PATHS OF DESTINY
SUMMARY: Qui-gon survived, but his request for Anakin's training was been refused. Deciding to train Anakin anyway, he leaves...
Three years later Qui-gon dies and Anakin returns.
PROLOGUE.
"Confer on Obi-wan, the level of Jedi Knight the Coucil does. But agree on you taking this boy as your Padawan learner, I do not."
Qui-Gonsighed softly, "he is the Chosen One. I believe in him." He stared at Yoda, trying desperately to make himself understood.
Yoda shook his head, "The Chosen One the boy may be; nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training."
"Master Yoda, I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council if I must." he didn't want it to come to that, but he would do anything to make sure Anakin got the training he needed.
Yoda stared at him sternly, "Agree, the council does not. A Jedi young Skywalker will never be."
Closing his eyes Qui-gon nodded, "then I will leave and take Anakin with me." He looked into yoda's face and shook his head, "I will train him myself."

Obi-wan stood waiting outside the council chambers, as Qui-gon stepped out he shook his head. "Don't do this Master," he had heard every word that had been spoken.
Qui-gon shook his head sadly, "I must Obi-wan." He sighed and shrugged, "he is the Chosen One, he must be trained."
"And what if he sisn't Master? What if you are wrong?" Reaching out Obi-wan grasped his arm, "Don't do this."
Sighing Qui-gon gently pulled out of his former Padawan's grasp, "I believe in him." He smiled and started to turn away, "goodbye Obi-wan."
