The honed silver blade sliced down, severing the cord beneath
it. "An Apprentice no longer, but a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan Kenobi
has passed his Trials and now takes his place among us as
Knight, and Teacher. It has been decided by the Council, and by
the generosity of his heart, that Obi-Wan shall assist me in
training Anakin Skywalker in the arts of the Jedi," Qui-Gon
Jinn informed the assembly as he severed the braid that had
denoted his love a student.
Pulling Obi-Wan to his feet he looked in those beloved
sea-green eyes. "No longer made to walk behind me, now I ask
you to walk beside me - my equal, my partner in all things."
"I would be honored to walk beside you Qui-Gon Jinn," Obi-Wan
replied, a rare smile spreading across his lips. Now was not
the time to announce their life-bond. Oh the Council knew -
they always had known - but it was not public knowledge; there
was a protocol to be observed.
Applause swept through the hall and many came forward to
congratulate the new Knight. His choice of assignments was
joked about but accepted. It was common knowledge that Qui-Gon
Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were the best field team among the Jedi
and no one believed the Council would mess with a good thing.
The war came swiftly and painfully. Palpatine took no chances.
He would rule the galaxy with an iron fist. Or so he thought.
The Jedi fought back and the battle was hard and bloody. Many
planets rallied behind them such as Alderaan and Naboo. Obi-Wan
rose quickly through the ranks to become a great General,
Qui-Gon ever at his side. Anakin became a Jedi during the
conflict and took Amidala as his wife, but did not turn to the
Dark.
Without another to take his Apprentice's place Palpatine's
darkness was soon extinguished and Coruscant reclaimed by all
but the Jedi. Too many of their kind had been slaughtered in
the once sacred halls of the Jedi temple. They would rebuild,
not on Coruscant, but on Yavin.
Through all the pain and grief and loss there were a few
moments of true joy. Luke and Leia Skywalker came into the
world - powerful in the Force, with glorious destinies. Equally
joyous - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi declared their bond
before the remnants of the once great Jedi Order. Their love
for one another plain to see. Their bond a shining example of
the will of the Force.
When the time came to rebuild and the Council replenished, it
was no surprise that Jedi Master Jinn was named as co-council
to Master Yoda. Both Masters still felt the anguish at the loss
of their trusted friend Mace Windu, but by taking his seat,
Qui-Gon gave him the only honor he could. He continued Mace's
legacy of fairness and justice.
Obi-Wan retired from the military and became the Temple Master.
To him fell the training of the all those new hopes for the
Jedi order. And he did well. Anakin became the Jedi liaison to
Coruscant when his wife bowed to the wishes or the New Republic
Senate and became President of the New Republic. In time Luke
and Leia were sent to the Temple and trained by Obi-Wan, just
as their father had been.
They too followed their destinies. Leia took her mother's place
as Queen of Naboo and eventually President of the New Republic.
Luke became a great Jedi in his own right and eventually a Jedi
Master, teaching at Obi-Wan's side. Each of the twins found
love in unexpected places. Leia with a roguish starship captain
named Han Solo and Luke with the equally roguish Commander of
Rogue Squadron - Wedge Antillies, hero of Corellia and servant
of the Republic Alliance Star Fleet.
Slowly, balance was restored to the galaxy. There were
heartaches and growing pains, yes, but the brush with darkness
made everyone grateful for the freedom they were given, so they
worked together to create a new, stronger galactic order. One
that followed the Jedi Code as an tribute to all those who
sacrificed so much to bring about peace.
Steadfast and true throughout all these changes, throughout the
years, were Life-Bond mates Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Always
together, always in love and loving. They were the strength and
the heart of the new Jedi order.
When at last it was time for them to move on into the Force
they did this as they did everything else in their lives -
together. Forever one heart and one soul in two bodies. Forever
loved and beloved, merging at last into the very web of life
that created them and bonded them each other. Destined to love
one another eternally.
