    • Journey to Coruscant : part 3
    Your dance is difficult even drawing on the desert-power. You dance through the katas like the wind but the younger Jedi is an obstacle you cannot overpower and despite his greater size, he is nimbler than you. You spy the hint of a smile in his face as he forces you through the sequence of parries. You will learn it by heart afterwards you think. Pace increases and increases until your steps begin to falter. Yet you will not be defeated even on an exercise. You are heirs to the gifts of Ekkreth the shape-shifter and you will not be cornered by anyone or anything. You focus your thoughts, perhaps not in the manner your master intended but following the ancient rhyme. You are Anakin. Your name means bringer of rain and bringer of freedom. You are heir to the ancient promise. Your hand grasp Obi-Wan's arm in what must seem like a desperate attempt to hold him off. Your hand grasp Obi-Wan's arm and lightning dances through your fingertips as you remind yourself of the power of the storm. It is nothing really, just a spark you could use to start something. It is just a spark yet it is enough to destabilize him.

    [Obi-Wan (Will 4), Compelled to act on Grieving Student so Will 2; Difficulty Great (+4); -2: -4: Terrible Failure]

    [Force Push+Grieving Student: +6+1: 7
    Anakin Resistance: +2+3: 5]

    And then you see it happen in a terrible moment. The younger Jedi is startled for a moment but shadows dance in his eyes. Grief and something else. Remembrances of ancient tales about forbidden things. Remembrance of bad feelings shared in the Council chambers, a dispute between master and apprentice. He is startled but renews his assault and you discover at your dismay he was playing easy with you. Your hands are not quick enough to intercept his foot as it strikes deep your belly. You are not nimble enough to dodge the fist to your head giving you a black eye. And you have no defence against what he does next. He strikes again not with closed fist but with open hand. He strikes but his hand never reaches your skin. You feel the universe contract and expand in a wave who sweep you away into a wall. The fraction of an instant you actually feel in advance the pain in your bones when you'll impact… Yet you do not. Teacher Windu's presence seize you in the air and stops your momentum. You are driven softly on the ground with no harm done and something realizes it's frightening. The wave conjured by Obi-Wan was dispelled with barely a gesture of your teacher and when you meet his eyes you see no warmth there. His voice rises cutting and sharp.

    "Knight Kenobi, it was unbecoming of you. Perhaps we were remiss to take the defeat of a Sith Lord as Trial enough." You see the shoulders of the Knight slump as he lowers his head and mutters apologies. One of them rankles you: "But Master Windu, he used Sith lightning…" You look in wonder. What is Sith Lightning? Do Jedi believe electricity evil or something? You have heard a spacer tell of a planet where they considered ice as holy so that's not so surprising. Yet there must be something else to the equation for your teacher locks eyes with you while continuing to speak to Obi-Wan. You feel his presence reach to yours and before these eyes you feel as naked as a newborn. His mind caresses the surface of your thoughts asking for the permission to see deeper. You speak without words and the fresh memory of the fight replays itself before your eyes.

    "I do not sense wrath in him, Kenobi." He advances and takes the young man by the shoulders. "I sense it in you and you have followed the path." He doesn't listen to the denegations before continuing. "You succumbed to fear even after a minor injury. Fear became anger and rage. Be happy the end of the path is only shame." You actually see Kenobi's hands reach to his belt. You think to cry out a warning but the Jedi composes himself and look horrified at what he nearly did. His face twists itself and tears runs from his cheeks. Warmth returns to your teacher's face but his voice weights heavy.

    "Knight Kenobi, draw your blade." And as ordered the hands of the young man return to their previous position and from the cylinder flows the emerald blade of Qui-Gon Jinn. There is something you don't understand in the situation but you are transfixed by the sight. Your teacher draws his own weapon and amethyst clashes against emerald. "Recite the Code," says your teacher as his blade lunges to his opponent's heart. The green weapon intercepts it and the voice of Obi-Wan rises amidst the clash of energies.

    There is no emotion, there is peace.
    There is no passion, there is serenity
    There is no chaos, there is harmony
    There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

    How his voice trembles when saying the last tenet, even as he tries to parry your teacher relentless assault.

    There is no death, there is the Force

    Mace Windu disarms him at the last word. Apparently, the lesson is learned but which lesson you cannot yet says. Your teacher meet your eyes: "Do you understand these words." And to your surprise you do. And you begin to speak.

    "Emotion and passion are strong as the storm but they pass out. We cannot fear or be angry all the time. Sometimes we don't see how things work out but that doesn't mean there is no system. Things being unknown does not mean they cannot be known. And the last…" You hesitate for a moment but then you understand. Light fills your eyes and you laugh for now the answer seems to be easy. "In the Force we are never gone, are we? It is part of us and we are part of it, forever and always;" And Ar-Amu gathers her children in the fresh air of night and guides them to a place without chains and without bars where there are no slaves and no masters.

    The smile on the stern face of your teacher fills your throat with sunlight. Another voice croaks in genial laughter.

    "Wondrous the mind of a child is. For weeks this one has listened and already more than most he understands." You did not hear him arrive and Obi-Wan lowers his head further as Yoda enters the room. "Gone Qui-Gon Jinn is not. Joined with the Force he is. Another transformation, another change on the road of the universe. Go Knight Kenobi you will and meditate on this too." He turns to you. "Afraid for your mother are you still?"

    And truthfully comes your answer: "No Elder Yoda. Not anymore."

    The journey ends and soon you will enter the Temple and begin your daily routine but something happens in the first days. Choose 1

    [] Compel: True Believer Obi Wan is not going well. Even if you don't know him that much you understand things are dire when he asks if you'd come along for an uncharacteristic night on Coruscant with some friends. That is very un-Jedi like on his part but you accept, partly because you don't want him to do something rash. Gain 1 Fate Point

    [] Compel Former Slave: While quick to learn, you still have to have lessons on how to read and write Basic. Let's say children, even Jedi ones are not indulgent when seeing someone in class for kids three years younger. Gain 1 Fate Point

    [] Compel Child of the Mother: You have not forgotten your former idea to build a scanner to sense the transmitters used by the slavers of the Outer Rim. The idea your master could have made you explode at any time is still angering you. Fortunately the Temple has an ample supply of materials. There you meet this Twi'lek girl named Ayla. Gain 1 Fate Point

    [] Compel Padawan of Windu: Teacher Depa Billaba has heard of what happened on the ship. She volunteers to offer you training in your first ever lightsaber training. At the end you almost think she is more frightening than Teacher Windu. The key word is almost. Gain a Fate Point

    Being able to read and write in galactic standard is pretty important.

    This isn't about what we learn this about what kind of incident happens. This is is that the children Anakin's age and older will pick and try to hurt Anakin for being an "uneducated savage".

    The Obi-Wan one is getting caught up in a major gaff with Obi-Wan likely invoking criminals.

    The Scanner is meeting Ayla Secura who like Anakin knows what it means to be a slave and likely will help him make a scanner and advocate with him to do more against slavers later on.

    The Padawan option is meeting Mace's Padawan and learning why she is dangerous as she is someone that walks close to the Darkside.

    [X] Compel Child of the Mother: You have not forgotten your former idea to build a scanner to sense the transmitters used by the slavers of the Outer Rim. The idea your master could have made you explode at any time is still angering you. Fortunately the Temple has an ample supply of materials. There you meet this Twi'lek girl named Ayla.

    As such going for the scanner it is a major goal and getting another friend and ally in that cause is important.

    Training with Depa is more "You remember when you said that as a slave you were going to find the Jedi training pace easy? Yes no. Upside you learn very quickly how to fight". After all she is not in danger of falling to the Dark Side yet (and IMHO nearly everybody would have fallen in her position, Harrum Kal is in the top ten of the crappiest inhabited worlds in the setting)

    Agreed. Whether or not the learning is the focus here, learning to deal with the scorn form the other jedi children is also important. We will likely be spending a good amount of time around them.

    Again Anakin still learns to read and write. This isn't anything that will not this is what kind of problem or major event happens.
