The skyline of Coruscant glistened with the beauty of a rare diamond. The golden overcast of the sun reflected off the surface of the buildings reaching miles and miles into the sky. Traffic of floating cars, transports, and cargo platforms marched through the sky in single file between the buildings.
In the center of it all stood the Jedi Temple, a beauty in it's own right. Somehow it looked misplaced amung all the buildings surrounding it. Inside the top of the central spire sat the Jedi Council. They sad in comfort in a circle. In the middle of the circle stood Jedi Knight Andi Vuu-Shik, and on her right stood the small boy from Fondor, Kor'd Shepard.

Master Yoda's green eye lids opened from deep meditation, and his old eyes locked firmly upon Kor'd. "A trend this seems to be. Before the council children are being brought too old." Andi spoke, "If I might say, Master Yoda, I have been a witness to the hidden power that lies inside of this boy. If we sit here and do not try to teach this boy how to control his powers, he will end up lost. Who's to say that he might end up in the hands of a Sith?"

Mace Windu spoke next, "The Sith have been destroyed for a thousand years, Andi Vuu-Shik. There is no logical way that a Sith could take this boy and train him in the Dark Side." The boy looked around at the council and said, "I've been dreaming about the Jedi as long as I can remember. I don't much about anything, but I do know my place is with the force. It is the reason why I am here now."

Master Ki-Adi-Mundi spoke next. "According to the report that was provided by Knight Pal Deio, it was evident that you didn't kill your mother. Can you truthfully tell the council who actually did murder your mother?" Kor'd shook his head, "I can't tell you exactly what happened." Kor'd dropped his head. "I did, sir." Yoda spoke next. "Carry out that action with the Dark Side, you did. But you had no way of knowing what you were doing." Andi spoke, "Which is why he must be trained! Now! I love the Jedi code, but there should be some alowances to prevent potential force canidates from falling to the Dark Side. We can't just send him back into the world and he's come this far!" The members of the council looked around at each other, then back towards Andi. Windu spoke again. "I do feel that this boy is tainted already. And as it stands, I am not aganst preventing force sensitives from being trained as Knights. He is too old. That's the only thing that prevents me from accepting his training."

Master Depa Billaba spoke. "I wouldn't be so critical with this. We all know that Dark Times are ahead. The Force is being clouded everyday that passes. It really isn't a suprise to me that his future is clouded. On the other hand, he himself has the ability to foresee far into the future. I see it as a great asset to us. We need strong users of the force in combat. The council has replaced it members far too many times recently. I'm for it." Mace Windu looked at his old Padawan and smiled slightly, a rare event.

At that moment the whole mood of the council chamber changed, even Master Yoda looked suprised at this sudden turn. He managed a slight smile. "This is a just debate, further delebrate we must take before a decision we come too"
Jedi Knight Andi Vuu-Shik and Kor'd Shepard nodded towards Yoda, "Thank you, Master Yoda," Andi said.

With that, the Jedi Knight and the boy walked out the room. The Masters sitting at the council looked around at each other.
Windu, Yoda, Depa, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Adi Gallia, Saesee Tiin, Sifo Dyas, and Eeth Koth sat in scilence.
