The force was searching. The appointed time was drawing near. The chosen one was soon to be created. The force is everywhere and always changing.
Obi-Wan was once again roaming the temple tunnel system. His duties were done and his master was not expecting him for some time. Meditation was not one of Obi-Wan's strong suits but today he made a resolution. He would meditate and he would go deeper into the force than ever before. Usually Obi-Wan would have a Masters supervision when first delving deeper into the force, but that was unneeded he was old enough to commune with the force alone and unhindered.
Obi-Wan found an unused section of tunnel. He sat down and a plume of dust rose. Make that a very unused section of tunnel. Closing his eyes he reached into the force. At first it proved elusive but soon he was embraced as always by the force. Slowly Obi-Wan started reciting all he had learned, his first lessons in the crèche, continuing into initiate-hood, and finally all he had learned since becoming Qui-Gon's Padawan. Every recitation brought him deeper into the force, deeper that he had ever been, even with a masters help. Soon he was not sure he could get out unless the force helped him, but he didn't care about that right now. To be fully in the force's embrace was wonderful; every beautiful thing imaginable was before him if he wished. He was one with the force. Time had no meaning he was there a moment a lifetime, he could see the future the past the now around him, he could be anywhere or everywhere with a thought.
Obi-Wan - the force…
The force – Obi-Wan…
It was getting harder to tell the difference.
Suddenly, the force reached toward Obi-Wan instead of him reaching for it. A question came to him. *Will you serve me?* 'Of Course!' Obi-Wan thought back. Qui-Gon's lessons on the living force, and following the will of the force over the will of the council, coming through strongly. The force felt pleased at his answer.
The force filled him with such light he glowed. Obi-Wan felt an odd change come over him with the force's embrace. He heard the words of Jedi throughout time echoing "Chosen…"
The force slowly left Obi-Wan leaving a command as it went *Sleep young one.*
