Chapter 2: The Choosing
"Master Nu." I said as I approached the aged Master. Aged she may be but ever powerful she was. Once a member of the High Council she is still one of the wisest Jedi we have in the Order.
"Ah, Initiate Oat. What Master's Journal do you wish to look currently?" She said with a light smile. Once a Jedi reaches the rank of padawan, a Journal is made of them. Who they are, who was their master, what styles they used, what planets they visited, what wars they served in, and what rank they achieved. I only sought the Master's Journals.
"Master Unduli, please." I said with a bow. I had already gotten through with most of the council at this point. The Council had given us Initiates a week od rest before the trials. I had spent the time reading on the more powerful Jedi's.
"You are aware that Master Unduli has her padawan picked already." She said with a wise look in her eye.
"I am. She will choose Barriss. As is tradition." She just tsked and walked off to collect the journal.
It was a game we played. She would ask me a question of the Master I chose. If I got it right, she tsked. If I didn't, she also tsked. Now that I think about, I am unsure if this is a game.
Getting back to Master Unduli. The Mirialans had always had a stronger connection to the force then most species in the galaxy. They were taught to respect it on their planet. It is even said some Mirial could hear nature speak to them, though only myths.
"The Journal, Initiate Oat." My inner thought was disrupted with a data log in my face.
"Thank you, Master Nu." I took it and walked off to one of the chairs.
Yoda. POV.
"Talk of the future padawans we shall, decide we they should be placed we will." The other High council members just nodded around.
"Perhaps this should wait until all members are present." Master Windu said gesturing to the empty seat of Master Kenobi.
"Wait, it cannot. Understand, Master Kenobi will." Windu just nodded.
"I would want Initiate Barriss Offee as my Padawan, as is the tradition of my people." The hologram of Master Unduli spoke, and the other council members just nodded with her with some mumbles of agreement.
"The council will accept your request, Master Unduli." Master Windu spoke, and she just bowed her head. Initiate Barriss shows great promise, she has a connection to the force that is superior to her current peers. Master Unduli will be a great teacher for her.
"Can we see the data records of Initiate En'Oat." Master Adi spoke with Master Plo Koon nodding along. I nodded and waved my hand, up came a display of charts of each Initiate. It was zoomed in on En'Oat. Showing videos of his training, what his placement was, and what he did during his free time.
"He visits the achieves?" Master Ki Adi Mundi asked a bit surprised.
"Yes. Even during lessons he is far more engaged then his peers." Plo Koon said after.
"We would have more Jedi if every initiate was like him." Master Tiin followed.
"Though his ability with the force and the lightsaber aren't something spectacular." Master Windu said.
"Ability can be taught." Master Ti said simply. With other members nodding along.
"Decide who the master will be, we will?" I asked and everyone looked around.
"I will take him as my padawan." Plo Koon said. Members looked around the room at each other.
"Your thoughts Master Adi." Windu spoke. She had found the youngling and she knew him best among the masters.
"I suggested the idea. Knight Allie agrees with me." Her cousin. When given time, both visit the young initiate to offer guidance.
"Any against?" Windu spoke and looked around the room. All the masters shook their heads. "Then it is decided. Master Plo Koon will take him as his padawan after the trials."
"A padawan, Skywalker will have." I spoke suddenly and Master Windu looked at me sharply.
"Is this wise Master Yoda."
"It is."
"To give him a padawan with his… reputation is questionable."
"It is."
"Perhaps Master Kenobi will be the better choice."
"It will not." Windu and I just stared at each other before he sighed.
"As you say Master." The other Masters just nodded.
"Decide on the padawan we will. Take them to him I shall."
