Author's note. PLEASE REVIEW! I know there are those of you out there who evidently have some interest in my story because of my stats report. Please review or else I will be depressed and stop writing.

While Aine finished packing up the kitchen supplies, Ianna stole away to get her last look at Dantooine.

She inhaled the fresh, cool air and raced over the dusky fields, running up one of the many hills near her home. Beyond a patch of trees, she saw a thick grove to her right. She had never really noticed it before…

Ianna walked slowly into the dark grove. Her skin crawled with excitement as she saw a mysterious grey pillar sunk into the ground ahead of her. Already her mind was conjuring a story of ghosts and romance. She stepped up to the column. It had several strange markings on it, like swirling waters and tree branches. Ianna was fluent in four languages, but had never seen anything like this before. Languages were her mom's specialty. "Could it be Mirialan? No. And it's definitely not Basic…" She reached out and touched the runes. Her mind was blown away with a powerful vision.

She was standing in the grove, but she wasn't Ianna, she was someone else. Figures in dark green cloaks stood in a circle around the pillar. Something was happening…

One of the figures chanted a strange language in a deep monotonous voice. A bright light shone in her eyes and a soft rumbling was heard. The light faded. The mouth of a cave had opened in the mountainside. The vision faded, leaving Ianna feeling nauseous.

Gasping for breath, Ianna looked up to see the maw of the cave looming before her. It had not been there before. She felt her feet moving forward.

The cave had more of the strange markings lining the insides. There were ancient scenes depicting great battles and brave warriors. There were several carvings of the figures in green cloaks. Then Ianna saw something that astounded her. An enormous mural was painted along the wall in front of her. The figures held lightsabers. "The Jedi were once here!" She turned down the passageway into a dark corridor. What she saw next was amazing.

Passing under ancient archway, Ianna's eyes came upon an awesome sight. A massive cavern stretched before her. It was much bigger than the hill outside suggested. "The tunnel must have been a slant." She said out loud. Massive carved stone columns supported the ceiling, but the most astounding aspect of the cave was the fact that its walls glittered with huge crystal formations of all colors. Life-sized stone figures stood scattered about the cavern. Ianna could feel the power of the place surging through her blood, it was almost overpowering.

"It's a temple…" She realized.

Picking her way carefully through the artifacts and crystals, Ianna made her way over to a patch of bright green crystals and picked up one that had broken off. Green had always been her favorite color. "Aine needs to see this!" she thought hurriedly and put the beautiful little crystal in her pocket. She turned around slowly, absorbing the feel of the temple, and ran out. Once she was out of the cave, she looked back, but all she could see was the ancient pillar.

OOO

As Ianna snuck back into the empty house, suddenly Aine was standing before her. A frown stretched across her pale face.

"You did not tell me you were going out." Aine's voice resounded through Ianna's mind, causing her to step back in surprise. She tried to respond in like fashion, but it didn't quite work.

"You need to reach out. Just saying something in your mind doesn't mean I hear it. This is one skill that I don't mind teaching you now. It will be useful in times of separation." Aine projected into Ianna's consciousness again.

"I was just out running." Ianna's mind said silently. This newfound ability stunned her. She grinned. "I guess I really can use the force."

Aine rolled her eyes sardonically at Ianna's comment. "Of course you can! Did I not just spend the past hour explaining this?"

"Maybe… you're way too uptight by the way."

"Oh forgive me for being raised as a Jedi." Aine said sarcastically.

At the reference to the Jedi, Ianna remembered the cavern. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the green crystal. Aine's eyes grew wide when she saw it.

"Where did you get that?" she asked calmly.

"I found this pillar in a grove about a mile away. When I touched it, I found a cave." She said conveniently leaving out a few details, "I went inside and there were strange carvings and a mural of Jedi. I went into a huge cavern that was filled with crystals like this one."

Aine's intense navy-blue eyes looked deep into Ianna's green ones. "You must forget what you saw." She said. "There are some things which you are not meant to see. You saw something else; I know you're not telling me everything." After taking the crystal, she put her hand on Ianna's forehead. As the memory of the temple began to slide into the back of her mind, Ianna consciously tugged at it to stay. But soon, it was darkness.

Ianna didn't understand when Aine whispered, "You will remember this when the time and place is right."

Aine walked over to pick up a box. "Come Ianna, we must get to the space port. It's time to leave."

Ianna snapped out of her stupor as if nothing had ever happened. "Can I drive the speeder?" She asked with a saucy grin.

"Not today."

Ianna shrugged, "It was worth a try."

Sorry the chapter is a bit rushed. I'm feeling tired today.
