Aulë was genuinely amazed with the progress that his newest pupil Fëanor have made so far. Mahtan shared in the wonder but he was not as generous with compliments as his Master Aulë. One time, Aulë told Mahtan to take Fëanor as his padawan when the time comes. "He will play a big part in the future generations of the Jedi and the galaxy."
Aulë did not elaborate and Mahtan inwardly shrugged--Aulë had an enigmatic side to him that he rarely ever shows.
One morning, Fëanor woke up early and saw his beloved Master Aulë standing outside his window, smiling at him.
"Oh Master! Will we have more difficult lessons today? I can barely sleep last night!"
Aulë laughed at his enthusiasm. "We will be travelling today to the Galactic Senate."
Fëanor valiantly tried to hide his disappointment. "All right," he said flatly. He was so looking forward to the lessons.
Later, inside the enormous spacecraft, Fëanor could not help but stare in wonder. "Someday I'll have one of these for myself, then I can go visit all the stars. Especially the Star where all dead Fëa go to so I can visit my mother." He started to shiver, not being used to cold weather. Masters Aulë and Mahtan received an urgent message from the Jedi council so he was left alone.
Fëanor was too busy absorbing all the details of the magnificent spacecraft that he bumped into someone in the hallway.
"Hey, watch where you're going little boy." It was a girl with bright red hair.
Fëanor bristled slightly "I am not a little boy. I'm a new Padawan, but you must be an angel."
The girl, who was only a few years older than Fëanor, raised an eyebrow. "Hyperspace travel has clearly addled your brain, I am Istarnië, a handmaiden of the Queen Amidala." She noticed that he was shivering slightly. "You are shivering, didn't you prepare anything for travel?"
"No, I don't need to because we Jedi don't need cloaks. We're impervious." He was positively preening now.
Istarnië shrugged. "Whatever you say Mr. Impervious Jedi. Here, have my cloak you look like you need it." She handed the cloth to him and left, quite alarmed with the silly grin on his face.

Galactic Senate
Naboo is ruled by the young Queen Amidala of the Aulendur and the eldest daughter of Mahtan. She was considered very wise for her young age and is well-respected for this throughout the galaxy. She is guarded by life-like animaton decoys of her own making.
Now what was meant to be a short visit turned into a crisis. They found out that the evil Orc Trade Federation has taken over Naboo to force the young Queen to agree to their demands. Manwë, the current Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, had no immediate solution to the problem and even declared that they do not want to take any drastic action. "I'm sure it will all be better in the morning," Manwë said as he dismissed the other senators.
Amidala and the Jedi were frustrated with the lack of action so they decided to go to Naboo themselves to fight off the Orcs. Arriving in Naboo, Amidala rallied the peace-loving people of Naboo to fight against the evil Orc Federation.
Aulë and Mahtan chased the Head Orc to their mother ship in order to capture him and bring him to trial but unknown to them Fëanor followed them secretly. Onboard, they found out that the Orc Trade Federation was about to drop a large bomb in Naboo. Unfortunately, the Head Orc locked himself up inside the control chamber.
They were about to capture the Head Orc when they were met by the dangerous Sith Lord Darth Sauron.
"My former Teacher", he said to Aulë, "see how much I have exceeded you."
Aulë smiled serenely at his former apprentice and they engaged in a fierce light sabre duel where Sauron managed to parry with the two Jedi. In a climactic point, Sauron manages to push Mahtan off a ledge.
Aulë unsheathed his lightsaber. "Go ahead, Aulendil. Do your worst."
Darth Sauron hesitated for a few seconds, and proceeded to stab his former master who disappeared into thin air. "It's about time I lose these old duds," came Aulë's disembodiedvoice.
"No! You will not cheat me of victory!"
Mahtan emerged from the edge. "It is not over yet, filth." In a fantastic duel, Mahtan kills the Sith.
In another side of the battleship, Fëanor chanced upon the main controls of the artillery with the help of Telperion D2. He instinctively knew that they should destroy the device thereby completing the victory of the forces of Naboo.

Back in Naboo
The victory was celebrated with much merry-making in Naboo. Also, the Senator Palpatine replaced Manwë as the leader of the Galactic Senate. Many people believe that he will bring strength and direction to the stubborn legislators.
Fëanor grieved when he heard that his Master Aulë had left them but Mahtan informed him that Aulë had not really left as he is now one with the Force.
"But who will be my Master now?" Fëanor asked Mahtan.
Mahtan patted him on the shoulder. "You will be my Padawan, as requested by Master Aulë himself." Then Mahtan proceeded to give Fëanor a mini-lecture on Jedi theories, fighting skills, proper decorum and many other things.
Fëanor did not really listen much to what his new Master was saying as soon as he saw Istarnië. By this time, he could distinguish her from her decoys. She made a tiny wave at him and smiled. "You were awesome back there Fëany, I was told that you disabled the generator all by yourself. Too bad they had to reward you with an apprenticeship with my Father." She leaned down a little to plant a small kiss on his cheek.
Fëanor blushed. "Err..ah..oh.."
