Chapter 12. The Prophecy
The judicial case against Council Ven was still going on and Derjon Wells was still investigating all links to the trade federation. Many in the senate felt that it was time to disband the federation, but for all the controversy that surrounded the federation it had done a lot of good with Barto Gunry at the helm.
While the Master plan took shape Darth Plagueis was planning for the future. Several images in the force drove him to his current project and that was manipulating the force to create life. While N12 searched for a suitable host to carry Plagueis' force progeny, Plagueis himself traveled to the deep core planet of Tanvetus III. The legendary birth place of the Jedi.
His private company Bostat Stellar was excavating the planet for archaeological finds. It was a cover to plant his force progeny into the Jedi order. It took Plagueis several weeks to create the proper scrolls for the Jedi. Even the most sophisticated scans and knowledgeable scientists wouldn't be able to tell the difference. He placed the scrolls himself then he sealed the vault of the ancient Jedi.
"Replace the dirt and contact the Jedi after I have left the system…" Plagueis said to the forman.
Three weeks later Jedi Master Thadius Horn had arrived on the planet to inspect the dig site. "I didn't know that any companies were aloud this deep into the core…"
"Watch your head master jedi… Yes we got approval from the vice chancellor for the exploration project… The Senate is considering building an outpost out here… anyway my company got wind and here we are…"
The foremen lead Horn down a long tunnel aligned with glow rods. Construction teams were reinforcing the tunnel so that it didn't collapse. "I don't see any construction droids…"
"And you won't Master Horn… these are clones…"
"Clones?"
"Yes we bought them from… Well I am not at liberty to say, but they are more cost efficient than droids…"
The tunnel was a hundred feet long and went into a huge cave where an ancient temple was imbedded into the mountain. Horn was the only Jedi to come because the deep core was filled with ancient stories of the sith and their empire; also the high council didn't want to loose anyone to the darkside.
They had ridden up the tunnel in a speeder car. Thadius reverently walked up the temple stairs and ran his hand across the stone entry way, which was lined with ancient hieroglyphs. He recognized some of them from his studies in the archives as a chronolocer.
"Amazing isn't it Master Jedi…"
"Yes it is…"
They entered the temple and crossed the foyer to another large room, "This is where the ancient Jedi gathered together…" The room was lit by candles atop stone obelisks. There was a symbol on the floor encased in a circle. The walls were decorated with paintings of Jedi performing force acts. There was also a depiction of the treaty of free systems that formed the Galactic Republic.
The foremen lead Thadius to an adjacent room that lead to the vault. The door could only be opened by the force and when they opened an ancient scroll was found. The vault also contained records of alien species that inhabited the unknown regions and others that were wiped out during the Mandelorian wars. There also was a complete record of the Rakata Empire.
It took twenty days to translate the ancient scroll that was found in the vault and Thadius read the following to the Masters of the council:
And a boy of humble beginnings shall come and be trained as a Jedi and he shall bring balance to the force and the light shall shine and there shall be no more darkside…
Many on the council wanted to search for the one who would bring balance, while others debated that the one would come forth in the proper time. Yoda himself kept his thoughts and opinions to himself as apart of him couldn't help but feel that it was too convenient. Thadius felt that the news should be shared with all Jedi and told as many as he could before he was silenced by Jedi Master Dekoda.
