Ryben Minto stood in his quarters in the Jedi Temple looking out at the coruscant skyline. In his hand was his severed Padawan braid. Ryben was in his early twenties, with short brown hair. He was about average height for a human male.
"Don't doubt yourself Ryben." An old frail voice said.
Ryben turned around "Master Fornia."
Goldon Fornia was an older man. He had long silver hair hanging down to his shoulders with a goatee to match. He was slightly shorter than average and frail looking. "Becoming a Jedi Knight is a big transition. I had doubts about myself when I was knighted. You will be fine Ryben"
"What if I fail?" Ryben said in an uncertain voice.
"You won't fail. I have faith in you Ryben" Goldon put his hand on Ryben's shoulder. "It is your turn to guide someone now."
"Are you talking about a padawan?" Ryben responded quickly in surprise.
"I have faith in you Ryben." Goldon said with confidence.
Ryben moved to a chair sitting down, "Master I'm not even confident in my own abilities as a Knight, what makes you think I'm capable of training a padawan?"
Goldon smiled, "Ryben, I have taught you everything I know, you have learned it all and mastered most of it. You have also learned much more from within yourself. You have far surpassed me Ryben, you are a more capable Jedi than I am, pass that knowledge along."
Ryben looked up at Goldon, "I wasn't that good of a student."
"You were the best I've trained. I know you can do this." Goldon responded sharply with confidence.
Ryben thought for a moment, "If I observe the Padawans will that get you off my back?" Ryben grinned jokingly.
Goldon nodded, "You may be surprised at what you discover."
