"Padawan Odg, give your report about the mission", Thame Cerulian's voice was strict when she talked to the disheartened and exhausted Padawan who should have been there with his Master as his own positive self.
"My Master Jedova Wang and I arrived nearly two weeks ago at Ec Pand on schedule and the governor met us after we arrived to his estate. During the first week he wasn't attacked in a wide scale but then, in an early morning, Hopeakuu came with great forces to kidnap him. The guards had been knocked out as my Master and I reached them, and we saw how the governor was being dragged away. We went to help him. I was struck down and my Master protected both me and the governor for a moment. Hopeakuu's back-up forces came and we got surrounded and badly outnumbered. Even though I could protect the governor with my Master, one of the criminals managed to knock out my Master with electro-jabber and catch him. The rest of them started to aim at the governor and I had to choose between the governor's life and saving my Master. And I... I chose the governor's life. Our mission was to protect him and I... I strongly felt that my Master would survive. But I've heard nothing about him. Hopeakuu left the governor alone after this and I got the order to return here as the situation had calmed down on Ec Pand," Degu reported, trying to keep his voice even. He did not succeed. For a few days, he had been responsible for the governor's safety alone and his mental stamina had gotten closer to its limit without any information about his Master's situation.
"A difficult decision you made, and yet doubt you do, if the right choice it was," Master Yaddle said.
"Yes, I... I thought that my Master could at least manage to contact someone but... nothing has been heard from him, so I'm not sure anymore if I did the right thing," Degu admitted.
"Do you sense that he's alive?" Reg Tug asked.
"Yes. But I can't reach him through the Force. It just... doesn't work. But he is alive, I know it for sure," Degu said.
"Then the right thing you did, for spared the life of the governor was. Find Jedova Wang we will, and meanwhile take care of himself he does. An experienced Jedi Master he is, not a youngling," Yoda said. "To rest and meditate, go now. Perhaps find your Master you will, when serene your mind is. Dismissed, you are."

Degu bowed and walked out of the Chamber, keeping his back straight. When he got out of there and the door had shut behind him, his posture collapsed and he scuffled to his quarters, sinking to a deep dream as soon as he had laid down on his sleep couch. Master, where are you?

At the same time on Kiros

"Arya is strong in the Force. She could possibly become a Jedi, but usually children who are older than one year are not taken," Jedova said.
"Her place is not here, I'm sure of it. Does she not have even the slightest of chance to become a Jedi Initiate?" Ni'Dea asked, desperate. This man was perhaps her only chance of ever sending Arya to the path she belonged to.
"I suppose she has. About a year ago a four-year-old Cerean was taken as an Initiate and he caught up with his peers quickly. If Arya is at least as quick to learn, her chances are good," Jedova told. "But even if her place isn't here, why are you telling me this? Do you believe that she is fated to be a Jedi?"
"That's the only path I see to be possible to her. Especially since she's even too interested about the Jedi path. Listen, this is the tribe of Water, but Arya has the ability to use the element of Fire alongside the element of Water, she proved that when she saved you. Actually, I'm convinced that even though her blood is of tribe of Water as purely as possible, her birth element is still Fire," Ni'Dea said. "It shouldn't be possible, but it is. And if she stays here, isolated from rest of the galaxy, her abilities will be wasted."
"As far as I know, there is no one in the Order who could teach using the Veledosian elements," Jedova remarked. "I don't know how that was handled before The Poisoning of Veledos."
"Seer Xa-Dor, my predecessor, once told me that during the former eras, back when some Veledosian children were given to Jedi training, those who became Padawans visited their tribe at some point on agreed times to be taught on using their element. It was an ancient tradition, strayed from only when the Master was someone who knew how to use that element," Seer reminisced.

Jedova considered carefully. "I can't promise anything, but I can at least try. If Arya is not accepted as an Initiate, I can bring her back."
"I understand. For the time being, you are the only person who knows the way here. When the time comes for Arya to be taught using Water, her Master must know the way here, naturally, but I'd like to keep the location of our village generally as a secret. We have lived in isolation for long and most of the tribe is not ready to meet the rest of the world," Seer Ni'Dea said. "Arya will need to know the location someday, but I'd rather keep it a secret few know until then – and even after it if possible."
"Of course. I will keep the location as a secret from as many as possible," Jedova promised.
"And yet one thing. If Arya's birth element truly is Fire, as I believe, she may become rather unpredictable. I've heard a lot about normal Veledosians of Fire having problems especially on controlling their feelings. For now, her mood is unusually difficult to bring down, but it may develop into a problem at least when she is a Padawan," Ni'Dea told and continued under her breath, "If she ever becomes a Padawan..."

Jedova nodded. Even though he knew that some Padawans did have problems with their emotions especially at the beginning of their training, he believed based on the Tribe Seer's words that for any Veledosian of Fire the feelings would be the most difficult thing.

However, he also knew that the Jedi Order as whole could help with that. If Arya would work hard, she had a chance to fare well as a Jedi.
