CHAPTER SIX
Five years later Obi-Wan Kenobi stood in the court of King Veruna of Naboo. He accompanied his Master, the famous Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. The Master was very tall with long brown hair that had a small section pulled back and a short beard on his strong, wizened face. He held a respected stature on his strong shoulders as he stood before the throne of the king of Naboo. His apprentice, by his side, had grown into a very handsome 19 year-old. His hair was still cut short with the ponytail in the back, but he had started to grow a braid behind his right ear to show his apprenticeship.
"King Veruna, I have been sent by the Jedi Council to retrieve the two Jedi members in your court." Qui-Gon spoke steadily; ignoring Obi- Wan's excitement and impatience. He reflected back and remembered that Obi- Wan had told him that he had met Anja Theteve at the Jedi Temple a few years back and they were really good friends who hadn't seen each other in years.
"Ah yes, I did receive word from them. They have been waiting for your arrival." He paused and gave a look of gratitude. "I do want to thank the Jedi on behalf of the people of Naboo for letting these fine Jedi stay to settle the extensive famine conflict." The King motioned to a guard to retrieve them. They arrived quickly and orderly from a side door by the throne. Both female Jedi were dressed in their casual uniform. Obi-Wan's smile grew bigger, but then he stopped. Anja looked very different, somewhat changed, but in a good way he sensed. He studied her features with great intent. It was obvious that she had grown older, and into a charming and very beautiful young woman.
They stood by the King with expressionless faces, but Obi-Wan knew that Anja was hiding a smile as they made eye contact. Anja looked upon him with concealed interest and respect.
"Thank you very much for staying until this situation was over with, Master Ianol Eoni and Padawan Anja Theteve. You have my deepest gratitude." "Thank you, your Highness." Ianol nodded in respect and moved over to the company of the male Jedi. Her apprentice followed.
