Coruscant 34bby - 26bby
.
Naboo cruiser landed in hangar bay No.1 of the Senate, on board the nephew of Vice Chancellor Palpatine. He expected him personally. Palpatine knew how to get a leap of faith and then he wanted it all to himself. Anakin was happy to see him, he didn't know exactly where he was going to land, he wasn't told that, he was still a child.
"Anakin my boy, nice to see you again, it seems like so long ago. We'll fly straight to the Jedi Temple, I'll accompany you. "
Palpatine wanted to emphasize the importance of the new Padawan with his presence, but the Jedis knew how important the boy was and immediately sent his future Master to meet him.
"Your Excellence, Anakin, welcome to Jedi Temple."
"Master Kenobi, nice you came to greeting us. I am extremely happy to see you as Master of Anakin. Anakin my boy, you couldn't have been assigned a better Master. You are in the best of hands and I hope you will get along well with Master Kenobi. "
"Thank you for the trust Excellence. I will do my best to make Anakin the best Jedi Knight there has ever been. "
"I do not expect less Master Kenobi. And you Anakin, you have to do your best too. "
"I'll do that, uncle."
"I have to leave you here, the duty is calling, Master Kenobi. I expect regular reports on my nephew's progress. Have a nice day."
"You will get that excellenc. I also wish you a good day. "
Palpatine left and Obi-Wan Kenobi led Anakin through the halls and corridors of the Temple until they reached his apartment.
"So Anakin, this is our apartment. Do you even know what the life is in Temple, what your life will be here, or should I explain everything? "
"I only have a vague idea of what to expect, but I would like to know exactly."
"Well, let's start. All children of your age who come here to be trained as Jedis are called Padawans. Each of them is assigned to a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master. A Jedi Commission decides who is assigned to which Jedi Knight or Master ... assesses the characteristics of the child. Since I am the best Master, I got the best Padawan ... "
Anakin looked wide and was about to ask something, but Obi-Wan continued.
"... that was just a joke Anakin ..."
Anakin smiled. It's good that it won't just be serious and bleak here.
"... so Anakin, there are jokes too, but most of your education is serious and you have to listen carefully to what I tell you and obey. If I ask something from you, I know why I am doing this and you should speak to me as * Yes Master* ? "
" Yes ... uh ... yes Master. "
"You whole edukation for Jedi Knight does not have a specific duration, you will be raised to the rank of Knight if I think that you are ready for. Then I teach the Jedi Council and in a ceremony you will be raised to the rank of a Knight. "
"And when do I become a Master?"
"We want to take the first hurdle first, Padawan. Yes, first we have to cut your hair, your hair will be longer on the back of your head so that it can be tied and on the right side you will wear a thin braid. A Padawan always live in his Master's apartment. Here with me you get your own room. Every Knight has a large room and then he has to share this room with his Padawan. You are lucky that I am a Master and have a whole apartment, so you have a room to yourself. "
"Can I get out of the Temple?"
"Only with me. Contact with strangers is not allowed, you are only allowed to contact your mother and your uncle under my supervision. "
Oh, that doesn't sound good. How will he keep in touch with Padmé.
"Can I contact my friends on Naboo?"
"No. Your lessons take place every day, except on Sundays, when there is only sparring. "
"Sparring?"
"Exercise with the lightsaber. You have all subjects like the students in a Middle School, plus specific classes of the Jedi science. You'll be busy almost around the clock, but I've heard you're a smart boy and a quick learner, so I think it won't cost you that much effort. "
"When do I have to get up and when do I have to go to sleep?"
"Get up at 6am, shower, breakfast in the canteen, lessons until 9am, meditate, sparring, shower, lunch, break until 2pm, lessons 5pm, sparring until 7pm, shower, meditate, dinner, free time."
"Pretty exhausting."
"Do you want to be a Jedi Knight?"
"Yes."
"Then you have to go through there."
"I can do it. What about missions?"
"There are some too. You as my Padawan come with me, but you are not allowed to take part in the military operations, you are only allowed to observe. If you have learned to fly ... in a few years, you can fly too. For today I have no tasks for you, put your things in the closet and then you can meet the other Padawans in the garden of the Temple, exchange ideas, go out to eat and explore the Temple. Take a look at the library, you will spend a lot of time there. I'll see you tonight."
"Yes Master."
Anakin took his bag, went to his room and wondered how everything was clean and tidy. The room wasn't big, but he didn't need a bigger one if he was going to spend the whole day doing classes or sparring. When he came in, he saw a shelf to the right of the door where the desk was, he also had a swivel chair. To the left of the desk was a window. On the opposite side of the door, in the corner, was a bed, not exactly wide like he had at home, but also not a small one, next to the bed was a bedside table. On the left side behind the door was a walk-in closet, followed by a door. He went and opened the door, it was a bathroom with a shower. He had his own bathroom. Good, thought Anakin. He unpacked his things and put them in the closet. He would like to hang on the wall,the picture Padmé had painted for him , but he had the feeling that feelings, showing feelings at all, did not go down well here. He took one shelf out of the cupboard and placed it on top of the other, with the drawing hidden between them. He could always take it and look at it. His master would not find the hiding place. He didn't change clothes, went to eat and then went to the Temple garden. He knew right away that he would spend a lot of time here. The garden was large and perfectly laid out. There were many old trees, many shrubs, paths and benches and, above all, many flowers from all corners of the galaxy. He remembered roaming the meadows of Naboo with Padmé, how Padmé liked the flowers. He can't write to her, he would like to. He can only rarely contact mother and that under supervision ... that was unfair. He could contact his uncle, but he wasn't that close. He still wanted to visit the library. All corridors and rooms, except apartments, were huge and frighteningly high. The library consisted of many halls, each of which dealt with a different topic. The hallways were wide, with tables and chairs for the students in the middle. There were two-story rows of holobooks on either side of the corridors, but one section also had real books written on paper or parchment, thousands of years old. Not everyone got to see or touch them, only with special permission from the librarian Jedi Master Jocasta Nu.
"Hello. I'm new here. My name is Anakin Skywalker, I am a Padawan of Master Kenobi now."
"I am Master Jocasta Nu, the librarian. You are in luck Anakin, your Master, Master Kenobi is one of the most famous Masters of the order, he is also the member of the High Council. Did you already know? "
"No. What is the High Council? "
"This is a board of twelve Masters who lead the order. It consists of five permanent members for life, four members who can resign in old age and three members whose membership is fixed for a certain number of years. There is always a chairman who is now Master Windu. "
"And when it comes to voting, an even number is not exactly beneficial."
"A very wise remark, Anakin. Well, such a problem is solved in such a way that a common solution can be found through discussion and meditation. "
"Master Kenobi told me to look around here, I will spend a lot of time here, he said."
"Yes. In every corridor there is what can be found there. If you are looking for something specific, let me know. "
"I'm interested in mathematics and informatics."
"This is the third gear on the left."
"Thank you Master Nu."
"Have fun Anakin."
Anakin rummaged through the holos that dealt with math, found everything he wanted to study later next to the daily tasks that his Master had told him about.
The next day was the hardest. First his Master went with him to choose the right robe. The Padawans were dressed just like Knights and Masters, it was like some kind of uniform, but not quite. The color was not fixed, but most wore the clothes in beige or brown tones. His master preferred light colors, that is beige. Anakin decided to conform to his Master. All tunic layers in light beige. The pants were made of the same material and color as the outer tunic. Utility belt in brown as well as the boots. The cape was also brown. His master was satisfied.
Anakin had to get used to everything first, to this order, which was always the same and, above all, to follow exactly what his Master told him.
He didn't like the food in the canteen, not that it was bad, no, he was just a spoiled child when it came to eating. His mother cooked well and always prepared the dishes he liked, especially sweets. There was rarely anything like this in the Temple, where a healthy diet was observed.
The lessons were sometimes dry and boring. Anakin knew in advance what was coming. He was a math genius and was way ahead of the rest. Actually it was like that in some subjects. All subjects that had to do with technology were his highlights. He was good at history, always rummaging in the Jedi archive, he became Master Nu's favorite. Anakin wasn't that into science, but he tried. His weak points were painting and above all meditation, which annoyed his Master, he always had to remind Anakin to do that, otherwise he cannot connect to power. It was difficult for Anakin to do, he was a bit unfocused. He often thought of Padmé ... what is she doing now, how is she without him? ... and he couldn't write to her, couldn't call her. He didn't even know how his mother was doing.
During the first year he went on a mission with his Master. It wasn't dangerous; actually, his Master had acted more as an ambassador. Anakin was still a child, but followed the interactions of his master very carefully and was amazed at his ability to control himself in all provocations of the opponent, he always found the right word and always remained matter-of-fact… ..and then he remembered what Master Nu told him; Obi-Wan Kenobi would be one of the most famous Masters of the order. Yes, he saw. His mental abilities were unbeatable, but how good was he in combat? It will take a while until he gets to know his Master's skills as well.
You could say the first year in the temple was adaptation. Anakin wanted to adapt, he wanted to stay, wanted to be a Jedi. Sometimes he found what he had to do illogical or unnecessary or ridiculous and then he would tell his Master that. He seemed to him as if his Master was less patient with him than with everyone else, he felt somehow misunderstood.
Obi-Wan didn't always go to the Palpatine with him, although he'd like to. He didn't want anyone else to influence Anakin, even if that's the Vice Chancellor himself. He was the teacher and Master. Whenever Anakin visited Palpatine alone, his behavior had changed, if only for a short time. Obi-Wan made sure to accompany Anakin on such visits, and noted that Palpatine was not pleased. Obi-Wan mistrusted the Vice Chancellor more and more.
In the second year of training, Anakin was more and more busy with his tasks, the rhythm has settled in. A previously difficult duty to start the day so early no longer gave him any difficulties, he even enjoyed getting up early and meditating, lingering in the power of being alone with himself. Sometimes, but less now, he thought of Padme.
Palpatine allowed a meeting with his mother. Shmi came to Coruscant, stayed with her cousin as a guest and met her son once. It was enough, Palpatine thought, as did Obi-Wan, they didn't want to confuse the boy or throw him off course. Shmi was sad but didn't show it. She thought it was too early to completely detach the child from his mother, but she hoped it would be for his best. In an unobserved moment, Anakin asked about Padmé. Shmi only told him that she was fine, that was all she was allowed to do. Anakin accepted the answer.
When his mother left, Anakin had to go on a mission with his Master. This ended in a conflict with weapons. Anakin was only allowed to watch from the ship and fascinated how his master fought with ease and won, how he skillfully used his defensive fighting style. He admired Obi-Wan although he favored other fighting styles. During his training he learned all kinds of fighting styles, only later could he decide which fighting style would suit his character.
In the third year of his education, Anakin was twelve and then thirteen, in the middle of puberty and difficult ... Broken voice, bad-tempered, rebellious, stubborn, all in all, Obi-Wan had his troubles with him. Anakin was his first Padawan, he had no experience and could not compare. Obi-Wan was, in a broader sense, good friend with Jedi Knight Siri Tachi who had a Padawan who was only two years older than Anakin. They discussed about their Padawans, compared them, and gave each other advice. They hoped their Padawans would become friends. Just the opposite has occurred. There was a real rivalry. Often they had to arbitrate. Anakin knew, and now he understood how his Master felt about Siri Tachi, he knew that he slept with her, and so did Siri's Padawan Ferus Olin. It was just that Ferus was fifteen and in love with his Master. He hated Obi-Wan, who was a man in his prime and still very handsome, and so he hated Anakin too, but not only for that. Ferus was great at everything, but Anakin was only a little better. He always won the sparring matches, it was frustrating for Ferus.
The fourth year was similar in rivalry between the two teenagers and Anakin began to enjoy this rivalry ... to the suffering of his Master. The two fought each other in all areas. The only difference was that Anakin showed no interest in the female gender, he still thought about Padmé every now and then. How does she look now? Still chubby or not anymore? This behavior by Anakin came in handy for Ferus only to defame Anakin. He brought the stories circulate that Anakin was homosexual. OK. , Anakin couldn't prove that Ferus was spreading this story and didn't want to fight him because of it, he might be inferior, although he was already taller than Obi-Wan, but still shorter than Ferus. He decided on a ruse and hoped Ferus would freak out and attack him in front of everyone, which would have consequences. When he was with his Master with Siri Tachi, who shared a large room with her Padawan, he said to her, after she brought him a piece of cake from the cantina, that he loved her infinitely and hugged her tightly and gave her one little kiss on the mouth. Obi-Wan's eyes widened, but Ferus' reaction was as expected. Ferus freaked out totally and knocked him down. Anakin didn't just fight back to intensify the effect in front of the Obi-Wan. Yes, paid back.
Anakin won again. Siri and Obi-Wan knew why and let it go. Anakin was excellent at math and informatics. It was slowly becoming apparent what he would study later if he does not devote himself to the Jedi Path alone. Anakin could not be defeated in lightsaber combat, Obi-Wan was proud. Anakin's fighting style corresponded to his character, he fought Shien / Djem So, a style that was suitable for warding off blaster shots but also for dueling, which meant a lot of strength through the Force and endurance.
His greatest passion was flying, his ability through the Force to see the things before they happen made him the best pilot in the galaxy ... so was said.
Anakin graduated summa cum laude from Junior High.
Jedi High School was not a challenge for Anakin, so his uncle decided to give him to the Galactic Military Academy at the same time, which did not exactly meet with enthusiasm from Obi-Wan. He had feared it would burden him unnecessarily, but Palpatine had the last word. Missions and missions grew more and more. He was now allowed to take part in the fighting, and he did so very successfully. It seemed at first it would go without any problems, until Anakin began to suffer from nightmares. The healer Master Unduli helped as much as she could, telling Obi-Wan he should have more contact with his mother. It was granted to him ... ..by Palpatine. From his he learned that Padmé is fine and was reassured. Unfortunately, his mother knew nothing about Padmé's suffering.
High School was graduated in regular time, the Galactic Military Academy a year earlier, Anakin had the rank of lieutenant on leaving and the Jedis raised him to the rank of Jedi Knight. In fourth year of high school, Anakin had some missions on the Outer Rim where he demonstrated his skills and was promoted to captain in a short time.
He was preparing for studies: mathematics and informatics. He did not forget his flying, he wanted to take part in flying at the Galactic Summer Games as a representative of Naboo.
Palpatine thought it was time to start the second phase of the plan. The mandate of the old Senator from Naboo had expired and the new Senator had to be named. The Queen of Naboo agreed to Vice Chancellor to nominate the Count Ruwee Naberrie as Senator.

As for the level of difficulty, Middle School was an easy game for Padmé. She was very intelligent, had a keen sense of context, much more than any other girl or boy. Yes, they envied her, some hated her too. This results in a variety of attacks, verbal and physical. She took both of them hard. The verbal attacks put a strain on their psyche, the physical ones healed until new ones left their mark.
The attacks didn't stop, they were the order of the day. The teachers could only act when the guilty were caught red-handed, even then there were no moving decisions that condemn such lousy acts. The wrongdoers felt confirmed in their actions.
Padmé suffered more and more. Her parents watched as Padme struggled more and more every year, but only the victim was punished. They finally acted, and the director promised justice. At first there was silence. For some time the attacks stopped. Then it started again, but this time it wasn't physical attacks that left traces, it was subtle remarks or actions, stories circulated and the like. Her parents watched as their daughter ate less and less and withdrew. They thought it was normal, she was going through puberty which doesn't necessarily have to manifest like Sola. Sola had been insolent and rebellious, Padmé now very withdrawn, introverted. They got it wrong. Padmé suffered. A cute chubby girl would become a slim, withdrawn teenager. She ate little and struggled with her grief. Padmé was a pretty girl with beautiful features and brown eyes under which the dark circles were only slightly visible. Her hair was brown, still long and curly. She knew she was good-looking now, which added even more envy. She couldn't wait to finish Middle School ... but it didn't help, she would continue to go to High School with the same classmates.
The girls 'hostility remained, but the boys' behavior had changed. They were in full puberty, only had girls on their mind, and Padme was a beautiful one. That created even more problems for Padmé… .but she wasn't interested in these guys. She thought of Anakin often. How is he now? Has he already become a Knight? How does he look now? Definitely beautiful, he was always beautiful.
Her parents decided to send her to fencing school, she should exercise more. Padmé was surprised at how much she enjoyed fencing. It was not a lightsaber fighting style, that was only reserved for the Force-sensitive, only they could move the lightsaber with Forca. What Padme learned was an ancient art that was practiced thousands of years ago as a combat practice of attacking and defending oneself in the war. According to legend, this art was brought by the emigrants, supposedly by people from another galaxy who had to emigrate because they destroyed their own planet themselves, a planet called Earth.
What no legend said, but what the fact was, it was precisely this human species that colonized the galaxy for thousands of years, multiplied greatly and displaced the other species. They brought their culture, mentality, her whole way of life with them and put their stamp on the whole galaxy ... ..
However, Padme found herself in the art of fencing. Within three years she won several tournaments, not only on Naboo. She trained hard every day. The trainer was enthusiastic and encouraged her. He told her parents that this sport is one of the disciplines played at the Galactic Summer Games and if Padme far remains so enthusiastic and diligent, she could represent Naboo at the Galactic Games. Of course she would have to qualify, it was the rule. Padmé has won a few tournaments and thought she would. Well, there was still time until the next Galactic Summer Games, a full five years. The games took place every ten years, it was always a huge spectacle that was organized with a lot of effort, which took a lot of time. Padmé trained hard and won many tournaments. This success also brought with it the jealousy of the classmates, only now Padmé's body was well trained, she fought back and only a few dared to attack her. There were no bruises on her body, but her soul was scarred. She felt misunderstood and abandoned by everyone calmly. She didn't even have her sister, Sola was gone. She had married, or rather she was married. Padmé often thought and wondered what fate has in store for her. Her father has promised her that she has not yet been promised to anyone, that she will go to university. She was his little girl, but in the end she will have to accept the husband her parents choose for her. It's not that far yet, thought Padmé, and shortly before graduating from High School, she learned that her father would be the future Senator of Naboo. She was happy for him and for herself, as she will escape Theed Royal University, where she would meet again all the girls and boys she had endured for years. She will study Political Science in capital city... Coruscant, Galactic University Coruscant, GUC, the first, the best university in the galaxy. She hoped she wouldn't meet bad girls there, there are so many other species, maybe not all of them are as mean as humans. She wondered why she had to be born human. Is the malice in human genes, or was it just these girls on Naboo that got so evil? Even Anakin never got in touch, never wrote. Has he forgotten her? She didn't know that Anakin couldn't write her. She still wore his Japor talisman around her neck. She always did that at home because didn't want the precious piece to be ripped off her neck at school. That was the most precious thing that she called her own.
The big day of moving to Coruscant had come and Padmé was excited, what was she allowed to take with her, what wasn't, what would she need, what was there?
"Just take your newest clothes, your personal belongings, your fencing equipment, some items that mean something to you, dear. We have everything there. A big villa was bought in the best area, but for father, who always has to get to the Senate quickly, there is a big apartment in Republika 500. You will probably live there too, as it is close to the university. Everything has to be in the Naboo cruiser today, we will fly away tomorrow morning. "
The next morning, after the last breakfast on Naboo, the cruiser rose and left the atmosphere of Naboo in the direction of Coruscant.
