Death's Chosen Knight

Chapter 7

Coruscant, 47 B.B.Y.

Asajj sighed as she waited beside Ky outside of the Council chambers. She spent what little time left with her soon to be former master, learning all she could from him before he left the Jedi Order. She was practically shaking from anxiety and nervousness, feeling the stress of worry that everything would go wrong. She looked up to Ky as she felt him place a comforting hand on her shoulder, sending out a calming presence in the force. Soon, she heard a voice telling them to enter, and she gathered up her courage and walked into the room with Ky.

As soon as they reached the center of the room, both of them bowed to the Jedi Masters sitting within the room. She soon watched as a small green alien narrowed his eyes at her, looking deeply at her soul, searching for something. After a few minutes, he closed his eyes and leaned back, saying, "Sense a strong destiny for this child, I do. But see the future of this child, I do not."

Soon another master spoke up, asking, "What should we do, for all we know, this child could be the downfall of the Jedi Order."

The aged Grandmaster sighed and said, "No, Master Mundi, sense the downfall of the Jedi, this child will not be. The fate of the galaxy, and its survival, I do."

Ki-Adi Mundi soon looked even more scared as he said, "Then this monster will be destined to destroy the galaxy. We should destroy it before it destroys every living thing."

Soon, a woman's voice began speaking, saying, "This child is not destined to destroy the galaxy. Instead, this child will walk a dark and lonely path that only one other has ever walked. This path is the key to allowing this child to help save the galaxy from the destruction of the Sith."

Everyone looked and saw a ghostly woman standing beside Asajj, smiling gently at the Dathomirian Padawan.

Soon, Mace Windu spoke up, asking, "Who are you, and how is it that you are here?"

The woman bowed and said, "My name is Satele Shan, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order during the Old Republic. And for how am standing among you, I can only say that it is through the force that I stand before you."

Soon, Dooku looked at the ethereal woman and said, "I had once thought my former padawan was delusional about the living force, but now I think he may have known something that not even I was aware of."

Yoda soon cleared his throat and said, "Spoke of one other, following a path the child will. Who?"

Satele merely looked saddened and said, "My ancestor, the former Sith Lord known as Darth Revan."

Master Mundi soon snarled out, "See, this child will doom us all. It must be destroyed."

Satele looked at the Jedi Master and said, "Your doom will be from your own weakness, the inability to see what is in front of you."

Ki-Adi Mundi looked livid at such an accusation, but before he could speak, Satele continued, saying, "This child will have the connection to the force seen by only one other, the former Emperor of the Sith, Darth Vitiate. Vitiate's connection to the force was like no other, and he could do things with the force that even Sith today can only dream about. Countless lives will be lost without having such power and the force has granted this power to the child."

Mace Windu looked at the former Grandmaster and asked, "Is there no other way to stop such a loss of life without such a dangerous power?"

Satele sighed and said, "Only if you wish for this child to fail the destiny it has been given."

Soon, Asajj spoke up, asking, "Why will my child have to walk the same path as your ancestor?"

Satele smiled gently at Asajj and said, "Because, at the end of his life, my ancestor was neither Jedi nor was he a Sith. Instead, he was a far stronger being. He was a disciple of the Force itself. He dedicated his life to serving both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force."

Yoda soon asked, "Difference, what would this make?"

Satele looked at the current Jedi Grandmaster and said, "She would be able to see both what is hidden within the shadows of the Dark Side, as well as follow the peaceful ways of the Light."

Yoda nodded and said, "Do nothing to this child, the Jedi will. Instead, be there, when the help is needed, The Jedi will."

Satele nodded and soon vanished from everyone's view. Ky sighed and said, "At this time, I feel it would be best to release Asajj as my padawan and I also will be leaving the Jedi Order."

With those words, Ky walked up to the Grandmaster and gently handed the ancient alien his lightsaber. Without a word, everyone watched as the exiled Master left the chamber.

Mace Windu was the first to snap out of it and ask, "What will happen to young Asajj now?"

Before anyone could speak, Dooku stood up and said, "I will take young Asajj Ventress as my padawan and complete her training."

Soon, everyone was shocked again, only to snap out of it when they heard the aged Grandmaster laughing. Everyone looked confused until they heard him say, "Truly special, this child will be. But know your plans for the child, the Council should know."

Asajj nodded and said, "I wish to have my daughter on Dathomir. Should anything happen to the Jedi or the Republic, she would be protected by her birth on Dathomir, as she would be a born Nightsister."

Mace Windu looked concerned as he asked, "I know that the Nightsisters are broken up into multiple clans. Do you know which one you are from?"

Asajj sighed as she said, "I remember very little from Dathomir, but I do remember that I was from the same clan as the Nightmother herself."

Soon they heard Yoda speak up, saying, "A friend of the Jedi, Talzin is not. But an enemy, she is also not. Agree to this, the council will."

Everyone looked shocked but didn't dare to argue with the Grandmaster, as they had never before seen the dark look in his eyes. To anyone, it looked like he had just been told that war was on the horizon. Soon he closed his eyes and said, "Dismissed, the council is."

Everyone bowed and left the room, with Asajj carefully following Dooku to her new quarters. All Asajj could think about, was how everything went smoothly and that should be able to keep her child.
