Obi-Wan went into his quarters and lay on his sleeping couch. He was baffled at the person he had just met. Chae'la was quite the impossibility. It's not that visions were unheard of in the jedi, many jedi had them, it was the intensity and frequency of the visions that baffled him. Usually visions were of people close to you but Chae'la had continuous visions about people she had never met before. Obi-Wan was curious how much of his life Chae'la had seen. When they had been talking she had recognized most of his friends and many masters in his tales. She was even able to tell some of the stories for him. It was rather creepy, meeting someone who knew so much about you, when you know next to nothing about them. But Chae'la seemed like a nice enough person. The force was very strong around her but it was a gentle flow not an overwhelming power like other Jedi. She was a quiet personality but she had some spunk. Not overbearing but no push over. Her personality was much like her looks. She was beautiful, small featured and delicate, but strong muscles lined her body. Obi-Wan fell asleep in the middle of his thoughts and was woken up some time later by the medical droid.
"Sir, we have dropped out of hyperspace and have arrived at Coruscant. Oh and your patient seems to have stopped breathing, what do you require I do?" Obi-Wan sprang from the bed and ran to the medical bay. He checked her vitals and her heart was still beating softly but she had stopped breathing. He ordered the medical droid to put an oxygen mask on Chae'la and to help start her breathing. He ran to the cockpit to see he was almost at the temple, only a few minutes more. Obi-Wan veered through the space lanes of Coruscant to get to the temple. He had called ahead, before he went to sleep and let the masters know his situation, so when he got to the temple a medical team was waiting outside for him. Obi-Wan opened the hatch and grabbed Chae'la and carried her out to the medical team. They quickly took her to the medical wing and asked Obi-Wan to wait outside in the waiting room. His last glimpse of her was her silver hand hanging limply from the table.
Obi-Wan cursed himself for sleeping for so long and for not taking better care of the young woman. He flopped down on a chair outside the med bay and worriedly put his head in his hands. Soft footsteps and a tapping stick stopped in front of him.
"Know her master I did. Tough the Witches of Dathomir are. Worry for her you should not," Yoda came and sat beside Obi-wan.
"You knew Rell?"
"Gave her the Chu'unthor's record disks I did. A mystery this young woman is. Sense her we did not, though powerful she is."
"So you believe that she has visions of the future, our future?" My future, Obi-wan thought to himself.
"Very strong in the force she is. A strange power in her I sense. Talk to her myself first, before conviction of this will I have," Yoda said with quiet conviction. Yoda always had a way of settling Obi-Wan's fears and misgivings. Yoda waited with Obi-Wan until the healer came out a few hours later, to tell them Chae'la was going to be okay. Obi-Wan went to contact his master and to update him on what he had learned. Qui-Gon was somewhat disturbed and intrigued by the discovery of this extremely powerful ally.
"Do you want me to return to Borgo Prime to help with the investigation?"
"No padawan, the bounty hunter was apprehended this morning by the Hutt Jebjeb. Unim was apparently wanted by the Hutts for an assassination on a key family member. I got the information back and am on my way to Coruscant now. It seems as if he knew we were on his tail, he did send those droids after us."
"Alright master, I'll be waiting."
Following a suggestion from Yoda, Obi-Wan went back to his quarters to drop off his gear and then headed off to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat. He saw his friends Garen and Quinlon at a table and joined them.
"Obi-Wan, back so soon? How did your mission go?" Garen asked.
"Very, very unexpected."
Obi-Wan explained to them the last few days and the last few hours in particular. Both boys were shocked.
"When I left they had brought her into the recovery ward. Her wound was nearly healed it was just that poison."
"Wow, I've never heard of anything like that, the visions I mean. That's crazy" Quinlon said after a beat.
"Well Obi if she saved your life we had better go see her make sure she's alright and thank her for saving our buddy," Garen got up from the table with Quinlon and Obi-Wan following him. Obi-Wan grabbed a muja fruit for Chae'la.
Chae'la was awake when the three boys went to go check up on her. She smiled big and greeted all three of them by name, putting Quinlon and Garen a little on edge.
"I was right Obi, that is creepy," Quinlon said with a dashing smile, tossing Chae'la the fruit.
Chae'la grabbed the fruit and apologized, "I sometimes forget that it's a little disconcerting to have someone know you and not the other way around. I'll have to work on that," Chae'la said a little abashed.
"How you feeling?"
"Good, the poison was rather basic so they took care of it right away, no long term damage." Chae'la said eating the juicy fruit.
Just then Obi-Wan's commlink went off. His master was back from Borgo Prime. Obi-Wan excused himself from the group and took off to find his master. Garen and Quinlon stayed.
"So what are you planning on doing now?" Quinlon asked curiously.
"I'm to go before the council tomorrow. They are going to determine whether or not my visions are real."
"Are you nervous?" Garen asked sitting down in the chairs near Chae'la's cot.
"A little, not really. I've been waiting for this my entire life."
"Well Garen and I have been in front of the Grand Masters many times, you'll do fine. So what can you tell me about our future's?" Quinlon asked raising his eyebrows.
