*The minutes pass, and Soleia finds herself needing to employ the same force calming technique she taught the children, clearing her mind of fears and placing all in the will of the force* *At last, Kistal emerges and looks at Soleia* "They said to have Valon come in now."*Valon is on his feet before Kistal even finishes speaking**Resists the urge to give him a big motherly kiss on the cheek and puts her hand on his shoulder instead* "The force is with you, Valon." "I know."*Watches him walk into the council room, he looks so small. Soleia feels a lump rise in her throat* "Don't worry mom, he'll do fine, it's easy."*Smiles at her* "Don't get cocky, now." "I'm not, I'm just being honest.""I know. I remember my test. It feels like it was so long ago. I didn't have a hard time with it either- it was everything afterwards that was hard. And trust me, when it comes time to face the trials, you will be tested in every area, harder than you've ever been tested before." "I'm not too worried, I have a good master." "Thanks, kiddo." "Mom.""Sorry. Thanks, woman." "That's better.""But it sounds stupid." "Then say 'Thanks, Kistal' or something.""What happened to my baby girl?" "I'm still your girl, mom, just not your baby." "Well, I'll take it."

*After a while Valon returns* "All done. They said for you to come in, mom." "Alright." *Goes back to the council room*

*After speaking with the council Soleia returns* *Both of the children look at her, waiting for her to tell them what the council said, but not asking* "They agreed to let you both train." *Sees the faint smiles on their faces* "But here at the temple- for now anyway." *Looks at Kistal* "They want to observe you for a while, before assigning you a master." "A master? I thought you were going to train me.""I may, but perhaps there is someone better suited to you as a master, that's why they want to wait." *Kistal doesn't so much mind the idea of training at the temple for a while because she's always been curious about it, but the idea of being separated from her family causes a faint panic to rise within her* "Oh." *Looks at her feet**Senses Kistal's fear and puts her hand on her chin, gently raising it* "Kistal." *Waits for Kistal to look at her* "You will always have us. Your training has been very comfortable up to this point, not just for you, but for me too, because our situation allowed us to stay together as a family. But things have changed now." *Whispres* "I don't want them to change. I like how things were.""Listen to me. You don't have to be a Jedi, it's a very serious decision. It's going to mean sacraficing some of the things you want most. Whatever choice you make, your father and I will love you and always be proud of you, but don't let fear dictate your decision; rise above it, trust the force, and know that wherever you are, it's the force that will keep us close to you, always." *Thinks about what Soleia said* "I want to be a Jedi, even if it means I can't always be with my family."*Smiles and nods, though her heart squeezes painfully* *Straightens up and looks at Valon, who appears to be completely calm about the whole idea* Well, I guess he's fine. "Let's go home." *Returns to the apartment with the kids*

Jace walked back toward the hanger, hand-in-hand with her son. *glances at him* "Skandar, I'm surprised at you!" *laughs* "sorry mom, I didn't know I had it in me! When you and dad would tell me to focus I really didn't understand, but something about Mipho made me understand what he meant and I actually felt something whispering to me, but not really talking.. and then I just knew what was in his pocket!" *grins* "Dad's going to be excited." "I'm glad I won't be different now." Jacinth stopped walking and looked down at him, "what do you mean, Skandar?" "Chanle and Chase and Echo. They're all Jedi. And Jenz and you and dad.. I was different.. 6_6" "Oh, Skandar, Jedi are the ones that are different. You were just normal! Not now though, aye? Now you've got to be weird like the rest of us!" *laughs* "And, you know, I love you no matter what. Jedi or not. I'm glad that you can have a chance to be a Jedi, but it doesn't matter to me, or dad, you know that right? We love you the way you are. A lightsaber's not going to change it." "Ok, mom. But I'm still excited!" "Good! Let's get outta here! You get to meet your relatives for the first time!" They enter the landing bay
