Chapter XX
Ian Riath connected the battery-cell to the lightsaber's hilt and it shifted to cover it, using many Seeker meditations he interlocked his lightsaber even more refined than a Jedi's or Sith's, the red activation blade near the top of the hilt, while the finger-nail long emitter matrix was connected, having three slits on its side, allowing and excess heat to dissipate and not overheat the weapon, he had chosen to engrave his lightsaber with leather, leaving a much coveted design by his fellow padawans, and a finely melted gold filled his grip which was dotted with a reflective alloy, similar to durasteel.
Ian opened the crystal chamber and placed his training crystal inside, no wait, he remembered his master's teachings, the crystal must be pure, it could not have been used by another lightsaber, the young Jedi tossed his given lightsaber and crystal to the floor, hooking his new lightsaber to his belt, he would need more pieces before he could use it, until then he would use none.
Master Yoda sat meditating in his chambers as Obi-Wan entered, he took up a position opposite the Grand Master and folded his legs. The elderly Jedi opened his eyes and regarded Obi-Wan, "of your padawan you have come to speak, have you not?"
Obi-Wan nodded, "I fear that Ian is much too powerful for me too train, even more powerful than me,"
Yoda nodded, "felt his power I have, greatly magnified it has been. Why suppose this do you Master Kenobi?"
Obi-Wan frowned as he touched his beard, "Well, it would have to do with his lessons learnt while with the Seekers, but wouldn't that be deadly, dangerous?"
Yoda merely lowered his eyes, "More and more powerful your padawan grows, and clouded the future is, hmm," he sighed and closed his eyes, "sure that I am that you will find a way to redeem him, different his signs are, not from the dark side they are sprung, but from another part of the Force,"
Obi-Wan turned his face away from Yoda before continuing, "and I have also been getting a strange aura around Anakin, he's becoming more easily agitated than before, and I fear it may have something to do with the former Senator Amidala,"
Yoda looked thoughtful, "odd a bond there is between these two, hmm, clouded he makes his feelings, yet powerful they are for her,"
"That attachment nearly led to his downfall during the Clone Wars, when Master Windu feared he would be seduced by Palpatine's offer, he never did fully accept Anakin's decision, although as I saw from the camera feed, if Anakin hadn't pushed Mace aside he would have been destroyed by the Sith's Force Lightning," replied Obi-Wan.
"Escaped the Sith Lord did," amended Yoda, "saved the Masters Anakin did, defeated Sidious he did, on Mustafar,"
"But I still feel that Sidious is alive," replied Obi-Wan, "or at least some part of him, in the Force, just as Qui-Gon survived,"
Yoda nodded, "this I believe too, that is why refrained I have from playing an active member in this war, find Sidious if return he does I must, fail again I cannot,"
Obi-Wan understood what the Grand Master meant, how he Yoda, could stand beside Palpatine and not sense him as a Sith, the Jedi were becoming even more weaker.
"Then I will meditate with you,"
Ian Riath activated the Seeker Holocron that he had pocketed while on Last Sight, although his Jedi training would have led him to turn it into the council, something seemed to entice him to finding its secrets for himself.
After making sure that he was alone the small cube hovered before it activated, and a short man appeared, with long blue robes, a steady eye and an uneven jaw, "I am Kaga Duman, gatekeeper of this holocron, what is it you wish to learn?"
Ian wanted power, and so far after his former master's fall in battle against General Grievous he wish to gain even more power with which to defend himself and probably benefit all of the galaxy.
Maybe that was what he told himself as he spoke his next words, "I wish to learn the Lore of the Death Seekers, train me in their arts,"
Kaga's head bowed, "Then let us go back in history, let us…"
