Hey guys. I'm so glad that I got some reviews! I was worried that no one
would read my fic! Unfortunately, George Lucas and Naoko own practically
everything with the possible exception of my plot. I'll be alternating
between calling Serena, Serena or Serenity depending on who is addressing
her.
Last time: As he took of and prepared the ship for a light speed jump, he couldn't help but notice, the moon had lost the magical glow that it had previously emitted.
Chapter Two- Padawans and Prophesies
Merely hours after his fateful visit to the distant moon Qui-Gon Jinn was back within the walls of the jedi temple, leading a curious Serena through the many passages towards the jedi council chambers. As they came to a stop before a set of ominous looking doors, Serena turned to Qui-Gon. "Is this where your friends are?" she asked timidly. "Yes," he replied, smiling reassuringly at her, "Now I want you to wait hear for just a moment. I need to talk to the council privately. I'll come and get you when it is time." She looked frightened at the prospect of being left alone, but she slowly nodded her head. "You promise you'll come back?" she demanded looking into his eyes. "I will come back for you in just a few minutes." He promised.
He turned and marched determinedly through the doors, only to be met by the unwavering stares of the council members. He bowed respectfully before turning to Master Yoda. "An interesting story you have to tell Qui-Gon." The old jedi master said with a smile. "Yes Master," Qui-Gon stated as he launched into the story of his visit to the moon, how he had met Serena and what she told him had occurred before his arrival. "Masters," he said once he had finished, "This girl has the most force energy contained within her then I have ever come across, and she has the purest heart I have ever sensed in a being."
Many of the council members had disbelieving looks on their faces and Mace Windu was the first to voice his opinions, "How do you know that this girl is not dangerous, and what she told you was really what caused the destruction of this kingdom?" Master Yoda spoke before Qui-Gon could respond, "Present this girl to us you shall." "Yes Master Yoda." Qui-Gon replied be for exiting the council chambers.
Moments later he returned holding a wide eyed Serena's hand as he brought her before the council. The council members braced themselves as waves of pure force energy washed over them, seeming to emanate from the tiny child before them. Suddenly one of the jedi gasped and pointed at Serena's forehead. "Look at the crescent moon insignia on her forehead!" he exclaimed. Serena hid behind Qui-Gon as the chamber was filled with the councils' hushed whispers.
Master Yoda banged his gimer stick on the floor, and the whispers immediately ceased. He smiled at Serena as he addressed Qui-Gon and the council. "Dangerous the girl is not. Pure of heart she is. Trained as a jedi she will be. Learn the ways of the Force, she shall. Understand her power she must, so be afraid she will not. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the Dark Side of the Force. Train her you shall, Master Qui-Gon." He finished.
"But Master Yoda, I already have a padawan!" Qui-Gon protested although he actually liked the idea of training Serena. "Bonded with you already she has. Easier her training with you will be. Two Padawan Learners you will have. An exception has been made because it is the will of the force. Speak with you alone now, I must." Master Yoda ordered, and the remaining council members quietly filed out of the chamber.
When the last jedi had left, Master Yoda turned to Qui-Gon and continued, "Bringing her here was the will of the Force. Remember do you, the prophecy of The Chosen Two?" "Yes Master." Qui-Gon replied, confused by the sudden change in topic. "Recite it you will." Yoda ordered. Qui-Gon nodded and recited the familiar words,
" A son of the day, A daughter of the night, A chosen of darkness, A chosen of light.
Separated, great power they both do possess, together unstoppable on their quest.
If separated they are then the dark side will reign, but together, balance to the Force, they will bring.
One bares the mark of the moon on her head (corny I know), the other, the mark of the sun in its stead.
His eyes widened as he turned to stare at Serena who looked at him smiling sweetly. "My mommy used to tell me that story." She said. He turned to Master Yoda who smiled and nodded.
"Believe I do that Serenity is one of The Chosen to so you see why she must become a jedi. Go now; train her as your padawan learner with Obi-Wan. May the Force be with you." "May the Force be with you." was Qui-Gon's reply as he bowed. He took Serena's hand and had begun to lead her out of the council chambers when she suddenly stopped and turned so she was facing Master Yoda. She smiled at him and said, "It was very nice to meet you Master Yoda." She said sweetly, and then followed Qui-Gon through the doors.
