The Guardian – Prologue – Jilly James
Every Jedi deemed old enough and in safe circumstances was simultaneously given a vision by the Force. The Force itself was attempting to show that one was always called. For thousands of years, the duty of the one called had been clear, and the Guardian had fulfilled their purpose. As the influence of the dark grew, the Order ceased to understand the calling of the Guardian. Some Guardians stood their post for mere moments before falling away. As all the Jedi watched, the Force had none suitable left to call upon except a child. And then the last Guardian fell.
