Heart of Fire (comic)

After the events of Star Wars: Republic: The Hunt for Aurra Sing, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos recovers in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. While in the Meditation Garden Master Vos is interrupted by a young female Twi'lek Padawan. Quinlan recognizes the girl as Xiaan Amersu, one whose Master died at the hands of Aurra Sing. Xiaan asks about Aayla Secura and offers Quinlan a shiny stone called the 'Heart of Fire'. This stone was once his, but he gave it to Aayla, and she passed it to Xiaan.

Heart of Fire is reprinted in Star Wars Omnibus: Menace Revealed, though it is stated to take place in approximately 31 BBY. It is therefore placed before The Hunt for Aurra Sing story arc in the Omnibus (itself dated approximately 30 BBY), despite occurring after events in that arc's first issue.
