Recap:

We find out in Chapter One: Sensual Visions, is that Aaliexandria, a faithful Jedi Master of the Order which was established only decades before, believes that members of the Order should be able to have a real life. Meaning, they should be allowed to love and have a family. When she went back to her room to meditate, she had a vision of two people, something very sexual, and wonders what it means. Markus, a Jedi Knight, was sent to Lexi's room by the Council to tell her that the Masters are having a meeting and she must attend.


Chapter Two

To Love Is To Live

There are going to be three structures to the Jedi Order. Knowledge, for that is something that can change a battle in an instant. The Force, something that every living thing has and that ties in with Knowledge...one must study the Force to fully understand what it is capable of. And lastly, Self-Disciplin. Without that, one could weild the Force in a most dangerous way and it could lead to corruption..

Aaliexandria walked slowly down the halls of the Jedi Temple, not paying much attention to anything. The vision she had back in her chambers consumed her and she wanted to know more. Of course it was rather sensual, but why would she see it if there was not going to be a reason for it? Biting down on her bottom lip, foot steps came running down the hall towards her. "Master Aaliexandria! Master!" Markus stopped in front of her she Lexi looked up, halting.

"Well...?" She asked, with a hint of a smile on her face. Markus tended to do this. Get so excited that he just plain forgets what he is going to say. "Oh! Oh yes! The Masters...they are becoming impatient."

Lexi slowly shook her head. "If they wanted me so badly, they would have scheduled this meeting when I was not meditating. Tell them I will be along." Markus nodded and turned on his heel to run off. The woman laughed and leaned against the wall. She disliked collared people. That is what she called them, collared. People who are whipped and do whatever it is the higher ones wanted. They were unofficial slaves, and Aaliex could not understand as to why they would willing run around like that. It was pathetic.

"Are we having second thoughts on accepting the invitation to become a Jedi Master?" The voice that spoke was somewhat mocking, but friendly nonetheless. And Aaliexandria knew exactly who it was.

"Xendor. It has been a while," As she said this, she approached the dark-haired man and embraced him. "Did the mission turn out for the better?"

Xendor, a man of 33 and still in his prime, smiled almost wryly at his friend, his arms moving back around her. "After the Queen stopped shooting at us, yes. We dropped down in onto the planet only to find out that the monks wore the same robes as us, and therefore the Queen though we were the monks. That Civil War almost destroyed the planet." Xendor laughed, however, his blue eyes full of amusement.

Pulling away from him, Aaliex tugged on the sleeve of his robe and started pulling him along. "Well come on, Master Xendor," It was mocking, the way she said it. "We have a meeting to attend to."


"And so the last moment, I used a Force field to surround the monks and to protect the Queen. While they were stopped, we disarmed them of their weapons and the two groups were able to have a meeting without killing each other; Ultimately, the planet is free of war and both sides agreed on an outcome." Xendor looked across the room towards Aaliex and winked at her, smiling.

"Thank you, Xendor, for ending that conflict. Now, for the main reason this meeting was called. We all know the Order is relatively new, and with an Order, there needs to be rules, and structures. Josi already stated before that he shall select Jedi Knights and teach them in the ways of Knowledge. They will be our librarians. The keepers of the Jedi Archive. They will also write the rules to the Order, which we shall discuss right now." Master Arkani said, sitting in his position in the center of the five individuals that were dubbed the Council of the Jedi Order. "One thing that has been debated is the freedom to make a family."

Aaliexandria groaned inside, knowing she was the only reason that the rule was not set in stone just yet. The entire Council had to agree. But she stood with her choice, whether it caused delay in the making of the rules. Standing, she gave an audible sigh and smiled just slightly. "I believe that, yes, we do have the ability to help people, but it should not be our entire life. We should be able to have family and love. It is only natural and I find it difficult to agree with the Council if they would so deny that freedom to the members."

"Have you," Master Aniren asked, "Fallen in love, Aaliexandria? Is that why you wish to inforce that belief?"

She really wanted to just shake some sense into this man. He seemed almost oblivous to things. "No, Master Aniren. I have not. But that does not mean I should not." Aaliex casted a glance towards Xendor, who was looking at the floor, deep in thought. If anyone would help it, it sure as Hell would be him.

It was then that Arkani spoke up once more. "The reason the rest of us find it difficult for one who is going to dedicate his or her life to the Order to be able to love it just that. They have dedicated his life to the Order. Not to love. Not to family. Furthermore, such passion as love in your heart could lead to the Dark Side. Passion leads to anger, we already discussed that."

"The wrong passion leads to anger, Arkani. A lust for war and power, yes...but not a soft feeling such as love. Besides, the Dark Side is all in your mind." Lexi was notorous for being one to debate fierily.

"We do not have time to argue such antics. We will have to continue this discussion later. In the mean time, the planet of Adega has been cutting off trade routes for many of the surrounding planets, complaining about not getting a fair deal in said trades. The thing that confuses us is how Force Sensitive that planet seems to be. This time we shall send a Knight and his padawan to the planet to invesitigate further." Aniren finished up and nodded his head firmly.

Arg! How can this situation be more important than their discussion! Biting down on her lip to hold in her anger, she sat down and began counting to ten in her head. Xendor leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Do not worry about it. They realize you are right but they just worry too much, is all." While he said that, the Council dismissed and Lexi stood up.

"They will not agree with it, though! I mean...how can they deny someone life? I can always twist their words and say they are denying them the Force, but I'm not like that. I just...I do not see what is so wrong about falling in love. It surely will not lead to "the Dark Side"." She threw her hands up in the air, rolling her eyes, her tone mocking.

Xendor laughed quietly and brought his friend in an embrace. "You need to get out more often. Come, let's go to the nightclub and listen to some of the music and get a few drinks."

Aaliexandria pushed Xendor away from her, laughing. "You just want to watch the Twi'Leks dance!" She said accusingly.

"But with my only friend! So it works out nicely, no?" Xendor laughed once more and put his arm around Aaliex's shoulders, dragging her towards the door. "Now come. I was not kidding when I said you need to get out more often...because you do." With that, the two left the Council chambers for one of Coruscant's many nightclubs.
