Chapter 12~ One more test
The next day Qui-Gon woke up and went to Xanatos' room. He knocked softly.
"Xanatos?"
Getting no answer, he opened the door. He was only slightly surprised when he found his padawan's bed empty.
Reaching out with the force Qui-Gon found out that his padawan was in the council room.

"Sending you and your master on a mission, we are."
"Then why are you just speaking to me?"
"We need you to know that this mission will test you to the limits of your bond with your master as well as your jedi honor and responsibility."
"And, you don't think I can handle it. You want me to go on this mission so I WILL fail. That's what you really want isn't it? You want to see me fail!"
After his outburst Xanatos looked at the stunned faces of the masters sitting in front of him.
"Xanatos, we never want to see a padawan fail. We need all the jedi we can possibly get, but they need to be tested. They have all been tested. Even your master, and granted, most of them have passed."
Yoda, never taking his eyes off the padawan in front of him, didn't say a word.
As if on cue, Qui-Gon burst into the room.
"Ahh, Master Jinn, how nice of you to join us." Mace said as Qui-Gon bowed.
"What ever my padawan has done, I assure you tha.."
"Qui-Gon, your apprentice...."
"I can never do anything right can I master?"
"Xanatos I was just thinking."
"Yeah? Well you thought wrong."
This is exactly what the council was talking about. The master/padawan bond is weakening every day between the two. Xanatos would get one more test.
~TBC~
Sorry it's so short more will be up this Saturday. Friday, maybe, because the new Ewan McGregor movie 'Down with love' is coming out Friday and I need to go see it.
