Chapter 7
Kanan's P.O.V.
I had to deal with the council alone. I guess it makes sense because I was actually here when the attack happened, I didn't actually see anything, but everyone talked about it.
I was standing in the council room waiting for someone to speak. I'm not sure if this is more nerve racking than when I was younger.
It felt ridiculous, I'm a grown man. I have fought in many battles, evaded the Empire many times and I have learned how to fight while blind. I am braver than this.
"Let the meeting begin", said someone.
I can't really identify everyone, it's been a long time since I heard their voices.
"Kanan Jarrus, we need you to explain how we evaded a catastrophe", said Master Windu.
"Of course masters, it was a strange process. You initially wanted to use a duplicate of Master Yoda but decided against it for an unknown reason". As soon as I said it I realized how ridiculous I sounded.
Where would they possibly find a duplicate of Yoda? He's the only , yoda?, in the known Universe.
This was probably a rumor the younglings spread around. Why did I ever believe that?
"But in the end you insert a security system in your room as well as arm yourself with a gun", I stated.
I felt weird stares headed in my direction.
"A gun? Why would we use such a weapon?", asked Fisto?
"Well it was that or you got a stormtrooper, but after an issue, I don't think you'd let a clone trooper in here", I said, "And the attacker was shot on his shoulder"-
Did I really say stormtrooper? That would be weird since my trauma is towards clones. I guess it's alright if they didn't notice.
"You mean the incident with clones Tup and Fives? Your thoughts make sense", said Windu, "Why do you say you 'think'? Did you not participate in this before?".
"I apparently did, I just didn't know it. I was a youngling at the time of the attack. Any ways, it's all a pretty standard security system, I could help you install an impenetrable and disguised system", I said, "I do that in the future".
The force felt strange, maybe they don't trust me anymore?
"Alright, we'll get the materials for you to work tomorrow. You are dismissed": said Windu.
I turned around and walked out the the door. Maybe I should try to find Ezra, I could show him around to the best of my capabilities.
After going through two hallways, I felt a small tug on my clothes, "Walk with me, will you?", asked Master Yoda.
"Master Yoda? Of course, where should we go?".
"A place that eases you", he said.
"Would you enjoy the room of a thousand fountains?", I asked.
There was silence. Did he not like my offer? I start moving forward and I feel him besides me.
I try my best to get to the right place, but I get lost a few times In the end Yoda finished taking us to the room of a thousand fountains.
I walk in and feel at peace. I've missed this feeling. We sit down and take deep breaths.
"Hmm, lost you were", said Master Yoda.
"I guess you could say that before I got a padawan, I forgot who I was", I said surprised he had sensed that.
He started chuckling, "In the halls, I meant". Well that was embarrassing on my part.
"Oh, yes. I haven't been here in a long time", I probably shouldn't be saying this.
"Wear a mask, why do you?", he asked. Didn't they sense it.
"I lost my sight in a recent battle. I use the mask to cover my burns", I explained.
"Take it off, could you?", he asked. This sounds like something he would do.
I nod and take my mask off placing it on the ground.
"Hmm, matured you have", he said, "Meditate we should, get back to your time you and your friends must".
I nod and start to concentrate. How do we get back?
—
I enjoyed meditating with Master Yoda, he gives off a peaceful vibe. And the force just told me to go back to the temple.
Well we just kind of got here by entering a cave, I guess we can get out by walking into a Sith Temple.```
I walk to my room to find Zeb and Ezra already inside, "Where have you been?", asked Ezra.
"Meditating with Master Yoda", I said.
"You were meditating with Master Yoda and you didn't invite me? How could you! I need training!", exclaimed Ezra in an offended tone.
I'll just ignore him.
"So what did you guys do today?", I ask.
"We looked around, went to the training area and sparred with some padawans", said Ezra excitedly, forgetting that he was offended with me.
"We also met a kid that took us around. Name's Caleb I think", said Zeb.
They met me? I met them as a kid? How do I not remember this then?
"Sounds familiar? What did he do? Maybe I can remember him if you tell me how he acted?", I said.
Please don't let him - me do anything embarrassing.
"He was nice, a bit clumsy and overly enthusiastic, but he helped us get around. I also beat him at a sparring match. I guess you taught me better than you thought Kanan", said ezra proudly.
Well, he's never learning my real name. Can't let him get a big head because he found out he actually beat me in a sparring match.
"Good job Ezra, I'm proud of you. Now tomorrow I need to help the Jedi install a security system so I'm going to hit the hay right now", I said laying on my respective bed.
Maybe tomorrow we can go home, or at least I can look around at the temple.
