The send-off from Naboo was very gloomy , I saw how they loaded the sleeping form of Master in the large ship the Council members had brought , then received the best wishes from the pilots , the dramatic farewell from the handmaidens and the Queen that ended in a big group hug somehow and a forced promise to write them or suffer galactic wide humiliation and lastly but not least important the anticlimactic last words with Senator Palpatine .

I thank the force even now for not having to go back to Coruscant with the serpent , as I now officially call Palpatine in my mind. And although it was awkward and difficult to spend nearly 3 days of space travel with two of the most revered Jedi masters in the order and a hyperactive and sulking child, I survived.

After teaching Anakin light meditation I am confident that my knighthood will be a piece of cake compared to this. I am also confident that it will be long before I take a padawan if the Force allows me.


We arrived at the Temple late for lunch, Bant and Garen ,who were the only ones on planet ,and many of the councilors were in the platform waiting to greet us . Master's hoverstrecher was leading the procession , followed by master Yoda and master Windu and the honor of closing the group was bestow upon little Ani and me .

Bant and Garen may not have been the most enthusiastic but were in fact the loudest. My autoproclamed mon calamari little sister ran to hug me , a hug that Garen the decided to join.

The realization that these were new and intimidating people for Anakin came when the pressure on my hand, the one he was holding , increased. Bant being the perceptive healer in training she was noticed the stirring in the Force and began speaking:

-'So who is the Kid Obi? Another one of Qui Gon's findings? '-Said Bant with a tinge of humor .

-'This is Anakin Skywalker , a new initiate '- I replied pushing Ani a bit forward now that he was smiling shily .

Of course Garen being Garen had to make a turn for the worse in the conversation.

-'Isn't he like to old Obi, he must be at least seven years old , right?'-

Anaking got ahead of me in answering him , screaming with his arms crossed

-'I AM NINE YEARS OLD , YOU ARE THE ONE TOO OLD TO STILL BE A PADAWAN !'-

That left Garen baffled and Bant laughing at him while high fiving Anakin who after this had warmed a bit out to her. I am glad. I wouldn't want Ani to be surrounded by scary and imposing strangers.

As if hearing my thoughts master Yoda who had hobbled towards us unnoticed announced:

-'Now discuss the Sith matters the Council has to . But your report you must give still .Hmmm. A good Idea to show our home to young Skywalker would be while for our call you wait .'-

With that said he turned and went back to the group of masters.

Our little group the proceeded to give Ani that tour, even if I suspected the ancient master was doing this so I wouldn't interfere with Qui Gon's transportation to the healers.


After nearly three hours of wandering, we found ourselves in the Room Of The Thousand Fountains, seated in the grass. And even if after a week in Naboo water and grass were not a novelty anymore for the little desert brat he was still mesmerized by them.

Garen was in the midst of explaining the last piloting mission turned space battle he was in, a subject that finally appealed to Ani and had allowed Garen to gain his trust a bit, when my com chimed signaling that our time was up and I had to go to the Council.

My friends agreed to accompany us to the doors and stay with Anakin while I gave my report.

As I entered the chambers I could feel something out of place, but master Windu spoke before I could figure what it was though .

-' Kenobi I've already retold your mission to the rest of the councilors as you did on Naboo , if you want to add anything now is the time'-

-'No masters I believe I already told everything I know to master Yoda and Master Windu '- Was my weak reply.

-'Now to more concerning matters'-Continued master Windu with an intense voice-'We've received concerning news from the healers regarding your master's condition. According to them the wound the Sith inflicted is almost healed and there should be no reason for him to still be unconscious, nevertheless they've been unable to wake him up. Master Vokara Che has the theory that due to the combination of the lingering dark force of the Sith and the deep healing trance you helped Qui Gon achieve he may have reached a very deep part of the force he must break out on his own.'-

I was to surprised to even answer and it was only due to master Yoda's voice that I got out of that shocked state. And only the when I noticed grandmaster Dooku step out of the shadows.

-'Sense I can master Qui Gon wake soon will not. Knighted you must be , young Obi Wan. Kneel'-

As I kneeled the masters lit out their light sabers and recited

–'We are all Jedi. The Force speaks through us. Through our actions, the Force proclaims itself and what is real. Today we are here to acknowledge what the Force has proclaimed.-'

-'Obi Wan Kenobi , by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee Jedi, Knight of the Republic'-

Master Yoda hobbled closer and cut my braid as I was proclaimed knight.

-'Knight Kenobi rise, we still have matters that need attention'- Boomed master Windu.

-'We have spoken about young Skywalker, and we have reached an agreement . Because of his lack of knowledge about the force, the order and other common subjects we deem necessary a master takes him as his padawan. Seeing your master is unable to do so now , we will give him two months to be in the crèche , if he is not chosen before those two months he will be sent to one of the corps '- Said master Plo with gentle voice.

-'Now that that is settled we have a mission for both of you '-continued the Korun master finally acknowledging master Dooku -' You both will travel to the Sith's native planet Dathomir to see if you can gain any clue whether he was the master or the apprentice and to try and discover the identity of the other remaining Sith'-

-'You will leave in two day , now Knight Kenobi , enjoy your knighting and cut that tail off as soon as possible '- dismissed me master Yaddle merrily.

I left while they began telling my grandmaster all about his former padawan and my adventures , no doubt.


When I came out and saw my friends they seemed as stunned as I was moments before the Council.

Not seconds later I was engulfed in Garen's arms , lifting me from the floor while Bant and Anakin cheered and came to also hug me when I was finally returned to the floor.

We returned to my former rooms , which would do for this two days . And I told them everything that transpired . I noticed that as I was retelling the events Anakin seated himself nearer and nearer and became sadder and sadder.

Regarding the scene and guessing correctly it was better to leave us space Bant dragged Garen for preparations of my knighting party that would take place when the rest of our group was on planet.

When they were gone I spoke:

-'Anakin what do you think about staying here tonight ? '- I suggested tentatively

-'Can I ?'- The tiny blond asked in an insecure voice

-'I am sure there will be no problem , we can stay in my old room and perhaps tomorrow you could help me pack everything to be shipped to my new quarters . What do you think?'-

-'You are letting me into your old room , Wizard!'- he said cheering up

So after a diner actually cooked by me ,cutting that horrible tail and pack away my padawan braid, we went to bed. And as the nights before I was still incapable of breaking the night time tale ritual we had developed .Well two days and he will have to do without it , it's better to let the tiny child enjoy it while he can.
