Stepping Back

“Troubled Padawan Baldour,” A voice asked and she turned to see the Drakmarian master Ozan walking toward her. “Apologies for interrupting your attempts to see the future but Master Hoosha asked me to speak with you.” She tried not to look at this breath mask as the lizard like sentient needed it to live. She had no idea how to tell him what she was feeling.

“The future is changing constantly every time I look it is different I don’t know how to get it back to what I saw on Ruusan.” She finally admitted. She couldn’t understand before Ruusan everything had been clear and even on the planet with that massive vision everything had laid out easily but now it was a mess. “I don’t even know if I made the right decisions anymore.”

“Yes, it can be difficult to know when dealing with shatterpoints if one has made the right call or not.” The old master said as he turned. “You are familiar with shatterpoints and I don’t just mean the physical application in breaking material but the more metaphysical one involving the force?”

“Master Hoosha explained them to me but I’ve never seen them before is that what I’m experiencing now?” She had never expected to be someone to have that rare of an ability. She knew that most Jedi could perceive them in physical objects but finding them in the force usually required in born talent or massive dedicated training.

“No you experienced Shatterpoints on Ruusan what you are seeing now is the future in motion.” The old master said sadly. “Our enemy whoever they may be can also see the future when you thwarted their plans for the training camp they sensed it and are now scrambling to restore their vision of the future.” She felt a sense of dread she’d always hoped the future was in motion but now that she was seeing it she wished it wasn’t. “I have come to you for two reasons one to offer to teach you enough to start you on the road to learning to access your recently discovered shatterpoint ability and to tell you to step back and stop trying to see the future constantly.”

“What do you mean Master,” She was truly confused. “I have this gift surely, I’m supposed to use it to help create a better future.” She didn’t understand how the master could ask her to stop trying to see the future when they needed to get ahead of their enemy’s changes.

“You cannot shape the future, when you need to see the force will guide you to see.” The old master said serenely. “You are falling into the same trap as our enemy no seer no matter how gifted can truly control the outcome of time itself; every choice has consequences that we can not even begin to see.” The old master then gave her an ominous stare. “Those who seek to control every out come inevitably fall onto a dark path that destroys them step back accept the guidance of the force when it comes to you and use your own good judgement when it doesn’t.” The old master said. “If you cannot step back then I cannot teach you to use your shatter point ability,” the old master said. “Are you willing to step back?”

She felt paralyzed for a moment and almost refused she needed to know what to do and she almost looked toward the future but stopped herself. She realized in that moment that she was becoming addicted to knowing the future and that the master was right it couldn’t end well. “I can step back Master Ozan I have to.”

“Very good Padawan Baldour,” the old master said with his race’s version of a smile. “We shall begin your training tomorrow but for now as a request to me do not try to see at all until after the trials if a vision comes accept them but otherwise do not look to the future.”

“I will not look to the future Master,” She said bowing. She felt a sense of rightness from the force for the first time since Ruusan. She was glad her master had sent the Old master to her. She would thank her next time she saw her.

The End.

His Mother’s visit

The Empire was at war and he was sitting in his great grandmothers receiving room with her, his mother, his uncle and two Imperial Knights. The goat legged with horse hooves horned alien who’s species escaped him that had been standing guard off and on the last few days and his mother’s Borneck body guard Valery Teff. He was very familiar with the pale yellow skinned woman though she always kept a respectable distance from and refused to interact as equals with royalty. “Tor, your grandmother tells me that your staying in my old room?” His mother said once again reminding him of the injustice of his house arrest while the Empire was fighting a war. “I studied the history of it extensively I should go tell you where everything in there came from.” He knew his mother’s passion for the Empire’s history was the only thing his great grandmother liked about her. Her reputation as being flighty and naive meant that after his father’s death his great grandmother had taken an interest in him and his brother. “We can go right now Galen, Grandmother why don’t we all go?”

“I need to talk to Galen alone,” His great grandmother said with a commanding tone. “Just take your body guard she can watch out for any episodes Tor might have.” It took a lot not to snort at the lie they’d told to keep anyone from believing him that he was having episodes where he’d rant about untrue things and get violent.

“No, take Janos, he is better able to spot the beginning of those episodes,” his Uncle Galen said quickly. He saw his uncle’s look and knew what it really meant. His uncle wasn’t sure Valery would stop him from telling his mother but his hand chosen guard to watch over him and his grandmother would.

“That’s fine come on Tor,” His mother said cheerfully and as he and the Imperial baby sitter followed she began to talk about the history of the mansion that his grandmother lived in. He wasn’t even paying attention by the time they reached the room he was in. “Janos guard the door Tor, we don’t have much time so please no questions until I’m finished.” His mother said shocking him into alertness.

She walked over to an antique mural of an ancient battle on the wall. “Watch closely Tor,” she said motioning him over. She began to push spots on the mural and the figures lit up and the mural slid down to reveal a massive crawl space. “I found this as a teenager one of our ancestors built it secretly you can hide stuff from Galen and the Moff’s search teams here.”


“You know the truth?” He said and she nodded. He started to ask again but then he remembered what she had asked him so he quieted down and waited. She walked over to the guard who handed her a bag that he’d been carrying hidden somewhere on his person.

“This is the most important thing Janos is the only guard you can completely trust.” His mother said surprising him. “He like me is part of an organization that transcends borders and we will be doing everything in our power to end this war no matter what it takes.” She looked sad. “I never expected to be telling you about all this in such a hurray but we can’t stay too long.” She pulled a holocron out of the bag then. “This comes to you threw Jennica Maral your brother’s new body guard.” He was staring in shock. “She and all the others aside form Cadets Quest and Berus took the deal after being warned by the Jedi Seer Tasha Baldour that they would be killed if they didn’t.” So they had known that’s why they had seemed to dread heading to Bastion. “She told them what assignments to take to help Master Sa’vin save the Empire from itself.” He was still stunned that he hadn’t been told.

“I know it seems strange that you weren’t told but according to Maral someone had to object and only you and your master wouldn’t be killed.” He supposed he could understand that though he hated the thought of the Empire killing for its secret. “When Master Sa’vin contacts you and your great grandmother keep quiet about my organization only Master Sa’vin knows about us and he agrees with me that your great grandmother can never know she would not accept outside help.” He could understand that his great grandmother placed the honor of the Empire above all other things. “There are a few more things in the bag you’ll need a tool kit and a focusing crystal to start work on a new light saber and a copy of your father’s holo journal I gave one to your brother before they were shipped out.” His mother said sounding tired. “I probably won’t be able to see you in person again since Galen and the Moffs are having us shipped all over the place I’ll try to send word to you threw Janos and when the time is right he’ll help you escape and meet up with your half brother who is also in our organization.”

“Half brother?” He asked completely shocked. “You mean the one no one ever talks about who failed as Imperial Knight and ran off to be a Bounty Hunter?” He had asked questions when he was little only to be told by his older relatives not to ask.

“That isn’t what happened Galen ran him out of the Imperial Knights because he hated your father but couldn’t bring himself to take things out on blood family members.” His mother said tiredly. “There are Jedi and supposedly deceased Imperial Knights in our organization and they completed his training I wish I had time to give you all the details but if we don’t head back soon Galen may get suspicious.” He wanted to know more but he understood. “Just remember I love you and your brothers and no matter what happens I will get you out of here and back free again.” His mother said giving him a quick hug and then raising the mural back to hide what she’d given him. “Let’s go, Janos take care of my son.”

“I will,” The Imperial guard said with a bow. “You have my word as a Paladin.” He said and then as they walked back down the hall his mother began to play the part of the cheerful historian again. He wondered how little he actually knew about his own mother as he followed her back. He hated to admit it but he’d accepted the popular belief that there wasn’t much to her just like everyone else.

The End.
