Ch. 2: Premonitions & Revelations

Airiana awoke with a start; the image of Obi-wan's body disappearing beneath the lava refusing to erase itself from her sight; she hadn't realized she had fallen asleep. She took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves then looked out the window; daylight was streaming in through the curtains. Airiana got up and walked towards it; this would be the perfect place for meditating, "And not falling asleep," she thought.

She sat down and began to meditate. Her vision had scared her, plain and simple. She knew it was a vision; dreams are never that detailed and Obi-wan never fell into the lava pit before. She was the reason it had changed – or might change. She couldn't let that happen. But what could she do? She couldn't talk to Obi-wan about it, he was too closely affected and she certainly couldn't talk to Anakin about it. Who did that leave?

Airiana's eyes popped open. Of course! How could she forget? Now that the answer was clear, she began planning. As she thought about what she had to do, she put on some clothing that had been set out for her, glad she didn't have to wear her outfit from yesterday. Just as she finished there was a knock at her door; it was Obi-wan.

"May I come in?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I just wanted to let you know that Anakin and I will be leaving later this morning."

"I'm going with you."

"What do you mean you're going with us?" Obi-wan asked with a confused expression on his face.

"I'm going with you and Anakin to the Jedi Temple; I need to speak with Master Yoda." Airiana replied in an authoritative tone.

"I see," then, after a pause, "May I ask what you need to speak with Master Yoda about? I may be able to help you."

"No, I must speak with Master Yoda. What time, exactly, are we leaving?"

"Two hours," Obi-wan answered as he turned to leave.

He wasn't sure what had just happened. That wasn't the same person he met yesterday. Something had changed; Airiana wasn't timid, shy, and unsure of herself anymore. And she had just told him that she was going to the Jedi Temple with him. She hadn't asked – she told. Why didn't he say she couldn't, like he should have done; she wasn't a Jedi and wasn't in anyway related to the Jedi, as far as he could tell. She did have a very strong force presence, though, and didn't seem completely untrained, which lead Obi-wan back to where he started. Something was definitely different about this girl, he just couldn't figure out what it was.

"You missed a good breakfast, Master," Anakin said as he entered their quarters and plopped himself down on a sofa.

"You think every breakfast is a good breakfast," Obi-wan said with a small smile.

"That's because every breakfast is a good breakfast."

"Are you ready to leave?" asked Obi-wan.

"Yes Master."

"Airiana will be traveling with us." Anakin raised his eyebrows. "She said she must speak with Master Yoda," Obi-wan continued.

"And you're letting her, a complete stranger who we just met last night, go to the Jedi Temple with us?" asked the padawan a little sarcastically.

Obi-wan cracked another smile; it was usually him asking those kinds of questions to Anakin. "I didn't have much choice in the matter, actually. She never really asked, just told me she was coming with; I got the feeling she wouldn't take no for an answer. And there's something about her. I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling we met her for a reason. Perhaps we'll find out what that reason is once we reach the temple," then, looking at his wristchrono he said, "Come on, it's time to leave."

Airiana had spent most of the flight thinking about what she was going to say to Master Yoda; she thought she knew, but now as she stood in front of the Jedi Council, she wasn't so sure. She hadn't expected to be standing in front of the whole council.

Master Windu's voice broke her out of her reverie, "Airiana, you wished to speak with the council?"

"Actually, I only want to speak to Master Yoda."

Yoda had been staring attentively at her throughout Obi-wan's report now he closed his eyes briefly and then said slowly, "A great secret you have; fear surrounds it. Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Meet you I will in the Room of a Thousand Fountains." A short silence followed then Master Windu told Airiana that she would be staying with Obi-wan and Anakin until other arrangements could be made.

After throwing her bag in a corner and having a bite to eat, Airiana was lead by Anakin to the Room of a Thousand Fountains. As they walked, Airiana tried to take everything in; the Jedi Temple was more beautiful than Ben had let on. The walls were a light brown and seemed to glow as the hall lights shown on them, the floors were marble, and the whole building seemed to be alive with the force. She couldn't help but think that within a few years it would most likely all be gone.

They reached the Room of a Thousand Fountains. Before Airiana walked in Anakin gave her some advice, "Make sure you keep your shins protected and you should be fine." Airiana smiled back as she entered the room; she had already learned that lesson the hard way.

As Airiana walked in, the cool mist of the fountains brushed by her, refreshing and calming her. She looked around for Master Yoda, but she didn't see him; instead, she saw fountains upon fountains of every shape and size. Exotic plants and flowers took up the space between the fountains and narrow paths of smooth pebbles wound their way through it all.

She chose one of the paths and began to walk down it. The farther she walked into the room, the more beautiful she thought it became. She could easily see why this was one of Ben's favorite places within the Temple.

As she walked around one of the bends in the path, she spotted Master Yoda. She walked over to him and gave a low bow before sitting down. They passed a few moments in silence and then Yoda said, "Much fear in you, there is. Dangerous, this is. Feel you were trained, I do. Who was your master?"

Airiana hesitated before replying, "You were."

There was a long pause before Master Yoda said, "Feel the truth in you I do, but understand I do not. Explain you must."

It was a few moments before Airiana decided where to start, then she said, "I can travel through time. I always could – it was just something I was born with. I think it's genetic because my mother had the same ability, although, it happened a lot less to her. My grandfather told me that she did it once when she was about two years old and only twice more – one of those times was when she had me. I think the time she traveled to was this time, or a few years ago. When I turned eighteen, about six months ago, my grandfather gave me her lightsaber. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me; it was left in the past."

"I first meet you and Obi-wan about 25 years from now when I'm two years old. Ben brings me to you to be trained. You train me in the ways of the force, but also help me control my ability."

"Although you trained me, I still spent a lot of time with Obi-wan and he told me a lot about this time period. I don't think I was here before, and now that I am, I'm afraid I might change the future for the worse. I already had a vision where something has changed."

"This is why I'm afraid. I don't know why I'm here. I keep wondering if I am supposed to change the future or if I'm here by accident."

"I know that everything happens for a reason, but if that was completely true, the future wouldn't always be in motion; I don't want to get into that now, though, because I've already debated it enough with you. I didn't know who else to talk to about this. I guess I'm hoping you'll give me some advice."

Yoda took a long time in answering before he said, "Meditate on this I must; guide us the force will. Until then, be patient and speak to no one of this. May the Force be with you."

Airiana stood-up and began to bow, but then she remembered something. "About my mother…did you know her? In her home-time her name was Anwyn, but it could be different here."

"Know an Anwyn, I do not, but look into this matter I will."

"Thank-you," Airiana said as she bowed and headed back to Obi-wan and Anakin's quarters.

First off, I hope this explains some things. Don't worry, though, I still have some surprises in store; after all, this is only the beginning. And thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate them, but don't stop now - keep reviewing!
