After separating herself from Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Freya followed Padawan Jenna who was guiding her to Master Cin Drallig.
"Pardon my curiosity, miss Freya but I never saw you inside the temple before and I was wondering why?" asked the young Jenna.
"That is because, it is the first time I step foot inside the Jedi Temple of Coruscant." answered Freya.
"But how? I mean you have two lightsabers with and I don't think that you are a bounty hunter, so how is that possible?" Jenna said surprise clearly evident in her voice.
"It is a simple answer really, I was frozen in carbonite for a long time and the Jedi Temple during my time wasn't located on Coruscant." answered Freya slightly amused by the young Jedi curiosity. It reminded her of her former apprentice Ashara Zavros, a female togruta she had met on Taris. Thinking of her former apprentice reminded Freya of her situation and while outwardly the small smile she had on her face didn't disappear, inside was another matter. To her Ashara was like a little sister she never had and thinking of her reminded her of the pain her heart felt since the time she was awakened from her slumber.
"Miss Freya, if you don't mind me asking what was the Jedi Order in your time?" asked Jenna trace of worries in her voice has if she had sensed Freya sadness.
"It was similar but also different from the Jedi Order you have grown to know, I think the only differences from my time and today is the fact that most Jedi wore blaster resistant body-armor, there was a war and that relation were not discouraged." answered Freya.
"I see, well we have arrived to the training rooms Master Drallig should be here" said Jenna indicating to an open door on the two woman left.
Meanwhile Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were inside the turbo-elevator that would lead them at the top of the Jedi Temple central spire where the Council chambers were located.
"Master, do you think Freya told us the truth? I mean if what she said was true then she come from a time were Jedi and Sith existed and she could be one." asked Obi-Wan concern evident in his voice.
"I didn't sense any darkness or malice inside her but I do think that she isn't telling us the whole truth." answered Qui-Gon in a calm voice "And even if she is a Sith, I don't think that she would be foolish enough to come to us with hostile intention." Qui-Gon continued still as calm.
"I see, Master" answered Obi-Wan concern still in is voice.
"Do not worry Obi-Wan, we will have our answer. But now we need to center ourselves on what the Council may asked of us." said Qui-Gon as the elevator neared its stop.
"Padawan Jenna, how may I help you?" asked Cin Drallig the Jedi Battlemaster, surprised by the two woman that entered the training room he was in, his voice silently asking for an explanation.
"I am serving as a guide for Freya, it is her first time inside the jedi temple and she asked if it was possible for her to repair her lightsabers." answered Jenna.
"Is there something wrong with your lightsabers, Freya?" asked Cin surprised at the mention of multiple lightsabers.
"Yes, they spent far too long in carbonite much like myself, sadly. But I'd rather not talked about it." Freya answered in a calm voice.
"I see this workbench should have everything you need to repair your lightsabers." Cin replied while pointing to his left were multiple workbench and shelf.
Freya nodded in thanks as she unclipped both her lightsabers. She begun by disassembling her single bladed lightsaber and already noticed how badly damaged were the internal components a heavy sigh escaped from the Sith mouth as she started replacing the components that were damaged.
Unlike many Sith of her era, her single blade lightsaber featured a natural yellow crystal instead of the more traditional synthetic red crystal. She remember when she had found the crystal while she was walking inside one of the many cave that her home world possessed, it was the day she discovered her Force-sensitivity. As she was finished with her single blade lightsaber, she activated it smiling as it work without any problem, then putting it back on her belt.
She then started disassembling her double bladed lightsaber, to master Cin Drallig it was obvious she had repaired her two lightsabers countless time however he didn't fail to notice that Freya was far more careful with her double bladed lightsaber than her single bladed one as if she was holding something valuable but fragile, he also noticed that it used two violet crystal rather than yellow ones which intrigued him.
Freya once she had finished reassembling her double bladed lightsaber, activated it. The twin violet blade sprung forth much to the weapon owner delight for she was smiling and her eyes sparkled with an almost childish glee.
She then started practicing her moves to get a feel for her weapon, as would obviously weight differently than she was used to. To the observant battle master, it was clear that the katas she was practicing belonged to the fourth form of lightsaber combat Ataru, by the fluidity of Freya's move Cin Drallig suspected the woman to have seen actual combat, suspicion that were quickly confirmed when she started practicing another set of advanced katas with her single bladed lightsaber.
"You wanted to see us." asked Qui-Gon after he and his Padawan entered the Council meeting room.
"Yes, wanted to see you we did." answered Master Yoda.
"Supreme Chancellor Valorum has tasked the Jedi Order with a mission. I suppose that you are aware of the situation in the mid-rim" said Mace Windu.
"Yes, we are," answered Qui-Gon "The Trade Federation is blockading the world of Naboo. I suppose the Chancellor wish for the Jedi to investigate the matter discretely?"
"Yes, the Chancellor wish that the two of you take care of this situation discretely. Neither the Senate nor the Trade Federation have been informed about his decision." confirmed Master Windu.
"I understand, Masters. My Padawan and I will make preparation to leave immediately." Qui-Gon paused for a moment thinking about the woman they had met earlier and her request to speak to the Jedi Council.
Master Yoda noticing Qui-Gon thoughtful expression asked "Something on your mind there is?"
"Yes Master Yoda, on our way here, my Padawan and I met with an unusual woman by the name of Freya" answered Qui-Gon.
"And what was unusual with this woman?" Mace asked his Force-sense tingling at the woman name.
Qui-Gon looked like he was thinking for a moment before answering "She is strong in the Force and I believe that she is a fully trained Force-user. She also spoke to my Padawan and I with telepathy which seemed to be as natural to her as breathing."
Obi-Wan was trying to stop the blush that was creeping on is face as he started remembering the woman and her appearance.
"Interesting, did she said anything else?" asked Mace while leaning forward, thoughtful expression clearly visible.
"She requested to speak before the Council. Freya also claimed to be three and a half millennia old" Qui-Gon replied all the while noting the shocked expression appearing on the Council member faces. "I do not think that she meant it in a literal sense, as she did mention that she was frozen inside carbonite. How she is alive and well is a mystery to myself as to her."
"I see," Mace said, as he leaned back on his seat.
Yoda looked at the Korun master "That look, have you, Master Windu," he stated. "Think Freya, a shatter-point is."
Mace nodded. "It is possible, there is only one way to be sure, Master Yoda." The Korun Master had unique form of Force-perception that allow him to see the shatter-points between situations, beings and circumstance. These shatter-points revealed situations which were reliant on. Shatter-points could create links between creatures, beings and planets, and if destroyed or utilized, they could hold the keys to avert a disaster, seal a fate, winning battles and fulfilling the will of the Force itself. "Where is Freya now, Master Qui-Gon?" Mace asked.
"She should be with Master Cin Drallig her lightsabers didn't work properly, I assigned Padawan Jenna as her guide" answered Qui-Gon.
"Before summoning we do, want to know I do, what Freya said telepathically." said Master Yoda.
"She ask the both us "if we were done?" I believe that in my case she asked if I had finished probing her with the Force, while in the case of my Padawan she asked him if he was done being distracted." answered Qui-Gon.
"I see summon them we will. Stay here you two shall," Yoda replied with a small smile. "Curious about her, you two are." He then turned to one of the Master present in the room "Jenna you're Padawan be. Contact her and summon them here you must."
As Master Cin Drallig and Freya were discussing lightsaber techniques, the two of them heard the Padawan speak through her commlink to her Master. The young Padawan approached them and bowed before speaking "Sorry to interrupt you Battlemaster Drallig, but Freya and I have been summoned by the Council."
"I see, well Freya I hope that we may be able to continue our discussion." Cin stated.
"As do I, Battlemaster. Well Jenna I think we should go now." replied Freya.
After a short time the two woman entered the Council's chambers, with the Padawan in front of the pair "Master Yoda," both women bowed respectfully as Jenna spoke, "may I present you our guest Freya."
"Welcome you to the Jedi Temple, I do," Master Yoda said, He then turned toward Qui-Gon "See what you meant, I do," before he turned back toward Freya "Extremely strong in the Force you are."
To Master Yoda and Windu it was obvious from the moment Freya entered the room, why Qui-Gon said she was unusual, the white haired human was looking barely above twenty five years old and yet her connection in the Force rivaled that of Master Yoda and that beside her age she was probably has wise as the Jedi Grandmaster.
Freya had decided that it wasn't the time for her to revealed her Sith nature as she had sensed that the chain of event that would realize her vision concerning the Republic and the Jedi would start very soon.
Master Windu was certain that the woman in front of her was a shatter-point and even though the Force was hiding quite a few things from him about the woman he did sensed that the impact she would have on the Republic and the Jedi which was mostly good. Master Yoda studied the white haired blue eyed woman in front of him with the Force and sensed someone older, far older than what they seemed. "Older than you look you are. Entombed in carbonite you were."
"Yes, from what I have been told three thousand six hundred years have past since my time." Freya replied.
"While Freya should be dead, here she is," said a disembodied voice before a pale blue figure manifested itself.
"Grandmaster Satele Shan" spoke Freya recognition clear in her voice while Master Yoda surprised still recognized the former Jedi that manifested herself in front of the Council.
"Hello Freya, the vision you had you should show them." spoke Satele.
Freya nodded before proceeding to use the Force to show everyone present, with exception of the two Padawan, the vision she had while en route to Coruscant.
They saw a peaceful world being blockaded, a queen in danger, the republic being torn apart by civil, the Jedi leading vast army time and again. As they felt the vision nearing to an end, they saw the Order stretch too thinly and in the end the Republic burned, the Jedi massacred by the very troop they led and with them all but eradicated they saw the Sith rise.
Master Yoda was the first to spoke, his age and knowledge helping him understand what just happen. "Dark Side rising it is, clouded the future is. Queen Amidala, in danger will be."
Freya frowned, so it has already started.
"The Jedi are not warrior, we are peacekeeper." spoke Master Ki-Adi-Mundi as several whisper of agreement were heard.
Freya snorted and before she could spoke her mind, Satele Shan spoke again. "True in this era the Jedi are not warriors, but during the Great Galactic War or the Hyperspace War Jedi were warriors who fought alongside and even lead Republic soldiers."
"Always changing the future is," Master Yoda spoke. "Out of balance the Force is, return of the Sith it could mean." the green alien continued as his drooped.
Master Windu leaned forward from his seat before he spoke. "Freya I was going to ask you to stay in the temple so we could speak more about your vision and your story but I believe that the Force wishes you to accompany Master Jinn and Padawan Kenobi, to assist them resolve the blockade crisis." Then Mace looked at her clothing. "And although your clothing are similar to that of Jedi, I believe it would be better if wore Jedi robes."
"Are you sure, it's wise Master Windu? We know practically nothing about this woman" said Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. There was something about Freya that bothered the Council none of them could put their finger on it.
"Will of the force, it is. Master Satele presence, confirmation is." Yoda said ending any argument.
"Well since, the message I wished to deliver has been, I shall go." Satele Shan said as her Force-ghost started to disappear. "Freya we will see again. I know you have some question but you will have your answers when He shows himself." Satele continued.
"Goodbye old friend." Freya whispered as the Force-ghost fully disappeared.
