I was called upon once again by the Jedi Council. This would be the moment that would decide my fate for my future. I was just hoping that it would be the good news that I received rather than the latter. I took a deep breath before entering the room and the shock was that only the bald Jedi was seated in the room.
"You called for me, Master?" I ask as I respectably bow to him.
"Yes, I have taken it upon myself to take you in as my Padawan." He says and I feel the smile grow on my face. "Your training will start immediately and you will be training almost twenty-four-seven to catch up on what you would've already learned." He continues and I nod my head in understanding but an instant after, a wave of panic runs through.
"Master, would that mean that I would be separated from Anakin?" I ask and he stands and walks towards me.
"I'm afraid so. If you are willing to become a Jedi then you must learn to let go of your attachments to this boy." Easier said than done.
"I'll do my best." I reply and he nods his head.
"Your training will begin tomorrow, you may rest and prepare yourself for the days ahead of you." He says and then gestures for me to take my leave. I bow once more before leaving.
When I had heard that Anakin, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were returning to Naboo, I made it my mission to say goodbye to the young boy that I had become to see as my own brother and the man that I had trusted more than anything in the Universe. I ran out onto the landing platform as they were about to board the ship.
"Ani!" I shout and he turns around and runs back to me. I fall to my knees so that I could hug him and once in the tight embrace, I never wanted to let him go.
"Why aren't you coming with us?" He asks and I pull him back to an arm's length away.
"I'm going to be begin my training as a Jedi. Something that you will do soon. I can sense it." I tell him and ruffle his hair which earns me a laugh out of him.
Obi-Wan observed the two in front of himself and his Master. Qui-Gon looked at his Padawan and frowned for a moment before clapping him gently on his shoulder.
"Go. You would regret not saying goodbye. Who knows, you may even see one another again in the future." He tells his Padawan and Obi-Wan smiles slightly before walking over to the pair.
I watched as Anakin ran back to Jar-Jar and Obi-Wan approached me.
"To what do I owe this visit, Obi-Wan?" I joke and he smiles at me before looking down.
"I guess this is goodbye." He sighs and I knock his shoulder.
"Only for now. I'm sure we'll cross paths again." I tell him and his face washes over with relief slightly. I turn my bag hanging over my shoulder and pull out my device that I had been working on. I hold it out to Obi-Wan and he stares at it for a moment before taking it from me.
"You finished it?" He asks as he tries to figure out how it works.
"Yeah. I decided to make it a memory watcher. It will play any memory that you are thinking of while holding it." I say as I take it from him and then show him how it works; where to hold it and how the hologram showed the memory of when I built my first podracer.
"This is incredible Camari, you really are a brilliant inventor. And you'll make an even more brilliant Jedi." He chuckles and I find myself smiling and ruffling the back of my short hair.
"Obi-Wan… I want to tell you something." I stutter over my words slightly before one of the soldiers call for Obi-Wan to board the ship. "Maybe next time." I say and a look of disappointment washes over Obi-Wan's features.
"I promise we'll meet again." He smiles once more before walking back to ship. I stand there and watch as it takes off and then leaves the atmosphere of Coruscant.
Okay, I'm sorry this is short and a little rushed. My decision to make the plot this way is help Camari catch up on becoming a Jedi for later chapters. Bare with me and I promise this will make much more sense for the plot.
