The lists were up for Exhibition Day the next and Sona was not surprised to see her name among those selected for the presentation in a few days. She felt a hollow opening up in her stomach. Since Sona’s thirteenth birthday was in a matter of months this would be the last time she would take part, and if she failed to attract the attention of a Master she would be place in a group assigned to ‘Advanced Basic Training’. It was the new solution to the Jedi initiates who were not selected instead of taking them away from the Temple. The need for more Jedi outweighed everything else.
