Chapter 7: the witches
Landing on the planet, they saw that Binns, Leikiu, and Susi, where doing a great job. "Oh, you guys, there is a group of witches over there, I think they are waiting for you."
Luke nodded, "I felt their
presence during my force meditation and had a chat with them. They did us a
great favor, there used to be dark side witches here, they got rid of them.
Maybe it will be good, if you, now that you have legal authority over here, Han
make a deal with them."
Han nodded. Just then the witches
came over, with the witch with the most elaborate headpiece coming first.
"Greetings, Oh, Jedi, we were awaiting your arrival, and is this the man
who you claim holds the deed to Dathomir."
"Yes, Oh, Augwynne, this is
General Han Solo of the New Republic, this planet is to be a gift to my sister,
whose planet was destroyed by the Empire, now looking at the Holo's of her
planet, Dathomir is considerably larger and where your clan lies does not
effect the building plans..." Luke paused, looking at Han, hoping he would
get the message.
"Oh," Han said, catching
on, "Augwynne, as the owner of this planet, I offer you and your clan the
deed to where your clan lies, for free, as long as you accept New Republic
charter, and a loose alliance with the government that shall be put in place on
Dathomir."
"On behalf of my clan, we have
already reviewed your New Republic charter, and accepted Jedi Skywalker's
assurances that we will be treated as equals, and our ancient ways will not be
destroyed, so we accept your gracious offer, and extend a hand of friendship,
and if you need aid in your building plans, you may call on us." Augwynne
and her clan bowed and walked away, after Augwynne signed the official treaty
that Luke had drawn up.
"Okay, so that was easy."
"You agree, that these guys
have everything under control, so now can we go to the prison and free those
people." Luke asked. "Remember, when I talked to council members they
weren't a hundred percent positive that he had done a COMPLETE pull back of his
forces, officially, he had, but who knows if he still has forces around this
prison."
Han followed Luke, as Luke was
letting the force guide him to wherever it is the prison was. As he walked, Han
realized how much his views on the force had changed. There had been a time
where Han had called the force a non-existent power, and the Jedi an extinct
brotherhood that had been a waste of skin. But after being around Luke for a
while he realized that sometimes Jedi's still annoyed him. Some times they were
no fun. But, the force and Luke and saved his life, so he very well had to
believe in it.
