(High Council Chamber, High Council Tower)

Meanwhile in the Council Chamber, Anakin was standing in the middle of the room facing the 12 Jedi Masters, while Jaden was sitting by the door. Windu was holding a hand-held viewing screen in his hand and looking at it as images flashed across the screen. This way they were seeing if Anakin could sense what was on the screen when he didn't see it.

"A ship." Anakin said. "A cup. A ship. A speeder."

Lowering the screen down, Windu looked down at Yoda and gave him a nod. Yoda hummed and started eyeing Anakin.

"How feel you?" Yoda asked.

"Cold, sir." Anakin answered.

"Afraid are you?"

"No, sir."

"See through you we can."

"Be mindful of your feelings." Windu said.

"Your thoughts dwell on your mother." Ki-Adi-Mundi said.

"I miss her." Anakin said.

"Mmm. Afraid to lose her, i think, mmm?" Yoda asked.

"What has that got to do with anything?"

"Everything. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you."

Moments later, the council had finished with Anakin's test. As Anakin walked back to Jaden, Yoda directed everyone's attention to him.

"Talk alone with young Jaden Skywalker i request."

The council members exchanged surprised glances, but no one argued with the Grand Masters request. Bowing their heads, Windu handed the viewing screen to Yoda and everyone stood up from their seats before exiting the chamber. Anakin looked back at Yoda at this before he and Jaden looked at each other worried.

"All right it is, young ones. Take long this will not."

Anakin reluctantly nodded. Tapping Jaden softly on the head, he followed the other Masters out of the chamber, while Jaden walked slowly to stand in the middle of the room, looking at Yoda.

"Young one, what you see on the screen to tell me i want you."

"Okay, sir." Jaden said quietly.

Yoda turned the screen back on and moved his eyes between the screen and Jaden, while Jaden looked at the screen, and he swore he could almost see the images directly.

"A creature. A cup. A speeder. A creature. A ship. A cup."

Yoda nodded his head and lowered the screen down. "Good. Very good. How feel do you?"

"Little afraid, sir."

"Miss your mother do you?"

"Yes."

"Mmm. Can do that leaving once's mother." Yoda chuckled little. "Exactly the same your father was."

Jaden looked surprised. "My dad?"

"Yes. Afraid too when brought to the Temple the first time he was. Remember anything of your father do you?"

Jaden looked down, trying to think. "Only small images, sir. He was kind. He always checked in on us back at home. But i was so little, so i don't remember too much of him. I don't really remember what he sounded like or looked like."

Yoda nodded. "A great Jedi your father was. And i sense much of his spirit in you, young one."
