Why this must be read:
April flew by! I hope you enjoyed the tour. This is my final rec of the month, a lovely poignant story in which Obi-Wan must face his inner demons in order to pass his trials. Destina is an awesome writer who couldn’t write a bad anything if she tried.
Excerpt:
It was near dawn when Obi-Wan rose stiffly, stretching tight muscles. So many things were clear to him, things his mind had surrounded with walls and excuses before. He had done something a Jedi should never do. No wonder the Council had cast him out so he could be made to see.
With the realizations came understanding, acceptance of his imperfections. He would never be the perfect Jedi. He would not even be the best of their Order, but he would learn to become what he had hoped so long ago - a man who followed the Light, who was one with the Force and who served its will without anger.
So many facets of his future had become clear to him...the threads were tied together, though he hadn't known how closely they were related. He loved Qui-Gon; he always had. As his teacher, and as much, much more. He had been foolish not to say so long before.
