Epilogue
Ten years later when Ryal was 21 he passed his trials and the Jedi Council made him a full knight. By then Anakin and Farra were both 33 and senior members of the council. Obi Wan was in his mid 40s and was still leading the council. He didn't go out on missions very often, as he was getting too old to do so. Anakin and Farra had taken Luke and Leia as Padawans after Ryal's knighting. Leia was Farra's Padawan and Luke was Anakin's Padawan. Both Jedi Masters would look at their children and see each other as they were at that age in them.
The Jedi order had begun to grow again in the past ten years as Force sensitive children were either sought out or their parents contacted the order. In time the order would recover fully from its losses during Order 66 and Ferus' attempted purge of the temple. Many of the Padawans had become couples and there were some who had married once they'd become knights. They would go on missions together and their children were also helping the order to grow. The Jedi archives were maintained by Farra as she had volunteered for that task after the Order was reorganized. Naturally Anakin was Farra's favorite visitor in the archives with Luke and Leia a close second. Ryal remained close friends with Anakin and Farra and Anakin was his best man when he married another recently knighted Padawan named Aryol Skl.
The Republic had voted Bail Organa in as Chancellor, replacing Palpatine after his death. The Republic grew and thrived under Bail. Those planets that had joined the Separatists were offered the opportunity to rejoin the Republic and the majority accepted. Those who didn't were encouraged to maintain close ties with the Republic and all made their peace with the Republic. Bail also maintained a close friendship with the Jedi and they continued their customary duties of maintaining the peace but only in dire circumstances. The Sith Holocron was recovered from Rattatak along with numerous Sith artifacts from Dooku's home world Serenno. Ancient documents about various Sith uses of the Force and how to repel or resist them were found in Palpatine's old quarters when they were cleaned out prior to Bail moving in to them. It was discovered that Darth Plagueis was responsible for Anakin's creation when the Jedi examined the ancient documents. Anakin had not been surprised that Darth Plagueis was his father as he'd suspected he might have been after Farra had learnt about him.
Anakin and Farra's relationship remained as strong as ever. Anakin was hailed as the strongest Jedi ever and was touted to succeed Obi Wan as head of the Jedi Council when Obi Wan became one with the Force. Luke and Leia were also very strong in the Force but not as strong as Anakin. The two Jedi Masters had had another child, a daughter whom they named Aniae. She was now 7 and training as a youngling in the Jedi Order. She was going to be Ryal's first Padawan when she turned 11 and she shared Leia's room with her.
