CHAPTER 20

As soon as they crossed the threshold of the room, Madeline and Lance felt a lot of stares on them. Sitting in chairs around the room were the Jedi Masters themselves, several of whom didn't look quite like a human.


Jedi masters, including a small, old, green creature that leaned on a cane, looked at Madeline and Lance in deep silence with curiosity hidden beneath the seriousness.


Lance and Madeline swallowed their nerves, feeling their gazes on each other, burning holes in their bodies.


- This is so awkward. - Lance whispered as quietly as possible to his companion, who poked him with her elbow. Madeline took a deep breath and took a step forward.


- Hello Masters Jedi. Master Yoda. - she announced, bowing her head in a slight bow. Several masters reciprocated the bow.


- Who are you and why did you come to us? - one master asked, looking skeptically at the two friends. That master was Mace Windu.


- My name is Madeline Blossom, this is my companion Lance Richmond. We are messengers from High Princess (Y/N) Precious and High Prince Aaron - Son of Aurora.


Jedi looked at each other with interest in these titles. However, none of them knew who they were referring to.


- What do you come with? - Master Windu asked further.


- Your world has encountered a problem, hasn't it? - said Master Yoda.


Lance raised an eyebrow at Master Yoda, Madeline nodded. - Yes, sir. We need help from the Republic.


- The war against the Separatists affects everyone, not just you. You are not the only ones facing them. - another master said. Ki-Adi-Mundi.



Lance looked at Madeline. - War with who?


Madeline shook her head. - That's not the matter we come for. You see, we... are not from your world.


The masters exchanged puzzled and confused glances and began secretly whispering to each other. Master Yoda hit the floor twice with his staff to silence them.


- From another world, hm? - Yoda asked curiously. - Another dimension, you mean.


Madeline nodded. - Exactly. The Evil Necromancer who had been dead until now has been resurrected back into the world of the living. Nerath, that's her name, has resurrected an army of undead with her and launched a campaign of war on our world. Her goal is to curse and murder everything that lives, including humans. Not only does she want to destroy our world, but also all other worlds, she will not rest, until she has taken revenge on everyone.


- She wants to curse the souls of all people. - Lance added. 


The Jedi Masters looked at each other again amazed by this news.


- Curse the people? What do you mean? - The Jedi master asked. Master Luminara Unduli.


- She wants those she hasn't murdered to be transformed into.... monsters, literal monsters. She wants all worlds under her control.


- She wants to destroy life. Simply put, she wants the undead to rule the world on the surface. - Lance added.


- This is disturbing news is. Very bad. - Yoda said, shooking his head. 


- That's why we need your help. From you and from your people. - Madeline said and looked at Lance. - Lance! Give them the scroll!


- Sure, I almost forgot! I have it... - he reached into his bag and pulled out one scroll intended for Jedi. - Here... But who should I... give it?


Master Yoda looked at Master Windu. The man understood the message, got up from his chair and took the scroll from Lance and carefully broke the seal. He unrolled it and read it aloud. Agreement to enter into a war alliance, which requires a signature.


- What do you expect from us? - Master Mundi asked.


- Didn't you heard? We asked for... Ouch!!! - Lance was hit in the back of the head from Madeline.


- Our world is asking for help. The threat of destruction of all worlds, including yours, is very huge. Already Nerath's soldiers and allies are ravaging our world. It is only a matter of time before our world will fall and takes care of the others. She will find her way to you as well, if she gets the idea that your people might be useful to her, she will turn them against you and use them as her own weapons, destroy loyalty and all good values. She will get everyone, destroy treaties and overthrow the government.


Jedi now began whispering anew and Master Yoda looked ahead in wonder. He looked at Madeline, who was already trying desperately to convince them to cooperate.


- It is better to defeat evil at its source, quickly, so that we don't regret having moved too late. Not only are our lives at stake here, but millions, millions of other innocent lives are at stake as well. - Lance spoke up completely seriously this time.


- We can't... - said Mistress Shaak Ti. Lance and Madeline gasped worriedly. - Move there all of us. We also have the war with the Separatists on our hands, we can't leave our world unattended.


- Master Shaak Ti is right. Only a part of us can provide you with assistance. - Master Adi Gallia added.


- The Masters are absolutely right. Current affairs do not allow you to rashly act, do not think in compulsion, but reason is necessary. Your world will receive help from the Republic. - Master Yoda announced and again struck the floor twice with his cane.


- The alliance has been made, for the next war we must be ready. - Yoda ordered  to the other masters.


Madeline and Lance sighed with relief and felt a weight fall from their shoulders.


- Thank you, thank you very much!


Master Yoda nodded. - Now, you must leave. Convene a meeting, to discuss the matter, we must. The guards, the way to the rooms, will show you, there you will rest and for decisions you must wait.


- We understand, master. - Madeline nodded. She nodded to Lance and they both left the room.
