The Anomaly

Given a chance

I just stood there completely still not moving at all, along with my breath stopping. Anakin look completely concerned waving at me even trying to reach out to me but there was only one thing on my mind.

"This is it there going to send me to the service corp." It was for younglings or padawans who either failed their trials or a master deeming a padawan unfit for being a Jedi and was recommended by said master.

My body was absolutely num void of life at this moment, but it was brought back to life when Anakin put his hands on my shoulders.

I looked up at him and I could see the worry in his eyes, "Hey Korr are you alright?" I could only nod at his question as my mind was too busy panicking to do anything else.

I then breathed in and out, "Okay calm down maybe they just want something else from me no need to panic."

"I'm fine Anakin it's nothing to worry about." Anakin looks a bit more reassured but not entirely convinced.

"Alright come on don't want to keep the council waiting now do we?" There was a bit of a playful tone in this as I couldn't help but be amused at Anakin's nonchalant behavior.

"Even after everything Anakin's been through, he still finds a way to smile and make jokes." I thought with some nostalgia of when Anakin and I first met.

As Anakin and I were walking through the Temple there were some mummers among the padawans around the temple.

?:"Look its Anakin Skywalker!"

?:"He's the best duelist in the order!"

?:"Man, what I give to be his padawan, but Ashoka has taken that spot dammit!

My eyebrow underneath my hood twitched in particular to that last comment. Anakin Skywalker was very well respected by younglings, knights, masters, and even some council members for his skill with a lightsaber, commitment to the Jedi order, his pilot skills, and many other things.

There was a good amount of positive comments.

?:"Wait why is that weakling with master Skywalker?"

?:"Maybe master Skywalker is going to get rid of him."

?"Yeah, there's no way someone as pathetic and weak as him is worthy to be even near master Skywalker!"

Others however were very negative towards me as if the mere concept of me being near someone as prestige as Anakin Skywalker offended them.

I looked to Anakin as he clenched his fist a bit, he clearly heard the last comment.

As Anakin and I kept walking we ended up in a section of the temple with no one around, Anakin used this opportunity to pull me to the side.

"I know they're comments anger you Korr trust me I know from experience, the best advice I can give you is to use those comments as fuel for your determination and prove them all wrong, do you understand that Korr?"

I nodded at Anakin as honestly it felt a bit refreshing Anakin and I then continued walking to the council.

                                                                          (Anakin's POV)

As Korr and I made our way to the elevator for the High Council Tower we were stopped by two jedi temple guards who put their hands up to stop us.

"The council requested Korr I was asked to bring him here."

One of the temple guards uses their communication devices to inform the council as they then step away from the elevator to let Korr through.

"Honestly I can barely get a read on these temple guards puts me off a bit, they come off as emotionless. Taking the Jedi having no attachments near the limit, THANK THE FORCE I"M NOT ONE OF THEM I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STAND HAVING A MASK OVER MY HEAD TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN!!" Ignoring my personal opinions on the temple guards I look to Korr.
