Forbidden Jedi Romances -Undeniable Patrimony

Aurora spent the next week watching Liam very closely and she could see that if she did not have him trained she would be denying a part of himself that was a gift from his father. As sad as she was she knew that because his life span was much longer than Qui Gon's and that in itself had the potential to reunite her with her son if the Jedi path was not all that life had to offer him. She had a gnawing feeling that there was a black cloud ready to descnd on the galaxy and because of her intuition as an Empyrean leader she needed to make preparations. She was insure of how to prepare her people because she did not know how soon the threat would be unveiled. In herself she struggled to know whether a military defense or a diplomatic stand would be the best course of action. She just knew that something beyond her realm of influence was rearing its ugly head. The Sith were deadly enemies and they would not stop until they got what they wanted. The horrific death of Qui-Gon and the experience Obi Wan had were just a taste of what the Sith could do. Aurora had to use all of her talent and wisdom to brace her system. She knew that if she shut her eyes to it like many systems were her very way of life would be altered.

 

Good, Aurora needs to be ready for the chaos that's gonna hit the galaxy in a few years.

 

This timeline has lots of great possibilities!!!

 

Aurora had an intense meeting with key leaders of her intelligence agency. She was seeing some very disturbing trends. There seemed to be the perfect setting for a civil war. The banking clan and the mining guilds could easily fund such an effort but what could they be thinking for such a drastic action to be taken. After what she went thru with Dragoon and the power that the Sith had she couldn't help thinking that there was a puppet master behind it. Unfortunately her system was very small in comparison
to the galaxy and even more disturbing was the fact that the Jedi were clouded in their ability to detect what was happening. Aurora decided to make an alliance with the Bothan Spy network. They were fearless and had many connections and Aurora had the resources and the respect that would keep them safely hidden. She would have to make many sacrifices to keep her people safe. The most daunting was the decision about Liam. Her precious son could be the key she needed to gauge what the Jedi would do in the future. Her love for Qui-Gon could very well be the key to the survival of the Empyrean way of life.

 

Aurora confided in Saphira. The sisters talked at length about the future and potential that Liam had. After a long agonizing debate Aurora decided that Qui-Gon's son deserved to be considered for training. She would call a confidential meeting with Yoda alone. She wanted Liam's identity to remain safely anonymous.

 

Aurora decided to take Liam throughout Empyrea. She spent several months teaching him about the culture and heritage that he now shared. Liam was very young but extremely intuitive. He knew his mother was preparing him for something that would change his life. He could see the sadness in her eyes even though she was even more affectionate and intensely protective. She showed him the underground caverns and the chamber that she shared with his father. He knew his father died but Aurora had not told him the extent of the circumstances and why they had to hide their love.

 

upsy

 

With a heavy heart Aurora told Liam that she felt he should be trained as a Jedi and follow in his father's footsteps. Liam was very brave but his little heart hurt at the thought of being separated from his mother and the only life he had ever known.The adventure and challenge of living his life the way his father did was a great honor and he knew his mother considered it a major sacrifice. The only one who knew about Liam's paternity was Yoda and it delighted him to see how talented and intense Liam was. Yoda promised Aurora that he would be considered an integral part of the Jedi community.
Liam was placed in Yoda's younglings class to learn elementary weapon defense when Obi Wan entered the class. All the class stood at attention and greeted Master Kenobi. Obi Wan needed Yoda's help. Yoda asked Liam to close the shades while they looked at the map reader. Master Kenobi was looking for a planet that did not seem to be in the map reader. Quickly Liam felt that if it existed it had to have been erased. When Yoda asked them for their thoughts Liam responded "Someone must have erased it from the archive memory". Yoda told Obi Wan "The padawan is right" Yoda and Obi Wan continued their conversation. "Truly wonderful is the mind of a child" Liam felt confident about his first day in the Jedi temple. He had seen Obi Wan before but he wasn't sure if he would remember him. He seemed very busy trying to find this missing planet. In the years to follow the Jedi had begun to fight the clone wars as Liam matured.

 

Liam grew up strong in the ways of the force. He was very much like his father. Physically he stood six foot four. He had intense green eyes like his mother and a strong muscular body like his father. He was very intense but reserved. He had to know someone was safe before he opened up to them. Even then he watched for signs that said they showed a side that was not genuine. He knew that dark times were coming and that the Jedi was not prepared for the onslaught. He wished he could warn them but because of his youth they would not consider his insight valuable.

 

Liam was placed against a fierce young Jedi in advance light saber techniques. The agressive negotiations went on for extended periods of time. Anndebra preferred to be called Deb. Liam towered over her but she matched every blow with the same intensity even thou she had to work twice as hard. They had grown up in the Jedi community together and were neck and neck for every known accolade. They were respectful rivals. He knew it took more out of her to keep up with the training. They were both ahead of every other padawans in their age group. Liam was extremely reserved but Deb was always the life of the party and could keep a room full of people enthralled with her dramatic storytelling. However,she was unusually shy around Liam. For years they had intense education and although they had seperate mentors they had spent most of their lives around eachother. Deb could tell when Liam was upset even if others did not notice. He communicated nonverbally and she had become accustomed to his unspoken language. It was how she managed to rival him in combat because she could assess what he would do before he did it.

 

Once again Liam and Deb faced off in agressive negotiations. Deb stood emotionless waiting for Liam's first move. Her hazel eyes studied Liam's muscular body. He was very patient and unless she spent time with him she would not know what to expect. His green eyes flashed briefly before he struck, she caught it and backed up realizing she was too close to him. They fought as if in a chess game. Deb used the force to remove her cloak. She had a tight fitting black top and the familiar jedi brown pants and boots. Watching them was like watching a choreographed dance. They respected each other but were fiercely competitive. She sliced thru his shirt revealing bare chest but only wounding slightly. She wasn't trying to kill him. This was a contest not a life and death struggle. Liam grinned slightly at her advance. She always amazed him. His other opponents were never in her league. She had a way of observing him that made him uncomfortable. Her eyes could make him squirm. She was stunning with long Auburn hair and a graceful body. The battle between them got more and more intense. Several times before they stale mated. This time was different Deb was determined and Liam was distracted by her beauty. Deb managed to force Liam's lightsaber from him and before he knew it she rolled on top pinning him and winning. They were both out of breath and he realized they had never been this close to each other. The brief moment was disconcerting. They both felt something electric go thru them. When Deb realized how long she embraced him she moved away. The others in the room applauded Deb's win. Liam bowed before her and met her eyes with a gentle smile. She had never seen this expression from him and she smiled back and looked away.

 

I love how you linked little Liam into AOTC, very nice touch
But I guess he's grown up a lot now Call this a wild stab in the dark, but I think Deb likes him.

 

Thanks Yoda really asks Liam to close the shades so I thought it would be perfect. I have a lot to flesh out but this has a lot of potential.

 

Deb returned to her quarters.She couldn't help but smile. It was the first time she had truly beaten Liam. She was glad she didn't feel any animosity from him. In fact his reaction was puzzling. His handsome face did not give away emotion but something in his eyes touched her heart. She shook away the thought. I am a jedi such things should not concern me. The rest of the week was uneventful except for the reports of the clone wars.

Aurora held a secret meeting with the Bothan spies. They rarely did this because of the danger but Aurora knew that the senate was not seeing the big picture. The clone armies had infiltrated every area and althou the premise was to protect the galaxy Aurora knew that if the Sith were around they could exploit the situation. The bothans explained how many systems had been engaged and that the clone armies dwarfed the number of jedi. They told her how well Liam was doing. She was very proud of her son and knew that Qui Gon would be too. She was elated to know that Liam was concrete evidence of Qui Gon's love. He was always in her thoughts and knowing that he loved her gave need strength and fortitude.
Liam sat alone on a balcony over looking Coruscant. He missed his mother and Empyrea. He thought of Max and wondered if he was eating the garden flowers next to his father's statue. He had spent time in the archives reading about his father. It made him feel closer to him. He remembered the dreams that he had about him and wished he had been able to know him in person. Empyrea seemed so far away. He missed the planet's beauty. It was very special everything was so vivid. The purple soil especially in the underground caverns was unique. Nothing on Coruscant could rival it. The only thing that reminded him of the loveliness was Deb. She had a depth to her. She was not spoiled or conceited. She worked relentless to increase her skills. She had a sweetness and her generosity was unmatched. All of a sudden Liam realized how far he had let his thoughts go and he scolded himself. "If she knew I was thinking this she would knock upside the head" he laughed out loud.

 

Kit Fisto had been assigned Liam. But sometimes it seemed like Liam was the mentor because Kit had so much fun and Liam was very pensive. Once in a while Liam would pull a practical joke but it always got blamed on Kit. That was a quality that Liam kept secret. He had a sweet sense of humor. Deb had seen this side to him but only by accident. She was putting up some weapons that the younglings had left out and she observed Liam scolding a padawan for wearing the wrong shoes. He made the padawan think that Yoda was upset about it. Liam was always so serious that the poor padawan got all upset and immediately changed. Deb chided "Did you see his little face? He believed you." Liam grinned in smug satisfaction. His attractive eyes sparkled.

 

hey hey1!

guess who's here!!

catching up and so far i *LIKE* it!

 

AnneDebra's mentor was killed in a segment of the clone wars. With a heavy heart Yoda doubled Kit with both Liam and Deb. Deb's grief was deep but she knew that she had to focus her energy on completing her training. She was excited to be with Kit and Liam but being so close to him was disconcerting. His presence made her nervous. She wasn't sure why. She somehow wanted him to be proud of her. The thought didn't make sense but that was the reality. Kit, Liam, and Deb prepared for their new assignment. Deb was the best at research so she spent long hours in the archives refreshing her memory of the culture and known war tactics of the systems involved in the conflict. Kit prepared for the diplomatic process and Liam trained to increase his physical abilities. He felt this need to protect Deb and he didn't want to be caught off guard. He knew she could take care of herself but he saw himself as her protector even if she didn't ask for his help. He knew that since she was grieving she would be weaker than she realized. Liam was sparring another padawan when Deb walked in. She watched as Liam intensely beat his opponent down. The outline of his muscles were visible through his shirt. She found herself tracing his form with her eyes. He was always a formible competitor in aggressive negotiations. Watching him now made her glad she wasn't going up against him.She fixed her gaze on his handsome face. He had a cleft in his chin. His movements were so fluid it was like watching smoke. Liam arose triumphant. It was not a surprise to anyone. He was sweating so he grabbed a towel and wiped off his face before walking over to Deb. "You didn't give Reah much of a chance did you?" she smiled teasing him. He got an embarrassed grin looked down and said in a low voice "Do you want to spar?" She looked gently into his eyes and said "We have more pressing matters. Do you want to go over the maps?" He said "Why don't we do it over dinner so I can clean up." He replied. She was a little surprised by the suggestion but welcomed it. Deb returned to her quarters and prepared for dinner. She decided to spend a little more time on her appearance. She let her hair down and curled it. She used perfume then stopped herself. "I am acting silly we are just going to prepare for our new assignment... over dinner." A little frustrated she rifled thru her clothes trying to find something attractive among the basic uniform.

 

Hey everybody!! I missed you!!! After this terrible year I need some fun!!!

 

Liam found a table outside on the balcony away from most everyone else. We need a little privacy he said to himself. Deb walked in after and finally matched eyes with Liam who motioned her over. As she walked toward him he felt a little stunned. He had never seen her with her hair down and curled around her face. She smiled at him feeling a little silly. She took a deep breath as she sat down. He could make her feel unsettled without trying. He had ordered an exquisite meal. Deb wondered how he was able to do that without raising eyebrows. She smiled to herself as he placed the meat and seafood in front of her. She hoped Kit wouldn't come because he would definitely tease them. Liam was always serious and pensive but tonight she could tell he seemed jovial. It made her feel honored that he would allow her to see this side of him.The Coruscant sky was full of beautiful clouds and the evening had a serene quality to it. The conversation was light during the meal. Liam told Deb about Empyrea and his beautiful mother. He seemed sad when he talked about her. "I can tell she loves you very much." she said. Deb's own childhood was not good. Her planet was in the throws of civil war and her parents had major problems. She was not wanted by them because she was a girl but Yoda had been on the planet and he realized this young girl was strong in the force. Her potential was unlimited even though her family could not see it. She had suffered much more than someone her age should. She had used the pain to focus her energy and now she was well respected and admired by the jedi. She did keep this information away from Liam because he was obviously well loved by his family and she couldn't help but feel envious. There was a sweet silence between them. Liam stole glances at her because he did not want to stare but he wished he could. Both of them were dancing around the line of being inappropriate jedi behavior but it seemed so natural that they decided to ignore the obvious warning signs. Deb smelled really good so Liam leaned forward a little.He wanted to get a little closer. She had a portable map reader and she was explaining possible routes they may take once on the planets surface. They had to be very careful the politics were delicate and innocent people could easily be hurt. She spent several hours in a detailed description of their options even though it wasn't necessary to be that descriptive. She enjoyed being with him and she wanted to make their time together legitimate. She didn't want to spar him. This seemed like a better use of their energy. Liam was amused that she seemed a little nervous the closer he sat to her. It was wierd to sense this type of fear on her. He put his arm on the chair behind her and leaned in to look at the map. His face was inches from hers and he could feel her breath on the side of his face. He expected her to move away but she sat silently in thought.

 

Hi C3SoloP0, nice to see someone else here

Also good to see the return of the joker - Kit Fisto! Gotta wonder if Liam enjoys combat a little too much though...could this be a problem to come?

 

Hi DamonD

You're not alone here indeed!

i like to follow Miss deb's work


keep it up girl!

 

"Well I need to get some rest." she said softly. He looked in her face and his expression changed. He seemed slightly disappointed. He didn't want her to leave it was the first time they had spent time together alone. She was starting to feel guilty. She knew she should not be thinking of him in this way. It was against all of her training. "Goodnight Liam" she said as she got up. "Goodnight Deb" he said as he locked eyes with hers. She walked away a little flushed. She reached her quarters and felt a little sad. Her mentor meant a lot to her and it was awful not to have her presence to lean on.

 

Liam couldn't sleep he felt uneasy. There seemed to be a sense of dread coming over him. He had never seen Kit Fisto this serious. Kit hadn't smiled all day and it was very strange to watch him pace. His humor always kept him strong. Liam got up and walked out on the balcony. The coruscant sky was beautiful in the moonlight. He decided to drink some empyrean confection tea. It always calmed him and reminded him of home. He smiled as he thought about Max eating his mother's flowers. He missed his mother's voice. She was such a strong person. He wished she could see him now. This mission seemed so routine. He wondered why he had no peace about it. He was unafraid of combat but he had the feeling a wind of tremendous change was coming and it was not good. He looked around at what had become his life. He thrived during his training and he loved facing new challenges. The Jedi way of life suited him except when he thought of Anne Deb. She had an infectious laugh. You couldn't help but watch her face when she explained something. He felt so content when she was around and when she wasn't he missed her. These feelings definitely were not Jedi and yet they seemed right.

 

Liam got a few hours of sleep before he had to leave. He was surprised to see that Kit had already packed everything into their space craft. They were undercover so they could not take individual spacecrafts. They were assigned a Corellian ship that was considered fast. Anne Deb was very quiet during the flight. She wanted to conserve her strength and focus on the task at hand. She did not want to be distracted by daydreams. It was not an easy task with Liam sitting so close to her and Kit unusually pensive.Kit was very stern as they landed. Under no circumstances are you to go off on your own he warned as he looked both in the eye. This is going to be very dangerous.

 

Liam felt a shudder go thru him when he saw the concern on Kit's face. He knew Kit wasn't disclosing everything he knew. The clone wars seemed to be going in the Republic's favor but there had been a lot of civilian casualties lately and the Jedi could not be considered the dominant force as their numbers were diminishing. Thankfully the conflict had stayed away from Empyrea. Liam was glad he did not have to worry about his home planet. It was too small a system to be considered a threat. They spent the first day with the Clone forces assigned to them. Kit was very careful not to broadcast their communications.
