"If you would be so kind as to come with me to the hangers, we can determine what condition he is in there, and finish the rest of this deal there. " Jaslin picked up a datapad that could link her to the Council's accounts, and said goodbye to the protocol droid.
With the datapad in hand, she headed into the turbolift, and once the bounty hunter droid followed her, she activated the button that would take them to the hanger level...((Omi meet you in the hangers? Don't stress Nero, RL always takes precedence )) The boy was glad that the Master had not seemed upset his rushed entrance, and took a few seconds to further calm himself.
When he had brought his breathing under control, the ten year old blonde boy allowed himself to speak, trying his best to keep his voice under control. "Master Esoro, how does a Jedi know whether a bad dream is just a bad dream, or something else?"Images of what he had seen flashed before his eyes, and Wes had to concentrate on not allowing himself to be distracted by it...

Jaden hesitated a moment. He considered deferring to another Master who had more experience with vision than he had. He abandoned the idea quickly. He knew the answer, whether it came from personal experience or not, and he knew that he could guide the learner through this.
"The Force has been known to grant vision in a Jedi's sleep. However, it's quite rare." He allowed some skepticism to enter his tone. He didn't have enough information to judge what this dream was yet, but he didn't want Wes getting overexcited about it, as he knew some learners would. Something told him this precaution might not be needed in this case. "But you never know the source. You never know that the Force has sent you this, instead of it being a simple dream." There were, of course, ways to guess.
"Tell me more of this dream."

Wes walked over to the viewport that looked over the Coruscant sky, and closed his eyes, to help him with recalling the events of what he had seen.
"It started different to any of my dreams. Normally, I find myself smack in the middle of them. But this one started right at the beginning."
His voice grew quieter and more steady as he spoke.
"I saw someone, in a dark robe. But what was odd about the robe was that it was not made of material, like the ones we wear, Master. The robe was made entirely of darkness, of shadow."
Wes swallowed,
"In this dream the thing in the darkness... It had this aura of hate and suffering. I don't know how I knew it, but time passed, and the shadow completely consumed the man and began to engulf him completely. It seemed as if the darkness became the man, eradicating him entirely."
Pausing for a moment Wes felt a shudder run down his spine as he remembered what he saw next.
"The thing grew, Master. It became so big that it stood outside of the galaxy. I saw the galaxy spinning around... With this thing next to it, watching it. Suddenly, it burst into flame. Well, perhaps not burst, but rather became wreathed in flame as if the fire was fuelling the thing. And then... And then..."
Wes found that he could not go on, that something had caught in his throat and he struggled to speak more...

Jaden wasn't sure how to feel about the dream as the boy explained it. It was vague, symbolic. It had no real detail from which to predict anything with any confidence. But Jaden wondered if that wasn't for the best. The choice to act or not to act based on dreams and visions had gotten the better of even the great Jedi Masters in history. Despite his misgivings toward the dream, he was somehow glad that Wes didn't need to face that choice.... yet.
Jaden said nothing. Wes knew that he needed to finish his explanation, and so Jaden didn't feel that he needed to speak that fact. He simply waited until Wes was ready to continue.

"Master, this thing, this demon, it ate the galaxy. As it began to consume it, it grew in both size and power. The whole time I could feel its anger radiating from it, and it was terrifying."
Wes sighed, clearly distraught by what he had seen.
"There was more Master, but it was hazy. I thought I saw a man, someone who could stop this thing, but I do not really know who he was..."

Battlemaster Layia D'Hara had practically sprinted from the Room of a Thousand Fountains to the Council chambers. It could have been that meeting a long dead Jedi had shaken her nerves, or her haste could be due to her own curiousity as to the contents of the strange holocron. With a flash of purple hair and blue robes she slid through the barely open doors and stopped in front of the welcome droid.
"I must speak with the Council. It is a matter of grave importance." Layia tapped her foot with a subtle impatience, hating the beaurocracy of dealing with the infernal droid. If she had her way, which she thankfully did not, the droid would have been scrapped or reassigned. Tilting her head to the side she brushed her hair behind her ear, her hand coming to rest at the base of her neck.
Things were different. More and more she was discovering just how different it had become. The attack on the Coruscant Academy was just one example of events that just felt wrong. If this holocron held what Master L'eonheart had claimed, well, things were about to get very interesting around the temple.

Raziel stepped out of the lift, taking a quick look to check things out, he spotted what must be the doors to the council chamber, with a woman standing there talking to a droid, he turned and faced his guide "I'll let you lead I think after all your more up to date with how everything works"

Jedi Master Kona Strass had not been a member of the Jedi Council for very long, and yet it seemed things were heating up with the recent bombings in the galaxy from unknown terrorists. She had to put her diplomatic background into play at this stage. Master Jaslin was busy in the Medical labs and other Masters were off busy trying to quell various conflicts around the galaxy.
She arrived via the turbolift and went to the desk the protocol droid was working at. The protocol droid bowed to her and allowed her to download the recent events into a datapad while it went over to water a pot of flowers growing near one side of the majestic carved doors that sealed the Council Room.

As Layia reached the point of sending the protocal droid to the scrap heap she noticed Master Kona step out of the turbolift. Bowing in greeting the Jedi Battlemaster had an excited look on her face.
"Master, I have an urgent matter we must discuss!" Layia's voice was regal with the level of beaurocracy she was forcing into her speech.

Master Kona looked over at Layia, forcing herself to maintain calm features. It generally helped calm people down if you appeared calm. "Very well, Layia. Just breathe. We can discuss this in private."
She hit the codes to the Council chamber and entered and took one of the seats in the circular room. "Please, sit down if you like and tell me." The doors closed behind them to ensure the conversation was private.

Layia took her seat, smiling in thanks to Kona. Pulling the strange holocron out of her beltpouch she contimplated how to start.
"I was visiting the Room of a Thousand Fountains when I came across something strange." Layia began her story softly, opening her palm so the holocron could levitate to the center of the room. "That's when he showed up. I was confronted by the force ghost of Jedi Master Higomi L'eonheart."
Layia paused, feeling the weight of such a visitation herself as she recalled it. "He told me the holocon was his... that we should open it." With a deep breath Layia's eyes locked on Kona's. "He said we should heed what it contains. I wasn't sure what to do so I came here as fast as I could!"

Kona furrowed her brows. Higomi lived centuries ago... it was generally odd for a force ghost or aura to visit someone in the living realm. They generally didn't have a reason to visit the living realm so she doubted it would be over a trivial issue. This had to be something important if it were true.
She looked at the eager young woman and then at the levitating holocron in the centre of the room. She didn't sense any dark energies emnating from the object, so she doubted it would hold dark energy. If ever there was an object full of dark force energy, Jedi would almost always be able to sense it. "It doesn't appear to be of dark orgin." She murmered aloud to no one in particular.
"I would wait till the rest of the council is here, but they are all on various planets. I will inform them if we find anything here." She waved her hand, trying to get the force to activate it along any of the sides.

Starburner seemingly appeared from the shadows.
"You would be wise to open it...Master Jedi"
He spoke confidently, but he himself did not know the contents. However, with the recent random and mysterious attacks, Starburner recognized these events were taking place at a shocking similarity that the Shaman he met on Tattooine had warned him of.

Layia watched as Kona prodded the holocron, seeing a ahimmer begin to form above it. The faded image of Higomi formed above the holocron, smiling sadly. He appeared in the holocron as he had appeared after becoming Darth Renatus. His blind eyes glowed, never truly looking at anything directly. His skin was deathly pale and held almost animalistic qualities. Quietly at first he began to speak.
"If you are activating this then my plans have cone to fruition and I am dead." His eyes were sad, something that was clear to anyone watching. "I never planned this, not in the beginning. Master Rena's death was an accident... she forced my hand. Now I look in the mirror and see only Darth Renatus. Soon ill do the same, force the hand of my brother, Grand Master Samual, to kill me. The world is chaos, there is no peace despite the Jedi Order. I have become an enemy to the galaxy, too big for any one faction to handle. Through war I have united a torn people against a common monster... me. I know I can't live in this world, not as I am now.. So now I go to my death, ready and willing."
The holocron's image faded away, coming back as how he now appeared as a ghost, his wcars gone and his eyes grey and normal once more. "There isn't much time, by now the explosions will have rocked many of the galactic core. I was a fool, a fool seeking peace through war. Now I find that I was looking towards the wrong enemy. The Sith and Jedi orders cannoy stay as they are. They say only a Sith deals in absolutes, yet there you stand.. the jedi themselves are an absolute. I cannot explain what is happening, that is for others to do. Know this, if the Order is to survive you must learn to accept those parts of you that you fear, that you ignore. There is no light, no dark... Exist as you were meant to and the Order will live... if you don't, the galaxy will fall to shadow.. and the shadows are already moving."
With that final statement the holocron deactivated, leaving the young Jedi Battlemaster completely dumbfounded and in awe of what she had witnessed.

The Jedi Knight escorting Raziel stepped out of the turbolift beside the man and looked over at the Council rooms. There were Masters in session, he could feel the presences in the room in front of them. The poor harassed looking protocol droid indicated the same.
"This is the entrance to the Jedi Council room. Once Master Kona finishes her business I am certain she would be willing to see you."
