(Prologue)
Slowly, quietly, you open the enormous double doors to the Council room. All is silent and still. The mosaic-tiled floor seems to stretch before you as large as a moon. The door closes silently behind you. To the left is the panoramic view of Coruscant by sunset; the orange, gold and purple sky gloriously ablaze above the tall, spiking spires of the city.
Softly there comes a sound, and now the one small council chair turned towards the window, circles slowly back towards you. In it sits the smallest, wisest, most ancient Jedi Master alive. His ears perk forward with interest as he considers you. His ancient blue eyes seem to shine brightly, even as a hint of a gentle smile comes to his features. Silently he beckons for you to come, and you do, dropping to sit upon the floor at his feet.
"AHHhhh, come now do you to see me? �Tis about time, young one! Visiting with my Padawan at this website were you?" he asks, and you nod in silence, rather surprised that he knows about such things - and a little too embarrassed to actually speak. He chuckles softly, then sighs and nods to himself as if thinking of you, and of his former student.
"Come many do, and with good cause do they do so... In honor and character, very strong Qui-Gon Jinn is... compassion is his greatest strength... AND his greatest weakness! Yet - an outstanding teacher he is. Seek him many do. Training it is that I think YOU seek young one. Special training we can both give you indeed! Training and awareness which your world needs desperately! Perhaps begin with YOU we can, to change this?" he asks, and you feel your eyes widen as you catch your breath and swallow with a gulp. He unconsciously flicks an ear and seems amused as he smiles truly at you for the first time. You nod enthusiastically - quickly! Before he changes his mind! Now a soft chuckle rolls forth from him as he rolls the gimmer stick back and forth between the palms of his clawed hands for a few moments.
"51 Padawan did I train...too old am I for saber-play... More important for you are the mental realms of the Jedi. After all - a lightsaber does NOT a Jedi make! Get you arrested one would in your lands! This part I CAN do - willing to study with me are you? My Force 101 class you will do? Patience have you?" he asks almost as if it is a challenge, and you nod with a somber look, meeting his questioning gaze with steadiness in your own.
"Yes Master-" you reply, hoping you at least sound confident. Master Yoda seems to consider you for a long moment, then smiles rather secretively to himself. Still he seems to consider you intently, but now - it seems to be with a look of fondness. You are just a little surprised as a sense of peace and deep calm comes from him as if it were a cloudbank of fog moving over you. Finally, he nods as if accepting you, and you feel a tiny little voice settling down in a back corner of your mind. Gladness invades you, even as you wonder how this could possibly be happening to you! (The Force drew you to us, young one!) he whispers over the new training bond now begun between you.
