Once in space, Qui-Gon put the ship in care of his R5 unit and turned to the baby. He had secured the baby in the seat next to him with the help of several straps. He lifted the baby out of the robe she had been wrapped in and found the small hologram projector. He placed the baby back into the warmth of the robes and turned the hologram on.

"I am Darth Toruan, the Sith Lord. The child you have was made by me. After years of work and research, I have discovered a way to influence midycloreans so that they create life. Leila is the product of my work. She is the only life form I have ever created and she will be the last. I am returning to my home, there to stay and never leave again. I cannot be found and am content with that fact. The diamond around her neck I created. And I wish for it to remain with her. A small token of my love for her. Nothing can destroy that diamond, as nothing can destroy my love for her. She is the only thing I have ever loved. And she will be the last. Her name is Leila, which means created in darkness but made of light. I wish for her to keep her name. I have given her to you, Master Jedi, because I see that you will bring her up according to goodness and she will walk the path of light. A path that I left long ago. Train her in the ways of the Jedi. That is my last wish."

The hologram shut down. Qui-Gon sat back and looked at the baby next to him. a Sith baby. He shook his head in wonder. Who would have ever thought it? A Sith Lord…he had the power to… Qui-Gon shook his head again.

His ship had by now made the jump into lightspeed and was once more outside the planet of Corasaunt. He entered the atmosphere and made for the Jedi Temple. He landed the speeder on the landing pad and got out. He lifted Leila out and wrapped her in the robe once more as he went up the steps. He concealed her in his robes as he passed through the temple, bound for the Council Chamber that was in the highest tower. At last he exited the elevator and the doors of the Council Chamber slid open.

It was as he had hoped. There where only two Jedi in the Council Chambers and they where there most of the time.

Master Mace Windu and Master Yoda looked up as the doors opened.

"Returned so soon, Master Qui-Gon?" said Yoda.

Qui-Gon bowed slightly. He presented the baby. "My visit was cut short because of this."

Mace stood. He came over and stared down at the baby. "A baby?"

"A girl child," said Qui-Gon.

"Whose is that?" asked Mace.

"Master Qui-Gon's," said Yoda.

Mace looked at him and then at Qui-Gon. "Qui-Gon?"

And Qui-Gon related what happened and gave Mace the hologram. He watched as they watched it.

When it was over, Mace got up again and stared at the baby. "A Sith baby?"

Yoda said nothing. He was staring at the bundle intently.

"Created in darkness, but made of light," said Qui-Gon. "Leila."

"I've never heard of anything like this." Mace picked up at the diamond and studied it.

Leila's hand came up and she grabbed his finger and held tightly.

Mace smiled.

"For my apprentice, her I will take," said Yoda.

The two men looked at him.

"I had thought to take her as mine, though, Master Yoda," said Qui-Gon, his eyes narrowed.

Yoda shook her head. "No. Her Father, you will be. She will know of none other. Of this Darth Toruan, she must never know. Not until old enough and wise enough she is."

"Not know…."

"No," said Yoda. "Best, is this way."

Qui-Gon studied Leila. She was still gripping Mace's finger and studying his face intently. He nodded. "Yes,' he said. "It is best this way."

"When she is old enough, to the Temple you must bring her," said Yoda.

Qui-Gon looked up. "But I live here. How…"

"Another home you must find," said Yoda. "Another apprentice, you must not have until both of live here once more."

"Yes Master," said Qui-Gon.

"But bring her here often, you must. The feeling of the Force is strongest here. And used to it, she must become."

Qui-Gon bowed. "It shall be as you said, Master." Then he disentangled Leila from Mace and left the Council Chamber.

Mace sat down. "What do you make of it, Master Yoda?"

"A feeling of hope, I feel," said Yoda. "The Chosen One, she is not. But then again…"

"Perhaps, she is," said Mace.

"Perhaps, she is the one untold of," said Yoda.
