When Ryan Sebastian is tasked with taking on his own Padawan Apprentice, he doubts himself as a Jedi, or as a possible Master to a youngling. But when the Will of the Force directs you to your destiny, you don't shy away from it.

The Jedi Path

Chapter One

Jedi Grand Master Karto Musta looked at the Jedi Knights that stood before him and the rest of the Jedi Council. The Knights, whom ranged from Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, and Jedi Sentinel, and the various classes within their chosen path looked at the Council with confusion on their faces. "I'm sure you are wondering why you all have been brought before us?" Master Musta asked the Knights, whom all nodded in agreement. He smiled. "You all have been selected to take on you own Padawan Learner. You have been chosen due to your leadership skills, strength in the Force, lightsaber skills, and your moral values. I believe those taking part on the Jedi Youngling Lightsaber Tournament this year will be a great class for you all to choose from." he told the Knights.

Brock Jones, a Jedi Ace from the Jedi Guardian class raised his hand. "Master Musta. I don't think half these kids even know how to fly an aircraft. One crashed a simulator! Do you really think I can train one in a ship?"

Jedi Master Robert Sebastian cleared his throat. "Do you really wish to argue with the Will of the Force Brock? The Force has allowed us to pick you, and the Force will guide you to your own Padawan Learner." he said. He then noticed his son Ryan standing with the group of Jedi Knights. Master Sebastian smiled. Ryan was his youngest child of four, and was an excellent candidate for a Jedi Knight to take on a Padawan Learner.

"Sorry Master Sebastian." Brock said. Master Musta looked at the Knights.

"Remember, training the next generation does not require that they follow in YOUR footsteps, but in the footsteps of the Jedi." He said. The Knights nodded and left the Council room. Master Sebastian then stood up.

"Ryan, may I talk to you for a moment?" he asked. Ryan turned his head and walked with his father.

"Dad, do you think I'm ready to be a Jedi Master to a youngling?" Ryan asked his father. Master Sebastian looked at his son, who was a spitting image of himself if he were still a 24 year old.

"Out of your brother and two sisters, yes. You have patience, you're very wise, and your leadership skills and lightsaber skills are phenomenal. You have come a long way since a Jedi took you on as his apprentice."

Ryan smiled, remembering his old master Camure Altron, a Cerean Jedi Master, whom trained Ryan for ten years, before declaring him ready for the Jedi Trials at age 19.

"I think you will do well. If you hurry, Battlemaster Dirk should be starting lightsaber class with the Younglings." Master Sebastian told his son. Ryan nodded, and left the hallway they were at.
