Author's Note

I know it took forever to get this out, and I apoligize. I've been facing hardships left and right, and finally the waters of my life have calmed down enough to let me continue writing! Please enjoy this chapter, it might be a bit short, but I hope I impressed!

The Meeting

"Hey, watch it!" a Knight called out.

"Sorry!" Twilight exclaimed, rushing past a few dozen of her fellow Jedi. Some were scarred from battle thanks to the recent excursions of Masters and their Padawan Learners to the battlefield in order to help turn the tide of the war. She even ran into the famous Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

"Woah, where are you running off to, Sparkle?" Anakin exclaimed, with a cocky tone.

"For the last time, Master Skywalker, It's Twilight!"

"Whatever you say, Sparkle! You still didn't answer my question though."

Though fuming, Twilight began to tell him where she was headed. "Well, if you absolutely have to know, I'm on my way to see the Council. They wanted to discuss something with me." She smirked.

However, Anakin wasn't smirking. His demeanor changed at the mere mention of the council. "Whatever the Council wants with you, it isn't something to brag about, Twilight." He walked closer, grabbing her shoulder with his robotic arm. "Keep a level head when you go in. I sense that this meeting is going to change you in ways that you never thought possible."

"Thank you, Master Anakin. I'll.. try to take your advice to heart." With that, they parted ways.

"You surprise me sometimes, Master." Ahsoka murmured to her teacher.

"I might be cocky, but I've got a serious side sometimes..." he smirked.

A few minutes later, Twilight finally arrived at the destination she was racing towards: the Council chambers. she knocked on the door just slightly, her anxiousness getting the better of her. Waiting for a reply, many thoughts raced through her mind. Are they going to finally let me join the war? Did something happen to my teacher? Have they decided to go against their word and expel me because of my age?!

She could feel a panic attack coming on. Breathe Twilight, breathe!

Putting on a look of determination, she burst through the chamber doors!

...Only to see Master Yoda meditating alone.

Confused, she looked around for the other Jedi Masters, only to find it was just the two of them. The projectors were off, and the seats vacant. "Master Yoda? Where is-"

"Gone they are, or have you forgotten we are at war, hmm?" The little green Jedi said, eyes still closed and with a smile now adorned upon his aged lips.

"I'm sorry Master. I didn't mean to presume-"

The wisest and oldest of Jedi merely chuckled. "Presume? Presume?! Oh ho ho! Young are you, still eager to please, hmm? Hmm?!" Still chuckling, he uncrossed his legs and leaned on his cane to prop himself up, looking at the young Jedi with fire in her eyes, like so many before her. "Young are you, still so eager to please, hmm? Hmm?!" He still smiled at her, knowing his words held volume to the girl. "Your Master Celestia, just as eager during her Padawan years, yes! A lesson all younglings must learn is control..."

Those words brought back a memory of Twilight's back when she first arrived, no memory and lost...

Control, control; You must learn control!"

"I'm trying!" Struggling to lift a small training droid, currently powered down. After hours of trying in the study room, she eventually became frustrated and tossed it at the wall by accident. I'm sorry, Master Yoda, I don't know what went wrong...

"Nothing went wrong, my ever faithful student." Celestia walked into the door after hearing the commotion. "You just need to learn to control your emotions, as i'm sure Master Yoda has taught you."

"Hmph! Certainly I did! Though it seems my methods, not the right course. Master Celestia, care to teach our young one the value of control?"

Nodding, she knelt down to the now crying Twilight. "I-I'm sorry I-" Her throat dried out from shock- Her teacher was hugging her. It felt warm and friendly... It made her regret her frustrations. "My Faithful student, there are two sides to the Force: The Light side, where control and temperament is key, and there is the Dark Side, where Anger and Frustration is the source of power..."

"As beings practicing in the light, we are not able to use frustration. We need to learn control. Let's try again...

Suddenly Yoda prodded at her with his cane. "Huh, what?" Twilight gasped.

"Your mind, wandering it seems, hmm?" He chuckled, much to the Knight's embarrassment.

"I- Yes, master. I was reliving an old memory."

"Ahh, learn from the memory, did you?" She nodded in reply.

"Yes, though I sense I'm not here to learn a new lesson..." Her tone changed to a more serious one, eyes focusing on Master Yoda's.

"In a way, no." the old Master cleared his throat. "Here, you are, to teach young learners much like yourself. Master to them, you will become..."

"M-Master?! But I don't even know where to begin! How do you know I'm ready?! I-I...." she kneeled down, hyperventilating and thoughts pouring from her head. What if I'm not good enough? Will I fail? I shouldn't accept this, I'm not ready...

"Ease your mind, young one. Master Celestia, train you she did. And advise me she did, on this matter. You are ready."

Twilight sighed. "I-okay... If she thinks I'm ready..."

Unsheathing his lightsaber, Master Yoda tapped both her shoulders, a formality normally used in the ceremony of christening Jedi Knights. "No longer Padawan, and though short your knighthood was, the Council deems you worthy of the title of Jedi Master. Ready are you, to accept this title and its responsibilities in protecting and training your Padawan Learners in the Way of the Force?"

"I am" She stared into Yoda's eyes, an even bigger fire of determination burning bright in them.

"This moment on, never Knight again you are. Master, you become" He once again sheathed his rarely seen lightsaber.

"Rise, young one." Doing as instructed, she rose. "Difficult is your task as Master, for not one learner you will train, but five..."

"F-five?! Master Yoda, I don't think that many has been trained at one time before!"

"True, that is. Their previous masters, due to the war, many met their demise it seems... None will take them."

Feeling regret, she sighed. I am always forgetting we are at war right now. Those poor Padawans...

"I will train them, as is my duty as Master. I accept them under my tutelage." Yoda's smile appeared once again because of this action of kindness.

"Grateful, I am! A long journey you have. Meet with them soon, you will. For now, meditate and rest."

And thus a large journey has begun, just as Master Skywalker has said. The war may still be going on, but friendship will rise from it, and these six Jedi will have a large part in the unfolding of the future of the war, as well as new threats arising. They will face hardships and new challenges in the following months.
