I Am No Jedi: Ahsoka x Reader

Before-29

It took all of y/n's willpower to fight the urge to run after Ahsoka and wait outside the Council Chamber until she had finished, so he could say goodbye to his best friend one last time.

y/n found himself being called to the Council by Master Shaak Tii. At least she was a better and kinder presence than Master Windu. The Togruta looked at him and smiled when he thought this, and he wondered if his Thought Shield had been broken through by the older, more experienced Jedi.

Master Tii didn't say anything, and y/n wondered if she was simply being empathetic.

They arrived before the doors to the Council chamber. A gulp rose in his throat. He had only been in front of the assembled Council once in his life: when they were debating whether he should be allowed to join the Order.

Master Plo Koon had found him when he was eight, and brought him back to Coruscant. y/n's history and age meant that not all the Jedi agreed that he should begin training as a youngling, even though he was Force-sensitive.

After a long, they had eventually consented. Ahsoka and y/n became best friends, united by the Kel-Dor Jedi who had brought them into the Order.

Even now, as his eyes passed over Master Koon, y/n felt much more at ease.

"Masters," he bowed respectfully yet stiffly and acknowledged the Council.

"Relax, y/n," Even Piell grunted.

"Tell me, young l/n, do you think that you can become a Jedi?" Master Windu asked, leaning forward in his chair.

y/n flinched. He didn't expect such a direct confrontation. He could see in Master Windu's gaze that the Jedi was evaluating how y/n preferred combat, how his lightsaber was half red, how he was trained in the Sith arts as a child.

Nevertheless, being asked such a question seemed like betrayal. He had grown up on this path. He was dedicated. There was no way that he would sway back into the Dark Side.

"Yes, Master Windu. I do." He replied confidently. He resolved internally not to appear shaken or offended by any of the Council's comments.

Master Windu nodded and reclined back in his chair, though he did not seem completely convinced.

"If it is his fall to the Dark Side that you are worried about, Master Windu," Shaak Tii said, "then y/n should be given a compassionate Master. One who understands brushes with the Dark Side, and can help him."

"y/n is strong," Oppo Rancisis commented. "I doubt he will be tempted. However," he turned to the Togruta. "Master Tii is correct."

"Loyal to all he trusts," Master Yoda said. "A weakness, this could be."

y/n felt his face heating up, remembering how attached he was to his Raxshir Clan mates.

"How to let go, he must learn," the Grandmaster finished.

"Young l/n is adventurous, passionate and reckless" Kit Fisto mused. "Guided, these potential weaknesses could become crucial tools."

Saesee Tiin summarised the requirements. "Like Tano, y/n needs a Master who can mature him. But most importantly, one who can prevent him from the Dark Side."  

"Aayla Secura will be a fine mentor for y/n," Zabrak Master Eeth Koth suggested thoughtfully. "She was seduced by the Dark Side early in her Padawan years. Plus, she will help young l/n to loosen his attachments to people, as she experienced the same with her master, Quinlan Vos. She is intelligent and sympathetic, a good role model and will take well to y/n's...sense of humour."

"Members of the Council, agree, do you?" Master Yoda asked, looking around the room.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes..."

The voices of all the Masters present all rang around the room.

Aayla Secura. Former Padawan of Quinlan Vos, the Jedi who had taken the Wolf Clan to Ilum. y/n had seen her around before. She was a Twi'lek, blue skin, tall, slim, long montrals, kind face, encouraging smile, wise eyes.

Perhaps it wasn't going to be half as bad as y/n had thought.
