"Master, do you know why the council wishes to see us so urgently?" the younger of the men asked.
"Master Windu didn't go into the specifics but I believe it is linked to the chancellor worry of for the situation in the mid-rim." answer the older, bearded man replied.
Freya smirked, her way inside the Jedi temple just presented itself to her.
"Master Jedi, may I speak to you for a moment?" both Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi heard an unusually accented female voice from behind them. Both men turned around to face the source of said voice and couldn't stop themselves from starring at the woman.
Qui-Gon raised an eyebrow at the woman choice of clothing, she was wearing robes of dark color similar to Jedi robes, her clothes were shorter and tighter accentuating her curves, he also noticed a pocket that seems to contain an holocron but he did miss the lightsabers that was attached to her and her back.
For his part Obi-Wan seems to have entered some sort of reverie after glancing at the woman, although the lightsaber hilt on the woman belt and part of what he assumed to be a double bladed lightsaber strap to her back just above her waist didn't go unnoticed by him.
Obi-Wan looked to his master but found him looking thoughtfully at the woman a hand stroking his beard. Obi-Wan returned his gaze to the woman and noticed her smiling, amused by something if the mischief in her eyes were something to go by.
Qui-Gon gently probed the mental shields of the mysterious woman and found them to be stronger than he anticipated, though they seemed to give away a little an indication that she knew full well what was going on. If the smile on her face was something to go by, it didn't seem as though the woman was not upset by the Jedi Master's gentle probe – as if she was expecting such a thing to occur.
Freya folded her arms of her chest and although her eyes contained annoyance, the tone of her voice was clearly an amused one. "Are you quite done, Master Jedi?".
"What… how?" stammered Obi-Wan clearly surprised by the woman display of telepathy.
"I would like to know how you did that as well," said Qui-Gon, "It's clear that you're force-sensitive, as you carry lightsabers. Yet something tell me you're not a Jedi."
"Telepathy isn't hard once you learned how to do it." responded Freya, "And yes, Master Jedi, I am not a Jedi but I do serve the Force or at least I try to all the while following my own path. But I would rather tell my story once and to your High Council, which I believe you were going before I interrupted you."
Qui-Gon surprised asked, "You wish to speak to the Jedi Council?" He was unsure of the woman's request, while he didn't sense any deception from the woman it was clear that she kept some things in the dark. Her word intrigued him the most, she said "your Order" and called herself a "servant of the force". The thought that she was a former Jedi master that left the order for whatever reason, it seems to him more likely that she was part of an obscure Force-using order from a distant part of the galaxy.
Freya smirked and spoke amusement clear in her voice, "I think telling them that a three and a half thousand year old Force-user should get their attention, don't you Master Jedi?".
Obi-Wan mouth fell open and spoke what was on his mind , "You don't look a day over twenty five, it's impossible that you're as old as you claim" His mind face-palming immediately at his rude comment on her age.
"Well, young padawan you're right and wrong at the same time" she replied a bit annoyed.
"How?" started Obi-Wan before he was interrupted by his master.
"Obi-Wan, I didn't sense any lie from her. Please pardon my padawan rudeness." said Qui-Gon.
"It's nothing Master Jedi, it seems as though my comment about my age snapped your padawan out of his reverie." Freya replied amused by the blush that was creeping on the padawan face.
"Obi-Wan, you do know that attachment are forbidden by the Jedi Code?" said Qui-Gon after having noticed his padawan state.
"Yes Master, I'm sorry." said Obi-Wan clearly ashamed by his breach of the Jedi Code.
"What a load of nonsense." came Freya's voice.
"Pardon?" ask both Jedi surprised by the woman comment all the while asking for an explanation.
"I think that your Order rule about attachment is an outdated rotting pile of nonsense, love and passion are two distinct emotions. Passion can lead to rage, anger and hate but it can be controlled and it isn't the thing as love." she explained.
"But aren't you worried about the dark side?" asked Obi-Wan curiosity and concern evident in his voice.
Freya shook her head as if saying no, "Not really. Yes it is something to be aware of and yes fear, anger, hate and passion are all emotions that can lead to the dark side. However they are just emotions that can be controlled but love will not condemn you, it will more than likely save you. What the Jedi should teach you is to control you're emotion will being in love instead of trying to teach to suppress your emotions and thus your humanity."
Both Jedi were silent for a moment pondering her statement. They still continued to walk toward the Jedi silently inviting the woman to follow them on their way to the temple. During that time the unlikely trio formerly introduced themselves.
Freya had revealed to the Jedi that she had already meditated on her situation even though she was still lost about it and also that both of her lightsabers didn't work properly anymore.
"So this is the Jedi Temple, impressive." said Freya.
"I take it that it is the first time you see the jedi temple, Freya." asked Qui-Gon while he was looking for someone who could take her see Master Cin Drallig so she could repair her lightsabers.
"Yes, it is" she responded to the older man.
"Padawan Jenna" called Qui-Gon to young Twi'lek girl.
"Yes, Master Qui-Gon?" the young girl responded while observing the woman that accompanied him and his padawan.
"This is Freya, could you take her to Master Cin so she could repair her lightsabers while me and my padawan go see the Council?" asked Qui-Gon while pointing at Freya.
"Yes of course, Master Qui-Gon." responded the young girl still curious about the white haired woman that she had accepted to guide to Master Cin Drallig.
