Chapter 72: A Loth-Wolf Journey
(Three days later)
Y/N's P.O.V
It's been three days since we lost Kanan and we've been moving past it the best we can.
We all had to deal with the loss in our on way.
I got some help from Dume the Loth-wolf for that.
He gave me a piece of stone taken from the Jedi Temple here on Lothal.
I've gathered the other's as we need to figure this all out.
Hera: Okay, Y/N, you have our attention. What's all this about?
Y/N: This stone came from the Jedi Temple here on Lothal.
Hera: The Jedi Temple's far to the north, how did it get here?
Y/N: The Loth-wolves gave it to me. They think the Empire is doing something terrible there.
Zeb chuckles.
Zeb: Okay, wait. "They think?" Did they talk to you?
Y/N: Just the big white one. The white and black cubs can't talk.
Sabine: Well, I wish they told you what these symbols mean.
The stone has symbols with three hands on it in different positions.
Sabine looks at them closely.
Sabine: Hmm. Maybe I could make more sense of them if I saw the temple up close.
Y/N: I agree. We have to go. I don't the Empire putting their hands all over the Jedi Temple.
Jacen: I think we should go too. I know it's what dad would want us to do.
Hera nods.
Hera: So, let's stop them. For Kanan.
Y/N: For Kanan.
Sabine stands up.
Sabine: There's just one problem. As Hera said, the temple is far to the north and we don't have a ship. How are we gonna get there?
Jacen: She's right. How are we gonna get there when both the Ghost and Rogue Shadow are back on Yavin 4?
I think for a moment before getting an idea.
Y/N: I know how we can get there. Come on.
We leave the base and go over to the tall grass.
The black and white Loth-wolf cubs rush over.
I've given them names too.
The white one is Riley and the black one is Shadow.
I kneel down and pet them.
Y/N: Hey, guys. Good to see you.
I then stand and use the force to call on the Loth-wolves.
A moment later we hear howling and the Loth-wolves show up.
Dume comes over to me.
Y/N: We're ready, can you take us?
Dume nods and allows me to climb on.
Jacen and Hera then get on one each.
Zeb: Are these wolves faster than speeders?
Sabine pets one.
Sabine: Well, they got us here in the first place. I guess they can get us to the Jedi Temple as well.
Zeb: I'm just, you know, more comfortable with speeders.
Sabine climbs onto the Loth-wolf as two start sniffing Zeb.
Zeb: Oh, hello. My name is Zeb.
Y/N: Zeb, those ones don't talk.
BD-2: (Beeps.)
Zeb: How do you know? He talks, uh, with his eyes.
Zeb then climbs on a Loth-wolf as it picks up Chopper in it's mouth.
The Loth-wolves step forward.
Y/N: Everyone ready?
They all nod.
I lean forward.
Y/N: Here we go.
Dume's ears perk up.
All of them quickly jump into the tall grass and run through it.
I look down to see Riley and Shadow running alongside Dume.
I then look back to the others.
Y/N: Hold on tight.
I give Dume the signal and the Loth-wolves start running faster.
They'll get us to the temple in no time.
(One hour later)
We're now on the outskirts of the Jedi Temple.
I stand with Dume as the other's come over.
Y/N: They say the temple isn't far from here, just a bit to the northwest. But we've gotta walk the rest of the way.
Hera: Y/N, how do they do that?
Y/N: I don't know.
Dume and the Loth-wolves leave.
Riley and Shadow decide to stay with us though.
Y/N: Kanan said they're deeply connected to the force.
Jacen: Like you?
I look to Jacen.
Y/N: Like us, Jacen.
He nods.
Zeb: Well, I'm just glad they're on our side.
Y/N: They're on Lothal's side.
Sabine: Is there a difference?
I sigh.
Y/N: Let's hope not. We should get moving.
We then start walking.
(Twenty minutes later)
The other's and I have made it to the Jedi Temple.
We kneel down on the outside of the perimeter.
Sabine: This isn't a military operation.
She looks through the binoculars.
Sabine: What are they searching for?
Y/N Let me take a look.
She hands the binoculars to me and I look through them.
Y/N: Wait, both of the doors are gone. And it looks like one of 'em has been cut right off the surface.
Sabine: Y/N, is this really the temple. It looks like solid rock.
Jacen: It's the temple. I can feel it.
Y/N: J's right. We're in the right place. It must've sealed itself off.
Hera: Any idea on what the Empire wants?
Y/N: No. And that's what worries me the most.
Sabine: Well, they've recovered alot more art work. Maybe iccsn figure it out if I get a closer look.
Y/N: Agreed. You and I will go in, Sabine. Hera, Jacen, Zeb, you keep watch.
BD-2: (Beeps?)
Y/N: You and Chopper will stay here too, buddy.
BD-2: (Beeps.)
Chopper: (Grunts.)
Y/N: It'll be fine, Chop. All we need is some disguises.
I need to find out what the Empire wants with this temple.
They've already destroyed most of my home, I can't let them destroy the temple too.
I owe that to Kanan and my mum.
