Nora was sitting on a hill at a good distance away from the rebel's base but still close enough for her to see it. She had a communicator in her hand waiting for a call to come in, she already knew she was in deep trouble by her Master.
Her circle like communicated beeped in her hand and she pushed the button on the side to answer the call. A Holo-Project appeared on the communicator, it was her Master.
He Master wore a elegant kimono the was just solid colors and no patterns.
"Master, it is good to see you are well." Nora told her.
"Glade to see that the Inquisitor did not get a hold of you." Her Master said back, making Nora flinch.
"I tried to my force signature as low as I could but he still sensed me. I am sorry Master, but on the bright side I was able to find some rather juicy info on the Empire's coming plans." Nora said with a small smile.
"Be as it is you are still in risky position. I sense that the Inquisitor is hot on your trail and so are the people you are with. I also sensed a rather peculiarness to two of your new companions." He Master told her.
"Ah yes, well…I ran into a old friend, well I hope a friend since back when I was still at the temple we did not part on friendly terms. It is Jedi Master Billaba's Padawan. He also found a force sensitive child here on Lothal and has been trying to train the child." Nora reported as she rested elbow on her knee.
"Trying?"
"Yes, but while he finds it is difficult to train this child I think he is learning things about himself, but I can not tell Master. I have only been around these people for a week at most. I also bring news too Master, I was able to find Kenobi and Yoda. They are a live and well. " Nora said happily.
"I see. I am glade Kenobi is alright." Nora's Master said with a small smile.
"Master, may I ask you something?" Nora asked.
"What is it child?"
"Can I stay with these rebels? Fulcrum has Okayed it with Hera, the captain of the ship and I want to help here. "
"I sense you are growing an attachment. Is it Billaba's Padawan I wonder." The Master Jedi mused.
"Is it wrong for me to? He was my best friend at the Temple and back then I was close to him before I chose my path. I know our friendship is broken but I want to repair it. Is it selfish for me to say and want?" Nora asked.
"No it is not selfish, to mend things that are broken is a part of healing but you must be careful little one. Something's cannot be mended and you must face that fact. Just remember what I taught you about attachments." Her Master told Nora.
"Attachments are what defines us and what makes us stronger. To stand beside those attachments and call them Nakama is the greatest thing in life." Nora recited.
"Very good. Keep me posted and stay out of trouble. You are like a cat that doesn't know when not to stick her nose into things."
"I learn from the best." Nora said before the communication was cut off.
Nora let out a big sigh stood up. She started her walk back to base with a sense of hope in her heart. The ahead may be a rough one but the reward is eternal.
As Nora neared she saw Kanan teach Ezra how to use the force to tame creatures. She quietly walked up to them without them knowing she was there.
"Will you just give me the light saber and I will make it obey." Ezra said in frustration.
"No I will not. It is a tool not a weapon." Kanan told his Padawan.
"Can I use yours?" Ezra asked when he noticed Nora.
"No you may not. You can accomplish many things without one. I rarely use mine, only when necessary." Nora said leaning to the ground and hold her hand out in a relaxed motion.
The little grassland creature came out and sniffed her hand then rubbed its side of it head against her fingers.
"How is it you two can do it and I cant?" Ezra asked in frustration.
"Because she didn't use the force." Kanan replied.
Era was now curious of the Enterran.
" What do you mean? It came right up to her."
"I showed it has nothing to fear and that I had no weapons. Being calm and collective keeps a person focused." Nora said picking the creature up, "And no I did not use my telepathy. My rules are extended to creatures as well."
"How do you do that then?" Ezra asked.
"Accept all that is around and let your mind be free of doubt." Nora said with a smile.
"Yea that's not going to happen." Ezra said walking away leaving Nora in silence.
"I am sorry to interrupt your training session. I did not mean to trespass." Nora said solemnly.
"Its okay, I know you didn't mean to. You were curious just like back then." Kanan said to her.
"You are still the same as well." Nora said with a small smile as she let the creature jump out of her arms and scurry away.
"Me the same as if." Kanan said with a snort.
"Did I miss translate something on what you told me? I know my Standard Galatian Language skills is much to be desired but I thought I translated that well." Nora said with slight anger.
"Just never mind." Kanan said walking off.
"Kenshin please hear me out." Nora said calling Caleb the name she gave him in native language.
Kanan stopped and looked at her with shock.
"SO you remember that name I gave you when you asked me to translate you name in Enterran. Not many Jedi knows that language and yet you asked and I gave it to you. I have made mistakes in the past and yes I should have told you that I was choosing the Sentinel path and I am sorry. I know I can never take back the hurt." Nora said to him.
Kanan just shooked his head and went back into the Ghost.
Nora just stood there knowing the damaged she caused between the two of them will take a lot of healing.
Author's notes:
Hmmm, things are getting interesting. I gave you a sneak peek of Nora's Master and what is going on emotionally between Kanan and Nora. I did have someone ask me what the pairing is and its defiantly a Kanan/OC (Nora) pairing. There maybe some Kanan/Hera here and there until I decide when Kanan and Nora patch things up.
Also some translations are in order. Nakama is the Japanese word for Companion. It is used more often as way to say battle buddy but it can be generally used to saw companion or someone of great trust.
Kenshin is also Japanese but it means devotion. I looked up what Caleb, Kanan's real name, meant and it is Hebrew devotion. It had some other translations but I stayed with devotion. So all you Rurouni Kenshin fans out there, that's what Kenshin's name means.
Due to Finals coming up I will not be able to update any time soon so I decided to do this chapter a head of time before then.
Until next time.
