truth and I say this for every soldier, Warrior, Mother, Father, Friend, Family, King, Queen and ever single living thing this place ever made contact with I say may the war between the republic and the Royal Guardians be over'.
Looking around I sensed happiness, joy, relief and sorrow for those who died from both sides all rather on side except one, Lotha she was still anger and confessed but over time I was sure she would understand. I stared at Zac and he nodded I looked to the Maroon, and Philip they both nodded at what I had in mind 'Jedi' I said with hope in mind everyone turned from whatever they were doing and paid attention to me like they knew this was important. 'You have fought alone in this war for too long so we are asking will you give us the permission to fight alongside you in this detailed war.
'No need for permission, you do, be an honour it will, but are you sure.' Once again looking up I got a smile from my people and nodded 'maybe it's time to fight for something more than truth something like for others for ourselves'. 'My name is Master Adoy head of the Jedi council', Adoy introduced every one of the Jedi, clones and Palawan's that were standing before me. 'It is a pleasure to meet all of you, both young and old, Teacher and student, skilled and rookie my name is Ahsoka Tano leader and head council member for platoon V otherwise known as the Talons and commander of the front line warriors' A smile of pride came across my face as I realised how good it felt to be so high ranked. 'This is Zacourises second in charge' I jabbed a finger at him with laughter as he introduced himself and gave more detail. After he explained I introduced Maroon as our second pilot and Philip as the engineer and weapons expert.
'It is a honour it meet all of you' Adoy said, as I was about to speak a laughter came up from behind 'Well isn't that nice the little warriors have joined forces with the Jedi how.........terrible' I know that but it can't be 'Ukood' Adoy snapped. I span around to see Ukood a tall large man with a long white beard; looking behind him I saw thousands upon thousands of fighters craving the rush of battle. 'Sorry to interrupt the little meeting but now it's time for war.
