Ahsoka sat down, facing the four Jedi. Shaak Ti closed her eyes for a minute before she started to speak:
„I know you must have tons of questions, but please be patient. First I must tell you what I realised during your Aalch'ikti. This explanation will be very long, and it might'll answer some of your questions, without you having to ask." she paused for a moment „What I'm about to tell you, is a rather deficient knowledge, but still, I can assure you, I know the most about this matter, in the entire Galaxy. I've gained this knowledge, while I was training my own Padawan in complete isolation, on Shili.
The Togrutas are nomads today, and this had been like this as far as our historical records go. Shili has very few ruins left by our ancestors. One of them is the 'Tien'tom o Lienjeg', which is well over a hundred-thousand years old. Those ancient walls are hiding unimaginable secrets. It's not an exaggregation to say, that all the knowledge we, Jedi have gathered in the Archives, are incignificant compared to the smallest piece of information within that place. I merely scrached the surface of that ocean, and it nearly overwhelmed me.
Before I go on, you must understand the nature of Force. As you know the Force is an energy-field, that surrounds, and imbide everything within the universe. The Force comes from every single energyfilled particle, or on other words from everything that exists. The Force is the ultimate testament of existence in the universe. However, exactly because it's tied so thighly to existence, not even the strongest Force-users are capable of breaking or altering the rules of reality. For example, we can't create energy out of nothing. The best we can do with the Force, is transforming one form of energy into another, which is alone very hard to accomplish. But this law doesn't apply to everyone." she paused, trying to gather her thoughts.
„Long ago, there were a few amongst our people, who had the ability to ignore, or even over-write the laws of reality. Only once in each five century, a Togruta had born on Shili, who's powers were well beyond our understanding. They were called 'Lienjeg Őrzők', which could be translated as 'Essence Tamers' on this language.
At this point I think I should express, that I know very little of them, as well as their powers. The Temple –which was build by the Tamers- in a sence is similar to a Holocron. Just like the Holocron can only be activated by a Force-user, the Temple won't share it's secrets, with anybody. Altought Togruta with very strong connection to the Force can access to some the information within, only the Tamers themselves were able to unlock all the secrets. Most of what I know is speculation, based on what little I could find out from the pieces of information the Temple revealed to me. Therefore what I'm telling now, is vague and ambiguous.
So, the Tamers…I don't know where their power comes from, but I know some of it's working. As I said earlier, they're capable of altering the laws of reality. For instance, the first known Tamer, who built the first chambers of the Temple, had the ability to almost freely manipulate both space and time. He was even able to change certain events in the past." Ahsoka until this point listened very carefuly, but Master Yoda's, Plo's and Anakin's reactions to this statement distracted her. The two elder Masters looked just as shocked as she felt, but Anakin's expression scared her a bit. For a split second she saw uncontrollable desire running through his face, and she thought she had heard his breathing got stuck. With relatively great effort, Ahsoka drove her mind back to Master Ti's explanation:
„The name he called this ability by could be translated as „Dimension Taming", which suggests he was capable of even more than this, but I can't be sure about it. On the other hand, I know the exact capablities of the last known Tamer. He was the only one to gain wider reputaion in the Galaxy, as he died protecting Shili in Exar Kun's war." She stopped for a moment, before asking Ahsoka „Have ever heard of the Shaddow Forest of Shili?" Ahsoka nodded unsurely. The name sounded familiar, but it didn't necessarily mean she knew what the Master was talking about. Names like this had become cliché, about a million years ago.
„It is the creation of the last Tamer. He used his powers to transform the invasional army –with many power Sith Lords in it's ranks- into wood." Ahsoka dropped her chin, and the Masters seemed shocked as well –apparently this was new information for them as well, despite what Ti said about this Tamer's wider reputation. The Togruta master continued, not noticing –or pretending to- the confusement her words caused:
„He achived this because he was able to freely reconstruct the particles of any living cell in any organism. By turning their bodies into trees, he entrapped their souls, permanently. However" and now her voice turned rather grim „he paid a heavy price. He didn't survive his victory. To stop the Sith he overused his ability, lost control of it, and died." at this point Ahsoka lost her patience. As intriguing as the story was, she couldn't see where Master Ti was going with it:
„But what does all of this have to do with me?" she asked. The elder Togruta looked at her, and sighed:
„I don't know if the legend of the Linarali is true or not. Frankly, I don't really believe in prophesies and myths at all. But I know it for a fact, that the ability of most of the known Tamers was to manipulate the Essence of the four ancient elements, or rather the four aggregates they symbolised. I don't really understand this part, as I'm not an Essence Tamer, and I could unlock only a very few secrets they left in the Temple. But I'm convinced about that, you possess this ability, Ahsoka. It was this power you instinctively used to stop Sul Caas, and you used it again today, during your Aalch'icti, when I pushed you to your limits." Ahsoka couldn't belive what she was hearing.
„No, you must be mistaken." was all she managed to gasp, but Ti continued, indifferently:
„There's no mistake. What I know about them, is in complete synch with Master Plo's story, and you've shown two unmistakeable signs tonight, One of course is the way you blocked the boulders I hurled at you. The other is how you responded to my Ch'icti o akul. It's a fighting style designed by the Tamers. It has seven circles, and you immediately learned a the forth, barely by watching me, performing the third." she paused meaningfully, before stating what all the others already figured out in the room:
„Ahsoka, you're an Lienjeg Őrző."
Fhu, I finally got here.
I guess it's quite obvious, so I tell now, that the inspiration I mentioned, in my comment on CH9, for these ideas, mainly came from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and partially from Naruto.
PLEASE REVIEW, and please tell me you opinion about the way I'm going with this story.
