Hey guys, sorry about the delay on part 7. I know I promise a chapter a day, but, come on, it was Christmas. Anyways, this chapter is going to make Oak seem a little off her rocker. I do not own any of the characters or the game, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic that this is based on. Read, Review, and Enjoy!
I slowly walked around the Elder Compound, looking for the perfect place to begin my gardening. I decided it would be most logical to start in the corner and work my way all the way around the Compound. I sat down in the snow and started to dig a small hole. Once it was a hole that was deep enough, I dusted off my hands and looked on either side of myself.
"I didn't…" My voice trailed off as I mumbled to myself. The search through my backpack was quick. All I had in there was food. "Shoot!" I stood and kicked my backpack over 50 yards. When it came down, I used Force Wave to gain another 100 yards.
Somehow in my rush to escape before Jolee had caught me, I had forgotten to bring any seeds or baby plants. "No wonder I was forced to stop being an evil genius. I'm not very 'genius' at all." I pulled the pack back to me. I held it in my hands for a moment, before opening it and grabbing my food that was in it.
Walking back over to my first hole, I worked on opening a can of beans.
4 Hours Later…
I stood in front of Leiter with about 200 of the Elders around us. "Sir, I finished the tasks you asked of me."
"All of them?" His broken Basic boomed back at me. Hey, alteration!
"Yes. Leiter, why did you ask me to garden?"
He threw back his…head…and let out the low sound of laughter that he had done before. It was contagious and I laughed with him.
"Silly Revan," He choked the words out of his laughter and I stopped laughing. I didn't tell him not to call me Revan, he doesn't know, relax. "We just thought it would be funny, and it was!" He fell over.
"Leiter!" I ran over to him and started to help him up but he pushed me away. He smiled as he slowly got to his feet.
"Revan, I fall over all the time, please don't worry." He brushed dirt off himself. "Well Revan, it is as we promised, we will take you into the Kalter Platz temple. But be warned, you can only go alone." I nodded as he spoke. "Now go back to your ship, and come back in the morning."
"Yes, thank you Leiter." I gave a slight bow and turned around. I was half-way to the door when he called me back.
"Revan, one more thing," He started to laugh again, but it was more moderate this time.
"Yes?" I tried to hid my puzzlement, but I couldn't. What does he need now, his he changing his mind? Had he been working with Malak all along? NO! What if this is where my final fight with Malak happens. Oh gosh, I'm not ready. Force help me, I can't-
"We were wondering," He cut off my thought as he spoke through his laughter. "What did you plant when we instructed you to garden?" He fell over again and I smiled.
"Bean tree, cracker tree, bean tree, cracker tree." I turned and walked out when he roared with more laughter after I said the first 'bean tree'. Walking back to the ship, I smiled, and didn't think of my upcoming (or at least assumed) punishment.
