Anakin was nervous. He was first assigned to fight with a short master. Their first bout was starting right away. Anakin used his fear and worry to add power to his fighting. He attacked right away forgetting he was to wait for his master. He lashed a good blow with his light saber then used his mind to twist the saber out of the hands of its owner. The fight was over in seconds. Anakin and his master had won. Anakin fought many more bouts paired with a new master each time. Each time he won.

Now that the bouts were over the future apprentices waited in the cave while the masters discussed their future. After what seemed forever the masters came out. Anakin could not turn to see who is master was but he felt him.

He had a strong connection with him already. Anakin could tell he was powerful just from his force signature.

King Joreous came and stood in front of the apprentices and recited what sounded like a very ancient edict. When it was over and Anakin had made the proper bows and said the ritual words he headed out side with his master. "Turn around boy" said Anakin's master when they were outside.
