Clouds of incense smoke were rising in the family chapel where Rey and Amara were meditating, immersing themselves in the Force, calling on ancestral spirits to bless the event that is about to take place. The spirits were listening. In fact, the family council had convened.
"Do you think she is ready?" asked Anakin. As a senior member of the Skywalker clan, he started the proceedings. "I was not ready when Qui-Gon Jinn decided that I am The Chosen One."
"I think she had shown great qualities and strength of character," said Leia. "She is just like her mother - strong with Force."
"What about me, " interrupted Ben, looking at his grandfather to his mother. "I am the father. Do not I have an opinion?" He had become one with the Force and the Force had acknowledged his sacrifice. It should be enough.
The discussion of the ancestral Force-ghosts was about to get heated when Amara and Rey left the chapel and entered the great hall of the newly built Jedi Temple on Tatooine. Enclosed by the great dome, it was a place of soaring ceilings supported by graceful arches and full of light coming through trasparasteel windows. The heavy ornate doors swung open and Rey and Amara entered through central doorway. She was greeted by two rows of academy students who were there to cheer her on for this solemn occasion. Rey Solo entered from the side, accompanied by Jedi Masters Mavra Kun, the Order Sergeant-at-Arms and Ki-Tan-Khan, Order Librarian and Jedi Knight Ashland Sou.
"Who vouches for this girl to be worthy of being a Jedi?" asked Master Kun.
"I do, " said Rey.
"Amara Solo," announced Rey in a solemn tone. "Today, you become a Padawan, a Jedi apprentice. This event should not be taken lightly for today you accept responsibility to follow the code of the Jedi Order, to put comfort and wellbeing of others before your own, to always defend those in need and against those that value power above anything else. Ashland Sou will be your guide on this journey. May the Force be with you.''
Rey looked with pride on her daughter. Amara labored hard to learn the ways of Jedi and deserves to be a Padawan. She became a confident young woman and, yet, she grew up so fast. She looked so much like Ben.
