Title: There is no Ignorance, there is knowledge

Summary: Yaddle gets into the series! (
Yaddle sat quietly going through some old data pads and records, sorting them to where she would have to store them later. The library of the Jedi Temple was large, but she loved it dearly and never minded working late hours inside the quiet walls.
But this night the silence was broken. Hushed whispers and the small padding of feet could be heard from the back end of the Library. Yaddle sighed, put down the data pads and headed the direction the voices were coming from.
She was surprised to find two young initiates sitting closely together, whispering and looking around them as if they expected to be caught. The one was a human, the other a Mon Calamari.
"I'm worried Bant. What if I don't get chosen as a Padawan...."
"You will. It's me that ought to be worried."
"How are you so sure? I'm clumsy and no master will ever want me. And I've only got a year before I have to get chosen or head for Agri-Corps."
Yaddle smiled to herself. Every year at least once or twice she saw the same scene. Initiates just turning twelve would get nervous about their futures, that they might not become Jedi. This one however, seemed to have more fears than previous.
"You're listening too much to Bruck." the girl calamari scolded. "You are not clumsy."
"Yes I am..."
"Whether or not, clumsy you are, here you should not be. Late it is..." Yaddle said from her spot behind the two.
Both initiates jumped up to their feet and were soon bowing to her apologizing profusely for being out so late.
"Master Yaddle...we're...we're sorry. We came here on time, we just got to talking that..." the Calamari stammered
"Lost track of time you did?" Yaddle smiled.
"Yes Master." Obi-wan said, his head still hanging and he seemed intent on watching his boots.
Yaddle regarded them both. "Sit sit. Heard your conversation I did. Worry so much, both of you should not. Worry leads to doubt, which leads to fear. And no doubt there is that heard Yoda's lecture on Fear you have."
"Yes Master Yaddle we have."
"Your names, what are they?"
"Bant Eerin"
"Obi-wan Kenobi."
"Obi-wan and Bant. Worry neither of you should. Though future hard to see, see I do that Knight you will be."
"Really?" Bant smiled.
Yaddle nodded but noticed that Obi-wan was still not so convinced. "Believe you do not Initiate Kenobi."
"I'm sorry Master Yaddle...."
"Sorry do not be." Yaddle smiled again. "Close your eyes both of you will. Show you something I can." Both children shut their eyes. "Now, center on the Force you should, as if meditate you were going to."
She felt the two clear their minds and touch the Force. She smiled and slowly reached out herself and pushed both their minds towards the more unifying side of the Force. "Think of your Masters, or your future, show you sometimes the Force will. But not always set in stone it is, but sometimes, answers you can find. "
Bant went off on a completely different path, but Yaddle was compelled to stay with Young Obi-wan. His path seemed quite rocky, and full of uncertainty.
/It's going to show me working for the Agri-corps/ Obi-wan thought sadly. /Why should I even bother/
But as he thought the words, he felt the Force pull him father inward, towards some sort of center he felt. He followed it...and soon he could see a tall shadow standing near the light.
He stopped walking, and just stood there considering the shadow. It was tall, broad, and yet some how he could feel great warmth and gentleness from it. He suddenly didn't seem so afraid and took another step.
/That's right Padawan, do not fear/
Obi-wan stopped dead. Had the shadow called him Padawan?
He began walking faster. The Shadow had called him Padawan!!! It had felt so right, the voice was warm and welcoming, deep and caring. Obi-wan hurried his step further. /I'm coming Master./
As Obi-wan neared the shadow he could make out the long robe, draped over the tall man. Man, he felt the person was a male. Human. He could see the long chestnut hair, with a tie holding the long locks from the Master's Face.
He was soon behind the shadow. But it wasn't so much a shadow but a tall dark man, with long hair. But Obi-wan couldn't see his face, he had the overwhelming feeling that the Man was hiding himself for some reason.
He reached up and touched the shoulder. /Master? Is it you?/
/yes Padawan, it is.../ the man started to turn to face him. Obi-wan felt himself grinning ear to ear, so eager to see the face of his Master, so he would know who to look for in the temple.
But just as the silhouette of the man's face came into view he felt a sudden rush and soon he was back in the Temple Library. "NO! Wait!" he yelled getting to his feet.
Bant jumped back away from him but Yaddle stayed seated near him. "Obi?"
"Wait...I didn't...I didn't get to see his face...I have to see him...."
"Quiet young one. See what the Force wanted you to, ask no more you can."
"But how will I know when he comes?"
"Know you will, in your heart, when see your Master you do." Yaddle said standing and grabbing her stick from her side. "Go I must. And go should you two. Late it is, and Group Masters looking for you they must."
Two yes Master's came from the youngsters as they stood and started to leave. Yaddle could still see and feel the disappointment from Obi-wan as he sulked his way back to his quarters. She hated to keep him in the dark but the Force had done it not her. She just happened to know that voice to well to not know who the dark man was.
She started off on her journey. She had to speak with a certain Master.
----------------------------------------------------
Yaddle waited patiently outside the door, after she knocked. She could hear the grumbling from behind the door and couldn't help but hide her smile. Yoda was so grumpy when he was first woken up, or if his sleep was disturbed.
"Late it is...important this better be." Yoda said as he opened the door to her. "Yaddle?"
"Important my business is. Concerns your last apprentice it does."
Yoda allowed her to enter and waited till she sat before speaking once more. "Qui-gon, where is he? What has happened?"
"Nothing to your apprentice. Something concerning his future I saw. Or someone else did."
Yoda's ears dropped. "Talking about what are you?"
"Solved your dilemma I have. Take a Padawan he has not in many years."
"And beginning to think again he never will."
"He will not deny the Force," Yaddle stated. "Saw I did, drawn to him a boy is...as is he drawn to him."
"Through the Force are they drawn?"
"Yes, vision the boy had of Qui-gon. Saw his shadow he did...and heard Qui- gon speak I did. Though know the voice the boy did not, know it I did." Yaddle smiled warmly. "Need each other they do...felt that much through the Force I did."
Yoda sat in silent thought before looking back up at Yaddle. "Call him back I should?"
"Yes, think you should. Important it is for both the boy and Qui-gon."
"The boy's name....Obi-wan Kenobi was it?"
"Yes, seen him have you?"
"Yes. And thought I did that a connection there could be. But why tell me of his vision? Not always true are they."
"Because...in the code I trust. There is no ignorance there is knowledge...and now know of the vision you do, use it you can."
