My eyes snapped open to the sound of a younglings small cry of alarm.
“Ekria,” I called out “What are you doing here?” I asked as I spotted the child no more then two feet away from me.
“Mommy!?” questioningly asked the child.
“No Ekria,” I started to say then stopped myself.
My thoughts turned back to the day that I found her a year earlier, she had called out to me like she did now, I reminded myself as Ekria climbed into my lap. I closed my eyes as felt a pull at my heart.
This feels so right but I know it’s wrong as I held the child close to me.
I opened my eyes and looked down at Ekria as she fell asleep in my lap. As the door behind us opened and in walked Master Windu.
“Knight Offee,” Master Windu softly said.
“Yes Master,” I replied as I gently got up while holding on to Ekria as she slept.
“I see you found her.” stated Master Windu with a smiled as I pondered what he meant by that.
“More like she found me, Master.” I quietly stated as I slowly tried to bow in show of respect to the senior Master.
“Barriss, “ Master Windu slowly calmly stated“ The council has sent me here to talk to you about your upcoming knighthood and taking on Ekria on as your padawan learner.”
I was shocked at first, then smiled before saying “If the council believes that I’m ready then I’m happy to take Ekria as my padawan.”
“I will tell the council your answer as well as get you new Master/Padawan room set up in the next few weeks.“ Stated Master Windu as he nodded before turning to leave.
My mind raced as I watched Master Windu leave.

Hum. You better hope that kid isn't as bad as me when I was that small! HA!
This is a good thing. A Padawan will be good for you.
Quite an honor and responsibility at the same time. Congratulations.
