Chapter XIV

Timoth remembered his agricultural training as he and Master Kenobi went through the foliage of Gadhab. As they neared the old Jedi Burial grounds he felt the living Force speaking to him, as he felt it speak to him in the Agricultural Corps.

He was never a good Jedi Apprentice, he was not the best of his class, and the Force was not as powerful in him as the other hopefuls even when he was eight years old.

He did know that for a time Master Kenobi was in the agricultural corps, but Master Jinn had gotten him removed fromthem and placed under his teachings, although Qui-Gon was a Jedi Master, and a very powerful one at that, he was never accepted into the Council because of his brash and eccentric ways.

Timoth remembered hearing Master Windu speak of Qui-Gon as powerful, and wise, yet blinded by his complete reliance on the Living Force only, and not the Unifying Force, the Universal Force.

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was a master of the Living Force, but not of the Unifying Force.

The two Jedi Knights had finally reached their destination, "Master, where are we to be positioned?"

Obi-Wan looked thoughtful for a moment as he observed the structure of the chambers, "Hmm, it appears to be similar to a Sith Tomb, some of those found on Korriban,"

"You have walked the dead lands?" asked Timoth shocked.

His Master smiled, "no young one, but I have felt its deepest darkest secrets through the Force,"

"Did you ever know of my Master Qui-Gon Jinn?" inquired Obi-Wan.

Timoth nodded, "Why, yes master, he was your former Master wasn't he?"

Obi-Wan smiled, "Yes he was, or in better words, is,"

The young Jedi was confused, "what do you mean?"

"He means just what he says," said a voice from behind him.

Timoth turned and was shocked at what he saw.

Obi-Wan was not, "Welcome Master Jinn,"

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's translucent form shimmered brightly before them, "Hello Timoth Frejik, Jedi Apprentice,"

Timoth took a step back, "how, is this possible master, is this a hologram?"

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon both smiled, "stretch out with the Force and tell me what you feel,"

Timoth slowly, and ever cautiously stretched out with the living Force, and fell to the floor at the blinding power that was before him. Qui-Gon's inner glow shone forth and he blazed as a nova.

"By the Force," whispered the young Jedi before he fainted.

Arthan, Keroth, Quinlan, and Anya all arrived at the burial chambers at the same time, Master Kenobi and Timoth were waiting for them at the mouth of the entrance.

Quinlan couldn't understand but the young man had more confidence now, he emitted a powerful glow that he couldn't place its source.

Timoth rose from his reclining position, off of the Majuik tree, "Masters, Anya, are we ready to enter?"

"Yes, Master Kenobi, Timoth, please join us, Master Aigus and Lukra will be leading the attack at the outpost, while Master Yafrees will handle the troopers on the landing site," said Arthan.

Quinlan and Anya nodded, "We will go to the next entrance with Master Tyram,"

Arthan nodded his approval, "May the Force be with you,"

"May it be with us all," said Keroth.
